The Senate is set to receive the House of Representatives' panel of prosecutors in the impeachment charges against Vice President Sara Duterte on June 2.

"Pursuant to Rule I of the Rules of Procedure on Impeachment Trials, we would like to inform your good office that, having taken proper order on the impeachment of Vice-President Sara Z. Duterte, the Senate shall be ready to receive the House of Representatives' panel of prosecutors at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of June 2, 2025", Senate President Francis Escudero said in a letter addressed to House Speaker Martin Romualdez on May 19.

Escudero said that based on a letter last February 24, the House prosecutors are expected "to read the seven charges under the Articles of Impeachment in open session".

The Senate will resume its session June 2.

"Thereafter, the Senate shall be convened as an impeachment court at 9 o'clock in the morning of June 3, 2025 for the purpose of issuing the summons and such other relevant orders", Escudero added.

To recall, Escudero said that the Senate impeachment court will convene twice after the 19th Congress and 20th Congress following the May 12 midterm polls. Marie Manalili/DMS
