马尼拉众议员乔尔·楚（Joel Chua）周六表示，只有积极参与副总统萨拉·杜特尔特（Sara Duterte）弹劾审判的参议员法官，才有权对其定罪或无罪释放做出裁决。
身为众议院检控小组一员的楚在回应有关参议院组成的问题时发表了上述言论。参议员景戈·埃斯特拉达（Jinggoy Estrada）和罗纳德·德拉罗萨（Ronald dela Rosa）目前面临可能影响其参审资格的法律问题。
杜特尔特于5月11日遭到众议院弹劾，涉及涉嫌滥用保密资金等四项指控。楚担任针对特定条款的首席检察官。
一个由120个团体组成的联盟发起了“弹劾观察”（Bantay Impeachment）倡议，以监督将于7月6日开始的审判。该倡议涵盖公众教育和事实核查等工作。
楚补充说，参议院必须推进审判，不能撤销案件。如果证据充足，控方可能会将重点放在较少的几项指控上。
