参议院可能于本月召开弹劾法庭

参议院临时议长潘菲洛·拉克森(Panfilo Lacson)表示,参议院可能于本月召开弹劾法庭,并于6月开始对副总统莎拉·杜特尔特(Sara Duterte)进行全面审判。这一时间表取决于众议院对弹劾申诉的批准情况。杜特尔特面临滥用机密资金及其他指控。

参议院临时议长潘菲洛·拉克森在接受dzMM广播电台采访时表示,如果众议院在复会后的全会上批准该弹劾申诉,参议院可以在收到移交文件后的几天内召开弹劾法庭,并在至少三周后开始审判。

参议院议长维森特·索托三世(Vicente Sotto III)强调,召开法庭是宪法赋予的职责,绝不会拖延。拉克森澄清说,根据1987年宪法,“立即”意味着当即行事,不过在全面审判之前会先举行审前会议以确定证据。他回顾了2012年首席大法官雷纳托·科罗纳(Renato Corona)弹劾案中因意外证人出现而导致的混乱局面。

拉克森表示,最高法院发出的临时限制令可能会阻碍诉讼进程,但除此之外审判将继续进行。“弹劾法庭是一个平等的权力部门,其决定不能向最高法院上诉,”他补充说,并敦促参议员们公正行事。

索托在接受电台采访时表示,如果杜特尔特在审判结束前辞职,诉讼可能会被撤销,从而避免终身取消任职资格。这与前监察专员梅塞迪塔斯·古铁雷斯(Merceditas Gutierrez)2011年的辞职情况相呼应。律师洛娜·卡普南(Lorna Kapunan)则反驳称,由于存在取消任职资格的惩罚,审判将继续进行。
