The Senate postpones the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte and moves to a work-from-home setup for Monday, Aug. 10, citing continued heavy rains. Local disruptions from weather are also reported, affecting face-to-face work and classes.
Inquirer.net reports that Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian announces there will be no trial and no Senate session that day due to the rains and resulting government restrictions. The outlet also links the decision to a Malacañang memorandum directing work-from-home arrangements for government offices in Metro Manila and several provinces on Aug. 10 because of ongoing rainfall from the southwest monsoon.
Philstar.com similarly notes that the impeachment trial is paused for Aug. 10, attributing the halt to weather conditions that interrupt in-person activities. Across the outlets, the central point is that the trial does not proceed on Aug. 10 as the Senate shifts to WFH due to habagat-related rains.
