The Senate impeachment court rules on the show-cause order issued against House prosecutor and Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon for comments he made during media interviews that were alleged to violate the sub judice rule. According to Ridon, the court does not cite him for the alleged violation, but instead issues a stern warning.
Ridon says the court considered his explanation for why he should not be cited and that it issues its decision after Day 30 of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial. He also confirms that he shares a copy of the ruling with reporters. Both outlets describe the outcome consistently as a stern warning rather than a formal reprimand or citation. They differ mainly in the amount of detail they provide, with one outlet offering Ridon’s confirmation of the timeline and that he received and relayed the ruling.
