The Senate impeachment court is aiming to issue a ruling on Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment case by the end of November, Senate President and senator-judge Sherwin Gatchalian says.
Gatchalian tells radio and cites expectations for the impeachment proceedings to be completed before Christmas, but says recent developments could allow the Senate to finish earlier. In interviews, he expresses that the timeline could fall in mid-November to end-November and indicates he believes the trial could end and the court could issue its verdict by then. The accounts focus on the court’s scheduling goal rather than the substance of the charges, describing the planned timetable and how it may shift based on changes in the process.
