Senator-judge Panfilo Lacson proposes measures to speed up the Senate impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. Among his suggestions is that witnesses scheduled to testify each week should already be at the Senate premises, so proceedings can continue without unnecessary waiting time. Lacson’s proposal aims to reduce delays in the trial schedule and maintain continuity as witnesses and related parties come before the Senate. The proposal is also presented as part of a broader effort to make the trial move faster, including steps intended to streamline arrangements for witness attendance and testimony during the weekly sessions. The move reflects Lacson’s focus on procedural efficiency while the impeachment case proceeds. No outcome from the proposals is stated in the reports. The articles present Lacson’s recommendations as an administrative approach to trial management, centered on improving timing and preventing avoidable disruptions to the weekly testimony timetable.
