@rappler: Panganiban asserts 'active presence' of senator-judges: Is it fair for absentees to cast vote? WATCH: Former chief justice Artemio Panganiban argues the need for the "active presence" of senator-judges in the impeachment trial. "Is it truthful and fair to allow senators to cast their vote despite being absent from the proceedings? Is it fair and truthful should the senators be allowed to vote if they were in hiding, abroad, legally detained, sick, hospitalized, or otherwise absent, and have not been able to access the documents, have not heard the testimonies and have not observed the demeanor of the witnesses?" Panganiban tells the impeachment court. Panganiban insists on a common sensical interpretation of the Constitution, adding that the intention of the framers must not necessarily prevail.

The other one presented a good need not be physically present to rule on a case. That's why some pending cases can be presided by one judge but can be ruled on by another by reviewing rhe documents/court records. Before you attack and brand me a dds, I am not saying the scenarios are the same. I'm just merely pointing out that judgment can be made even if not physically present.
