@gmanews: WHAT IF NINE OR MORE SENATORS DIED? According to retired Associate Justice Adolf Azcuna, if nine senators died and only 15 are left, then the baseline for the voting threshold would be two-thirds of 15 and the Senate impeachment court would still be able to do business. But if 13 senators died and only 11 are left, the court will not reach quorum and must postpone the proceedings until a special election has been accomplished. #VPOnTrial Tune in to the live coverage of GMA News on the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. #GMANews

Death changes the number of members, but, what if 9 were absent and unavailable to vote as with the current situation of a few senators. Is 2/3 16? if so, does that not mean an abstencia equals automatic no vote and since 9 are absent and 2/3 therefore cannot be achieved, the mechanism of impeachment is made null.

The three former Chief Justices of the Philippines have given our Senators valuable legal guidance as amici curiae. Now, it is up to our Senators to act with wisdom, integrity, and independence. Don’t let this become anotherdisappointment for the Filipino people. Let justice be served. First, resolve the issue of which Senator-Judges can legitimately participate and cast an impartial vote. Then, decide whether to convict or acquit based on the evidence and the law..not on politics, personal affiliations, or the possibility that someone may someday return the favor. This is your constitutional responsibility. This is your moment to show the Filipino people that their elected officials can put justice and the rule of law above political interests.

Ang galing magexplain ni Azcuna. 👏 Para sa akin, dapat maging maingat tayo sa pagbabago ng threshold. Ayaw nating maging mas madali para sa mga makapangyarihan na baguhin ang rules o threshold kapag pabor sa political interests nila. Dapat fixed at consistent ang safeguard, para kahit sino pa ang nasa kapangyarihan ngayon o sa future, pareho ang rules para sa lahat.
