@manilabulletin: "WHEN THE LAW IS CLEAR, THERE'S NO ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION" Defense Atty. Michael Poa begins oral arguments in response to the prosecution’s threshold-voting argument during the 29th day of VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Article II on Wednesday, September 23. The Defense team repeated their position that 16 votes should be the threshold to convict in the impeachment trial. Poa explained that when the law is clear, it should be applied as written, not interpreted. He said the Constitution is straightforward on this issue, and the answer to the conviction threshold is simple: 16 votes.

Literally Statutory Construction. Verba Legis Rule (Plain Meaning Rule). If a statute is plain and free from ambiguity, there should be no room interpretation, only application.

being detained does not automatically mean they ceased being senators, they are still members of the senate.

Attorney Poa please run for senators in 2028, we need a Senators who knows the constitution. We don't need a so called senators Bend the Law. We need U to protect our country and the Filipinos. Thanks for protecting OVP khit ginawa na Nola ang lhat para lnv ma convict c Sarah khit talk na sila sa impeachment. Phat nlng gagawin wag lnv maungkat ang flood control corruption kc ang dami nilang makukulong. Kaya itong mga buwaya nato gagawin ang lhat kgit baguhin na nila ang constitution bsta mapakiling lng nika ang ovp.
