The 2025 senatorial election is not only among the most crowded and most expensive ever, it is also shadowed by the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Legal challenges have been filed before with the Supreme Court, either to compel the Senate to start the impeachment trial right away or to stop the trial.
What other legal issues may be raised for or against the impeachment? As the Vice President’s impeachment has become an election issue, will it affect the outcome of the Senate race?
In this episode of In The Public Square, Rappler columnist and editorial consultant John Nery is joined by Ted Te, former Supreme Court spokesperson and a professor at the University of the Philippines College of Law, and Lulu Reyes, a scholar on impeachment and on the Supreme Court, and the Master of Law program coordinator at St. Louis University School of Law in Baguio City.
