Lead Public Prosecutor and Batangas 2nd District Representative Gerville Luistro hopes that the ongoing conflict between the Senate’s majority and minority bloc won’t affect the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

According to Luistro, the House prosecution panel has not yet received any notices from the Senate impeachment court.

She emphasized that regardless of the conflict, the Senate must remember their constitional duty to the public.

“Sana walang spill over dito sa impeachment trial. I hope that regardless of the situations happening in the Senate, I hope they will be reminded that this is one of our constitutional duties to the sovereign Filipino people,” she said

[“I hope there is no spillover here into the impeachment trial. I hope that regardless of the situations happening in the Senate, I hope they will be reminded that this is one of our constitutional duties to the sovereign Filipino people.”]

She also noted that the impeachment proceedings should not be delayed and must be faced forthwith.

“There is no option to stop. There is no option to delay. The only option is trial forthwith,” she added
