Former Supreme Court justices in the Philippines have raised concerns about whether senators who are abroad or hiding should be allowed to vote in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. Retired Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. Argued that the two-thirds majority required for conviction should only include senators who are legally and physically qualified to vote, not the full 24-member Senate. This comes as former Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban questioned the fairness of letting senators who are absent or in hiding participate in the voting process. Panganiban noted that some senators have been given time to examine evidence and argue their case, while others are not present. The debate highlights growing scrutiny over the procedural fairness of the impeachment process. The trial continues as lawmakers and legal experts weigh the implications of voting rules in a high-profile political case.
