Senator judges’ absences not a concern impeachment court

The absence of some senator-judges from the ongoing impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte does not pose a problem. Impeachment Court spokesman Reginald Tongol said that as long as the chamber maintains a quorum, there is no cause for concern. Tongol said senator-judges may miss proceedings for personal reasons or because of other official duties as senators. His statement came amid continued scrutiny of the attendance of members of the 24-member Senate. Senator-judges Loren Legarda and Alan Peter Cayetano were absent during the proceedings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
