Manila, Philippines – Vice President Sarah Turtte’s allegation that the Senate will be firm amid the external pressures surrounding the investigation, said Senate President Sis Escudero on February 19.

The report also requested that the Supreme Court be forced to stop or stop the proceedings to proceed with an investigation as several cases have been filed in the Supreme Court.

Responding to the attention, Escudero rejected a “glamor” recommendations, and that no noise on the allegation will trigger the Senate.

“What’s the shout? Who is the? “Escudero asked at a press conference in Cuzen.

During the Congress break and three people urged him to work in urgent proceedings before the interim elections in May.

“I don’t define it as glamor,” Escutter also said.

Durte’s accusation case was sent to the Senate shortly before the Congress was adjourned to its break. Although some argued that Senators should address it during the break, Escudero has maintained that action will begin in the 20th Congress after the selection of 12 new senators.

View of Escuttero. After the allegations took place in the past, Escutter said that the case should not be held differently. Even a real glamor will not keep those voices right.

“Let us recall Jesus’ time. He was shouting to nail the crucifixion, which does not mean that it is not true or right, ”said Escutter.

However, the Supreme Court will be an authority to move the Senate. “It’s not as if I say no,” the Senate leader said.

He made it clear that the task of facing the judges would fall into the office of the Solicitor General’s office to respond to the High Court, because this is the job of a government consultant.

Other requests. Escutter also addressed the request of a lawyer’s “certified actual copy” of the allegation articles – resolutions prepared by the House of Representatives.

“We are not in the right place to give the allegation certificate, because it was the epitome of it. We accepted it, so if they want to ask for a copy, they can ask for a house, but it is already in the Senate,” said Escudero.

On the same day, the progressive group Bayan Muna submitted a status paper to immediately convene an indictment court. The committee argued that the existing charges of charges could already be used from the 19th Congress, and the investigation was designed as an electoral issue, especially in the Senate to be replaced in the upcoming interim elections.

“The charge must be turned into an election issue. All candidates -the Senatorial and Party List believers -in fact they declare their position on this issue,” the group said.

Escutter agreed that such a position was also considered.
