WE have a government of laws rather than of men. That is the proud boast by nearly all our citizens. And yet it is being severely tested every day as our political and legal institutions break down.
On evident display is what’s happening to the two houses of Congress and to the Supreme Court on the issue of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial.A crisis is building up that could create so much unrest and completely unmake our political and social environment.On Feb. 5, 2025, 215 members of the House filed an impeachment complaint against the vice president.
” Senate President Francis Escudero quickly announced the scrapping of Sara’s impeachment trial in light of the ruling. But 10 days later, House Speaker Martin Romualdez filed a motion for reconsideration with the Supreme Court, saying the court had erred in concluding that four complaints had been initiated against the vice president. Only one complaint was initiated by the House, Romualdez said, the three others were initiated by some members, but not by the House.
