Carpio assessed that the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte is progressing toward formal proceedings in the Senate.
He noted that:
- Probable cause has already been established
- The House Committee is expected to conclude its investigation and submit recommendations
- A vote of at least one-third of House members is sufficient to transmit Articles of Impeachment to the Senate
Once transmitted:
- The Senate will convene as an impeachment court
- Evidence, including financial records, may be presented and examined in detail
Carpio emphasized that the process is already moving within constitutional timelines, making further escalation highly likely.
