SENATE President Chiz Escudero on Tuesday appealed to fellow senators to avoid making public comments regarding the impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.

Escudero’s call came after a coalition of various organizations filed an impeachment complaint against the vice president Monday.

He said that the filing and endorsing of an impeachment complaint in the House of Representatives marks the beginning of a constitutional process.

“In light of this situation, I urge my fellow Senators to avoid making any public comments or statements about the allegations presented in the articles of impeachment,” the Senate chief said. He added that if the Senate is called to serve as an impeachment court, any appearance of bias or pre-judgment could compromise the integrity of the impeachment trial and the public’s trust in the Senate as an institution.

Escudero said that although impeachment is often viewed as a political process, Senate members must approach it impartially and objectively.
