TULFO SEEKS ‘ONE FINAL DECISION’ ON VOTING THRESHOLD WATCH: Senator-judge Erwin Tulfo says the impeachment court needs to make “one final decision” on the 16-vote threshold for convicting Vice President Sara Duterte, noting that even former chief justices have differing views on the matter. On Day 23 of the impeachment trial, Tulfo raised the possibility of lowering the base number used to determine the required 2/3 votes, as not all 24 senators may be present during the voting amid the continued absence of some colleagues. | Eimor Santos

TULFO ASKS IMPEACHMENT COURT: WHO SHALL VOTE TO CONVICT OR ACQUIT? WATCH: Senator-judge Erwin Tulfo raises the question of who should be allowed to vote for conviction or acquittal in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, citing the continuing absence of some colleagues as the trial moves closer to the voting stage. “I am not seeking to lower the requirement. My question now is very basic, when we refer to all members, who exactly are we counting?” Tulfo asked Thhe senator raised the issue on Day 23 of the trial after the prosecution decided to forego its remaining 15 witnesses. He said the impeachment court must settle the voting threshold sooner than later. “The absence of those senators, whether we like it or not, will result in an acquittal by default… Should the constitutional design of making impeachment difficult override the equally important constitutional demand for accountability?” he asks. Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero called for a recess. | Eimor Santos

WATCH: House prosecutor Leila de Lima says it is improper to say at this point that the vote of absent senators may be counted as a vote for acquittal of Vice President Sara Duterte.

Senators Rodante Marcoleta and Jinggoy Estrada are detained over separate plunder charges before the Sandiganbayan, while Senator Bato dela Rosa is in hiding from the warrant of arrest of the International Criminal Court. | Lance Mejico

🔥🚨 JUST IN — Vice President JD Vance says there aren't even 50 VOTES in the Senate to get the SAVE America Act PASSED if the filibuster is nuked: "It's not the 60-vote threshold; it's the 50-vote threshold. Could we get 50? That's the question." "You still have some senators who are SO committed to these ridiculous parliamentary rules even though they know Democrats aren't." "A few GOP senators are DISARMING even though they know, if senate democrats have the majority, they're going to blow up the filibuster."

LUISTRO IN FAVOR OF REDUCING DUTERTE CONVICTION THRESHOLD TO 15 WATCH: House lead prosecutor Jinky Luistro says she is in favor of lowering the constitutional threshold to convict Vice President Sara Duterte from 16 to 15 votes, noting that only 22 senators should be able to participate should the voting happen today.

She added that if one more senator is arrested, the threshold must be further reduced to 14, with 21 participating senator-judges. Bel Zamora, House prosecutor, agreed with Luistro's opinion. Sen.

PADILLA REJECTS PLAN TO ELECT ESCUDERO AS IMPEACHMENT COURT PRESIDING OFFICER WATCH: Senator Robin Padilla says the minority bloc should oppose plans by some majority senators to elect Senator Chiz Escudero as presiding officer in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, although he clarified the minority has not discussed the matter. Padilla said Senate President Win Gatchalian should lead the proceedings in line with the Constitution. However, the 1987 Constitution only explicitly states that the chief justice shall preside when the president is on trial, and does not make a similar requirement for other positions. In a June 3 session, the Senate approved a resolution allowing the chamber to elect a presiding officer. “Dapat yung majority ine-encourage nila dapat si SP Win… Para sa akin nadedegrade yung tao e,” Padilla said. Gatchalian, meanwhile, said that as of today, he will preside over the trial, noting that there have been no discussions to the contrary. | Eimor Santos

‘IT WILL BE EASY TO MANIPULATE THE NUMBERS BY ARRESTING SENATORS’ WATCH: Former Supreme Court justice and 1987 Constitution framer Adolfo Azcuna said the Constitution’s requirement of at least 16 votes to convict in an impeachment trial serves as a safeguard against potential abuse and manipulation. In an interview on The Newsmaker, Azcuna said excluding sitting senators from the total number of votes would effectively disenfranchise the people who elected them. He warned that doing so could make it easier to manipulate the outcome of an impeachment trial by arresting senators to reduce the number of votes needed for conviction. | Tristan Nodalo

He says the House of Representatives is not blocking Duterte's presidential bid via impeachment. “It's not being used to rule her out... Nasa kamay ng mga senador to convict or acquit her,” Defensor says. The Articles of Impeachment proposed by the House justice committee seek Duterte’s ouster and perpetual disqualification from holding any public office. The House is expected to vote on Monday, May 11, on whether to impeach her and transmit the articles to the Senate for trial. | Eimor Santos
