Former Senate President Franklin Drilon said that the 2028 presidential elections are already being shaped by developments in the Senate. Drilon also told #OnPoint that if the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte pushes through, it would be politically damaging for her.

The contemptuous novice Senator Rodante Marcoleta strikes again, this time attempting to disrupt the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee investigation on the flood (out of) control and related projects. The onion-skinned who was replaced by a veteran investigator and Senator, Panfilo Lacson, had the shortest stint as Blue Ribbon Committee Chair of the Senate’s history after just 40 days in the wilderness. His continuing conduct in the ongoing senate investigation shows his prejudicial behaviour in prematurely manipulating the procedures in having the Discayas become state witnesses under the Witness Protection Program of the DOJ. He was repudiated for this.

Drilon explained that Duterte would only need nine senators to vote in her favor.
