Main Points
Senator Rodante Marcoleta announced on Thursday that he will not request a temporary release from the Sandiganbayan to vote on the impeachment threshold for Vice President Sara Duterte.
During a press conference in Manila, Marcoleta said, “No, I will not move for a furlough just to vote for the threshold.” The senator clarified that he will remain in the Sandiganbayan and participate in the vote from within the court.
The vote concerns whether to revise the 16‑vote requirement for conviction in Vice President Duterte’s impeachment trial. The Sandiganbayan, the special court that is hearing the case, has been holding sessions to determine the appropriate threshold for a conviction.
Marcoleta’s decision comes as the impeachment proceedings continue, with the Senate and the Sandiganbayan reviewing the evidence and legal arguments presented by both sides.
