“Chiz Escudero said the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte will not be dictated by Duterte’s critics who may want to “rush” the trial.”
What Vera Files found
The circulating posts cut relevant portions of Escudero’s speech during the June 9 plenary session of the Senate. It was not about the dismissal of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment case. He said he will not be swayed by the demands of both Duterte's critics AND supporters. The video cut out the portion mentioning the vice president’s supporters.
