DE LIMA, MAKUKULONG ULIT BA? Marami ang nagulat sa lumabas na desisyon ng Court of Appeals na pagbawi sa naunang desisyon ng Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court sa kaso ni Leila de Lima . Ano nga ba ang sinabi ng desisyon ng CA?

In my opinion, the assertion that when the 19th congress is terminated, the Senate impeachment trial is "functionally dismissed" as asserted by Senator Tolentino IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Why? The reasons can easily be explained: First. The Senate has these three important,

ANG MATAAS NA TUNGULIN NG MGA SENADOR SA IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. Ayon sa ating Saligang Batas, ang senado ay ang natatanging institusyon na may kapangyarihan "MAGLITIS AT HUMATOL" ( to try and decide) sa anumang impeachment trial laban kay nino man. Ang binigay na kapangyarihan ay

MAAARI BANG MAKULONG ANG MGA SENATOR-JUDGES NA NAG-AANTALA SA IMPEACHMENT-TRIAL? Ano tingin nyo? ARTICLE 207 of the Revised Penal Code. Malicious delay in the administration of justice.-The penalty of prision correccional in its minimum period (From 6 months and 1 day to 2 years
