Can We Stop It?” Camille Villar Gets Emotional Over Erwin Tulfo’s “Low Blow” | N18G

During the Senate impeachment trial proceedings, Senator-Judge Erwin Tulfo argued for reconsidering the computation of the two-thirds voting threshold required for conviction under the Constitution. Addressing the timeliness of his motion, Tulfo highlighted that several senators are currently unable to participate, noting that one member is on medical leave abroad, another is in hiding, and two others are detained under custody. Citing constitutional interpretations, Tulfo emphasized that 'the mathematical baseline dynamically moves or varies depending on structural, operational, situational factors affecting the Senate composition' rather than remaining an immutable number. Following manifestations from Senator-Judge Camille Villar advocating for fairness toward absent colleagues, Senator-Judge Vicente Sotto III proposing retention of the two-thirds fraction of eligible voting members, and Senator-Judge Robin Padilla questioning counsel on constitutional oaths, Tulfo clarified his stance. He noted that he did not label absent peers as convicted, maintaining that discussing the reasons behind senators' absence remains essential to determining the court's valid voting baseline. #ErwinTulfo #SenatePH #ImpeachmentTrial #VotingThreshold #PhilippineSenate #CamilleVillar #TitoSotto #RobinPadilla #ConstitutionalLaw #TwoThirdsVote #Sandiganbayan #SenateProceedings #ImpeachmentCourt #PHNews #PhilippinePolitics #LegalDebate #SenateFloor #RuleOfLaw #JudicialProcess #PublicAccountability Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
