‘SHE'S NOT A THIEF, NOT DISHONEST’
When asked about her opinion on the developments in the impeachment proceeding of her half-sister, Vice President Sara Duterte, Veronica “Kitty” Duterte said she believes her sister is neither a thief nor dishonest.
“I know that she can withstand what she’s going through right now because she has her truth, and at the end, that will prevail,” she added.
She also shared that she has not discussed the matter with their father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, saying, “we don’t want to add to his burdens.”

‘THE SUPREME COURT HAS PROVEN THEM WRONG’
Ito ang pahayag ni dating Senate impeachment court spokesperson Atty. Regie Tongol kasunod ng desisyon ng Korte Suprema sa kahulugan ng “forthwith.”
Ayon sa SC ruling, hindi agad-agad ang ibig sabihin ng forthwith sa impeachment trial kundi “within a reasonable time.”
“It protects the impeachment process from being weaponized through unrealistic timelines and reinforces the Senate's independence in fulfilling its role as a high court, proving that the institution cannot be bullied by public pressure or rushed by the misinterpretations of pundits,” saad ni Tongol.
The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤, during its session today, April 29, 2026, dismissed the petition for mandamus filed by Catalino Aldea Generillo, Jr., which sought to compel the Senate to immediately convene as an impeachment court to try the charges against Vice President Sara Duterte.
In a 14-0-1 Decision written by Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda, the SC held that mandamus, which is meant to enforce a clear legal duty, was not the proper remedy. It ruled that the Senate’s actions within its sphere cannot be revised or controlled by the judicial department through mandamus. As a co-equal constitutional body, the Senate’s exercise of its duties is beyond the SC’s power of review, except in cases of grave abuse of discretion.
However, specifically for this case and in the interest of equity, the SC treated the petition as one for certiorari and proceeded to determine whether the Senate acted unlawfully or abused its discretion when it did not convene immediately as an impeachment court during its session break.
Contrary to the petitioner’s claim, the SC found that the Senate acted on the impeachment complaint in a timely manner.
While the Constitution requires the House of Representatives to act within a certain number of session days on an impeachment complaint, it does not specify a fixed timeframe for the Senate to start an impeachment trial. It simply provides that the trial “shall forthwith proceed,” leaving the timing to the Senate’s discretion.
The SC clarified that the term “forthwith” in Article XI, Section 3(4) of the Constitution means within a reasonable time, which may be longer or shorter, depending on the circumstances of each case. This allows the Senate to make the necessary preparations to convene as an impeachment court.
While the Constitution does not set an exact date for the trial, the Senate must avoid undue delay to uphold the principle that public officers must at all times be accountable to the people.
The SC considered the petition moot because the Senate had begun impeachment preparations, and the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Duterte were nullified by the SC’s July 25, 2025 Decision and January 28, 2026 Resolution in Duterte v. House of Representatives. A case is moot when subsequent events remove any issues, making court rulings unnecessary. Since no Articles of Impeachment remained, the SC had no reason to order the Senate to convene as an impeachment court.

'I REALLY DOUBT IT'
Duda raw ang abogado ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa na nais ng mga Pilipinong huwag nang pasuwelduhin ang senador dahil sa ilang buwan nang pagliban nito sa Senado.
"'Yun pong 'yun ang hiling ng Pilipino, I really doubt it. Ang iba lang niyan ay 'yung mga detractors lang talaga niya," saad ni Atty. Israelito Torreon sa panayam sa programang "Ted Failon and DJ Chacha" sa True FM.
@SenImeeMarcos Bobo ka no? Syempre para ipaalam sa mga tao ang kademonyohan ng amo mo. Baho na ng bunganga mo kakahimod ng pwet ng mga dutae. Demonyo ka imee. May konsensya ka pa ba kinginaka?
'DUE PROCESS BA ITO O PALABAS LANG?'

‘EDI WOW’
Manila City Third District Representative Joel Chua inquired about the lack of any declared cash or cash deposits in Vice President Sara Duterte's SALN.
“At nung 2019 up 2024, kahit na singko po wala po siyang dineklara na cash at cash on hand, tama po ba?” he asked Atty. Karen Batu of the Office of the Ombudsman.
“Based on the submitted SALN, wala pong nakalagay na cash on hand or bank deposits,” she said on Wednesday. (Video/HREP)

UPDATE: Kinumpirma ng Kalamansig LGU na nasawi kagabi, Mar. 21, ang balyena na napadpad sa Poral beach sa Sultan Kudarat.
Napadpad ang nanghihinang balyena sa nasabing beach kahapon kung saan sinakyan at pinaglaruan ng mga tao.
May limang lalaki naman daw na sumubok na itulak ang balyena patungo sa malalim na bahagi ng tubig, pero nagkagulo ang sitwasyon nang palibutan na ng mga bangka ang balyena.
Base sa imbestigasyon ng LGU, 6 AM kahapon nang mapadpad sa isang pampublikong dalampasigan ang isang sperm whale.
Bandang 6:00 PM naman kagabi, tuluyang binawian ng buhay ang naturang balyena. Hindi na ito isinailalim sa autopsy, at kaninang umaga ay ipinalaot na lamang ito pabalik sa dagat upang doon na mag-decompose.
Ayon kay Mayor Ronan Garcia, tinutunton na ng mga awtoridad ang mga sumakay sa balyena at pinag-aaralan na kung kakasuhan sila ng paglabag sa Animal Welfare Act at sa Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act. | via Mav Gonzales/GMA Integrated News
