CAYETANO VS. CAYETANO ON ‘FORTHWITH’ Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano appears to contradict his own interpretation of the word “forthwith” in relation to the Senate convening as an impeachment court for Vice President Sara Duterte. During a Senate plenary session in June 2025, Cayetano argued that “forthwith” does not necessarily mean “immediate” or “agad-agad.” However, in a later interview with BNC anchor Korina Sanchez-Roxas, the newly installed Senate president said that “forthwith” does mean “agad-agad,” contradicting his earlier position.
