House prosecutor Akbayan Party-list Rep. Chel Diokno in a press briefing on Wednesday, Sept. 23, says the Senate impeachment court’s new interpretation of the voting threshold in Vice President Sara Duterte’s trial will not automatically bind future impeachment courts facing a similar dispute.

00:00Well, actually, the difference between the impeachment courts in the regular court is that
00:08we have a judicial precedent.
00:12If the Supreme Court will be applied in a decision, we can apply in other similar cases
00:20in the future.
00:21But as far as I know, there is no such similar kind of hard and fast rule for impeachment cases.
00:30Of course, in the previous hearings, there have been discussions about
00:34kung ano yung nangyari nung impeachment trial ni Chief Justice Corona,
00:39anong nangyari nung impeachment trial ni dating Pangulong Erap Estrada.
00:43But hindi natin mahalin tulad yun dun nga sa judicial precedent o stare decisis.
00:53I think yung usually yung paggamit ng prohak vishe, kasi I don't like to comment directly
01:02on what the presiding officer said, ay para lang i-emphasize na ito ay para dito lang
01:11at hindi ito pwedeng gamitin sa mga susunod pa kung meron man ng mga impeachment proceedings.
01:17Thank you very much.
