Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan has stated that the Senate impeachment court has not yet scheduled a date for a verdict in the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. This contradicts a previous announcement made by Reginald Tongol, the court’s spokesperson, who suggested the proceedings might conclude on December 16. Pangilinan’s statement clarifies that no such date has been officially determined by the court itself. The discrepancy has raised questions regarding communication and coordination within the impeachment court regarding the timeline of the Vice President’s case. Further updates on the verdict date are anticipated as the Senate continues its deliberations. The impeachment trial is ongoing in the Senate of the Philippines. The conflicting reports highlight a possible miscommunication regarding the expected end date of the proceedings.
