Senator Panfilo Lacson has formally requested that Senator Robin Padilla provide further details regarding his recent assertion that there was a "disregard for law" during the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio. Lacson expressed concern that such a statement could be interpreted as an attack on the credibility of the impeachment tribunal, especially given that Padilla serves as a member of the body. Lacson emphasized that if the criticism was aimed at specific colleagues, Padilla should explicitly name the individuals involved rather than casting doubt on the entire court. The inquiry highlights tensions within the legislative body as they navigate the impeachment process, with Lacson seeking to ensure that the integrity of the proceedings remains protected from broad or ambiguous accusations.
