MANILA: Senate President Francis Escudero said fellow senators agreed in a caucus on Tuesday (July 29) to decide on the Supreme Court’s ruling — which voided the impeachment articles against Vice President Sara Duterte — next week.

Escudero says the chamber has agreed to schedule the discussions on August 6 to give “ample and sufficient time to the members to study the 97-paged Supreme Court decision excluding the concurring and separate opinions filed by five or six additional magistrates of the Supreme Court.”
