The camp of Vice President Sara Duterte is expected to formally submit its response Monday to the impeachment case filed against her.
In an advisory, Senate Secretary Jose Luis Montales said the Vice President may file her answer to the Articles of Impeachment from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. personally, through counsel, or via electronic mail.
“The answer will be received and processed and shall be restricted to authorized officials of the Impeachment Court and members of the Vice President’s legal team,” the advisory said.
Duterte’s camp earlier assured the public it would meet the filing deadline.
Senate President Allan Peter Cayetano said the Articles of Impeachment were formally served on Duterte on May 20 after the Senate convened as an impeachment court and issued a summons.
The impeachment trial is scheduled to begin on 6 July.
