Today's Exactly100: In the Spotlight

Impeached Vice President Sara Duterte has asked the Supreme Court to stop her Senate trial. Her lawyers, including her father the former president, argues that there are constitutional and procedural infirmities in her impeachment, requiring remedies from the high court.

However, there are those who argue that the questions brought before the Supreme Court fall within the prerogatives and authority of Congress, a co-equal branch. By rendering judgement on the Vice President’s complaint, the high tribunal could be breaching the confines of its constitutional mandate, a case of judicial overreach.

How the Supreme Court approaches these contending opinions bears watching. /Joey Salgado
