Speaking at a press briefing, Escudero cited the Supreme Court’s decision, which declared the articles of impeachment against Duterte invalid due to a constitutional violation committed by the House of Representatives. Specifically, the Court said the House breached the one-year bar rule in filing its impeachment complaint, rendering the case outside the Senate’s jurisdiction. “The Supreme Court’s ruling is final and immediately executory,” Escudero said. “Whether we like the Supreme Court’s decision or not, we might be called a banana republic (if we do not follow it).”
