Liceo de Cagayan University College of Law professor Atty. Samson So Tan noted that public skepticism surrounding Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial stems from the administration-aligned majority in the Senate.

To preserve legal neutrality, Tan refrained from commenting on the four amicus curiae experts invited by the Senate, advising the public to evaluate their positions based on their upcoming official legal opinions.
