- Escudero said the rule applied to House prosecutors, the defense team, senator-judges, and Vice President Sara Duterte.
- Lead prosecutor Gerville Luistro alleged that Duterte breached the rule in a morning post defending her staff.
- Spokesperson Poa said he would relay the reminder to Duterte in a conversation and pointed to her qualified right to express herself.
- Escudero warned of court action and professional sanctions under the CPRA through the Office of the Bar Confidant.
“Because henceforth the necessary actions will be taken against her not only by the court, but also given she is a lawyer, via what the presiding officer earlier mentioned in relation to the CPRA and the Office of the Bar Confidant,”— Chiz Escudero, presiding officer of the Senate impeachment court, warned Sara Duterte of possible action over her comments on the case.
