ANG HULING SAYAW NI VP SARA SA SENADO. CONSTITUTIONAL FINALITY OF IMPEACHMENT. #attybuenoexplains

The core issue centers on the absolute finality of a Senate conviction in an impeachment trial. Under Article XI of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the Senate serves as the exclusive, sovereign political court for high-ranking officials like the Vice President. ​Because it is a political judgment rendered by the representatives of the people rather than a traditional judicial trial, there is no higher court of appeals—making a conviction functionally permanent and equivalent to a digital "Shift + Delete" from public office.
