“I am confident of  acquittal because we are seeing our non-allies changing their stand…  numbers are growing as far as our side is concerned,” Reelected Sen. Ronald dela Rosa has expressed confidence that  emerging Duterte bloc in  Senate will get more than enough votes to acquit Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio in her upcoming impeachment trial.

Dela Rosa said they already have more than nine senators on their side, based on  emerging composition of  incoming 20th Congress.

Dela Rosa refused to name  senators  planning to vote to acquit Duterte even before evidence is presented by  House of Representatives prosecution panel before  Senate impeachment court, set to convene on June 3.

Full-blown trial is expected when  20th Congress opens in July.

“I don’t want to name them and then make them change their stance depending on course of  impeachment trial, but as of now, I am confident we have more than nine votes,”Dela Rosa said.

Vice President Duterte was impeached by House for her alleged misuse of confidential funds and for her livestreamed remarks about  assassin she had contracted to kill President Marcos, First Lady Liza Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Incoming senators won  Senate race are preparing to sit as part of  impeachment court once  20th Congress starts.

“I’m quite prepared,” senator-elect Tito Sotto said by text message.

Sotto, former Senate president, vouched for his knowledge of impeachment rules, having sat through trials of the late chief justice Renato Corona and deposed former president Joseph Estrada.

“It’s my fifth round and my third for  impeachment court…nothing can best prepare you than experience,” Sotto said.

First-time senator-elect Erwin Tulfo has been brushing up on  rules and history of impeachment, “but at the end of the day, my decision will be based on  pieces of evidence submitted by  prosecution and  defense and affidavits of both sides.”

“Remember, the second highest official of the land will be tried, and that is no small matter,” Tulfo said.

Tulfo did not sign  impeachment complaint against Duterte when he was  House member, citing conflict of interest in case he succeeded in his Senate bid.
