The Senate released a schedule for the remaining months of 2026, detailing the timeline for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte and the 2027 national budget. The impeachment trial resumes on November 9 and continues on specific dates, with full-day sessions scheduled for November 10, 12, 13, 19, and 20. Senate impeachment Trial Presiding Officer Francis Escudero noted that the court will lose eight trial days in November due to scheduling constraints, including budget hearings and the ASEAN summit. The Senate plenary will hold interpellations on the proposed 2027 national budget from November 23 to December 1, with second and third readings scheduled for December 3 and 7, respectively. Bicameral conference committee deliberations are set for December 10 to 12, with the final report expected to be signed and ratified by December 22.
