Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial enters its second week with the Senate moving to make the proceedings more transparent and efficient as the impeachment court prepares to hear more witnesses.



Senator-judges and prosecutors are also exploring measures to prevent delays that marked the opening week of the historic proceedings.



Senate President Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian on Sunday also announced that all documents related to and presented during the impeachment trial are now accessible through a dedicated section of the Senate website, allowing the public to monitor the proceedings and review evidence firsthand.



An impeachment tab has been added to the Senate’s website, with separate sections for the prosecution, defense, court issuances and the official journal.



The Senate secretariat, acting as impeachment clerk of court, uploads pleadings, records, manifestations and documentary evidence submitted during the trial.
