For a group of congressmen who were so geared for an immediate plenary vote to impeach Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, as they claimed they had 150 votes to send their Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial, it was pretty odd for them to all too suddenly be agreeable to having the plenary vote Monday next week, and at a time reserved for privilege speeches, and only with a few more session days prior to their congressional recess.
Is it possible that House justice panel chairman Rep. Niel Tupas Jr. and his pro-impeachment group have not as yet clinched the numbers to get Merci impeached by the House?
