The impeachment players

Lead Prosecutor: Representative Tupas heads the House Judiciary Committee and has made himself the face of the Prosecution panel and although he may have all the necessary qualifications to lead the team he just doesn't look or sound the part.


In this televised impeachment trial where form is about as important as substance, Tupas just does not cut it sadly.

Former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas Lead Defense Counsel: Justice Cuevas is "the" lawyer you'd want to have defending you in court.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile Presiding Officer: Given Enrile's colorful past, some sectors bore initial reservations on whether the Senate President should even be allowed to adjudicate in any court.

But in the days since, Enrile has proved himself as fair-minded, even-handed, and even now at 88 years of age, a person with a first-rate legal mind.

Overall, our impeachment court TV drama doesn't seem ready for prime-time, and in reality falls far short when compared to televised proceedings of similar importance in other countries.
