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.
