House impeachment prosecutor Antipolo City 2nd district Rep. Romeo Acop says that he's "not satisfied" with the way the Senate impeachment court has been handled.

"Well, to tell you frankly, from my experiences, kasi siguro dito sa linyang ito ako ang pinakamatanda eh (because in the queue, I'm probably the oldest)--If you ask me, my personal opinion, hindi po ako satisfied (I am not satisfied)," Acop said in response to a reporter's question during a press conference Wednesday, June 11.

Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero serves as the presiding judge of the Senate impeachment court. Acop didn't mention Escudero by name.

The reporter's question was an offshoot from the observation that some senators refused to wear their robes when they took their oaths as senator-judges during their plenary session Tuesday, June 10.

The robes symbolize the senators' switch from one role to another--in this case, from a legislator to a judge. 

"I do not know the reason why some of the senator-judges refused to wear their robes...that's a matter of discipline within the Senate or within the impeachment court," he said.

"Bahala na po yung presiding judge na mag-disiplina sa kanila (It’s up to the presiding judge to instill discipline in them)," added the retired police brigadier general.

When Libanan asked Acop tongue-in-cheek if certain developments in Tuesday's Senate impeachment trial--like the service of summons to the Vice President Sara Duterte--satisfied him, the latter remained serious with his answer.

"Mr. lead prosecutor, the question is asked of me and my personal opinion. I stand by my personal opinion because I have my own basis," the veteran solon from Antipolo said.

Asked in the same presser if he personally believed that senator-judges were purposely delaying the Vice President's impeachment trial, Acop said yes.
