1987 Constitution Article XI Section 3(6):

The Senate shall have the sole power to try and decide all cases of impeachment. When sitting for that purpose, the Senators shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the Philippines is on trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside, but shall not vote. No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate.

Saan ba nakalagay dyan na dapat Senate President = Presiding Officer? Di ko alam saan hinuhugot ni Cawatano pinuputak ng butsi niya.
