September 16, 2026

The Chair said the September 16 consultation would proceed under this advisory. The advisory framed the amici-curiae presentations and the five-minute cumulative questioning period for each senator-judge; it was referenced as the governing procedure, not read into the record as a separate document.

Davide submitted this written memorandum because he could not attend in person. Copies were distributed to the parties and senator-judges and posted on the Impeachment Court website; the Clerk read a synopsis for the record. This is the only written submission in this list that the session expressly had read in synopsis.

Panganiban was recognized to give an oral amici-curiae presentation. His separately archived brief is available with the other written submissions, but the session record does not state that the brief itself was read or formally presented as a document.

Azcuna was recognized to give an oral amici-curiae presentation. His separately archived brief is available with the other written submissions, but the session record does not state that the brief itself was read or formally presented as a document.

The Chair recorded receipt of Aquino's voluntary position paper or memorandum of law, furnished it to the parties and senator-judges, and uploaded it to the Senate website. The record distinguishes Aquino's submission from an amicus-curiae appointment.

The Chair expressly named the September 15, 2026 Journal while dispensing with its reading and approving it at the September 16 sitting.
