Sen Miriam Defensor Santiago, known for her quotable remarks, was absent in the first day of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona due to hypertension.
In a letter addressed to Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, the presiding officer of the impeachment court, Santiago said she will be absent from the Senate starting Jan. 16.
“I am suffering from hypertension, for which I have been under medical supervision for over a week now. I am unable to discharge my duties because of attendant dizziness, headache and nausea,” she said.
The senator added that she will resume her duties as soon as her hypertension subsides./MP
