Between Scylla and Charybdis

This is where Marcos Jr finds himself in the midst of the Sara Impeachment brouhaha.
What are his options?
His lawyers argue on the constitutional ramifications of impeachment until their pukes turn green. I doubt if he’s listening. His wife for a lawyer has her opinion sub rosa reeking with animosity towards her compañera Sara.
BBM-the unlawyer
BBM enrolled at the UP College of Law in 1980. In his freshman year he chose the evening class. He attended 2 or 3 semesters and forthwith, ironically, he was discharged for failure to submit undergraduate credentials. He dropped out, in other words.
His sister Imee however finished the LlB course cum laude in 1983 being the classmate of my partner Professor Victor Eleazar.
She however was denied a diploma for lack of undergraduate course yet was given a special graduation ceremony at the Malcolm Theatre attended by no less than the President of the Philippines.
Under her stint as law student, the iconic Malcolm Hall got an extension ala Manila Hotel and the UP Law Center was refurbished by transforming its library as the first online law repository surpassing the book shelves of the Supreme Court.
BBM’s 3 sems stint at the UP Law could have equipped him the rudimentary tools yin divining the meaning of ‘forthwith’ under Moreno’s Words and Phrases or Black’s Law Dictionary.
He and his sister know how to decipher the plain meaning of the now infamous legal word plus the legal memos of his Upsilon lawyers.
Yet, he takes it easy.
Chiz Escudero aka Heart Evangelista, stonewalled the senate. Being equipped with access to bank deposits thru the AMLAC, BBM’s confused on the pre-election deposit of US$10M in Chiz’ s various bank accounts including that of his newfound wife. It can be interpreted in various ways, like skinning a cat: inheritance, business ROIs, campaign fund allocation, or, dribbling an impeachment case to gain time in mustering the numbers required to acquit the VP or railroad a majority-sponsored Resolution recommending the obliteration of the Articles of Impeachment for, in the language of Secretary Remulla’s new matrix in filing a criminal case, “uncertainty of conviction.”
BBM’s Dilemma
If BBM orchestrates the Chiz removal, Sara gets another additional vote. BBM gets a glimpse of the configuration of the senate.
What if Chiz has the vote?
If the president goes nonchalance, the Bato Reso gets passed.
Chiz, like Pontius Pilate, washes his eyebrows or unremarkable scrotum, and declares the impeachment complaint pro hac vice dismissed.
The SolGen goes to the Supreme Court where it stays there until June 2028.
In the meantime, Sara takes her presidential oath in Davao City before CJ Gesmundo, an appointee of RRD.
In her inaugural address she reiterates what her father RRD declared in his in June 30, 2016: “I come to the presidency not to serve our friends nor harm our enemies!”
A familiar corpulent guy in the bleacher weeps unabashedly later identified as former fugitive Harry Roque.
