28 congressmen skipped vote on Sara Duterte impeachment

Only 290 out of 318 House members cast a vote on the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.

Twenty-eight others are either absent during today’s plenary session, or present but did not participate in the voting at all — not even registering a vote to abstain.

Skipping politically divisive votes is a familiar congressional tactic. By avoiding a recorded position, lawmakers can avoid potential backlash from constituents or political allies on either side of the issue. | via @Dwight de Leon - Rappler

The warrant shown by Trillanes is dated November 6, 20225.
