Senate Electoral Tribunal

As senator, Miriam became an ally of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, a former movie actor. He was impeached by the House of Representatives, and tried by the Senate as an impeachment court. Miriam was the only one of 24 senators who had served in the judiciary. As a former trial judge, she insisted that Estrada should be granted due process of law. Instead, the impeachment trial was never concluded and Estrada, like Marcos, was overthrown by another People Power revolution which installed President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, an economist.

Chronic fatigue syndrome[edit | edit source]

Miriam Defensor-Santiago was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in 2008, forcing her to take a leave of absence from the Senate. She complained of dizziness, nausea, and an irregular heartbeat prior to being diagnosed with CFS.^[2]

Vitamin D[edit | edit source]

Medical tests in summer 2013 then revealed that Santiago had very low vitamin D levels - something which should be ruled out prior to a chronic fatigue syndrome diagnosis,^[3] although it is not clear if her vitamin D levels were within the normal range when she was first diagnosed. She was advised to "get lots of sun" and expected to take a"megadose" of vitamin D to improve her vitamin D level.^[4]

In 2014, after three years as a judge at the International Criminal Court, Santiago resigned her post because of a relapse of chronic fatigue syndrome. During her resignation st
