Can a cleric channel energy in a silenced area?

[Haco]

Hi, i don't find if Channel Energy needs a verbal component and if it can used in a silenced area.
In the description of the ability only says: "A cleric must be able to present her holy symbol to use this ability"

Su ability, yes.

Yep! Until the bad guy sunders the holy symbol too! ;-)
