House prosecutors confident VP Duterte will be convicted
House prosecutors expressed confidence in securing a conviction against Vice President Sara Duterte in her upcoming impeachment trial, citing "glaring evidence" against her.
Prosecutor Joel Chua stated that senators must provide a thorough explanation if they vote to acquit Duterte, given the "overwhelming" evidence the House intends to present.
The evidence will reportedly include allegations of fake recipients for confidential funds from the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education.
A controversial video clip allegedly showing Duterte arranging the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez in the event of her own death will also be presented.
