INQToday: House prosecutors see false claims in Sara Duterte’s answer ad cautelam
House prosecutors have formally submitted a 37-page document to the impeachment court, refuting Vice President Sara Duterte's claims in her answer ad cautelam.
The prosecution panel stated that Duterte's pleading contained several misleading and false material statements.
Duterte had previously sought the dismissal of the impeachment complaint against her, labeling it as void ab initio.
The prosecutors argue that Duterte's legal strategy is a clear attempt to delay or dismiss the proceedings instead of addressing the charges.
This formal observation serves as the prosecution's official response to Duterte's answer ad cautelam, filed on June 23.
The reply was filed within the non-extendible five-day period stipulated by the Rules of Procedure on Impeachment Trials.
