House prosecutors enter new stage of impeachment preparation as VP Sara remains in the Netherlands
The House prosecution team is intensifying preparations for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte by dividing into smaller groups focused on specific Articles of Impeachment.
Batangas 2nd District Representative Gerville Luistro confirmed this strategy, stating that each group concentrates on their assigned article.
This focused approach allows for a more in-depth preparation for each of the seven articles of impeachment against the Vice President.
The articles include conspiracy to assassinate President Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and Speaker Martin Romualdez; malversation of P612.5 million in confidential funds; bribery and corruption in the Department of Education; and unexplained wealth and failure to disclose assets.
The prosecution is also evaluating the necessity of presenting additional witnesses.
