De Lima joins House Prosecution Panel for Duterte's impeachment

Leila de Lima expressed confidence in the House Prosecution Panel's ability to secure a conviction during Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.

De Lima cited strong evidence against the vice president and emphasized her belief in the prosecution team's merit, stating that clear presentation of evidence will influence public perception and hold senators accountable.

Yesterday, De Lima accepted an offer from House Speaker Martin Romualdez to join the House Prosecution Panel after consulting with colleagues and legal advisors.

De Lima stressed that her involvement is driven by upholding constitutional principles rather than personal vendetta or vindictiveness.

Akbayan Partylist nominee Chel Diokno also accepted an offer to serve in the House prosecution panel, emphasizing the need for strong evidence and proper presentation.
