The House prosecution is considering calling Vice President Sara Duterte as a witness during her impeachment trial, according to private prosecutor Lorna K. This development comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings against Duterte, who faces charges of misconduct.
Legal representatives from the House prosecution have not yet confirmed the details of Duterte’s potential testimony, but the move suggests a strategic shift in the trial’s approach. Meanwhile, House prosecutor Terry Ridon has denied claims that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Is exerting influence over the Senate, emphasizing that the senator-judges will base their decision solely on evidence.
Duterte had previously accused Marcos of attempting to sway the Senate’s decision, a claim Ridon has rejected. The impeachment trial continues as a key political and legal event, with public interest growing in the outcome.
The case remains under active review, with both sides preparing their arguments ahead of the next court session.
