House prosecutors are examining the ₱33.35 million increase in Vice President Sara Duterte’s declared net worth between 2021 and 2025. The investigation aims to determine the source of the financial growth and verify its legitimacy. Prosecution counsel Benjamin Tolosa Jr. Announced the move during a press conference at the impeachment trial. The inquiry is part of the broader legal process assessing whether Duterte should be removed from office.
The trial has focused on allegations of corruption and abuse of power, with both sides preparing arguments. The prosecution is emphasizing financial transparency, while the defense is likely to challenge the evidence. The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting ongoing political tensions in the Philippines. The outcome could set a precedent for high-level accountability in the country’s legal system.
