Commission on Audit–Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office (COA-ICFAO) auditor Xylene Del Campo testified as the prosecution continued its case against Vice President Sara Duterte during her impeachment trial in Manila, Philippines. Del Campo provided testimony under Article 1 of the impeachment charges, which allege misuse of confidential funds. The trial, ongoing in the Senate, has seen the prosecution present multiple witnesses to support its claims against Duterte. Del Campo’s testimony is part of the broader effort to establish evidence of financial misconduct linked to the vice president.
The trial has drawn significant public attention, with lawmakers and media closely following the proceedings. The prosecution’s strategy involves presenting a range of testimonies and documents to substantiate allegations of financial impropriety. Del Campo’s role as a COA-ICFAO auditor adds credibility to the prosecution’s case, as the office is responsible for auditing confidential funds. The Senate will deliberate on whether the evidence meets the threshold for impeachment.
The trial remains a focal point of political discourse in the Philippines, with implications for Duterte’s political future. As the proceedings continue, the Senate’s decision will determine the next steps in the impeachment process. The testimony of Del Campo and other witnesses will be crucial in shaping the outcome of the case.
