During the first day of the trial, newly elected impeachment court presiding officer Sen. Francis "Chiz" Escudero ordered the issuance of subpoenas for two National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) officials to appear in the proceedings.
These NBI agents, Jeremy Lotoc and John Mark Calilung, were among the first witnesses lined up for presentation from July 6 to July 8, as indicated on the prosecution panel's manifestation dated July 3.
They are expected to testify on an impeachment article detailing the alleged grave threat and assassination plot against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former Speaker Martin Romualdez.
These allegations under Article IV of the Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President are expected to be tackled beginning Tuesday, July 7.
