The House prosecution panel on Monday said it is prepared to proceed with Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial regardless of whether she personally appears before the Senate impeachment court.
Former House lawmaker and prosecution panel adviser Robert Ace Barbers said the prosecution's presentation of witnesses and evidence would remain the same even if Duterte decides to attend the proceedings.
New faces expected to appear as the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte continues on Monday, July 13.
Senate Secretary General Renato Bantug Jr. said National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Bangsamoro regional director Jeremy Lotoc will testify for the first time as one of the prosecution’s witness.
He is expected to testify on Impeachment Article IV, which details the alleged grave threat and assassination plot against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Bantug said he has no information on whether NBI Director Melvin Matibag will be able to take the stand.
