The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte resumed in the Philippine Senate on Wednesday, July 15th. However, no witnesses were presented on the sixth day of proceedings. Instead, both the prosecution and defense teams are now concentrating on a central legal debate concerning access to Duterte’s bank and tax documents. This shift suggests the parties have completed their initial witness presentations. The core of the dispute centers around the legality of obtaining and presenting these financial records during the trial. This development indicates a pivotal stage in the impeachment process, as the legal arguments will heavily influence the outcome. Further proceedings will likely revolve around this crucial issue.
