The Senate impeachment court has decided to return sealed tax records belonging to Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, to the House of Representatives. Senator Panfilo Lacson announced the decision, stating the Senate cannot maintain custody of the confidential documents. The records were originally submitted as evidence by the House prosecution panel during impeachment proceedings. This move signifies the Senate is relinquishing direct control over the tax information at this stage of the process. The reason for returning the records wasn’t detailed, but it suggests a procedural step within the ongoing impeachment case. The House panel will now regain possession of the sensitive financial documents related to the Vice President and her spouse.
