House prosecutors demand VP Sara Duterte explain missing assets ahead of impeachment hearing
The House prosecution will ask Vice President Sara Duterte, via her lawyers, to clarify cash and property not listed in her SALN when the impeachment trial resumes on Nov. 9.
At a press briefing, former congressman Robert Ace Barbers, the prosecution’s adviser, outlined five questions they intend to pose to Vice President Sara Duterte’s defense team. He also recapped evidence already submitted, covering bank accounts, insurance policies, investments, firearms, business holdings and land parcels. The prosecutors aim to resolve discrepancies in her statements of assets, liabilities and net worth before the trial continues next week.
Why it matters
The hearing could reveal undisclosed wealth of a senior elected official, influencing public trust and the impeachment outcome.
