Follow the latest developments as the Senate impeachment court hears arguments from the prosecution and defense panels and considers issues that could shape the course of the Sara Duterte impeachment trial. The prosecution panel’s spokesman in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sarta Duterte on Sunday said that her team of lawyers is slowing down the trial by refusing to stipulate common evidence. Sara Duterte suffered a defeat at the Supreme Court (SC) filled by appointees of her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte. Via a unanimous decision on Wednesday, August 5, the High Court junked the two petitions — including the one filed by the Vice President herself — questioning her impeachment proceedings. The House prosecution panel on Friday urged Vice President Sara Duterte to directly answer the allegations against her instead of criticizing the impeachment proceedings, saying attacks on the process could undermine public confidence in the constitutional accountability mechanism. The prosecutors were responding to Duterte’s remarks in Davao City after attending the Thanksgiving Mass for the Kadayawan Festival, where she claimed the impeachment proceedings had been marked by legal irregularities. #philippinessenate #saraduterte #marcosjr ##NBI #saradutertefor2028 #saradutertetrial #saradutertecase #FerdinandMarcosJr #Senate #philippinesvicepresident #duteret #ImpeachmentTrial #Philippines #PhilippineSenate #cnbctv18live -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sara Duterte impeachment trial live, Sara Duterte impeachment trial live news, Sara Duterte impeachment live updates, Sara Duterte impeachment hearing live, Sara Duterte impeachment case, Vice President Sara Duterte impeachment, Sara Duterte trial today, Sara Duterte Senate trial, Sara Duterte impeachment proceedings, Sara Duterte impeachment court, Sara Duterte impeachment latest news, Sara Duterte breaking news, Sara Duterte live coverage, Sara Duterte Senate impeachment trial, Sara Duterte trial live stream, Sara Duterte impeachment hearing today, Sara Duterte impeachment witnesses, Sara Duterte impeachment evidence, Sara Duterte impeachment defense, Sara Duterte impeachment prosecution, Sara Duterte impeachment court updates, Sara Duterte impeachment controversy, Sara Duterte impeachment Philippines, Philippines Vice President impeachment, Sara Duterte news today, Sara Duterte legal battle, Sara Duterte Senate hearing, Sara Duterte impeachment charges, Sara Duterte confidential funds case, Sara Duterte unexplained wealth allegations, Sara Duterte corruption allegations, Sara Duterte grave threats case, Sara Duterte Marcos threat allegations
