The list of witnesses and evidence submitted by Vice President Sara Duterte to the Senate impeachment court did not show anything to prove Duterte’s sources of income or if there are legitimate recipients of confidential funds, the House prosecution team said. House prosecution panel spokespersons Rep. Zia Adiong of Lanao del Sur’s 1st District and Renee Co of Kabataan Party-list made the remarks in a press conference on Thursday, referring to the pre-trial brief submitted by Duterte’s camp to the Senate impeachment court. “Their pre-trial brief is voluminous, but it is less in substance. There is no substantive controverting evidence. It’s purely general denial and repetitive questioning of the process,” Adiong said. “But what the public wants to know is, how did she utilize the confidential funds? What is the explanation on cash and properties not reflected in her SALN (Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth)? What about the explanation about officials of the Department of Education (DepEd) who received bribes during her tenure as Education chief? These are the questions that I think not only the court deserves to know, but even the general public. But nothing of these is in the pre-trial brief,” he added.
