The House prosecution panel is set to present officials and employees of the Land Bank of the Philippines next week as it shifts to the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte over the alleged misuse of confidential funds.
House prosecutor Terry Ridon said the prosecution expects to begin presenting evidence on the confidential funds article on July 29, following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address and the minority’s response.
Ridon said the first witnesses would be LandBank personnel with direct knowledge of how the confidential funds were processed and withdrawn.
Among those subpoenaed by the Senate impeachment court are former LandBank Shaw Boulevard branch manager Violeta Constantino and former LandBank Department of Education branch manager Nenita Camposano.
The prosecution expects the two former bank officials to testify on the processing, documentation and release of the Php 612.5 million in confidential funds cited in the impeachment complaint.
The Senate impeachment court also directed Marivic Pareja, chief of the House Legislative Archives, Museum and Management Service, to produce official House records related to the impeachment proceedings.
The confidential funds article alleges that Duterte misused confidential funds while serving as Vice President and Education secretary, including irregularities in the disbursement and liquidation of the money.
The prosecution recently concluded presenting evidence on the impeachment article involving Duterte’s alleged threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez before moving to the confidential funds issue.
