MANILA – A Metrobank representative on Wednesday testified that three active bank accounts at the bank’s Davao-Ecoland branch are linked to Vice President Sara Duterte, her husband Atty. Mans Carpio, and one of their children, as the Senate impeachment court continued hearing evidence on Day 35 of the trial.
Atty. Niña Feren Aguilar, head of Metrobank’s Anti-Money Laundering Division, was among the bank officials scheduled to testify on the impeachment case involving the Vice President.
According to the figures presented in court, one joint account under Duterte and Carpio, ending in 387-6, had year-end balances of P2.278 million in 2022, P2.436 million in 2023, P330,000 in 2024, and P55,200 in 2025.
Another account under Duterte, ending in 2445, showed balances of about P85,500 in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and P85,600 in 2025.
A third account linked to one of the couple’s children showed balances of about P1.184 million in 2022, P1.330 million in 2023, P1.458 million in 2024, and P1.459 million in 2025.
The defense did not conduct a cross-examination of the Metrobank witness but objected to the presentation of totals that combined balances from different years.
Presiding Officer Francis “Chiz” Escudero had earlier cautioned against adding year-end balances across separate years, saying doing so would not accurately depict a witness’ testimony because the figures represented different reporting periods.
The testimony is part of the prosecution’s presentation of financial records in connection with Article II of the impeachment case, which alleges unexplained wealth.
