The House committee on justice will examine the reliability of Ramil Madriaga, who offered to testify in the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte, Bicol Saro Representative Terry Ridon said.
Ridon noted on Sunday that doubts about Madriaga’s credibility have mostly come from Duterte allies and her legal team.
He said the committee will assess Madriaga’s sworn affidavit to determine whether he can serve as a witness in the proceedings.
Ridon stressed that the impeachment complaint remains valid even if Madriaga does not participate in the hearings.
He pointed out that allegations of misuse of confidential funds and threats against the President persist regardless of Madriaga’s involvement.
The lawmaker said supporting documents could independently substantiate the claims against the Vice President.
Ridon cited tax records, corporate documents, and financial statements from Duterte-Carpio and affiliated companies as sources to track unexplained wealth.
The House panel has issued subpoenas to several government agencies to obtain the Vice President’s financial records and statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth as part of the ongoing investigation.
