00:00The Senate Impeachment Court terminates the pre-trial conference for Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial after five days.
00:07This paves the way for the trial proper to commence on July 6.
00:11This comes as House prosecutors and Duterte's defense team finish the marking of evidence on the last two articles of
00:17impeachment,
00:18confidential funds, and unexplained wealth against Duterte.
00:21Pre-trial conference happens before the actual trial to mark evidence and discuss witnesses and schedules for smoother proceedings.
00:28For Duterte's impeachment, both parties mark thousands of documentary evidence related to the allegations against the Vice President.
00:35The four articles of impeachment approved by the House against Duterte are
00:39questions on confidential funds usage, unexplained wealth, bribery of dep-ed officials,
00:44and grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family.
00:47Meantime, House Prosecution Spokesperson Zia Adyong says the defense fears the opening of the BIR box
00:53containing the tax records of Duterte and her husband, Man Scarpio.
00:57This comes after the prosecution asked the Senate Impeachment Court to open the box for marking as evidence during the
01:02pre-trial conference.
01:04Yung sa BIR box po na po yan, very important po yan doon sa unexplained wealth, no?
01:12From the very start na ayaw nila, it only speaks to us one thing, no?
01:17Na parang takot sila mabuksan itong box na ito.
01:21Baka ito yata yung smoking gun.
01:23In fact, hindi lang hata ito smoking gun.
01:26Para mukhang armory na itong box na ito, no?
01:32Hallelujah.
