"SHE [VP SARA] HAS A HIGHER GRADE THAN MOST OF THE LAWYERS HERE"

House prosecutor Atty. Amando Ligutan objected to Defense counsel Atty. Mark Vinluan's questions to NBI-BARMM Regional Director Atty. Jeremy Lotoc, regarding Vice President Sara Duterte's high remarks on the Bar exam, the defense member made a snide remark, saying that Duterte had a higher passing score than the lawyers in the room.

Impeachment presiding officer Senator-judge Francis "Chiz" Escudero reminded those present to be mindful of such statements, saying there were other lawyers inside the Senate chamber. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)
