Palace: Sara Duterte is not above the law

The Manila Times

Palace: Sara Duterte is not above the law  Malacañang on Thursday reiterated that no one is above the law as it questioned the defense team's opposition to allowing access to the bank and tax records of Vice President Sara Duterte during the resumption of the impeachment trial.  Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said that truth should remain at the center of the impeachment proceedings.  "No one is above the law, so it means VP Sara is not above the law. She stated that she could present documents and that she is hiding nothing—or rather, that they have nothing to fear. So, if there is nothing to fear, it is her obligation to the public to reveal the truth," Castro said during a press conference.  "It would be best for her to show that she has committed no wrongdoing and is concealing no issues regarding public funds. It is as simple as that," she added.
