Manila Bulletin

'IBA ITO SA PINAKITA NILA NOONG PUMASOK SILA SA NATIONAL POLITICS'  House lead prosecutor Gerville Luistro said the Duterte family’s projected image of a modest lifestyle contrasts with Vice President Sara Duterte’s alleged spending, citing credit card transactions presented by prosecution witness Alexander Cabrera during the impeachment trial.   Among the transactions that were presented during the trial were almost P240,000 in purchases at Don Quijote stores in Japan, P299,142 spent at Nike SM Davao in a single day, P256,882.50 charged at Nike Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and a P205,007.29 restaurant bill at Ginza Inakaya in Tokyo, Japan.
