00:00The prosecution team in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte drops its plan to call her to the
00:06witness stand.
00:07The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case against Duterte after the conclusion of the examination of its last
00:13witness,
00:14financial forensic analyst Alexander Cabrera, on Monday, October 12.
00:19Prosecution legal spokesman Jay Tolosa says the bank records and statements of assets, liabilities, and net worth of Duterte already
00:26suffice.
00:26We don't see the need to get testimonial or her testimony anymore when the records, most of them, which came
00:36from her, already spoke loudly.
00:39Prosecutor Joel Chua says it will be more appropriate for the defense team to call its own client to the
00:44witness stand.
00:59The prosecution has also already dropped the bribery case in a bid to expedite the proceedings.
01:05Meantime, Duterte makes a fiery remark that the prosecution team is rushing her impeachment trial because their case is faltering.
01:12Sabi ko, bumabagsak na yung kaso nila eh. Kaya binibilisan. Kasi wala na, wala na sila masabi. Nag-iimbento. Nag
01:22-iimbento ka ng ebidensya eh.
01:24The prosecution responds to Duterte's remarks saying,
01:26At this point, malinaw, these are based on documents, official records that came from different government offices such as the
01:35AMLAC and the BIRN, private institutions such as banks, insurance companies, and the like.
