00:00The Senate Impeachment Court overrules the defense's objections to the documentary evidence presented by the prosecution in Vice President Sarah
00:08Duterte's impeachment trial.
00:10This move allows the admission of most of the contested records subject to certain limitations.
00:16The court overrules the continuing objection over the non-attachment of exhibits and on their acquisition through subpoenas during trial.
00:23The defense challenged the admissibility of the subpoenaed documents, saying the records were obtained through a fishing expedition.
00:31The court adds the exhibits remained subject to tests of relevance and competence, as well as applicable confidentiality and authentication
00:39requirements.
00:40Article 2, which alleges Duterte amassed unexplained wealth, is the only remaining impeachment article against her, after the prosecution withdrew
00:49the three other articles.
