The House prosecution panel is focusing on presenting solid evidence against Vice President Sara Duterte rather than the number of votes required for a conviction, according to House prosecutor and Akbayan Party-list Representative Chel Diokno.
Diokno dismisses vote-count speculation
Diokno dismissed speculation about the required vote count in the impeachment trial, emphasizing that the prosecution's priority is to present clear and convincing evidence before the Senate impeachment court. He stressed that the vote count does not affect the team's preparations for the trial, which is set to begin on July 6.
Prosecution team busy with witnesses, documents
Instead, the prosecution is busy organizing witnesses, documents, and arguments to prove the four Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President. These charges include misuse of confidential funds, unexplained wealth, bribery, and threats against high-ranking government officials.
