MANILA— The House prosecution team said it was satisfied with its presentation of evidence under Article II of Vice President Sara Z. Duterte’s impeachment case, which covers allegations of unexplained wealth and failure to fully disclose assets.

Akbayan Rep. Chel Diokno, one of the House prosecutors, said the team had accomplished its objectives after forensic accounting expert Alexander Cabrera concluded his testimony before the Senate impeachment court.

“We have finished with the presentation of our Article II, and from our perspective, I am very happy that we have done the job that we set out to do,” Diokno said during a post-trial press briefing.

Cabrera, the prosecution’s final witness in the impeachment case, presented a report identifying PHP817.87 million in alleged unexplained wealth involving Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases “Mans” Carpio, from 2022 to 2025.

During Monday’s proceedings, the forensic accounting expert said the amount could reach PHP1.5 billion under less conservative assumptions, without double-counting the same amounts.

The prosecution had previously presented bank executives, insurance company representatives and government officials to support its allegations involving the vice president’s financial transactions, assets and business interests.

Diokno said the Senate impeachment court is expected to clarify the remaining procedural matters on Tuesday, including the steps leading to the prosecution’s formal resting of its case.

“It will all be clear, I believe, tomorrow, when all the administrative matters are taken up,” he said.

He noted that questions concerning other impeachment articles remained unresolved, including whether Duterte would be called to testify.

Diokno explained that after the prosecution formally rests its case, the next steps would ordinarily involve the formal offer of evidence, the defense’s response and the court’s ruling.

“So malalaman siguro natin ’yan bukas kung paano na ’yung takbo ng mga susunod na hearing,” he added.

The prosecution has also informed the court of its intention to withdraw Article III, which concerns bribery, to avoid unnecessarily prolonging the proceedings.

Diokno said there had been no indication that the announced hearing schedule would change. Proceedings are set to continue until Thursday, October 15, before the court takes a break until November 9.

The court is expected to take up the prosecution’s final manifestations and other procedural matters on Tuesday.
