Rep. Terry L. Ridon says the identities of people listed as supposed recipients of confidential funds will be among the key issues as the House prosecution begins presenting evidence in the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte. In statements made at a Saturday news forum in Quezon City, Ridon focused on names appearing in documentation related to the alleged misuse of P612.5 million in confidential funds from the Office of the Vice President. He pointed to “Mary Grace Piattos” and “Milky Secuya,” along with other individuals cited in the records. Ridon argued that the defense should clarify who actually received the confidential funds, particularly in the event that the listed recipients do not exist or are not verifiable. The impeachment article accuses Duterte of misusing confidential funds and committing betrayal of public trust. Both reports emphasize that the alleged recipient identities are expected to be scrutinized during the presentation of evidence by the House prosecution, with attention on whether the names correspond to real individuals and whether they can be linked to the disbursements.
