Vice President Sara Duterte is in The Hague, Netherlands, as her Senate impeachment proceedings continue. Multiple outlets report that her defense team says she is in The Hague while the impeachment trial remains active, including into its eighth day and later its third week. Her defense spokesperson Michael Poa says Duterte’s current whereabouts are in The Hague and adds that she is expected to return soon, while noting that the nature of the trip has not yet been clarified by the Office of the Vice President as of one outlet’s report.
Separately, Philstar reports that Duterte has been updated on the Senate impeachment court’s actions, including a ruling ordering the subpoena of Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, for their bank and tax records. Across the reports, the common points are Duterte’s presence in The Hague and that impeachment-related developments include efforts to secure financial and tax documentation through subpoenas.
