Former Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang says her testimony in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is not something she is selling. During proceedings, she responds to questions from Duterte’s legal team about whether she is being promised anything in exchange for her testimony.
The exchange takes place on Day 24 of the trial as Cabotaje-Tang is questioned regarding her connections and circumstances related to people involved in the prosecution side. In the questioning, Duterte’s lawyer asks whether any arrangement or benefit is attached to her participation, prompting Cabotaje-Tang to deny that her testimony has any price tag.
Across the two accounts provided, both outlets report the same core point: Cabotaje-Tang rejects claims or suggestions that she received, or was offered, benefits for testifying. They also place the remark in the context of ongoing cross-examination before the impeachment court.
The reporting does not add details on any specific alleged offer, only that Cabotaje-Tang maintains her testimony is not for sale and addresses the issue directly when challenged in court.
