Lawyer Benjamin Tolosa Jr. is added to the private prosecution team for Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial in the Senate and will also act as the panel’s legal spokesperson, according to Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro. Luistro made the announcement during a media briefing held on Monday alongside the Senate’s pre-trial conference.
Both reports say Tolosa is a founding and managing partner of the Tolosa Lim and Chua Law Office. He is described as an additional assisting counsel for the prosecution team and as the legal spokesperson responsible for speaking on behalf of the panel. The appointments are presented in the context of ongoing preparations for the impeachment proceedings.
No additional details about Tolosa’s specific role in presenting evidence or handling particular allegations are included in the coverage, beyond his designation as part of the prosecution team and spokesperson for the panel.
