House prosecutors handling Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial are asking the Senate impeachment court to issue subpoenas for Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, focused on financial records. According to reports, the House prosecution panel requests subpoenas duces tecum directing multiple banks to produce Duterte and Carpio’s bank records and to make bank officials available to testify on the transactions.
The request includes instructions for branch managers to appear before the impeachment court and provide records linked to the vice president and her husband. The banks mentioned across reporting cover several Philippine financial institutions, including branches of BPI, Philippine Savings Bank, BDO Unibank, Metrobank, Security Bank, and Land Bank, with specific branches named in the request.
The House prosecutors are therefore seeking documentary evidence and testimony through bank compliance with court-issued subpoenas as part of the impeachment proceedings. The articles do not indicate the Senate impeachment court’s ruling on the request at this time.
