Lawyer Michael Poa, spokesperson for Vice President Sara Duterte’s defense team, holds press briefings ahead of the Senate’s impeachment proceedings against Duterte. According to reports, Poa briefs media on July 8 in advance of Day 3 of the trial, which is scheduled to continue at the Senate. The same outlets also report that Poa held a similar presser shortly after the impeachment court concluded Day 2 of the proceedings. The coverage indicates that the defense’s press statements run in parallel with the day-to-day schedule of the trial in the Senate. While the articles focus on Poa’s public briefings, they do not, in the provided excerpts, detail the specific arguments presented during the trial days. The reporting is centered on the defense team’s role in informing the public through scheduled media updates as the impeachment case progresses from Day 2 to Day 3. The trial remains ongoing, with the defense continuing to provide briefings as each scheduled day of hearings concludes and the next begins.
