MANILA — The Senate impeachment court resumes the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday, with House prosecutors set to present financial and corporate records in support of their allegation that she accumulated unexplained wealth.

The presentation shifts the trial to Article II of the impeachment complaint, which questions whether Duterte’s declared assets and lawful income are consistent with her financial transactions, properties and business interests.

Among the evidence expected is an Anti-Money Laundering Council report involving bank accounts linked to Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio.

House prosecutor Terry Ridon said the report contains around ₱6.7 billion in aggregate transactions and about ₱4.4 billion in inflows involving the couple over several years.

The figures, however, represent aggregated financial transactions and do not by themselves establish that the money was illegally obtained or constitutes unexplained wealth. Prosecutors are expected to compare the records with Duterte’s declared income, assets and liabilities as they seek to prove their allegations.

The Senate impeachment court previously granted subpoenas for bank, tax and AMLC records after finding the requested documents relevant to Article II of the case.

Prosecutors are also expected to present Securities and Exchange Commission records covering business interests connected to Duterte and Carpio.

House prosecution adviser Robert Ace Barbers said corporate records would be examined to determine whether income from businesses was properly reflected in Duterte’s Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth or SALNs.

Property acquisitions are also expected to be compared with the Vice President’s declared income and financial resources.

Duterte has denied wrongdoing and has repeatedly questioned the basis and conduct of the impeachment proceedings.

Meanwhile, the Senate impeachment court is separately considering how many votes should be required to convict Duterte if some senator-judges are unable to participate.

Presiding officer Francis Escudero earlier ruled that 16 votes, or two-thirds of the full 24-member Senate, are required for conviction. The court has sought the views of former Supreme Court justices and constitutional experts as some senator-judges push for clarification of the rule.

The House prosecution has said it continues to recognize the 16-vote threshold unless the impeachment court changes the ruling.
