LUISTRO: I AM MORE INCLINED NOT TO PRESENT LACHICA AND NOLASCO WATCH: Lead prosecutor Jinky Luistro says personally, she is more "inclined" to drop two military officials as witnesses in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. In the post-trial briefing, Luistro acknowledged that some members of the prosecution are in favor of presenting Col. Raymund Lachica, former chief security officer of Duterte, and Col. Dennis Nolasco, former special disbursing officer of the vice president for confidential funds, in the proceedings. She noted that, eventually, the prosecution would need to come up with one decision. Lachica's name has been mentioned a number of times as the implementer of activities where confidential funds were spent. | Lance Mejico

‘YOU CANNOT SAY I WILL NOT TAKE THE STAND AT ALL DAHIL MAY RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION AKO’ WATCH: Prosecution members Jay Tolosa and Keith Flores say invoking the right against self-incrimination applies to criminal cases, responding to Vice President Sara Duterte’s lawyer, who said at the impeachment trial that the Constitution prohibits testimonial compulsion from the accused herself. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the prosecution floated the possibility of asking the court to summon Duterte as its witness after the presentation of all Articles of Impeachment. Speaking at a post-trial briefing, Tolosa and Flores both explained that invoking the right against self-incrimination is on a per-question basis and does not necessarily mean the witness cannot take the stand. | Lance Mejico

ZULEIKA LOPEZ ‘MAS MAGIGISA’ IF DECLARED A HOSTILE WITNESS WATCH: If Vice President Sara Duterte’s chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, is declared a hostile witness, the prosecution may ask her leading questions, House prosecutor Leila de Lima says. “Mas magigisa,” De Lima tells NewsWatch Plus. De Lima adds that, given Lopez’s close relationship with the vice president, “you can expect that she will be hostile, she will not be cooperative, she will not be espousing the cause of the prosecution but rather the cause of the defense." “Pero may proseso. Kailangan talagang i-establish muna kung bakit siya hostile,” De Lima says. The Impeachment Court has subpoenaed Lopez to appear at next week’s trial. | Eimor Santos

'SHE DEMANDS THAT EVERYONE LISTEN TO HER' — TENSION FLARES BETWEEN TOLOSA, SISON Tensions flared between prosecution counsel Benjamin “Jay” Tolosa Jr. and lead defense counsel Sheila Sison during the questioning of hostile witness Michael Poa. Tolosa hit back after Sison objected to his line of questioning, saying, “Your Honor, every time the defense counsel speaks, she demands that everyone listen to her.” Sison maintained that Tolosa’s question was “misleading,” arguing that it did not reflect Poa’s actual answer regarding whether rewards to informants required an immediate successful operation. As the two counsels continued to speak over each other, Presiding Officer Senator-Judge Chiz Escudero intervened, saying: “Counsels, I cannot understand anymore the points you are raising.” Escudero then allowed Poa to complete his answer and directed the counsels to clarify their points as the prosecution pressed the witness on the interpretation of the requirements for confidential-fund expenditures. Poa reiterated that he was answering based on his interpretation and that he had no personal knowledge of the actual DepEd operations. The exchange comes as the prosecution continues its examination of Poa, who was earlier declared a hostile witness. #ImpeachmentWatch #VPSaraOnTrial #BNCImpeachmentCoverage WATCH LIVE HERE:
