🔴LIVE Philippines Senate Hearing: Impeachment Trial of Vice President Sara Duterte | July 15, 2026
MANILA, Philippines – Zuleika Lopez, one of Vice President Sara Duterte’s closest aides, is expected to be called by the prosecution to take the stands for an article of impeachment detailing the alleged grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family. Lopez was issued a subpoena compelling her to appear before the court on July 14 and 15 to provide “material testimony” in relation to the case. During yesterday’s hearing, Lotoc said NBI found that Duterte committed the crime of grave threats and inciting to sedition. However, he bared that the NBI found no validated information to pursue the identity of the hitman allegedly contracted by Duterte to kill Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former Speaker Martin Romualdez if something happened to her. The vice president’s top aide is among three witnesses the prosecution intends to call in the second week of the trial to support Article IV, the grave-threats charge alleging that Duterte hired a hitman to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Pinuna ng prosekyusyon ang sinabi ng depensa ni Vice President Sara Duterte na mas mataas daw ang gradong nakuha ng bise presidente sa bar exams kaysa sa karamihan ng abogado sa loob ng korte nitong Martes sa impeachment trial ng pangalawang pangulo. Sinundan naman ito ni Senate impeachment court presiding officer Chiz Escudero ng paalala ukol sa sinabi nito dahil maraming abogado sa loob ng nasabing korte na hindi nila alam ang nakuhang grado.
