Duterte’s team: Our number is enough; it’s prosecutors who leave early

In the ongoing impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, her defense team has claimed they have sufficient personnel to handle evidence marking during the pretrial conference. This statement counters claims from the prosecution panel, which reportedly faces a shortage of staff. The situation underscores the tension between the prosecution and defense teams as the trial proceeds, highlighting the broader implications for judicial processes and political dynamics in the Philippines. The manpower issue could affect the trial's efficiency and public perception of the legal proceedings.
