OVP, DepEd officials may be hostile witnesses in VP Duterte trial

In the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, officials from the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education could be summoned as hostile witnesses, according to Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro. This move follows the House prosecution panel's filing of the pre-trial brief, suggesting that these officials may provide testimony unfavorable to Duterte. Such a development underscores the contentious nature of the proceedings and the potential impact on the political landscape, as it could reveal sensitive information or disagreements within the administration.
