Prosecutors’ goal: VP’s conviction regardless of vote limit

In the ongoing impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, the private prosecution team aims to secure a conviction with compelling evidence, irrespective of interpretations of the constitutional vote threshold, according to lawyer Benjamin Tolosa Jr. This strategy underscores their commitment to achieving a conviction despite potential legal complexities. The stakes are high as Duterte's conviction could have significant political ramifications, impacting not just her but also the broader political landscape in the Philippines. The trial highlights the tension between legal technicalities and political accountability.
