The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte enters Day 3 as the Senate Impeachment Court resumes proceedings with the cross-examination of the prosecution's first witness, NBI Senior Agent John Mark Santa Calumo.
Following yesterday's presentation of authenticated videos, digital forensic evidence, and testimony regarding Article IV of the impeachment complaint, today's hearing is expected to focus on the defense's challenge to the witness's findings, the chain of custody of digital evidence, authentication procedures, video context, and the admissibility of documentary exhibits.
Yesterday's proceedings also reaffirmed that conviction requires 16 out of 24 senators, clarified procedural rules on subpoenas and witness testimony, and emphasized that opening statements are not evidence. The prosecution introduced excerpts from multiple videos allegedly related to the Article IV allegations, while the defense raised objections regarding authenticity, completeness, missing annexes, and evidentiary procedures. The Senate is expected to continue examining these issues as the trial moves into a critical stage.
