Several individuals staged a protest outside the Senate in Pasay City as the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte continued on Tuesday.

The protesters called for Duterte’s removal from office and urged the Vice President to explain the allegations raised against her, video taken by Mao dela Cruz of Super Radyo dzBB showed.

Police were also seen in the area.

The Senate impeachment court scheduled the cross-examination of witnesses and submission of evidence regarding Duterte's alleged corporate connections and undisclosed assets on Tuesday.

It is currently hearing Article 2 of the Articles of Impeachment, which charges the vice president with acquiring unexplained assets.

The vice president's brother, Davao City Baste Duterte, took the witness stand on Tuesday.

The allegations center on inaccurate and incomplete disclosures in her and her spouse’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs) from 2022 through 2024, alongside a deliberate failure to divest from her ongoing business operations between 2022 and 2025. —Joviland Rita/KG, GMA News
