The defense team of Vice President Sara Duterte has requested that the impeachment court issue subpoenas to four individuals to appear as its next witnesses when the trial resumes on November 19 and 20, House prosecution panel member Joel Chua said.

The Manila lawmaker did not provide further details.

The defense panel earlier informed the impeachment court that it has eight to 10 witnesses remaining for the trial.

It remains unclear whether the defense panel will add more witnesses in the coming days.

Under the rules of the impeachment court, the defense and prosecution panels are directed to submit witnesses at least five days before the trial if those names are not in the pre-trial order.
