MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives’ prosecution team will not file a reply to Vice President Sara Duterte’s answer to the Articles of Impeachment against her, as they will just make a manifestation, lead prosecutor and Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro said.
Luistro, in an online interview with reporters on Thursday, said that they may file the manifestation on Thursday or Friday — or even Monday, which is their deadline — depending on the circumstances surrounding the Senate.
Regardless of any developments, Luistro said that their manifestation has been prepared already, and they are just waiting for all members of the prosecution team to sign it.
“It has been prepared already, so the House prosecutors will just sign. And then after that, we will be filing this with the impeachment court. And no, we’ll be filing it with the impeachment court and furnish copy of the same to the respondent Vice President,” the lawmaker said.
