Rep. Gerville Luistro —GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE
MANILA, Philippines — Both the pre-trial brief and the pre-trial conference for Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial are of key significance because they will give the prosecution and the public a peek at how her camp will counter the allegations raised against her, Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro said.
Luistro, in an online interview with reporters on Wednesday, explained that the submission of the pre-trial brief and pre-trial conference — scheduled by the Senate Impeachment Court at June 15 and 18, respectively — may be the first time that Duterte’s side will directly counter the Articles of Impeachment.
“Actually the significance really of this upcoming pre-trial conference, and even the fire of pre-trial brief, is that we are looking forward to seeing the list of evidence of the respondent Vice President,” Luistro said.
