MANILA, Philippines – At the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte on July 7, 2026, private prosecutor Amando Ligutan examined the prosecution witness, National Bureau of Investigation agent John Mark Calilung, over a video press conference Duterte gave on November 23, 2024.
In it, the prosecution alleges, Duterte made statements that constitute grave threats against the President and members of his family, which amount to culpable violation of the Constitution warranting the impeachment and conviction of the Vice President.
