FACT CHECK: VP Sara impeachment ongoing, not 'dismissed' over Landbank testimony

As Vice President Sara Duterte’s trial is ongoing, no verdict of conviction or acquittal has been issued by the Senate impeachment court

Claim: The testimony of Violeta Constantino, former manager of Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank), proved that the Office of the Vice President (OVP)’s withdrawal of confidential funds was not illegal, clearing Vice President Sara Duterte and getting her impeachment case dismissed.

Rating: FALSE

Why we fact-checked this: A YouTube video uploaded by channel “PINAS NEWS INSIDER” was titled “Big good news! Umamin na Landbank manager kay Cayetano; cleared si VP Sara! Lahat natameme sa hearing!”

(Big good news! Landbank manager admitted to Cayetano, VP Sara is cleared! Everyone was left speechless at the hearing!)
