Statement of Rep. Paolo Duterte (July 20, 2026)
Nalingaw gyud ko sa House Prosecution Panel.
Karon pa man mo nagsige'g pangayo og subpoena sa mga dokumento nga kaniadto kamo ra man mismo ang nagkupot. Apil pa gyud ang income tax returns nga inyong gi-submit na sa Senado ug unya giuli ra usab sa BIR.
So unsa man gyud? Nawala? Nahikalimtan? O karon pa ninyo na-realize nga kinahanglan diay na?
Abi nako pag giaprubahan ninyo ang Articles of Impeachment, kumpleto na ang inyong ebidensya. Mao man unta na ang pasabot sa form and substance. Dili kay "approve sa ta, unya mangita lang ta'g supporting documents human."

Pulong Duterte on VP Sara's impeach trial: Truth must prevail
The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte should bring out the truth, her brother, Davao City Representative Paolo Duterte, said Monday.
“Like many Filipinos, I hope the proceedings will be conducted fairly, professionally, and without unnecessary distractions. More importantly, I hope this process finally allows the truth to emerge from the mountain of accusations, speculation, political narratives, and noise that have surrounded this issue for months,” Rep. Duterte said.
“The Filipino people deserve facts, not rumors. Evidence, not innuendo. Truth, not propaganda. The Vice President Sara Duterte has made it clear that she is prepared to face the charges against her. We are confident that she will be given the opportunity to answer every allegation in the proper forum and under the proper process,” he added.
