Atty. Jojo Lacanilao maintained that the prosecution’s decision to drop three impeachment articles against Vice President Sara Duterte does not constitute a due process violation or a constitutional issue.
Lacanilao described the move as a standard trial management strategy to save judicial time and streamline arguments around core counts.
He added that prosecution managers maintain high confidence in Article 2, relying on AMLC banking disclosures regarding undeclared assets, and noted that observers now await the formal financial counter-evidence from defense counsel.
