The prosecution team in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte called former Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang as its initial witness under Article II to establish the formal legal parameters concerning Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) disclosures and unexplained wealth.

Legal analyst Atty. Tiburcio “Tibs” Palasan Jr. noted that Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero allowed the expert testimony to provide a clear evidentiary foundation for both prosecution and defense arguments as formal hearings accelerate.
