In a statement made on Thursday, Lanao del Sur 1st District Representative Zia Alonto Adiong, who serves as a spokesperson for the House of Representatives’ prosecution panel, affirmed their commitment to presenting evidence in the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte. Adiong highlighted that the public seeks truth over political theatrics, emphasizing that their role is to conduct the proceedings professionally and in accordance with the law. The Senate impeachment court is expected to formally begin the trial in early July 2023, although no official schedule has been released yet. Adiong reassured that the 11-member prosecution team is fully prepared to proceed as determined by the court. He also clarified that the impeachment trial should not be viewed as a regional conflict, noting that many members of the prosecution team are from Mindanao, traditionally a stronghold for the Duterte family. The articles of impeachment include serious allegations, such as the misuse of ₱500 million in confidential funds and claims of unexplained wealth. Adiong's statements reflect a broader sentiment among the public for a fair and evidence-based trial, free from political distractions.
