Tutukan ang special coverage ng buong pwersa ng CNBC TV18 News sa pagpapatuloy ng Day 16 ng Impeachment Trial laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte ngayong Lunes, Agosto 17, 2026. The session is expected to focus on the continued examination of COA State Auditor Xylene Mae del Campo and her testimony concerning the audit and alleged use of the Vice President’s confidential funds. Follow the latest developments as the Senate impeachment court hears arguments from the prosecution and defense panels and considers issues that could shape the course of the Sara Duterte impeachment trial. The prosecution panel’s spokesman in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sarta Duterte on Sunday said that her team of lawyers is slowing down the trial by refusing to stipulate common evidence. Sara Duterte suffered a defeat at the Supreme Court (SC) filled by appointees of her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte. Via a unanimous decision on Wednesday, August 5, the High Court junked the two petitions — including the one filed by the Vice President herself — questioning her impeachment proceedings. The House prosecution panel on Friday urged Vice President Sara Duterte to directly answer the allegations against her instead of criticizing the impeachment proceedings, saying attacks on the process could undermine public confidence in the constitutional accountability mechanism. The prosecutors were responding to Duterte’s remarks in Davao City after attending the Thanksgiving Mass for the Kadayawan Festival, where she claimed the impeachment proceedings had been marked by legal irregularities. #philippinessenate #saraduterte #marcosjr ##NBI #saradutertefor2028 #saradutertetrial #saradutertecase #FerdinandMarcosJr #Senate #philippinesvicepresident #duteret #ImpeachmentTrial #Philippines #PhilippineSenate #cnbctv18live -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sara Duterte impeachment trial live, Sara Duterte impeachment trial live news, Sara Duterte impeachment live updates, Sara Duterte impeachment hearing live, Sara Duterte impeachment case, Vice President Sara Duterte impeachment, Sara Duterte trial today, Sara Duterte Senate trial, Sara Duterte impeachment proceedings, Sara Duterte impeachment court, Sara Duterte impeachment latest news, Sara Duterte breaking news, Sara Duterte live coverage, Sara Duterte Senate impeachment trial, Sara Duterte trial live stream, Sara Duterte impeachment hearing today, Sara Duterte impeachment witnesses, Sara Duterte impeachment evidence, Sara Duterte impeachment defense, Sara Duterte impeachment prosecution, Sara Duterte impeachment court updates, Sara Duterte impeachment controversy, Sara Duterte impeachment Philippines, Philippines Vice President impeachment, Sara Duterte news today, Sara Duterte legal battle, Sara Duterte Senate hearing, Sara Duterte impeachment charges, Sara Duterte confidential funds case, Sara Duterte unexplained wealth allegations, Sara Duterte corruption allegations, Sara Duterte grave threats case, Sara Duterte Marcos threat allegations, Sara Duterte impeachment vote, Sara Duterte impeachment updates, Sara Duterte trial highlights, Sara Duterte impeachment livestream, Sara Duterte impeachment latest developments, Sara Duterte national news, Philippines politics news, Ferdinand Marcos Jr and Sara Duterte, Senate impeachment court Philippines, Chiz Escudero impeachment court, Sara Duterte trial analysis, Sara Duterte witness testimony, Sara Duterte impeachment timeline, Sara Duterte legal news, Sara Duterte political crisis, Sara Duterte trial recap, Sara Duterte impeachment headlines, Sara Duterte impeachment special coverage, Sara Duterte live blog, Sara Duterte impeachment day 5, Sara Duterte impeachment trial July 2026, Philippines impeachment trial live.
