Poa declared hostile witness in VP Duterte impeachment trial
During the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, prosecution lawyers requested the impeachment court to declare Michael Poa, former chief of staff of the Department of Education, a hostile witness. This move came as Poa's testimony began to diverge from the prosecution's narrative, potentially impacting the trial's proceedings.
