THE House of Representatives prosecution panel has agreed to revise the sequence of witness presentations in Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio’s impeachment trial, Senate impeachment court spokesman Reginald Tongol said on Tuesday. Under the proposed arrangement, prosecutors and the defense will alternately present evidence on each impeachment article before proceeding to the next. Mr. Tongol said the defense has yet to submit its formal response, while presiding judge Senator Francis Joseph “Chiz” G. Escudero is expected to rule on the proposal on or before July 29. If approved, Wednesday’s scheduled presentation on the first impeachment article may be canceled. — Kaela Patricia B. Gabriel
