So happy to see (after a long time) my former boss, forever idol, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, @mariaressa ❤️
Nasaan ang reaksyon ni Panelo o ng defense?
Kung “fake news” daw noon ang BPI Julia Vargas claims ni @TrillanesSonny, ngayon pa ba uurong ang media sa pagtatanong?
Harapin ang records. Singilin sa sagot. Huwag hayaang malunod sa ingay ang ebidensya.

Next week daw may pasabog ang prosecution. Exciting!
Napaka-sutil lang kausap ni Sec. Llamas hahahaha! Kung kausapin ‘yung hosts ng #StoryCon, pabalang na namimilosopo. 😅

₱8M in investments in just 1½ months.
₱3M Jollibee shares + ₱5M ArthaLand IPO shares, according to BDO Securities witness Janet Amora.
Mans Carpio, VP Sara Duterte’s husband, also bought ₱5.5M in bonds in 2022.

Sen. Win Gatchalian asked if the ₱10.6M insurance premium is an asset.
Roman: Yes. A financial product is personal property and can therefore be an asset.
The takeaway: It may count as a declared asset na pwede ibangga sa declared SALN

Sapul ni Sen. Risa 👀
2022: ₱22.8M BDO balances vs ₱13.325M SALN-declared other personal properties.
2023: ₱32.16M vs ₱14.725M—more than double.
Plus two checks: ₱11.35M at ₱9.6M, for follow-up.

“VP is not aware / no recollection” na naman ang palusot? 👀
So kung may tinatawag ang prosecution na “Abogadong Walang Alam,” si Baste ang “Mayor na Walang Alam.”
Si Sara naman ngayon ang “VP na Walang Alam.” 😅
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
“Alam ko lang po ’yung sayaw na Tinikling.”
Sen. Tito Sotto asked BPI about the finance term “tinikling”manager’s checks issued, unused, then returned after year-end.
BPI: Hindi po familiar.
Sotto: “Ganun daw ang ginagawa nung mga ibang umiiwas.”
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Sen. Chiz: “Can you open a joint account without the other?”
BPI: “Hindi po.”
So kahit hindi si VP Sara ang pumirma sa bawat withdrawal, ’di nabubura ang pangalan niya sa account dahil lang hindi siya pumirma sa withdrawal. 🎯
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Ayan naaaaa!
Another ₱16.85M manager’s check, dated May 30, 2016.
Payee: Samuel “Sammy” Uy, whom Trillanes has alleged is a drug lord.
₱16.85M. Sammy Uy. Follow the money. 👀
#VPOnTrial #VPSaraOnTrial
PROSECUTION: PATTERN OF CONCEALMENT
Funds can “disappear” from year-end balances once converted to manager’s checks, while still cash-backed in the bank settlement account and potentially hindi na makikita sa SALN. Naitago na eh.
Bingo. 🎯

BPI Julia Vargas branch exists!
BPI witness confirmed the existence of a Rodrigo Duterte–Sara Duterte account there.
He also confirmed a ₱40.65M time deposit opened in 2010, which grew to ₱41.72M by 2011
So, tama na naman si @TrillanesSonny 💪🏻

Hanep, Atty. Alih vs. Defense pala sa bank representatives. 💪🏻
Sabagay, naiintindihan ko naman ang defense. Baka kaya naghati-hati na sila sa pag-cross ng lahat ng witnesses… para mahirapan si Inday just in case magbato ng laptop. 😅

Sen. Kiko on GenCorp:
Security Bank: 8 active peso accounts, opened 2020–2025.
VP Sara was also declared a GenCorp shareholder. She became VP in 2022, when Art. VII, Sec. 13 bars the VP from participating in business.
So, DDS, anuna? 😅
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Sen. Bam zeroed in on Cale88.
Security Bank: No docs, no transaction. Usually, money is returned.
Bam: “Paano nangyari ’yon?”
Witness: “I don’t want to speculate.”
Chinese transactions? Sent to compliance.
Ayan Sen. Bam, wag tantanan yan!
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Sen. Kiko Pangilinan seems to have flagged 2 notable points:
1️⃣ Cale88 accounts closed July 2026, amid the impeachment trial.
2️⃣ Opened 2024 & 2025, when VP Sara was already VP.
Good catch, Sen. Kiko. Keep digging. 🔎
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Sen. Kiko Pangilinan: So di basta-basta nagfa-file ang Metrobank ng Suspicious Transaction Report (STR).
May guidelines at review. Hindi negative media o chismis ang sapat na basis.
Witness: “We’re careful, di tama mag-file kung mali or walang basis”
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Daming pera! 👀
PSBank records: VP Sara’s account 3853 had ₱2.03M–₱2.19M year-end balances, 2022–2025.
Pero sa SALN, walang separately declared cash on hand/bank deposits since 2019.
Isang bangko pa lang ’yan. Wala pa ’yung iba. 😏
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Singit lang: Ngayon ko lang napansin bakit kaya tinatawag na “senator-judge” sa roll call sina Marcoleta, Go, at Jinggoy, eh hindi naman sila nanumpa bilang senator-judges? 🤔
Curious lang.
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Sen. Kiko Pangilinan zeroed in on 1,197 Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) amounting to ₱42.96M.
Kiko: “Bakit ang dami?”
Witness: “…the records would have to be checked”
Napakarami nga naman. Hindi na ’yan red flag eh. Parang red carpet na. 😅
#VPOnTrial
#VPSaraOnTrial
Pumila pa talaga ulit sa Round 2 si Sen. Robin ah.
Ano ’yan, sisiguraduhin pa rin kung taga-Bulacan talaga yung witness o naka-akyat na rin s’ya sa bundok? 😅
