00:00House Prosecutor Keith Flores confirms the prosecution will no longer present its bribery case against Vice President Sarah Duterte to
00:08expedite her trial.
00:09Flores says the prosecution had informed the impeachment court about its decision in a filing on Tuesday, October 6.
00:15The decision to not proceed with bribery had nothing to do with the strength of the case.
00:22We are conscious about the timetable that the prosecution set for us to prosecute the entire Articles of Impeachment.
00:33But it's not the time table that we set ourselves, to ourselves also.
00:41This means the prosecution will end its presentation of evidence with its case on her alleged unexplained wealth.
00:46The prosecution initially requested eight trial dates to present its bribery case and listed four potential witnesses.
00:53During the House Good Government Committee inquiry in 2024, Vendep Ed Special Disbursing Officer Edward Fajardo claimed,
01:00Then Education Chief Sarah Duterte ordered him to send cash to school superintendents via their bank accounts.
