House private prosecutor Jay Tolosa questioned a witness about the authenticity of a tax map. He pointed out that the document was just a photocopy and lacked both a date and a signature during the 41st day of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Defense lawyer Atty. Lindon Bacquel asked the witness if he had the original copy. Island Garden City of Samal Assessor Engr. John Kenneth Enumerables explained that the certified true copy he presented lacked a signature because it was computer-generated. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)
