00:00It turns out, Vice President Sarah Duterte has dollar accounts based on a letter the bank BPI
00:06sent to the Senate impeachment court. This is revealed on Thursday, November 12, when defense
00:10lawyer Michael Boat tells the court it is no longer presenting BPI Vice President Paul Roderick
00:16Ismael as a witness. Private prosecutor James Bryan Ibrahim Ali then tells the court about the
00:21BPI letter and that his team was hoping to cross-examine Ismael about it. Ali says the
00:26prosecution team did not know about the dollar accounts when it was building its case against
00:31Duterte. However, the prosecution has already rested its case and the rest of the proceedings will be
00:35for the defense's presentation. Presiding Officer Cheese Escudero tells Ali the prosecution may
00:40just state the existence of the dollar accounts when it makes its final statement at the end of
00:45the trial. Ismael is among over a dozen bank officers the defense team has withdrawn as witnesses.
00:51House prosecutors say the discovery of the dollar accounts adds to their argument that Duterte has
00:56a quote pattern of concealment of her assets. It could mean that she has even more hidden and
01:01unexplained wealth than the 187 million pesos already covered as evidence in her impeachment trial.
