The House prosecution panel on Monday presented 15 boxes labeled "confidential funds" before the Senate impeachment court as it continued to pursue allegations that Vice President Sara Duterte misused and misappropriated confidential funds.

The documents were brought to the Senate on the 11th day of the impeachment trial, which has entered its fifth week and continues to tackle Article I of the Articles of Impeachment concerning the alleged misuse of confidential funds.

During the impeachment trial, lead private prosecutor Atty. Lorna Kapunan said the prosecution had prepared extensive documentary evidence related to the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President (OVP).

"We have 15 boxes of confidential funds," Kapunan said.

Kapunan said the prosecution presented former Commission on Audit (COA) Confidential Funds Unit auditor Roderick Wamil as its witness to identify 50 documentary exhibits that the prosecution wants the defense to stipulate as part of the presentation of evidence.

According to Kapunan, the acknowledgment receipts (ARs) for the fourth quarter of 2022 alone under the OVP consist of 845 documents.

"This witness will be identifying 50 exhibits. The acknowledgment receipts alone for the fourth quarter of the Office of the Vice President will be 845 documents, Your Honor," Kapunan said.

She added that Wamil is expected to identify a total of 3,664 documents, including 3,617 acknowledgment receipts.

Kapunan urged the Senate impeachment court to stipulate the authenticity of the documents, emphasizing that they were not produced by the prosecution.

"These documents are not documents from the prosecution. These documents are the liquidation documents submitted by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education to liquidate the P500 million confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and P112.5 million of the Department of Education," she said.

The prosecution also sought additional stipulations from the impeachment court regarding the documentary evidence. In response, the defense panel requested a five-minute recess to review the documents before responding.

Earlier in the day, members of the House prosecution panel arrived at the Senate carrying at least 15 boxes labeled "Confidential Funds" ahead of the day's proceedings.
