Evidence

Developments

  1. Impeachment Trial - Day 19Context

    The witness testified that he merely accompanied former OVP disbursing officer Gina Acosta to the bank at her request and did not know the arrangement for custody of the withdrawn P125 million, and had no personal knowledge of how the confidential funds were released to Col. Lachica. He further testified that Acosta likewise had no knowledge of confidential fund spending and liquidation, that Lachica knew as security officer, and that the Vice President, as head of the agency, knows how the fund was spent.

Evidence tiers, explained
Tier 1

The official record of the proceeding itself: session video (VODs) and transcripts, filed pleadings, court orders and rulings, admitted exhibits.

Tier 2

An official or primary document from outside the proceeding: an agency report (e.g. a COA audit), an official order or gazette entry, an authenticated original statement.

Tier 3

Reporting that describes primary material rather than being it — one step removed from the record, whoever the publisher is.

Tier 4

Commentary, analysis, or opinion: an editorial, column, press release, social-media post, or other advocacy or self-published take.

Tier 5

A publicly circulating claim whose provenance cannot be traced to any of the tiers above; never used to set a claim's status.
