Impeachment Trial - Day 11

The impeachment court admitted all documents stipulated by both sides and granted BDO and Security Bank until August 13 to complete their subpoenaed submissions, as the prosecution continued Article I testimony (Wamil was its third Article-I witness). The prosecution also presented acknowledgement receipts bearing questionable payee names — including 'Mary Grace Piattos' — supported by no official or sales invoices. Former state auditor Roderick Wamil of the COA Intelligence and Confidential Funds Audit Office testified for the prosecution about the OVP's and DepEd's 2022-2023 confidential-fund liquidations, identifying documentation deficiencies, audit observation memoranda, and a notice of suspension. The parties stipulated to the authenticity of key OVP and DepEd documents and to four ₱125-million checks, while the defense declined to stipulate that one tranche was spent within 11 days.

Session record

Claims introduced or updated

  • This session introduced a new standing claim card, "COA witness: Joint Circular 2015-01 requires strict compliance for confidential funds," opened after Wamil identified Joint Circular 2015-01 — jointly issued by COA, DBM, DILG, DND, and the Governance Commission for GOCCs — as the principal standard COA-ICFAO used in auditing the confidential funds.
  • On "The ₱612.5M confidential-funds charge," the record now carries Wamil's testimony identifying VP Sara Duterte's signature on the OVP's December 13, 2022 physical and financial plan (Exhibit P-1-14) and a stipulation that the OVP issued four ₱125-million checks to special disbursing officer Gina Acosta.
  • On "COA's ₱375M disallowance," the record now carries Wamil's testimony describing documentation deficiencies, the audit observation memoranda issued to the OVP and DepEd, and a COA notice of suspension dated December 13, 2023.

Evidence & exhibits

  • The prosecution presented former COA-ICFAO state auditor Roderick Wamil as a witness on the OVP and DepEd confidential-fund liquidations for 2022-2023.
  • Wamil identified the OVP's December 13, 2022 physical and financial plan, marked as Exhibit P-1-14, as bearing VP Sara Duterte's signature.

  • The presiding officer stated that, pursuant to the July 20, 2026 ruling, the BIR, AMLC, and several banks submitted subpoenaed documents to the Office of the Clerk of Court on July 30, and noted Security Bank had not completed printing for two of 20 entities, GenCorp Industries and CALE88 Foods Corporation.
  • Wamil's testimony referenced Audit Observation Memoranda issued to the OVP dated September 14 and October 3, 2023, February 1, 2024, and August 8, 2024, AOM No. 2024-015 to DepEd, and a COA notice of suspension dated December 13, 2023.

Court rulings

  • The presiding officer stated that all documents were admitted and stipulated by counsel on both sides.
  • The court granted BDO an additional 10 banking days until August 13 to submit documents required by the subpoena duces tecum and directed it to provide four additional USB flash drives with electronic copies.
  • The court granted Security Bank an additional 10 working days until August 13 to submit certified true copies and five USB flash drives of complete electronic bank records for GenCorp Industries, Inc. and CALE88 Foods Corporation.
  • Resolving a dispute over the scope of a stipulation, the presiding officer stated that the authenticity, execution, and all information contained in the checks — including signatories, payee, amount, date encashed, and the dorsal side — were stipulated to by the respondent.

Open questions

  • Will BDO and Security Bank complete their subpoenaed document submissions by the August 13 deadline set by the court?
  • How will the court treat the prosecution's proposed stipulation that the December 2022 tranche was spent within 11 days, which the defense declined to accept?
  • What further testimony will Wamil give regarding the OVP and DepEd confidential-fund liquidations and the identified documentation deficiencies?
