The House prosecution panel has announced that they will present defense lawyer Michael Wesley Poa as a witness in Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial. Poa, who served as an undersecretary during Duterte's tenure as Department of Education secretary, is expected to shed light on questions left unresolved during a 2024 House inquiry into Duterte's alleged misuse of confidential funds. His testimony could clarify issues surrounding military certifications used by DepEd in responding to Commission on Audit findings involving confidential fund expenditures. Poa's testimony is part of the prosecution's strategy to present evidence under Article I, which involves allegations of misuse, misappropriation, and irregular liquidation of P612.5 million in confidential funds.
