Day 38 of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial opened in Manila on October 12 with attention fixed on the financial evidence. Her legal team is expected to challenge the findings of forensic financial analyst Alexander Cabrera, who testified for the prosecution. Cabrera told the court that Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, appeared to hold P817.87 million in unexplained wealth between 2022 and 2025. Her lawyers will likely go after the methodology behind those numbers and press the witness on whether the records he relied on can support such a conclusion. The prosecution has leaned on the analyst's figures to argue that the wealth the couple accumulated far exceeds what their declared income could explain. Duterte has denied wrongdoing from the start and describes the case against her as political. The senators hearing the trial must now weigh the financial testimony against her defense as the proceedings move deeper into the evidence.
