By Vice President Sara Duterte’s request for the Senate to shoulder the defense panel’s catering costs and other arrangements for the impeachment trial comes off as improper and funny at the same time, House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Janette Garin said.
In a press briefing on Wednesday, Garin and members of the House prosecution panel were asked about Duterte’s letter dated July 7, 2026 and addressed to Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian, where she requested that they source food and beverage from the accredited caterer of the Office of the Vice President (OVP), and for its cost to be shouldered by the Senate.
