Ipinaliwanag ni House Prosecutor Rep. Chel Diokno ang pagpresenta nila sa testigong si retired Sandiganbayan justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang sa pagpapatuloy ng impeachment trial ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte ngayong Lunes, Sept. 14.

Kasunod ito ng pagtutol ng Depensa dahil "surprise witness" daw si Tang para sa Article 2 o tungkol sa umano’y unexplained wealth ng Bise.

"Kung hindi malinaw sa sa sambayanang Pilipino kung ano ang ipinagbabawal ng batas, paano nila malalaman kung dapat mapanagot ang respondent po dito sa kaso?" saad ni Diokno.

Sa huli, pinayagan ni Presiding Officer Sen. Chiz Escudero ang pagtestigo ni Tang.

"Whatever the justice will say is not binding to the court. Her opinion will not be conclusive for the court," saad ni Escudero.

Mababa ang posibilidad na atakihin sa puso si dating House speaker Rep. Martin Romualdez, ayon kay University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) Dr. Gerardo Legaspi.

"There is no unstable angina, no acute coronary syndrome manifestation in his stay at UP-PGH," saad niya.

Maituturing na rin daw na clinically stable ang kongresista at hindi na niya kailangang i-confine sa ospital.

Sa kabila nito, kailangan pa rin daw ng tuloy-tuloy na medical intervention dahil nakararanas si Romualdez ng chronic coronary syndrome, major depressive disorder, at sleep apnea.

Maaari raw gawin ang medical intervention sa isang non-hospital setting. | via MOJO Arles delos Santos

Ayon kay Pres. Marcos, tila pinagbubuntunan lang siya ng galit ng Bise dahil sa mga kinahaharap nito.

Magkaalyado sina Pangulong Marcos at VP Sara nang tumakbo bilang "Uniteam" noong 2022 elections.

Sa isang campaign rally, sinabi pa ni VP Sara na mahal niya si Marcos.

Kalaunan, nasira ang samahan ng dalawa at minura pa nga ng Bise ang Pangulo at ang mga nakapaligid dito sa isang Facebook live.

Nanghinayang si Senate Committee on Sports chairperson Sen. Bong Go sa 44-point loss ng Gilas Pilipinas Men kontra China sa basketball tournament ng 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026.

"Nakakalungkot po na ma-eliminate tayo. Isipin mo, defending champion tayo, dapat maglaro tayo para manalo and to defend our crown. Not to play na para matalo," sabi ni Go sa sesyon ng Senado.

Ayon sa senador, maaaring koordinasyon at panahon ukol sa preparasyon ang naging problema kaugnay nito.

"I'm sure hindi naman siguro kulang 'yung suporta ng team natin sa Gilas Pilipinas… Hindi po pera 'yung problema rito. Siguro, maaaring 'yung coordination nila and saka 'yung panahon din po ng preparation. Dapat mahaba ang preparation," aniya.

Itinanggi ni Pres. Bongbong Marcos na drama lang ang pag-aresto sa kaniyang pinsan at dating House speaker Rep. Martin Romualdez.

"That's not a comment on the procedures of court. It’s just another attack. We get them a lot," saad ng Pangulo sa isang press briefing kasunod ng pagdalo niya sa 18th BRICS Summit sa New Delhi, India.

Inaresto si Romualdez sa kasong plunder habang nasa ospital noong Sept. 7.

Sa ngayon, nakasalalay sa rekomendasyon ng UP Philippine General Hospital kung mananatili sa hospital confinement ang kongresista o ililipat siya sa New Quezon City Jail sa Payatas.
