\#SaraOnTrial: BPI Division Head Marwin Galvez testified that Samuel “Sammy” Uy was the payee of a P16 million manager’s check dated May 30, 2016.
The check was drawn from a joint BPI account involving Vice President Sara Duterte and her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte. Private prosecutor James Bryan Alih asked Galvez to identify the payee during Wednesday’s impeachment proceedings.
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV is calling on government agencies to investigate what he described as the national security implications of Vice President Sara Duterte allegedly receiving money from a “hostile foreign country.”
In a post today, Trillanes said the impeachment trial had confirmed claims he raised during a Friday press conference. He called on the DND, NSC, NICA, NBI and other agencies to investigate, saying the issue “goes beyond the impeachment.” #SaraOnTrial #news #ph #pinoy #philippines
