The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte will continue on Thursday, November 12, 2026, with the Defense presenting witnesses to debunk the allegation of unexplained wealth of Duterte.

Online personality BP Inday Tasha, a known impersonator of Vice President Sara Duterte, arrived at the Senate Thursday amid the impeachment trial.

The defense team presented Thursday a co-parent of Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Atty. Manases Caprio, in their children's basketball team, to testify on matters surrounding the credit card purchase of over P256,000 worth of shoes in Malaysia.

In the offer of testimony, defense counsel Justin Gular said that Chadrin Parian from Las Piñas City is expected to prove that he and Carpio are parents of children that are part of a youth basketball team named Elite Philippines.

He is also expected to prove the circumstances surrounding the purchases worth P256,882 in Nike Pavilion Kuala Lumpur using Carpio’s credit card.

Parian is likewise expected to disprove the material allegations under Article II of the Articles of Impeachment, to identify documents, and other related matters.

The defense team presented Thursday a lawyer who was with Atty. Manases Caprio, husband of the Vice President Sara Duterte, during a trip in Japan where over P200,000 worth of transactions was incurred using the Second Gentleman's credit card.

On Day 43 of the impeachment trial, the defense called to the witness stand Atty. Anel Martin Antero.

The witness, during his cross examination by private prosecutor Amando Ligutan, admitted that he is a "long-time friend" of Duterte and Carpio.

He said he was in San Beda Law for two years but was not a classmate of Carpio.
