It depends on who actually participated and how many actually took part in the trial,
And this will be followed by several witnesses who will either corroborate or further explain what those pieces of evidence mean—the authentication evidence and the results of the NBI's investigation into those recordings,
It would be strengthened because that is only the foundation. So, brick by brick, we are going to make it stronger,
So, the first week was important because the prosecution started converting the allegations contained in the Articles of Impeachment into evidence, which was tested or subjected to cross-examination,
There would be, of course, additional witnesses. The other witnesses have already received subpoenas, and the testimony of Senior Agent John Mark Calilung will be supplemented,
We offer our full support for Sen. Bam Aquino to pass this measure that would be a big help to all students. Every peso that can be saved for their education lessens the concern and burden for them and their families,
