@newswatchplusph: ESCUDERO: AMOUNT GIVEN TO DUTERTE IS 45 TIMES HER INVESTMENT WATCH: Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero points out that the ₱2.14 million Vice President Sara Duterte received from GenCorp from 2022 to 2025 was about 45 times her documented ₱46,875 capital contribution to Davao Bounty Foods Corporation. Escudero distinguished between a return of investment, or the recovery of the original investment, and a return on investment, which refers to earnings from that investment. Defense witness Suzette Balucanag-Punay admitted she could not explain why the payments reached ₱2.14 million or identify any other investment that could account for the amount. She later agreed with Kapunan that the payments constituted income, whether classified as returns of or on investment. #newsph #fyp #VPonTrial
