@newswatchplusph: ‘I PREFER NOT TO ANSWER, YOUR HONOR’ WATCH: Defense witness and corporate lawyer Suzette Balucanag-Punay says she does not know whether the Constitution prohibits the Vice President from receiving other income or having business interests while in office, after private prosecutor Lorna Kapunan raised the issue during Wednesday's (Nov. 11) impeachment trial. The exchange followed questions about the ₱2.14 million in payments to Vice President Sara Duterte from GenCorp from 2022 to 2025, which Punay described as returns of capital. Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero earlier pointed out that the amount was about 45 times Duterte's documented ₱46,875 paid-up capital. Punay initially said she preferred not to answer Kapunan's question before clarifying that she did not know. #newsph #fyp #VPonTrial
