MANILA, Philippines — The prosecution panel of the House of Representatives has requested 31 trial days to present witnesses and documentary evidence supporting its allegations that Vice President Sara Duterte misused more than P612.5 million in confidential funds, indicating that the presentation of evidence on the first article of impeachment alone could take more than two months under the Senate impeachment court's current schedule.
