House prosecution counsel Lorna Kapunan on Aug. 4, 2026 expounds on her use of the word 'scam' to describe Vice President Sara Duterte's confidential funds, saying the alleged misuse of P612 million in public funds amounted to defrauding the Filipino people. Kapunan made the remarks after defense counsel Michael Poa moved to strike from the record her use of the word during the day's proceedings.
