Former OVP Assistant Secretary Lemuel Ortonio took the witness stand alongside military/audit resource persons, including Lt. Col. Joey Wamil.
Proceedings opened as the Senate trial court navigated petitions filed by VP Duterte's legal team.
Tensions flared during recross-examinations of Ortonio after he was declared a hostile witness. Senator Alan Peter Cayetano actively questioned both panels on procedural guidelines.
