Davao City Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte took the witness stand under oath, claiming he was unaware of VP Sara's involvement in GenCorp deals and stating he never discussed business matters with his sister.
The impeachment court declared Baste Duterte a hostile witness following questioning regarding business ties and municipal deal contracts linked to GenCorp.
The impeachment court formally rejected a motion attempting to compel VP Duterte to admit bank records into evidence.
The court announced the cancellation of the hearing set for Wednesday, September 30, due to a transport strike, with proceedings scheduled to resume on Thursday, October 1.
