LIVE UPDATES: Sara Duterte Impeachment Trial (November 11, 2026)

Résumé détaillé

The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte will continue on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with the Defense presenting witnesses to debunk the allegation of unexplained wealth of Duterte.

Vice President Sara Duterte has no participation in the transactions of Metro City Chow Foods Corporation from 2022 to 2025 despite being listed as a director and member of the company’s compensation committee, a defense witness said Wednesday.

Atty. Suzette Balucanag-Punay, in-house counsel for Gencorp Industries, Inc. and Metro City Chow Foods Corporation, said this on the 42nd day of the impeachment trial during her direct examination by defense counsel Justin Gular.

According to the witness, the Vice President is one of the incorporators of Metro City Chow, which operates a fast food chain branch based in Davao City.

Citing General Information Sheets from 2022 to 2025, she also confirmed that Duterte is a member of the Board of Directors and a member of the compensation committee of Metro City Chow.

Vice President Sara Duterte had a “loose investment” in GenCorp. Industries Inc., from which she received P2.14 million in returns of capital from 2022 to 2025, a defense witness told the Senate impeachment court on Wednesday.

Lawyer Suzette Balucanag-Punay, in-house counsel of GenCorp. Industries Inc. and Metro City Chow Foods Corp., made the disclosure during her direct examination on the 42nd day of the impeachment trial, citing GenCorp.'s corporate records.

Senate impeachment court presiding officer Francis “Chiz” Escudero on Wednesday ruled to strike from the record the “absurd” remark mentioned in the trial amid discussions on the findings of financial forensic analyst Atty. Alexander Cabrera.

This developed on the 42nd day of the impeachment trial, after defense witness Atty. Suzette Balucanag-Punay, the in-house counsel for Gencorp Industries, Inc. and Metro City Chow Foods Corporation, described as “absurd” Cabrera’s findings that Vice President Sara Duterte has alleged 20% ownership in Gencorp Industries.

“This is inaccurate, sir… It is inconsistent from the records of the corporation,” Punay said.
