AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoImpeachment Watch: The Senate impeachment court cleared a key step in VP Sara Duterte’s trial, ordering subpoenas for her bank, tax, and AMLC records—plus those of husband Manases Carpio and related firms—while excluding foreign-currency deposits unless depositors consent and denying requests for two companies lacking clear links. Accountability Debate: Defense counsel Michael Poa said the subpoenas were anticipated and argued the complaint lacks “ultimate facts,” while senator-judge Robinhood Padilla urged the same scrutiny for all impeachable officials and called for stronger FOI law. Governance & Disaster Response: Newly appointed Cabinet Secretary Benhur Abalos and other officials visited quake and flash-flood victims in Davao Occidental, while DepEd pushed faster school recovery so classes can resume. Environment: Sen. Loren Legarda warned that “dumpsite disasters” expose failures to enforce the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, urging proper sanitary landfill standards. South China Sea: The U.S. condemned China’s “dangerous” Ayungin/Second Thomas Shoal actions after a Philippine serviceman was injured. Payments Update: BSP moves to cut transfer fees as banks waive InstaPay/PESONet charges, but GCash and Maya still face questions over their remaining P10 fees.
