Vice President Sara Duterte is ready to disprove allegations that she used fictitious beneficiaries for her offices' confidential funds if the impeachment trial in the Senate pushes through.

Duterte said this during a chance interview with supporters outside the Scheveningen Prison in The Hague, Netherlands on Wednesday, July 9.

"It can be very well addressed during trial. So, our lawyers are preparing for the trial and collecting pieces of evidence and gathering affidavits from witnesses that they will present during trial," she said.

The Vice President warned the public, however, of believing the House of Representatives.

"I think it is wrong for everyone to pick up as truth or as a fact all the pronouncements of the members of the House of Representatives, particularly with the fictitious names," Duterte said.
