The second day of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial saw her defense lawyer, Carlo Narvasa, repeatedly object to House private prosecutor Amando Ligutan's proceedings, marking a tense and contentious atmosphere.

Narvasa's objections, which numbered at least 25, challenged Ligutan's questions and disrupted the court's flow, drawing reactions from both the public gallery and Senate staff.The trial, which centers on videos allegedly showing Duterte threatening President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., faced interruptions as Narvasa argued some questions were vague.Despite the interruptions, House prosecutors claimed they 'scored points' in their strategy.The trial, expected to span months, highlights the legal and political complexities of Duterte's defense team's approach.Public reactions, including laughter and signs urging silence, underscored the trial's high stakes.

The defense's strategy of frequent objections remains a focal point as the impeachment process unfolds, with implications for Duterte's legal standing and the broader political landscape.
