Benjamin Tolosa, Jr., the legal spokesperson for the House impeachment prosecution panel against Vice President Sara Duterte, confirmed he will continue holding both his role as legal spokesperson and private prosecutor throughout the trial.

This decision comes after Senator Chiz Escudero, the impeachment court's presiding officer, advised the prosecution and defense panels to appoint separate spokespersons.Tolosa acknowledged Escudero's reminder but emphasized that both sides have been careful not to violate the sub judice rule in their statements.He explained that their communications will remain within the bounds of fair and accurate reporting, ensuring compliance with legal guidelines.When asked if he would relinquish his dual roles, Tolosa stated that no final decision has been made yet.The case highlights ongoing tensions between maintaining transparency and adhering to judicial protocols during high-profile political trials.Escudero's advice underscores the complexity of balancing public information dissemination with the integrity of the judicial process.Tolosa's commitment to uphold these standards reflects the delicate nature of handling such sensitive cases.
