The International Criminal Court Trial Chamber III released Thursday, Oct.8, its decision made on Sept. 28 that former president Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial.

Five Chinese companies highlighted during the Senate impeachment trial as remitters to CALE88 Foods Corp., the banana chip exporter in which Vice  President Sara Duterte's husband, Manases Carpio, was a shareholder, reveal a  striking contrast in corporate profiles. 

In a response dated Oct. 5, acting Prosecutor Maame Mandaye Niang opposed the defense request to reduce the prosecution’s disclosed evidence from 62,130 items to 10,000, saying that doing so would require the removal of a dataset highly relevant to the case.
