BPI executive reveals year-end account balances in Duterte impeachment trial

BPI witness Marvin Galvez testified before the Senate impeachment tribunal, providing closing account balances from multiple BPI accounts associated with the Duterte family and legal counsel Carpio. The witness presented financial data spanning three calendar years, offering the court a detailed look at account activity during the period under examination.

Galvez delivered year-end balance figures recorded across 2022, 2023, and 2024, according to BPI's internal records. The testimony came during direct examination as prosecutors built their case in the ongoing impeachment proceedings against the Vice President.

The presentation of financial records represents a significant development in the impeachment trial, as the court seeks to examine the financial affairs of key figures implicated in the case. Banking records have become central to the proceedings, with the witness providing official documentation of account positions at the close of each fiscal year.

The impeachment court has been hearing testimonies and reviewing evidence related to the financial accounts in question. Galvez's testimony adds another layer of documentary evidence to the tribunal's review of the transactions and balances maintained across the accounts.
