MANILA, Philippines — An Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) official who previously flagged about P6.77 billion in “suspicious” and “covered” transactions involving Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases “Mans” Carpio, is set to testify Monday before the Senate impeachment court.
AMLC Executive Director Ronel Buenaventura is expected to testify on financial records involving Duterte, Carpio and companies in which they have financial interests.
The records, which include covered and suspicious transactions, inward remittances and insurance- and investment-related transactions, are part of the prosecution’s evidence under Article II of the impeachment complaint.

Article II accuses Duterte of amassing unexplained wealth, failing to fully and truthfully disclose her and her husband’s assets, liabilities and net worth in their statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs), and continuing to hold business interests while in office.
Buenaventura previously told the House Committee on Justice that AMLC records showed 630 covered transaction reports and 33 suspicious transaction reports involving Duterte and Carpio from 2006 to 2025, with a combined value of P6.77 billion.
Buenaventura’s testimony before the Senate impeachment court will be followed by representatives from banks, insurance companies and the Bureau of Internal Revenue as prosecutors seek to establish a fuller picture of the couple’s finances.
Ordered to appear before the court on Oct. 6 are representatives of Land Bank of the Philippines, Asia United Bank, Philippine Savings Bank, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., Bank of the Philippine Islands, Philippine National Bank and BDO Unibank.
Representatives of Prudential Life, Allianz, Manufacturers Life, FWD Life, BPI-AIA Life, BDO Securities and BDO Life have also been summoned.
Lead prosecutor Rep. Gerville Luistro earlier said the bank representatives would testify in the sequence indicated in the prosecution’s subpoena request.
The defense, meanwhile, has asked for advance copies of summaries and other documents that Bureau of Internal Revenue and financial institution witnesses intend to identify during the trial.
