众议院公共账户委员会和比科尔萨罗党议员特里·里东对潜在利益冲突提出担忧，因为副总统莎拉·杜特尔特在进行中的弹劾程序中法律团队的两名成员，可能在机密资金处理问题上担任证人。里东表示，将迈克尔·波阿和雷诺德·蒙萨亚克纳入辩护团队引发严重质疑，因为他们直接涉及副总统办公室和教育部的机密资金问题。
在马尼拉，众议院公共账户委员会和比科尔萨罗党议员特里·里东昨日对副总统莎拉·杜特尔特在进行中的弹劾程序中法律团队的潜在利益冲突表达担忧。据报道，该团队的两名成员迈克尔·波阿和雷诺德·蒙萨亚克，已被确定为审查机密资金处理的可能证人。 里东在一份声明中表示：“如果这些律师掌握被审查的交易或决定的第一手知识，他们最终可能需要宣誓作证。”波阿在杜特尔特担任教育部长期间担任教育部门发言人，当时该机构收到数亿比索的机密资金，后来因支出和清算问题接受国会审查。同时，蒙萨亚克担任副总统发言人和教育部门采购助理秘书。 杜特尔特的辩护团队由资深律师西格弗里德·福尔通领导，得到福尔通·纳尔瓦萨和萨拉扎尔律师事务所的同事支持。报道中未提及杜特尔特阵营对此担忧的回应。
