众议院检察官已决定在副总统萨拉·杜特尔特弹劾案的第六天庭审中，不再传唤两名原定证人。取而代之的是，法庭将听取关于财务记录传票的口头辩论。
7月14日，众议院检察官告知参议院弹劾法庭，他们将不再传唤副总统前幕僚长祖莱卡·洛佩兹（Zuleika Lopez）和众议院立法安全官员贝琳达·贝洛（Belinda Bello）上尉。私人检察官洛娜·卡普南（Lorna Kapunan）表示，国家调查局证人的证词已经证实了杜特尔特2024年11月在线新闻发布会视频片段的真实性。
庭审第六日定于7月15日下午2点进行。与以往不同的是，当天没有证人出庭作证的计划。法庭将转而听取关于调取银行记录、反洗钱委员会记录，以及杜特尔特及其丈夫马纳塞斯·卡皮奥（Manases Carpio）国内税收局记录的传票请求的口头辩论。
弹劾指控的第四条依据杜特尔特在2024年10月和11月发表的言论，指控其犯有严重威胁和煽动叛乱罪。检方表示，这一决定使得针对该条指控的证人人数减少了两人。
媒体报道称，检方在第六日庭审前撤回了祖莱卡·洛佩兹和贝琳达·贝洛这两名证人，认为其证词多余；辩方对此表示惊讶，但检方否认此举出于恐惧。用户和分析人士讨论了庭审策略向财务传票的转变，以及对程序拖延的担忧。
