遭到弹劾的副总统萨拉·杜特尔特（Sara Duterte）的辩护团队计划出于安全考虑，对90名证人中的部分人员名单进行保密，并视审判需要将其作为“意外证人”传唤出庭。
辩护发言人迈克尔·波阿（Michael Poa）表示，辩护团队与众议院检方小组同时提交了审前摘要。他驳斥了辩方抄袭检方至少57名证人名单的说法。参议院弹劾法庭批准了为期92天的审判，该审判程序由参议院议长谢尔文·加查利安（Sherwin Gatchalian）于6月29日签署的审前令确定。根据规定，检方有62个审判日，辩方有30个审判日。波阿指出，辩护团队已准备一年多，可能不会传唤全部90名证人，具体人数将取决于检方的举证情况。他表示，出于审前准则允许的安全原因，部分证人名单尚未公开。
