House panel subpoenas VP Sara's self-proclaimed bagman for April 14 hearingMANILA, Philippines — The House justice committee has summoned Ramil Madriaga — the detained man who claims he personally delivered bags of cash on Vice President Sara Duterte's orders — to testify under oath on April 14 in her impeachment proceedings. The subpoena issued Monday, April 6, orders Madriaga to appear at 10 a.m. on April 14 at the House of Representatives and produce his Nov. 29, 2025, affidavit along with any other evidence in his possession. Madriaga has also alleged that Duterte's 2022 vice presidential campaign was financed by drug dealers and operators of Philippine offshore gaming operations. She has filed a perjury complaint against Madriaga and said she has no personal or professional relationship with him. Two of the original four impeachment complaints against the vice president remain active.
