MANILA, Philippines—The Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, has deferred action on a written explanation submitted by a bank official why he refused to submit and disclose details pertaining to dollar accounts in the name of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
At the resumption of the impeachment trial on Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III informed the Senate that it was in receipt of a written explanation from Pascual Garcia III, president of Philippine Savings Bank, who refused during Wednesday’s proceeding to disclose details of Corona’s dollar accounts.
But Sotto said the chamber would discuss the matter in a caucus on Monday.
