- Published WhatsApp messages show Makintach discussed a camera with fellow TOC N°3 judges and referenced Supreme Court communications, complicating claims that colleagues were unaware.
- The jury heard from production-linked witnesses and is moving toward closing arguments, with a decision on removal expected within five business days after hearings conclude; charges include mal desempeño, bribery, abuse of authority, and misuse of public resources.
