Marwin L. Galvez

Division Head for Central Metro Manila Branches, Bank of the Philippine Islands; prosecution witness

He distinguished joint-and accounts requiring all named holders' signatures from or accounts permitting one holder to act. For the account examined, Rodrigo Duterte's signature was necessary and Sara Duterte's alone could not operate it. Both signed KYC records; the chair reported no Vice President signature on the submitted account-9539 transaction documents, distinguishing those from opening and KYC records.

Galvez lacked personal knowledge of Sara Duterte transacting on Carpio's individual account and could not determine her knowledge of joint-account transactions. Returned unused checks were not uncommon, but he could not explain clients' purposes or confirm deliberate year-end concealment; he also could not infer a deposit's source or identify an ultimate check payee without checking records.
