00:00I wanted to answer the questions Mr. Chair. I have a daughter waiting for me
00:05who attempted to kill herself three times. I cannot leave her, Mr. Chair. She's
00:10waiting for me. She attempted three times Mr. Chair. That's why I cannot leave her.
00:20Now I will answer all your questions Mr. Chair. With regards to my travels, that is
00:26the real answer. I do not know why my visa was cancelled, Mr. Chair. You can
00:36validate that if you ask Japan why they didn't give me the exact answer.
00:42I think Congressman Paduano has asked several questions to you,
00:48GM Garma, not just about your trip to Japan. So it seems that you have not
00:57answered his questions and you appear to be evading the questions that he is
01:06asking. And that is the reason why you were cited in contempt. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I
01:11make a statement. That's why I'm appealing to answer. But as stated by the
01:16Honorable Congressman, Mr. Chair, he said that I was not telling the truth
01:21about my travel to the States. But that's the truth. If that is the only reason,
01:26isa lang yan. Ano pa yung other questions that I will answer. But with regards to
01:30my travel to the States, last travel, yun po ang totoong nangyari sa aminang anak ko sa Japan.
01:36I do not know why my visa was invalidated according to that lady in
01:43Japan.
01:45Mr. Chairman, just to be clear, he was not contented because of that question of mine,
01:51because of the travel. In fact, hindi ko nang pinusok kasi it is all about the
01:57question being raised to you by the members and you're evading the question.
02:01It is not all about your travel in the U.S. Eh di ba nga ako tapos dun eh. Sa totoo lang po.
02:08Travel in the U.S.? Di pa ako tapos dun. I tell you, you were cited in contempt
02:18because you're evading question from the very start by the members of this
02:23committee, not because my question about your U.S. travel. Ang totoo noon, hindi pa ako tapos dun.
02:33Ms. Garma, alam mo yun lang? Di pa ako tapos dun. And I will prove you in the next hearing.
02:39Pag hindi kayo nagsabi ng totoo, I will prove to you that you're lying. Dun lang muna, kung yun lang yung
02:45gusto mong pag-usapan, yung travel mo sa U.S., if you will not tell the truth in the next hearing,
02:50I have all the proof. With me. Hiningan lang kita kanina, hindi mo may bigay. Kung online ngayon,
02:59dapat may record kay. Di ba? Mr. Chairman, I think the resource person does not have any recourse
03:13with us anymore simply because we have decided. If you look around, we do not have any quorum
03:19already to decide whether we would withdraw the contempt order or not. So I think the recourse
03:27left for the gentlelady is that either she files a motion for reconsideration or she goes to the
03:34court. I think her lawyer knows that. Kasi hindi na po tayo pan dahil nag-decide na po yung buong
03:41committee kanina. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, that is true that we have already decided. If you want
03:52to question the decision of the committee, you can either question this before a court or file
03:59a motion for recon before the quadcom. And we will certainly entertain the motion. But since
04:09the committee has already decided, and Congressman Fernandez is about to move to me to give him the
04:17floor, and now I give you the floor. We sympathize with you, Colonel Rojina Garma. But of course,
04:28we have already decided and the proper recourse is to apply for a motion for reconsideration.
04:34And in relation to your daughter, na sinasabi mo po, can you kindly give us a certificate? Kasi
04:49we really don't know. We will be asking the Sergeant-at-Arms to patch yung anak niya,
05:01to be with her, para at least makita natin yung kalagayan ng kanyang anak. So with that,
05:09Mr. Chairman, I think it is just right for us to bring the child in here para makasama po ni
05:22Colonel Garma. Enough po, Mr. Chairman. And I move to suspend this quadcom hearing till the
05:32next hearing will be scheduled. Second. There is a motion to suspend. Duly seconded. Hearing no
05:38objection, this committee hearing is suspended.
