00:00by the
00:10at the time of opening in the
00:11dead women of them up all
00:13user of the memo that Mister
00:15Lamont
00:17the doubles the
00:19number seven
00:21When I entered the end room, I saw two lawyers of Colonel Garma standing inside the room.
00:30One of the lawyers approached me and then asked me what we were going to talk about.
00:37And you said, I said that I do not know.
00:44Number eight, after a while, Congressman Dan Fernandez entered the room and he asked me to
00:52sit beside him on the right side. Then Congressman Abate entered the room and sat on the far end
01:01chair on my right. One of the lawyers of Colonel Garma stood at my back.
01:07Point of order, I did not see that.
01:10I can make a statement, make that statement if you go and tell him.
01:21Point of order, Mr. Chairman.
01:22Point of order.
01:22What is the point of order?
01:24I don't see any reason why our guest keeps on invoking his right against self-incrimination
01:32when Deputy Speaker James Suarez was not asking
01:34the
01:38committee, and I'm not asking
01:40you anything incriminating, it
01:42was just merely reading a
01:44portion of his affidavit.
01:46So I don't like, Mr. Chair, that
01:48this committee, that our
01:50resource person may impress upon
01:52the public that we are here to
01:54corner him and to incriminate
01:56him.
01:58Please stop that.
02:00Mr. Chair, it's not right to
02:02invoke self-incrimination when in fact
02:04DSJJ is not asking you
02:06any questions, but merely reading his
02:08affidavit. Maybe the message
02:10Mr. Chair is showing
02:12the public,
02:14that we are cornering him here.
02:16I'm sorry, Mr. Chair, but
02:18I have to manifest this.
02:20I think his invitation to the Senate was to
02:22discuss about EJK and illegal drugs.
02:24And nowhere in his affidavit
02:26did he mention anything about illegal
02:28drugs and
02:30EJK. He did
02:32not share any
02:34inputs
02:36or his knowledge on illegal drugs.
02:38His participation in that Senate
02:40inquiry was merely to besmirch the
02:42reputation of some of the chairmen
02:44here. And as a result,
02:46attempting
02:48to degrade the integrity
02:50of the QUADCOM. So please,
02:52I hate to admonish
02:54men in uniform.
02:56I have the highest respect for our
02:58policemen. But please,
03:00Colonel,
03:02stop invoking your right against self-crimination.
03:04Nobody's asking you any committing questions
03:06here. If I confirm
03:08the testimony of Colonel Garma
03:10about DDS in 1999,
03:12since I was
03:14not a member of the PNP at that time,
03:16and I have no knowledge as to the
03:18reward system. Additionally, I
03:20said that the work of policemen
03:22are noble, that requires
03:24great sacrifice, even
03:26without reward or award.
03:28It is our moral obligation
03:30and a call of duty to serve our country
03:32and our people.
03:34If I may continue,
03:36Colonel Grijaldo.
03:40At Sinabimo,
03:42Congressman Dunn asked me,
03:44Colonel Garma,
03:46anong masabi mo
03:48sa kanya tungkol
03:50kay Barayuga?
03:52I politely
03:54told him I cannot comment on the
03:56case when I respectfully
03:58answered him, Sir, mahirap yan.
04:00Kasama kami sa nag-i-investiga
04:02at hindi ko alam
04:04kung anong
04:06kinalaman niya at may investigasyon
04:08din kami, baka may incriminate
04:10ako, Sir.
04:12Tama po ba ito, Colonel
04:14Grijaldo?
04:16Your Honor,
04:18I will stand by with my statement
04:20in the Senate under oath, Your Honor.
04:22Again,
04:24the resource person
04:26is out of order.
04:28Let it be of record
04:30that he is continuously
04:32disrespecting this committee
04:34by refusing
04:36to answer appropriately
04:38to the questions propounded by the
04:40member.
04:42Alamo,
04:44Colonel, if I may,
04:46DSJJ,
04:48binibigay ka namin ang pagkakataon dito.
04:50Noon nasa Senado ka
04:52ang tapang-tapang mo. Bakit dito ay
04:54magtapang ka rito?
04:56Ipakita mo yan, the same candor,
04:58the same tapang
05:00na pinakita mo doon.
05:02Di ba?
05:04Bakit
05:06hindi mo gawin yan dito ngayon?
05:10Nagtatago ka sa likod
05:12ng right against self-incrimination.
05:14Tinatanong sa'yo
05:16a relevant question.
05:20Matapang ka lang doon sa Senado
05:22kasi may kakampika.
05:24Dito ka magpakita ng tapang mo.
05:26Hindi yung nandito ka lang.
05:28Alamo,
05:30ang mahirap kasi sa'yo,
05:34gusto lang nating malaman
05:36ang katotohanan sa likod nito.
05:38Andahin mo nang ginawa.
05:40Dinamay mo ba yung mga kasama?
05:42Hindi dahil sa kasama namin sila,
05:44kundi hindi tama ang nangyari
05:46at ginawa mo.
05:48Mr. Rijaldo,
05:50babalikan ko lang,
05:52totoo ba
05:54o hindi
05:56na merong
06:00pumilit sa'yo
06:04na magsalita
06:08na hindi naaayon
06:10sa katotohanan
06:12dito sa quad ko.
06:14Your Honor, I would like to invoke my right
06:16for self-incrimination, Your Honor.
06:18Mr. Chair, point of order.
06:22What is the point of order,
06:24Congressman Malaco?
06:26The resource person has not answered
06:28my question a while ago,
06:30and he's still invoking his right
06:32against self-incrimination,
06:34which is improper.
06:36Even the Supreme Court decision says so.
06:40You're just telling me
06:42your ignorance of the law.
06:46Your Honor,
06:48I would like to invoke my right
06:50against self-incrimination,
06:52which is improper.
06:54Even the Supreme Court decision says so.
06:56Your Honor,
06:58I would like to invoke my right
07:00against self-incrimination,
07:02which is improper.
07:04Even the Supreme Court decision says so.
07:06Your Honor,
07:08I would like to invoke my right
07:10against self-incrimination,
07:12which is improper.
