00:00And Mr. Chair, lastly, may I confirm if the Chairman made an announcement that Mr. Saldico will not be invited?

00:11Yes, as you know, you have been a congressman for many years.

00:16There's what we call inter-parliamentary courtesy.

00:19We do not invite or summon members of Congress in the same manner that they don't invite senators to their hearings.

00:25It is up to the congressmen or senators concerned to appear before their inquiries in aid of legislation.

00:34That is a tradition.

00:35Yes, Mr. Chair.

00:36And that tradition is not accorded to individual members of Congress or either House.

00:42It is accorded to the institution.

00:45Yes, Mr. Chair.

00:45Is that, yeah.

00:47Yeah, but if he is expelled, then we'll invite him.

00:51He's no longer a member of Congress.

00:52Representative Chanko was not expelled, Mr. Chair, but when he was invited...

00:58Yes, but he is voluntarily appearing before the committee.

01:00Yes, but there was an invitation.

01:05I was the one who invited him when I was the chairman.

01:07Well, you can speak for yourself.

01:09Yes, that's why.

01:10He can be invited.

01:12There is no violation of inter-parliamentary...

01:15Anyway, that's what I'm under the bridge.

01:17He will appear, I think, anytime now because he was informed by Senator Errecito.

01:21So, can we just proceed?

01:23We have a long day.

01:24I'm going to speak to Mr. Saldico.

01:27All right.

01:27If he's here, we can invite him.

01:30Okay.

01:30Okay, thank you.

01:31No issue there.

01:33Okay, so...

01:35Today, we will hear the testimony of...
