00:00Meanwhile, a crucial witness is set to testify before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee,
00:05potentially shedding light on new details regarding the flood control scandal.
00:10Senator Panfilo Lacson believes this testimony could be the missing link to up the investigation,
00:16while the controversy surrounding Orly Guteza's credibility continues to unfold.
00:22Our Daniel Manalastas reports.
00:24A very important witness is expected to face the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee next hearing.
00:33As revealed by Senator Panfilo Lacson,
00:35he further divulged that the witness is expected to reveal new information on the flood control scandal.
00:42Importante kasi pwedeng ma-wrap up yung lahat ng pwedeng o kailangang malaman patungo pati sa prosecution.
00:52Sabi ko sa kanya, kung magma-mention lang ng pangalan na walang support ang dokumento,
00:57huwag na lang mag-mention.
00:59Maski may personal knowledge, kung wala naman siyang supporting documents, huwag na lang magbanggit.
01:03Yan ang aming usapan.
01:05Meanwhile, on the controversial witness Orly Guteza,
01:08Lacson said the witness will be invited on the next probe.
01:12They are also finding pieces of evidence or witnesses who will corroborate Guteza's statements.
01:18Sabi ni Sen. Bato, meron siyang di-presenta na mag-corroborate kay Guteza.
01:24And I just thought, nung kinumusta ko kay Sen. President, sabi ko, natatandaan ko may sinasabi si Sen. Bato.
01:31Ang balita niya, mukhang nag-join up na kay Sabi, no, kay Congressman Saldico sa Europe.
01:40Mark and Paul, yung sinasabi niya, nakasama niya na nag-deliver.
01:43Sen. Rodante Marcoleta meanwhile believes that Guteza is a credible witness,
01:48saying that this witness has nothing to gain and has everything to lose.
01:53Marcoleta is also questioning the allegations thrown at Guteza for allegations of faking documents.
01:59Marcoleta said he doesn't believe Guteza has the capacity to falsify.
02:04Lacson believes that if Guteza's intention is to prosecute perpetrators on flood control mess, he should come out.
02:11For now, there are some flood control personalities that are still detained in the Senate.
02:17Will they still be in the Senate until Christmas?
02:20Kung hindi man matuloy makulong yung mga, yung contractor, yung sinasabi niya na Secretary Dizon,
02:26posible ba nandito sila magpasko sa Senado, sa kulungan sa Senado?
02:30Most probably. Kasi ang sinid din nga namin, ano pa eh?
02:35And pa ng 20th Congress eh.
02:37So that's, that's what, that's three years, ano?
