00:00Hanggang doon lang po siya nagbasa kasi doon lang po yung...
00:03We will excuse you, sasamahan ka ng sergeant at arms para kunin yung ledger and we will wait for you.
00:09Sa bas-bas ng Senado, panandali ang nakauwi sa kanilang bahay sa Pasig si Curly Descaya na nakadetain sa Senado at misis niyang si Sarah.
00:17Pakay nila ang ledger ng mga transaksyon umano nila sa ilang politiko na nakatanggap umano ng kickback sa flood control projects.
00:24Si Curly lang umano ang nakakaalam kung nasaan ito.
00:30Pagbalik sa Senado, isiniwalat ang mag-asawa sa Senate Blue Ribbon Committee ang mga pangalan ang nabigyan ng kickback sa maanumalian flood control projects.
00:39Kung Roman Romulo, kung Marvin Rillo, kung Dean Asistio, kung Patrick Vargas, kung Marivik Pilar, kung Jojo Ang, Yusek Terence Calatrava, Yusek Bernardo.
00:55Kalakip nito ang mga pecha kung kailan ibinigay at kung sino ang tumanggap ng pera.
01:00Dahil nasa pagdinig din ang isa sa mga nabanggit na si dating DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo, tinanong siya tungkol sa isiniwalat ni Curly.
01:08It was given to Mani Bulusan. So kung ako man po ay merong alam dito, I have to match with my records.
01:16Because pagka po ako ay merong ganyan, as I stated earlier, meron po akong proponent.
01:21Meron po project na katumbas yan. So I will have to match that with the projects if really it's true.
01:27Hinihingan pa namin ng pahayag ang ibang binanggit na dati na rin inilahad ng mga diskaya sa naunang pagdinig.
01:32Pero hindi pa raw ito kumpleto.
01:34Kapiraso lang po yung nakuha ko dahil mauubos po yung time namin.
01:39Baka pagbalik po namin dito ay tapos na po ang hearing.
01:43Susulat daw si Sen. Pring Lakson kay Sen. Lito Soto para payagan muling pauwiin si Curly para kunin ang iba pang dokumento.
01:51Kaugnay naman ang pag-apply sa Witness Protection Program ng mag-asawa ayon sa DOJ.
01:56For the past two months and a half, we have not heard from Mr. and Mrs. Diskaya.
02:01They have not gone back to the department. There has been no coordination made by the couple either by their lawyer.
02:10The last thing that we heard from them was when they declared that they will no longer be cooperating with the ICI.
02:16Since then, we have not had the opportunity to talk to them. So there can be no evaluation that can be done.
02:22It should be explained to the couple, sir, that there is no such thing as an ex-deal here where they will provide us with documents and then we will immediately, or the Witness Protection Program will immediately give them a memorandum of agreement.
02:44In other words, hindi kaliwaan.
02:45Hindi po kaliwaan yan. Because precisely, the reason why these affidavits will have to be submitted first is for us to evaluate and determine whether the same is compliant with the requirements of the WPSB law.
02:58And second, if it can be corroborated by other pieces of evidence.
03:01A simple statement telling us or naming a hundred names will not make any difference unless the same can be substantiated.
03:09And thus far, we have not seen any. And therefore, there can be no evaluation.
03:13Pero agad kinontra ni Sen. Urodante Marcoleta ang kondisyon ng DOJ na restitution o pagsasoli ng mga diskaya sa pondo ng bayan bago maging state witnesses ng mag-asawa.
03:24There is no reason to burden these people for another requisite which is not even in the law. So kung qualified sila, i-process natin.
03:33Kung ang gagustuhan po ng diskaya couple is makonsider sila o ma-process sila, let's take away the aspect of restitution.
03:40But they have to comply first with the requirements which is the submission of the affidavits.
