00:00The same way that they will be giving us copy also of their pre-trial brief, no?
00:05So to your question, whether the defense will be informed, definitely yes.
00:11The defense lawyers and in fact the vice president are expected to be there at the pre-trial conference.
00:19So kung ano man ang nakalagay ko sa pre-trial brief namin, makikita nila yun.
00:24At sila din po mismo ay kailangan mag-submit din po ng kanilang pre-trial brief, which we will all
00:30discuss at the pre-trial conference on Thursday.

01:00Sa pagka, there's a rule that witnesses who are not named in the pre-trial brief, exhibits which are not
01:08marked during the pre-trial,
01:10will not be allowed to be presented during the trial.

01:22surprises during the trial.
01:24No, that will not happen because it will compromise our case.
01:28So as early as during the pre-trial, dapat ilalatag na lahat ng istigo.
01:33Dapat ilalatag na lahat ng evidensya.
01:36Otherwise, you will not be allowed during the trial to present them.
01:40And we do not want that to happen.
01:42Dapat ilalatag na lahat ng evidensya.
02:12Dengan namah na lahat ng jepawan
02:13Dapat ilalatag na lahat ng abat ng kad ha mm smer zi kawang iye.
02:15Dapat ilalatag na lahat ng jepawan
