00:08For the record, we're borrowing.
00:23For orderly proceeding, I think it's proper for a decision to ask to be recognized first.
00:28Yes, Your Honor, we will do that. If I may be recognized, Your Honor.
00:32Depends. What is the pleasure of Counsel for Respondent and Attorney's season?
00:38Would you state an observation on the note?
00:41Your Honor, I think...
00:42Counsel, we agreed that only one Counsel shall speak in so far as the presentation of a witness is concerned.
00:52This was objected to by the Counsel for Respondents, even if it was asked for by the Counsel for the
00:57Prosecutors.
00:57We will do that, Your Honor.
00:58For the record, we are not objecting. But, you know, for a properly proceeding, Attorney's season...
01:03Counsel, it's okay. The Chair will make a ruling.
01:04Attorney Bin Luan, can you handle that with your permission, Attorney's season?
01:09Your Honor, I'd just like to share the observation that the witness is reading from his notes
01:16and not directly from the document that he identified.
01:22And if I may reply to that, Your Honor, to that non-issue, Your Honor, if I may?
01:26Um, yes.
01:27Your Honor, there's nothing...
01:28Yes, Counsel for the Prosecutors.
01:29Your Honor, wala po sa rules na kailangan na yung tugon ng isang witness sinabi niyang notes.
01:35Dapat based isang dokumento.
01:37In fact, Your Honor, please, yung iniisip ng ating rules, yung mga notes na ginawa mismo ng witness.
01:44For the public, if you're interested, you may look at rule 130, section 16 ng rules of court.
01:50Andun yun, pupwedeng tingnan ng isang testigo yung notes na ginawa niya.
01:56Rule 130, section 16, Your Honor, please.
01:58Before I recognize counsel for respondent, Senator Judge Laxon, what is your pleasure, sir?
02:04Thank you, Mr. President.
02:06This is relevant to the discussion.
02:09The gentleman may proceed and he has two minutes.
02:11Yes, you requested to refer to your notes a number of times during your direct examination.
02:18Ang tanong ko, are you referring to an investigator's notes or notebook or simply notes?
02:27No, Your Honor, during the investigation, I have copies of the affidavit of investigations that we have.
02:33Yeah, I ask that question because my understanding of an investigator's notes or notebook to be credible
02:40and may even be used as part of the examination or evidence-in-chief, you know,
02:46depending on its authenticity and purpose and the rule of evidence is that the contents therein were written on the
02:52exact dates
02:52when the subjects of those notes actually happened.
02:56Ito yung ginawa niya mismo?
02:58Yes, Your Honor, during the investigation.
02:59Thank you. Thank you for the clarification.
03:01Thank you, Senator Judge Laxon.
03:03Noted and entered in the records.
03:04Counsel for Respondent, what is your pleasure?
03:06Your Honor, that was mere manifestation, Your Honor.
03:09We just want to put it for the record.
03:11There being no objections, some witness may proceed and answer or counsel may proceed...
03:16...
03:16of course save.
03:18...
03:25You
