00:01NBI Regional Director Jeremy Lotok says his team found no validated information to identify the assassin supposedly hired by Vice
00:08President Sara Duterte to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
00:12Lotok is the second witness of the prosecution in the impeachment trial of Duterte.
00:16But Lotok insists this does not make the threat any less credible or actionable.
00:21Insofar as the crime of grave threat is concerned, hindi po yon kailangan.
00:25Grave threats can be committed with or without condition.
00:28Senator Judge Alan Peter Cayetano challenges Lotok's position, adding that such an allegation must be proven with evidence.
00:35During Tuesday's proceedings, the prosecution presented portions of Duterte's controversial press conference where she made profane remarks against numerous public
00:43officials.
00:44During the cross-examination, the defense questions the credibility of the NBI investigation by pointing to alleged flaws in the
00:50affidavit the agency submitted to the Department of Justice.
00:53The DOJ had earlier found the affidavit insufficient for preliminary case buildup.
00:58But Lotok clarifies the report was not lacking in substance but in attachments.
