00:00Your Honor, just a quick manifestation, Your Honor.
00:02Yes, counsel for respondent.
00:04Yes, Your Honor.
00:04We noted that the list of accounts, which was supposed to be prepared by Mr. Wamiel,
00:10with the caption, OVP, open parenthesis, December 21 to 31, 2022, close parenthesis, was unsigned and it was undated.
00:21Second, the witness is merely flipping the pages without comparing the ARs with the list, Your Honor,
00:27to check whether the ARs are the same with what was listed by Mr. Wamiel, Your Honor.
00:34And the third one is that we note that the folders containing the ARs were not marked as exhibits of
00:41the prosecution, Your Honor.
00:42For the record, Your Honor.
00:43Julie noted, however, the witness may testify as to the summary and or table if she's aware of it
00:51and if indeed it was part of the documents turned over to her by Mr. Wamiel.
00:55Counsel for the panel of prosecutors?
00:58Your Honor, we are tempted to make a counter-manifestation, Your Honor.
01:06Because, Your Honor, these manifestations, Your Honor, are because of their own doing, Your Honor.
01:13But in any event…
01:14I hope you won't give in to the temptation, Counsel.
01:17I will not…
01:18I will not, Your Honor.
01:21It's the wisdom of age.
01:23I will…
01:24I will not…
01:27Let's get something out of Ms. Helene.
01:29In fact, Your Honor, may I continue, may we continue to aid this Honorable presiding officer
01:38that during the interregnum from today's proceedings until Monday,
01:44there will be other tabulations, Your Honor, and there will be other acknowledgment receipts.
01:50And we propose, Your Honor, and regret that this is not unusual, but it is necessary, Your Honor,
02:03that all of these documents, because counsel says that this witness was just flipping over them.
02:08They can do this in front of the defense counsels and us, Your Honor, for the next succeeding days,
02:15because we will be going over 4,492 documents and six summaries, Your Honor.
02:24Hopefully, that we will be doing that in the next days, out of court,
02:30so that by Monday, it will be a speedier presentation of testimonial evidence, Your Honor.
02:36If you're converting that in…
02:38Are you making a motion, Counsel?
02:40Yes, Your Honor.
02:41May we so move that we be allowed to do this,
02:45not only as respect to the last quarter of December 2022,
02:53which is a suggestion of the presiding officer,
02:56but to all the quarters, quarter 1, 2, and 3 for the OVP,
03:01and quarter 1, 2, and 3 for the DepEd.
03:05Only with respect to the acknowledgment receipts.
03:15Thank you very much.
03:16Thank you very much.
