Private prosecutor Atty. Lorna Kapunan offered to use the defense's own marked documents in the impeachment proceedings if there were concerns over the authenticity of the prosecution's copies.

In a light moment during the hearing, Kapunan quipped, "Para 'wag na tayong magcompare-compare. Thursday, Friday manonood pa ko ng 'Odyssey,'" drawing laughter as the parties continued debating the documents. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:01Don't compare, compare. Thursday, Friday, I'll watch Odyssey.
00:07Your Honor, please, if I may, if I may add as well.
00:12In the marking of this exhibit, Your Honor, before the Honorable Clerk of Court, each acknowledgement receipt had three signatures.
00:21The signature of the Clerk of Court, the signature of one of the representatives for the prosecution, and the signature
00:29of the Defense Council, Your Honor.
00:31Three signatures per document. And now they still want, they had signed each of these acknowledgement receipt, Your Honor.
00:38That's number one. Number two, Your Honor, perhaps to restore a level of trust on the side of the defense.
00:48Maybe we can even use their own documents.
00:53If they do not trust the prosecution's documents or photocopies of the prosecution's documents, then we will use their documents,
01:02Your Honor.
01:03Because we are certain that their documents is the same as our documents.
01:08Let's use the defense documents, Your Honor.
01:10Then they will not say, we do not trust these documents because it is their own defense documents.
01:17Maybe that will solve the problem of this court.
01:20We will use your documents, Counsel.
01:22Will you still question using your own documents?
01:25Will you still question the authenticity of your own documents?
01:28Of course not, Your Honor.
01:30Then maybe that is a possible solution, Your Honor.
01:33Let us use the defense documents instead of the prosecution documents.
01:37Let us not compare, compare, Thursday, Friday.
01:42I will watch the Odyssey.
01:45I am sorry, Counsel.
01:47The presiding officer was not yet elected during the pretrial.
01:52Hence, I did not know what went on during the pretrial.
02:07I am sorry, I am sorry.
02:08All right.
02:08Now I am sorry because of the secret
02:08I will take out all of my documents.
02:08I am sorry, God, you're not lying.
02:09I am sorry.
02:09I am sorry, God, you're not lying.
02:09I don't want to tell you because I am right, but I am wrong.
