Defense team lead counsel Atty. Sheila Sison on Wednesday, Sept. 2, called the prosecution’s 13-point offer of testimony “just rhetoric aimed to provide drama” during the 21st day of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial.

Sison also said the prosecution’s claim that witness Atty. Michael Poa was one of the Vice President’s “most trusted men," and that he “answered for” the P12.5 million was “quite misleading.”

00:00quite frankly your honor i don't know if the 13 point offer of the council deserves
00:11any reasonable comment considering that they sound really just rhetoric
00:19aim to provide drama in this proceeding but nonetheless your honor these are
00:24some of the comment that i have to the offer of the council um as to the offer that the
00:32witness is
00:33one of the most trusted men of the vice president um and that uh he answered four
00:43that was the precise terminologies stated by the council for 120 112.5 million
00:54this is quite misleading your honor in fact um the use of answered four appears to be
01:01i am not going to finish your honor i allowed the council to finish his 13 point um offer
01:11so i would ask the same courtesy to allow me to finish your honor thank you
01:16so this uh answered four 112.5 million is quite misleading and appears to be
01:24a deliberate use to imply or insinuate that the witness was made to provide just mere excuses to
01:32the auditors in fact if what he meant was to reply to the audit observation memorandum that is different
01:42from answered for 112.5 million and i think that's quite um clear and also your honor um
01:53um i don't think that uh to include in the offer a statement that said
02:02an abogadong walang alam is proper whether here or outside the court whether we are trying an
02:12impeachment case or we're just talking to one another as fellow members of the bar
02:20and i would even have to ask the court to strike this off the record
02:23no no no no can you respond to your radio honor or we're not
02:26and i'm not yet to allow her to finish council even i know she's not yet finished
02:30I submit you on.
