00:00In this manifestation, Your Honor, in response to the manifestation earlier made by the defense,
00:04that as of this moment, they cannot yet disclose their position on whether the names appearing in
00:12the acknowledgement receipts are real names or alias, Yes, Your Honor. With all due respect,
00:18Your Honor, it's already a tad too late for the defense, Your Honor, to be adopting the position,
00:24the teaser alias, Yes. As I've repeatedly manifested, Your Honor, they were already given the opportunity
00:31at the first time in the answer and second time in the pretrial, Your Honor. Precisely be conducted
00:39pretrial, Your Honor, so that the parties can lay their cards on the table. And on the basis of the
00:44issues defined during the pretrial, the prosecution worked on its case, Your Honor. Your Honor, since
00:52the beginning of these proceedings, the defense has been invoking due process as if it were a magic
01:01one that could straightjacket the prosecution. Now, Your Honor, it's not only the defense who has the
01:06right to due process. Even the prosecution is entitled to due process. We are entitled to know
01:12what we are working on, Your Honor, the theories of their case, Your Honor. We're already at the 11th
01:18hour, Your Honor. It's... Wala pa rin, Your Honor, kasi gurun. Ano ba yung position?
01:23Your Honor? May has to be recognized, Your Honor.
01:27Are you done, Attorney May? Yes, Attorney Nicole.
01:30Yes, Attorney Sheila is recognized.
01:33I think, Attorney, the counsel is... appears to be interested in finding out about the position
01:41of the defense, but she may perhaps have neglected the basic and the most essential idea of a fair
01:49trial, and that is for the prosecution to first discharge its burden of proof. And until the
01:57prosecution hurdles that burden, then the defense may even remain silent. So I will not dignify
02:03anymore. These complaints of having... allegedly failing to disclose the defense position, etc., etc.,
02:17that this is already the 11th hour, that there has already been a pre-trial proceeding that should
02:24have laid the cards of the parties down. However, it is also basic, and it is apparent and manifest
02:31before everyone, before this court, at sa ating mga manonood, na hindi pa itong panahon para sa
02:38depensa. In fact, nasa pangalawang article pa lang po tayo ng prosecution. I respect the
02:46predicament of the good counsel. However, siguro kung gusto natin ng fair trial, kailangang makita
02:54muna ng taong bayan ang ebidensya na sinasabi ng prosecution at hindi nagre-reklamo
03:01sa kung ano ang hindi na ipapakita ng depensa precisely because this is not yet the time of the
03:07defense to present its evidence or whether we will even present evidence if the proper time
03:15comes, Your Honor. Depende sa may papakita ng prosecution.
