00:00The prosecution has asserted that the witness or the proposed witness is a disinterested party. Is that correct?
00:11Yes, Your Honor.
00:11Yes, I would just like to bring your attention to our subpoena. And in the requests for subpoena ad testificandum,
00:22it's very clear that the justice is served at the address of the Office of Aqbayan Partilist Representative Jose Manuel
00:37Celdiocno, Room 502, South Wing in the Batasan.
00:41Is this a disinterested party indeed?
00:45May I be allowed to answer?
00:47Honorable Jocno, may respond with the indulgence of Senator Judge Soto. Just to complete the interjection of Senator Judge, I
00:52mean.
00:53Thank you, Your Honor. The reason why the subpoena was directed through this representation was for the protection of the
01:01Honorable Justice.
01:03We know right now that when we know about personal sensitive information under the data privacy law, we can use
01:12it to be able to receive any bashing on the internet.
01:18There are also security issues involved. And that is the only reason why it was served through me.
01:24Ginagawa po namin yun, even in ordinary cases, simply for purposes of security and protection.
01:32Yun po.
01:34With all due respect, mahirap pong paniwalaan kasi wala naman natitira sa Kongreso.
01:39At wala naman tayong alam na threat kung legal opinion lang naman ang idudulog.
01:45Maraming salamat.
