00:00So just based on your records, kindly look at 2007. The Salen of the Vice President in 2007, the first
00:09year she entered elective public office. Magkano po ang nakadeklarang net worth or yaman ng ating Vice President in 2007?
00:19Ang nakadeklarang net worth ng ating Vice President for the Salen of 2007, ito po ay declared as P7,250
00:31,497.
00:34How about in 2008? And I promise to be very quick after this. How about in 2008, what is the
00:41declared net worth of the Vice President in 2008 after one year in public office?
00:47For 2008, the declared net worth is P18,493,616.65.
00:58Okay, so tama po Madam Witness, after one year lang sa public office, sobra doble na yung tinaas ng kanyang
01:06net worth based on the records only.
01:07Again, Your Honor, we move to strike those statements, Your Honor. Objection to those statements.
01:11Council, you already know, kindly move on. So stricken.
01:15We'll comply, Your Honor. Salamat po.
01:17Thank you, Your Honor.
01:20Sige po. 2009, Madam Witness, and let's go quickly. 2009, how much is the net worth or ano ba yung
01:28tagalog ng net worth?
01:31Yaman?
01:33Yaman ba?
01:35Yaman. Sorry, I'm not a Tagalog speaker, Madam Witness.
01:39Yes. Ano po ba yung net worth or yaman ng Vice President in 2008?
01:44Your Honor, if I may, maybe the good counsel, it would be best if he sticks to the terms used
01:49in the documents, Your Honor.
01:50Your Honor, I have to take exception at this point.
01:54I've given leeway to the good counsel and I've complied with all his requests.
01:59But I don't think that the good counsel can muzzle or gag the prosecution short of any improper or any
02:06offensive matter that I may have said.
02:08There's nothing so far.
02:09So may I just ask the good counsel, Your Honor, to allow me to ask the questions.
02:13A brief response, Your Honor.
02:15When they allowed the witness to testify, Your Honor, they stated that the witness will be identifying the documents.
02:20Now, here comes the counsel from prosecution, using words that are outside the document themselves.
02:30That is why, precisely, we're asking, gently and respectfully, that they just use the document as used in the document,
02:38Your Honor.
02:39I also cannot translate net worth, Counsel.
02:44Your Honor, apologies, I...
02:46The most important thing in the document in the week of the Filipino is a whole family, which presumes that
02:55the documents have been banned.
02:56Yes, Your Honor.
02:57And I apologize, sir.
02:58It was not the intention of the prosecution to use the word.
03:01As I mentioned, Your Honor, I'm from Indanel, so I'm not really particular.
03:05Let's use net worth, then, in the absence of an agreed Tagalog or Filipino translation.
03:10Thank you, Your Honor.
03:11Please proceed, Attorney James.
03:12Salamat po. We'll comply accordingly, Your Honor.
03:16Sige po, Madam Witness.
