00:00Bagamat may pagtaas sa net worth ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:04hindi daw ito sapat para masabing meron na siyang unexplained wealth.
00:08Ayod po yan sa isang dean ng isang graduate school college of law.
00:12Narito ang aking report.
00:17Sa loob ng labing walong taon,
00:18tumaas ng magigit 91 million pesos ang net worth ni Vice President Sara Duterte
00:23kung ikukumpara ang kanyang mga Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth o SAL-ET.
00:28Noong mahalal siyang Vice Mayor ng Davao City noong 2007
00:31hanggang sa pinakabago niyang SAL-ET bilang vice-presidente nitong 2025.
00:36Ayon sa prosekusyon, ibabangga ang mga SAL-ET sa mga record ng Securities and Exchange Commission,
00:42Bureau of Internal Revenue at iba pang ahensya pati sa mga bank account
00:45at iba pang dokumentong nakuha sa pamamagitan ng mga sabpina.
00:49Part pa lang ito ng puzzle na binubuo natin.
00:52We cannot take it in isolation.
00:53Kailangan itong ikumpara para makita natin kung tumutugma yung mga figures,
01:00yung mga kabuang yaman na diniklara niya sa kanyang SAL-ET.
01:04Doon sa makikita natin na magkano yung kinita na diniklara sa kanyang mga BIR tax filings
01:12at magkano yung totoong kabuang yaman.
01:16Doon magiging relevant naman yung mga bank records, for example,
01:22and other evidence na pe-present ng prosecution.
01:26Sa pananaw ni Atty. Rodel Tatton,
01:28Dean ng San Sebastian Graduate School of Law,
01:30bagamat na ipakita ng presentasyon ngayong araw na may pagtaas sa net worth ng vice-presidente,
01:35hindi pa ito sapat para masabing mayroon siyang unexplained wealth.
01:38Maybe the next witnesses can provide an explanation or correlation
01:42or ma-cross-reference ito sa mga dokumento na ipipresent,
01:48talimbawa ng Securities and Exchange Commission, ng mga bank records.
01:53Dagdag ni Atty. Tatton,
01:55hindi ang mismong pagtaas ng net worth ang labag sa batas.
01:58Ang labag sa batas ay hindi mo ito ma-explain.
02:02Atty, nabanggitin po kanina na any government employee,
02:07pwede namang makasuhan,
02:09can be charged with unexplained wealth.
02:11What if it's a discrepancy of 5,000 pesos kung ang salary grade mo mataas?
02:16Would you consider that already unexplained wealth,
02:19even if it's just a very small amount?
02:20Kasi it's not in the smallness or bigness.
02:23The fact that there is an unexplained wealth,
02:27so kung mag-pass ka na doon, hindi mo ma-explain,
02:30and sobra doon sa ipinresenta mo,
02:33that is already a violation of the Code of Ethical Standards.
02:36This does not make any distinction
02:39as to whether you are a clerk in the LGU or the Vice President
02:44because you all have the duty to comply with these provisions of the law
02:48and more so with the constitutional provisions on public accountability and responsibility.
02:54Sabi ni Atty. Taton, magiging mahalaga ang testimonya
02:57ni SEC Company Registration and Monitoring Department
03:00Director-Attorney Gerardo Del Rosario na nakatakda sa lunes.
03:04Their presentation may not simply be
03:06whether si VP Sara ay stockholder or board of director
03:11but also to even look into the financial records of these corporations.
03:16Ayon naman sa depensa,
03:17may napag-isipan silang estrategiya
03:19para maipaliwanag ang mga issues sa sale ni Vice President Duterte.
03:23Pero hindi muna makapagligay ng detalye si Atty. Michael Poa.
03:27I think kung kailangan ipaliwanag yung mismong pagtaas
03:32I think that will come dun sa parte naman po ng depensa
03:35kung talagang kailangan namin ipaliwanag
03:37dun pa darating yun eh
03:38kasi sa ngayon talaga
03:39yung kay Atty. Batu
03:41if you notice
03:42she is testifying based on her personal experience
03:46o yung napapansin niya sa trabaho niya
03:50but lahat po kasi yun ay hindi conclusive.
