00:34Bago pahimayin sa impeachment court ang mga sal-en o Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth,
00:40ni Vice President Saro Duterte inalmahan ng depensa na kasama ang mga mula pa noon 2007 kung kailan siya Vice
00:47Mayor ng Davao City.
00:48This refer to documents or sal-ens covering periods which the respondent was not an impeachable officer, Your Honor.
00:57Pero pinayagan nito ng impeachment court bagaman may limitasyon sa paggamit.
01:01Whatever it is that may be shown is only for purposes of establishing a baseline and not adding to the
01:07charges already made in the articles of impeachment that are outside her term.
01:12Ang mga sal-en, ang vice-presidente at iba pa mga opisyal ng gobyerno ay inilalagak sa records division ng
01:18Office of the Ombudsman.
01:20Ang officer in charge na tanggapan na si Atty. Karen Batu ang iniharap na testigo ng prosecution sa 2007 sal
01:27-en ni Duterte,
01:28mahigit 7 milyong piso nakadeklarang net worth niya. Halos 100 milyon piso na ito noong 2025.
01:34Her declared net worth as well as that of her spouse, Atty. Manasa Scarpio, increased from 7,250,497 pesos
01:44in 2007 to 98,656,131.20 cents in 2025
01:55or an increase of around 91 milyon from 2007.
02:00Lumabas din na nagdeklara ng kanilang mga negosyo sa sal-en, Senado Duterte, at asawang si Atty. Manasa Scarpio.
02:07Pero hindi nakalagay ang acquisition cost o kung magkano na ito nabili.
02:11Base po dito sa tatlong sal-en, wala pong nakadeklar na acquisition cost.
02:16So similarly, may negosyo pero walang puhunan.
02:18The council has been misleading as he has been making it seem that puhunan is equivalent to acquisition cost.
02:26Puhunan is capital, Your Honor, and not capital investment and not acquisition cost.
02:32Puna ng presiding officer, walang espasyo sa sal-en form na nakalaan para sa acquisition cost ng mga negosyo.
02:38Pero ayon kay Batu, dapat naka-itemize ang acquisition cost sa seksyo ng form para sa personal properties.
02:45Hindi nakadeklar yung acquisition cost.
02:51So ibig sabihin na may possibility na net worth is undervalued.
02:55I cannot make that inference, Your Honor, kasi as I've said, the office of the Ombudsman is merely a repository
03:02agency.
03:03Without concluding anything, yes, it can be a possibility.
03:07That's why precisely, Your Honor, it has to be declared para po klaro at the onset
03:12kung ano po talaga yung corresponding na amounts or value ng mga shares of stock.
03:20Inilahad di Batu ang mga cash declaration ni Duterte mula 2007 hanggang 2018.
03:25Pero pagdating ng 2019...
03:27For 2019 po, wala pong diniklear na cash on hand or in bank si BP Sara.
03:34Ganun din po for sal-en 2020.
03:37Onwards, ano po yung cash declaration ng ating vice president after 2020?
03:43For sal-en 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, wala pong nakadeklar na cash on hand or in bank.
03:56Inalala ng prosecution na sinabi raw ng depensa sa isang interview na nakasama na raw ito sa ibang personal properties
04:03ng vice.
04:04Natalakay din sa pagdinig na kung may pagkakamali sa sal-en, maaari itong itama base sa regulasyon ng Civil Service
04:10Commission.
04:11Pero ayon sa Ombudsman, wala silang record na itinama ng vice presidente ang kanyang sal-en maliba na lamang noong
04:172025.
04:18Ang requirement lang po is as long as it is based on honest mistake and or good faith.
04:24Yes, Your Honor.
04:25Sabi naman ang depensa, hindi ipinakita ng testimony ni Batu na may ill-gotten wealth ang vice.
04:31You are not competent to say whether it is irregular, correct?
04:35Yes, sir.
04:35You are not competent to say whether it is unusual, correct?
04:38Yes, sir.
04:39You are not competent to say whether it is wrong or defective, correct?
04:43Yes, sir.
04:44So in testifying today's trial, you cannot conclude whether the vice president has or does not have ill-gotten wealth.
04:52Objection, Your Honor. Irrelevant, Your Honor.
04:54It was clear from the very start that the witness was only testifying based on the records and we've been
05:00fair with the witness.
05:01Para kay Sen. Judge Lito Lapid, hindi maaaring basta baliwalain ang usapin sa sal-en.
05:07Meron po kasi ako napanood na isang abogado na in-interview sa TV.
05:12Ang sabi niya, yungan ko lang po kung tama ito, walang politiko o magsasadmit ng sal-en na tatarbaho sa
05:20gobyerno.
05:20Na totoo. Ang sabi niya, isang kalukuhan niyan kung magsasabi sila ng totoo. Tama po ba yun?
05:28Ako po, nagsasabit po ako ng totoong sal-en, Your Honor.
05:32Ito ang unang balita, Joseph Morong, GMA News.
