00:32Bago pahimayin sa impeachment court ang mga sal-en o Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth,
00:38yung Vice President Saro Duterte inalmahan ng depensa na kasama ang mga mula pa noong 2007 kung kailan siya Vice
00:45Mayor ng Davao City.
00:47This refers to documents or sal-ens covering periods which the respondent was not an impeachable officer, Your Honor.
00:55Pero pinayagan nito ng impeachment court bagaman may limitasyon sa paggamit.
00:59Whatever it is that may be shown is only for purposes of establishing a baseline and not adding to the
01:06charges already made in the articles of impeachment that are outside her term.
01:10Ang mga sal-en, ang vice-presidente at iba pa mga opisyal ng gobyerno ay inilalagak sa records division ng
01:17Office of the Ombudsman.
01:18Ang officer in charge ang tanggapan na si Atty. Karen Batu ang iniharap na testigo ng prosecution sa 2007 sal
01:25-en ni Duterte.
01:26Mahigit 7 milyong piso nakadeklarang net worth niya. Halos 100 milyon piso na ito noong 2025.
01:32Her declared net worth as well as that of her spouse, Atty. Manassez Carpio, increased from P7,250,497 in
01:432007 to P98,656,131.20 in 2025 or an increase of around P91 million from 2007.
01:58Lumabas din ang nagdeklara ng kanilang mga negosyo sa sal-en si Duterte at asawang si Atty. Manassez Carpio.
02:05Pero hindi nakalagay ang acquisition cost o kung magkano nila ito nabili.
02:09Base po dito sa tatlong sal-en, wala pong nakadeklar na acquisition cost.
02:14So similarly, may negosyo pero walang puhunan.
02:17The council has been misleading as he has been making it seem that puhunan is equivalent to acquisition cost.
02:25Puhunan is capital, your honor, and not capital investment and not acquisition cost.
02:30Puna ng presiding officer, walang espasyo sa sal-en form na nakalaan para sa acquisition cost ng mga negosyo.
02:36Pero ayon kay Batu, dapat naka-itemize ang acquisition cost sa section ng form para sa personal properties.
02:43Hindi naka-declare yung acquisition cost.
02:49So ibig sabihin na may possibility na net worth is undervalued.
02:54I cannot make that inference, your honor, kasi as I've said, the office of the ombudsman is merely a repository
03:00agency.
03:01Without concluding anything, yes, it can be a possibility.
03:05That's why precisely, your honor, it has to be declared.
03:08Para po klaro at the onset kung ano po talaga yung corresponding na amounts or value ng mga shares of
03:18stock.
03:18Inalahad di Batu ang mga cash declaration ni Duterte mula 2007 hanggang 2018.
03:24Pero pagdating ng 2019...
03:25For 2019 po, wala pong diniklare na cash on hand or in bank si BP Sara.
03:32Ganon din po for sal-en 2020.
03:35Onwards, ano po yung cash declaration nung ating vice president after 2020?
03:42For sal-en 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, wala pong nakadeclare na cash on hand or in bank.
03:54Inalala ng prosekusyon na sinabi raw ng depensa sa isang interview na nakasama na raw ito sa ibang personal properties
04:01ng vice.
04:02Natalakay din sa pagdinig na kung may pagkakamali sa sal-en, maaari itong itama base sa regulasyon ng Civil Service
04:09Commission.
04:09Pero ayon sa ombudsman, wala silang record na itinama ng vice presidente ang kanyang sal-en maliba na lamang noong
04:162025.
04:17Ang requirement lang po ay as long as it is based on honest mistake and or good faith.
04:22Yes, Your Honor.
04:24Sabi naman ang depensa, hindi ipinakita ng testimony ni Batu na may ill-gotten wealth ang vice.
04:29You are not competent to say whether it is irregular, correct?
04:33Yes, sir.
04:34You are not competent to say whether it is unusual, correct?
04:37Yes, sir.
04:37You are not competent to say whether it is wrong or defective, correct?
04:41Yes, sir.
04:42So in testifying today's trial, you cannot conclude whether the vice president has or does not have ill-gotten wealth.
04:50Objection, Your Honor.
04:51Irrelevant, Your Honor.
04:52It was clear from the very start that the witness was only testifying based on the records and we've been
04:58fair with the witness.
04:59Para kay Sen. Judge Lito Lapid, hindi maaaring basta baliwalain ang usapin sa sal-en.
05:05Meron po kasi ako napanood na isang abogado na in-interview sa TV.
05:10Ang sabi niya, iwan ko lang po kung tama ito, walang politiko o magsasadmit ng sal-en na natatarbaho sa
05:18gobyerno na totoo.
05:20Ang sabi niya, isang kalukuhan yan kung magsasabi sila ng totoo.
05:25Tama po ba yun?
05:26Ako po, nagsasabit po ako ng totoong sal-en for Your Honor.
