00:24We believe that this witness is irrelevant.
00:28Ano po ang relevance ng magiging statement ni Major Sanggalang dito sa pinapag-uusapan natin tungkol po sa hidden wealth
00:39or unexplained wealth?
00:41May diamante ba? May gold ba yung baril na yan that we have to tackle all the firearms?
00:46We just want to make sure that of the relevance of this particular evidence because many of us are firearms
00:54owners here, if not all members of the Senate.
00:56We usually put it under personal effects and personal properties. We're looking for the bigger evidence that they want to
01:03present.
01:03The guidelines for the SALEN actually require a statement of the firearms.
01:13Under Section 34, it states there that personal property registered with the appropriate government agencies, but not limited to motor
01:21vehicles, boats, aircraft, and firearms shall be declared individually.
01:25Punto ni presiding officer Cheez Escudero.
01:28Even assuming he can put a price on the firearms that the spouses own at 7 million, that's well within
01:36the SALEN she submitted of I believe 88 million as of the latest.
01:44And there is no requirement to declare the firearms as a separate category in the SALEN.
01:49Kalaunan, pinayagan din ang testimonya sa pangako hindi na ito pangahabain pa.
01:54Sa testimonya ni Major Joe Rickson Sanggalang, sinabi nitong Type 5 ang lisensya ni VP Sara at kanyang mister na
02:03sa Atty. Man Scarpio.
02:04Ibig sabihin, kapwa sila pwedeng magmay-ari ng mahigit labing limang baril.
02:10Si VP Sara meron daw 22 firearms, habang ang mister na si Man Scarpio merong 20 siya.
02:17Si VP Sara po ay merong 22 firearms, meron po siyang 14 na pistol, dalawang revolver, limang rifle, of which
02:32tatlo po doon ay Class A light weapon, and isa pong shotgun.
02:37Ang Class A light weapons po ay mga baril na may caliber po hanggang 7.62 with automatic functions or
02:49fully automatic po sila.
02:51Yung firearms po na yun ay capable of burst of fire.
02:57Ibig sabihin po nito, pag kinalabit po natin yung gatilyo, sunod-sunod na po yung puputok.
03:02Ayon kay Sanggalang, alinsunod sa batas, kadalas ang polis at sundalo ang gumagamit ng Class A light weapons.
03:09Ayon kay Sanggalang, aabot sa mahigit 7 million pesos ang halaga ng kanila mga baril,
03:15batay sa isinagawa nilang survey ng kasalukuyang presyo ng mga brand new na baril.
03:21Pero lumabas din sa pagdinig na maaring mas mababa dito ang presyo ng baril ni VP Sara
03:26dahil nagde-depreciate daw ang value ng baril sa pagdaan ng panahon.
03:31Sa cross-examination naman ng depensa, kay Ren Del Sopeña ng Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System
03:39tinalakay muli ang labing limang kontrata sa Davao City Hall na nakuha ng GenCorp Industries
03:45na isa sa mga idiniklarang kumpanya ni VP Sara.
03:49Pinunto na wala namang itinatago sa naturang transaksyon
03:52dahil ang mga dokumento makikita raw ng publiko online sa pamamagitan ng PhilJep's system.
03:59None of these transactions were hidden from the public, correct?
04:03Yes, all procurement data are publicly available, sir.
04:06And none of these transactions were hidden from regulatory agencies, correct?
04:15Based on the PhilJep system.
04:16Pinalutang din na depensa na hindi alam ng PhilJep's kung may irregularidad sa mga transaksyon.
04:23Salag naman ang prosekusyon, hindi tungkol sa irregularidad ang testimonya ni Sopeña
04:28kundi tungkol sa umunoy hindi wastong deklarasyon sa SALEN at conflict of interest.
04:33Kaugnay nito, ipinatawag na impeachment court ang kapatid ni VP Sara,
04:37ang kasalukuyang mayor ng Davao City na si Baste Duterte.
04:41Pero ayon kay presiding officer Jesus Cudero, humingi si Mayor Duterte ng dagdag na panahon
04:47sa dokumentong kailangan sa kanyang pagharap sa impeachment court.
04:51The presiding officer grants the request of Mayor Duterte.
04:56Ito ang unang balita. Sandra Aguinaldo, GMA News.
