00:33Yung huling-huli po sa page na ito, P20,000,000.
00:39Doon sa kabila naman po ay P20,000,000 din po.
00:43At magkano naman po ang kabuhan ng lahat ng transaksyon noong March 28, 2014?
00:50Your Honor, can I verse the calculator po kung pwede?
01:14Your Honor, may we just manifest for the record that the CTRs do not have any total, Your Honor.
01:20It does not have any totals, and I can do that without the calculator.
01:23You just add the 20 times 4 plus 16.
01:27So, you're talking 96,852,832.94.
01:33There are two more accounts, Your Honor, mentioned by the witness.
01:36There's also the 41,721,000.
01:39Ah, it's not splashed on the screen.
01:43It's not on the screen.
01:46We're talking about this date only, correct?
01:48Yes, Your Honor.
01:49These are also…
01:50So, there's one more?
01:51There are two more, Your Honor.
01:52There's 41,721,035 pesos and 62 centavos.
01:58Ah, that one.
02:00All-in-one-day counsel.
02:01Yes, Your Honor.
02:06Do I compute pa po?
02:07Yes, please.
02:08Yes, please.
02:09Ah, I'm sorry.
02:09May 41 pa po na attorney, 155, di ko na kaya.
02:13Yes, ma'am.
02:43Yes, ma'am.
03:16That's what you testified earlier.
03:19Yes, Your Honor.
03:20Yes, Your Honor.
03:21Both withdrawals, deposits, and or transfers.
03:25All three.
03:26The code po is CTRIA, inter-account transfer po.
03:35CTRIA po means inter-account transfer.
03:41So, this is a movement of funds from one account to another client's account within the same bank.
03:47Within the same bank?
03:48Yes, Your Honor.
03:49But different transactions?
03:52Different…
03:54Yes, Your Honor.
03:54They have different transaction codes.
03:56So, they are different, treated as unique transactions.
03:58Okay.
03:59Okay.
03:59Attorney May, you're with me.
04:00Canino po bang accounts ang involved?
04:02Diyan sa mga transactions na yan.
04:04Yes, sir.
04:06Yes, sir.
04:19Your Honor, again.
04:21Sorry, Attorney Beneventura.
04:23While he's looking, yes, Attorney General.
04:25But again, Your Honor, they're already presenting an aggregate total in their presentation, Your Honor, particularly PowerPoint presentation.
04:37I'd just like to manifest, Your Honor, that the CTRs do not indicate any aggregate total or grad total for
04:42that matter because it creates a perception, Your Honor, whether it's correct or wrong.
04:47So maybe just ask, Your Honor, that this be taken down.
04:52Unfortunately, counsel, the court will allow it to stay because it's quite clear, given the intervention of the presiding officer,
04:59that these are unique accounts in one day.
05:04And he further explained that these are mere transfers from one account to another, but that these are unique transactions.
05:13So allow me, Attorney Ronell, so these are not double book transactions.
05:19These are unique transactions.
05:21As reported to us, Your Honor, because they have separate transaction reference numbers.
05:26So these are unique transactions.
05:27These are not...
05:28Based on records, I would say yes, Your Honor.
05:30Hindi pinasok at nilabas at binilang nyo ng dalawang beses.
05:34I would say no, Your Honor, based on the code that was used, Your Honor.
05:39So is it...
05:40Separate transaction reference.
05:49Your Honor, based onナaw for surfer, it says no, Your Honor.
