00:00Good morning, Attorney Benaventura.
00:01Good morning, Your Honor.
00:03All right.
00:04Just to provide the starting point,
00:06the AMLC cannot conclude through a mere reading
00:09of the covered transaction reports or CTRs
00:12and suspicious transaction reports or STRs
00:16that funds were sourced from any unlawful activity.
00:20Correct?
00:22Conclude?
00:23Yes, Your Honor.
00:24Only based on what's provided in the records, Your Honor.
00:26Now, you submitted a report of CTRs and STRs for corporations, correct?
00:34That is correct, Your Honor.
00:35To name a few, Gencorp Industries Incorporated,
00:39Metro City Chow Foods Corporation,
00:42and Kale 88 Foods Corporation, correct?
00:46Your Honor, may I be allowed to check with my records?
00:49My continuing authority is granted to Attorney Ronel
00:53to refer to his documents during his testimony.
00:59Likewise, continuing authority to assisting councils from both sides,
01:03both parties, is given to approach the witness at any point in time.
01:09Your Honor, can you repeat po?
01:11Yung corporation's mention.
01:12I just mentioned several Gencorp Industries, kasama po dyan.
01:16Metro City Chow.
01:17Yes, Your Honor.
01:18And then, Kale 88 Foods Corporation.
01:21Yes, Your Honor.
01:21In fact, lahat naman po yung corporation,
01:23wala naman po ibang entities na partnerships.
01:26Tama po?
01:26Tama po.
01:26Alright.
01:27Now,
01:27Hindi ko po ma-determine, Your Honor,
01:30if there are partnerships or corporations.
01:33I can't recall if it's indicated in the records, Your Honor.
01:37Alright.
01:38Okay.
01:38Now,
01:39the AMLC merely received the CTRs and STRs from the banks and other covert corporations,
01:48correct?
01:49Tama po.
01:50Covert persons po.
01:51And then,
01:51after you received them,
01:53you summarized them in your reports.
01:55Tama po.
02:02Tama po.
