00:00The Chair, after conversing again with the Senator Judges, instead of putting the appeal to a vote, will instead yield
00:10to the appeal of Senator Judge Soto, sans a vote among the Senator Judges.
00:18So, tulad ng sinabi ko, wag niyo kong hamuning umuwi ng maaga.
00:23This is what we will do. We shall call an early lunch recess.
00:30May konti po akong handa din kasi magbabirthday ako sa weekend para mas mahaba yung lunch ninyo.
00:43And when we will be having session at 1, we will call session at 1 o'clock.
00:49We will most likely be finished by 2.30 or 2.
00:53And we shall be resuming session at 2.30 or 3 because we have to rearrange the tables.
01:01After which, we will call on the parties again.
01:08Kindly tell us, Honorable Redon, if Attorney Irwin is available or not, and if someone else can stand in stead
01:16to present the BIR witness who has been with us for 3 days, I believe.
01:29If Attorney Irwin is not available and you do not wish to present the witness using another counsel, then we
01:36will call it, as I said,
01:38an early day for today.
01:41And we will hopefully be able to present the BIR witness tomorrow with or without Attorney Irwin as the first
01:51witness thereafter,
01:53Attorney Cabrera, and your other witnesses thereafter, Kung Haabot.
02:01Is that satisfactory to the Honorable Soto, given that we're not voting on the appeal anymore?
02:07I see him giving a thumbs up sign and not raising his hand to speak.
02:12So ordered.
02:14So, yes, Attorney Sheila.
02:16We thank this court, Your Honor, for considering our predicaments, Your Honor. Thank you.
02:23Nakombinsi mo, Attorney Sheila, si Senator Judge Soto.
02:26Thank you, sir.
02:28Again, we pause for early lunch, enjoy lunch, and we shall see each other at 2.30 slash 3 p
02:36.m. this afternoon.
02:37Trial is in recess.
