Manila Bulletin

'INAADMIT MO NA NA IKAW AY NAG-BYAHE NG CHINA?'  Senator-judge Raffy Tulfo questioned the travel records of Davao City Assessor Engr. Jaime Adalin, saying some trips appeared inconsistent with the witness's monthly salary.  Adalin initially denied a travel record dated Nov. 25, but Tulfo insisted that he had CCTV footage confirming the trip. The witness later admitted that he had traveled to China.
