‘HINDI KO NA PO MA-RECALL’

Senator-judge Risa Hontiveros pressed Davao City Assessor Engr. Jaime Adalin, who facilitated and accompanied Davao City officials during their trips to Beijing and Shanghai in January.

Adalin said he was certain they traveled to China but could no longer recall who arranged or guided them. He insisted it was a personal trip. Hontiveros asked how he could forget the details, noting that travel authorities had records of their arrival in Beijing and return to Manila from Shanghai. She also asked if Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte was with them, but Adalin said he was not. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:04I don't recall, but what I am sure is that is a personal trouble, Your Honor.
00:12Do you know whether you went to China in January 2026?
00:21Can I ask you to inquire from our admin?
00:27Yes, yes.
00:30But to confirm, because you didn't answer the question earlier, I found the data that I found.
00:39So, I found the information that on January 25, you have been from Manila to Beijing.
00:48You are correct.
00:49I am correct.
00:50I am correct.
00:51And then...
00:52Sir?
00:53Na-verify na po kasi ninyo siguro?
00:55Ano sir?
00:56Na-verify na po ba?
00:58Hindi pa nga verified.
00:59Wala kayong sinabi sa akin na pwede kong i-verify.
01:02Ito po ay informasyon na niresearch na lang po namin.
01:05Okay.
01:06January 30 naman po, lumipad kayo PR 339 mula Shanghai, pabalik dito sa Manila.
01:13So, naalala nyo na po ba na pumunta kayong Beijing at Shanghai noong January ngayong taon?
01:21Most probably your honor.
01:23Sir.
01:24Kanina, may pumansin din na lagi yung ginagamit yung salitang most probably.
01:29Unbelievable na makarating sa isang great capital tulad ng Beijing at isang magandang sudad tulad ng Shanghai at di nyo
01:37maalala.
01:38Just for the record.
01:40So, sino po ang nagdala sa inyo sa Beijing at sino po ang naghatid sa inyo pa uwi galing Shanghai?
01:52Honestly, I'm very sure your honor na pumunta kami.
01:55But on sino po ang nag-facilitate, sino ang nag-guide, hindi ko na po ma-recall.
02:04But what I am sure is that is a personal travel your honor.
02:09Sir, kung alam ng travel authorities natin na tumating kayong Beijing and then mula Shanghai bumalik kayong Manila, you must
02:19have.
02:20Unless may doppelganger po kayo dito sa Pilipinas hanggang sa China.
02:24Si Mayor Baste, tuterte ba ang nagsama sa inyo, sa engineering head nyo, sa treasury head nyo dito sa Beijing
02:38at sa Shanghai noong January?
02:40Hindi po kasama ang aming Mayor Baste.
02:43Alright. Sino yung highest ranking na official na kasama nyo sa trip na iyon?
02:49Ang ma-recall ko po ang aming city administrator.
02:52City administrator ang highest ranking and then the rest ay kayo pong mga department heads kasama na po kayo.
03:00Sige po, ilang huling mga tanong lamang tungkol sa i-re-request ko pong dokumentong maisumite nyo sa korte sa
03:10pamamagitan ng presiding officer.
03:12Kanina po sinabi nyo naman na computerized na po ang sistema sa Davao City. Tama po?
03:17Yes, Your Honor.
03:18Alright. Kung ganun, since computerized naman din po, siguro naman madaling i-check kung may iba pang mga properties si
03:26Attorney Man Scarpio sa Davao City.
03:28Kaya nyo pong i-check within today or even within the hour. Tama po ba?
03:35Pwede naman po siguro i-request namin yung aming records officer.
03:40Yes. Paki-request at engineer ang inyong records office or records officer i-furnish ang impeachment court nitong mga impormasyon
03:50kung ano po lahat ang mga properties ni Attorney Carpio sa Davao City.
03:55Maari po ba, engineer?
03:57Yes, I will request one.
03:59Yes, and please ask them to submit to the court within this hour at the latest within the day.
04:05Thank you, Your Honor.
04:07Thank you, Senator.
04:07Thank you, Senator Judge Jason. What is the pleasure...
04:12Thank you, Sen. четыrebros.
