‘KAMI, NAPIPIKON NA’

Senator-judge Raffy Tulfo called out Davao City accountant Vingelin Bajan for being evasive after she spent several minutes identifying whether a signature on a document was hers during Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Tulfo warned Bajan that she could be cited for contempt if she kept delaying her answer to what he called a simple question. Bajan apologized and said she was just trying to remember because the document was old. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:00Kami, napipiko na, you've been very evasive to a very simple question.
00:07She's no longer part of it, but she used to be part of it.
00:11I think she's competent to answer.
00:15Ms. Ivan, wala namang pong sinasabi si Attorney May na may ginawa kayong illegal per se.
00:22Wala po namang kayo ni Alabag na Batas kung naging bahagi kayo niyan.
00:25Yes po, nag-rewind lang po ako, nag-memory ko po kasi matagal na po ito yung honor.
00:33Hingi ako ng paumanhin, Ms. Ivana, kung naging bahagi ka ng isang accounting firm, accountant po kayo,
00:40mahirap naman po siguro makaligtaan niyan sa profesional niyong karera.
00:44So forgive me, Senator Judge Rafi.
00:46Thank you, Mr. President, officer.
00:49Alam mo, natatakot ako para sa'yo kasi napakasimple lamang katalungan
00:54and you've been very evasive at hindi mo masagot-sagot.
00:57Yung katanungan lang kung signature mo yun o hindi, hindi mo masagot-sagot.
01:02Paano pa kaya mamaya?
01:04I'm sure maraming mga hard questions.
01:06Kung tawagin kudigra, you know what is kudigra?
01:09It means yung mga katanungan na talagang the final blow, ika nga.
01:13Paano pag, kung ngayong pangalan sa signature pa lamang,
01:16hindi mo kayong sagutin yun pa kayong mga mahihirap na katanungan later on.
01:20Baka makontempt ka.
01:23Sana wag kami, napipiko na.
01:27You've been very evasive to a very simple question.
01:32Patingin-tingin ka pa sa mga pages.
01:34Nanandang masarap mo yung signature mo.
01:36All you need to do is tell the lawyer asking the question,
01:41yes, that's my signature, or no, that's not my signature.
01:44Ito may tingin-tingin ka ng mga different pages na walang kinalaman sa picture mo.
01:47Sorry po, Your Honor.
01:48Ina-refresh ko lang po kasi matagal na po ito.
01:51Ma'am, ako alam ko ang signature ko sa bignan tingin ko.
01:56Ngayon, kung hindi ka sigurado,
01:57all you can tell us is, hindi akong pumirma niyan,
02:01pinaki yung pirma ko, or, that's my signature,
02:05or, I cannot remember.
02:08Ganun lang, na I signed that.
02:10Tatlo lang.
02:10Yes, for your honor.
02:11Pinatatagal mo, humahabang oras natin.
02:14Please don't be very evasive.
02:15Sa ngayon, very simple question lang yun, ha.
02:18Mamaya, I'm sure, marami pa mga mahirap na katanungan.
02:22Baka abutin tayo haking madaling araw,
02:24mapipikong kami, baka makontem ka.
02:26Sorry po, Your Honor.
02:28Thank you, Mr. Presiding Officer.
