00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Return of investment daw ito. Ayaw sa testigo. Nakatutog si Sandra Aguinaldo.
01:00Sa Gencorp, magamat shareholder siya ng Metro Chow mula 2022 hanggang 2025.
01:07Pero inamin ni Atty. Suzette Balokanag-Punay na merong tinanggap na pera ang bisi mula sa Gencorp na nakakahalaga ng
01:142.41 million pesos.
01:17Paliwanag niya, ibinalik umano ng Gencorp ang investment ng bisi sa kumpanyang Davao Bounty.
01:23Ang Gencorp kasi daw ang nagtuloy sa binalak na fast food business ng Davao Bounty.
01:29She has a loose investment in the Jollibee Times Square branch.
01:35Because before Jollibee Times Square started its operations, there was a corporation, which is Davao Bounty Times Food Corporation.
01:51Which, where Vice President was a stockholder.
01:56And this corporation was supposed to be the one to operate Jollibee Times Square branch.
02:02But it did not materialize.
02:05So another corporation commenced the operations of that certain branch.
02:10The same loose investment is now carried over to Gencorp.
02:14Sa pagdini, lumaba sa cross-examination na P46,000 pesos lang umano ang investment ng bisi sa Gencorp.
02:22Kung gayon, tanong ng prosecution, bakit daw mahigit 2 million pesos ang umanay binalik ng Gencorp kay Duterte?
02:29Hindi na po ito return of investment.
02:33Return on investment na po ito.
02:37Return of investment, hindi po ba?
02:40Ginamit nyo kasi ganina, return of investment eh.
02:43Binalik yung ininvest.
02:46Binalik yung kapital lang.
02:48Return on investment, may kita na yung kapital.
02:52Kasi nga, yung binibinayaran lang ng Vice President ayon sa dokumento ay 48,000 sa Davao Bounty.
03:00Maliba na lang kung may alam pa kayo at masasabing iba pang investment ng Vice President na binabalik.
03:06Hindi ko nga po alam kung meron.
03:08Whether it be a return on investment or a return of investment, it is still income.
03:19Correct?
03:21Yes.
03:23Argumento ng prosecution, labag sa saligang batas na magkaroon ng iba pang source of income ang Vice bukod sa sweldo
03:30niya.
03:30Ang depensa naman, ibinangga ang mga sinabi ni Punay sa report ng ipinresentang forensic expert ng prosecution
03:37na nagsabing nasa 20% umano ang interes ni VP sa Gencorp at bahigit 200 million pesos umano ang maaring
03:46undeclared income niya mula dito.
03:48Pero sabi ni Punay, mali ito.
03:50If we add 20% because according to the forensic report, Sarah has 20%, then the amount paid will be
04:031.5 million.
04:04So it is, I do not know where to put it, sorry.
04:10And what do you call that situation?
04:11It's absurd.
04:13Absurd based on what, Your Honor?
04:16Absurd is again a conclusion.
04:19It is a conclusion of fact, conclusion of law, and more than that, it is an opinion.
04:23I can also say that her testimony is absurd.
04:27It's badgering our witness, Your Honor.
04:29Matatandaan sa mga dokumento mula sa Securities and Exchange Commission na ipiniresenta ng prosecution sa Korte,
04:36nakalista si VP Sarah bilang direktor at member ng Compensation Committee ng Metro Chao.
04:42Pero para sa Gencorp, wala raw itong anumang posisyon.
04:45Wala din umano itong partisipasyon sa mga meeting at operasyon ng negosyo ng Gencorp at Metro Chao.
04:51Nailis talang umano si Duterte sa Compensation Committee dahil sa isang pagkakamalik.
04:57He only created Compensation Committee to be compliant with bank regulations.
05:05Yes ma'am.
05:05So that is a misrepresentation.
05:09Not a misrepresentation but it is an error.
05:12It is an error.
05:14What is the difference between an error and a misrepresentation?
05:19It is an honest mistake ma'am on the accounting staff that prepared the GIS.
05:25And there is no intention to misrepresent that the Vice President is a member of the Compensation Committee.
05:32Sandra Aguinaldo ng Katuto, 24 Horas.
05:37Kahit si impeachment court presiding ng Officer Cheese Escudero, ipinagtataka kung bakit tumanggap ng pera si Vice President Sara Duterte
05:46mula sa Gencorp,
05:48gayong hindi naman siya bahagi ng kumpanya.
05:51Kaya hiniling na Escudero na magsumiti ang depensa ng mga dokumentong magpapaliwanag kung para saan ang pera ibinigay kay Duterte.
06:00Lumabas kasi sa testimonya kanina ng in-house counsel ng Gencorp na tumanggap si Duterte ng halos dalawa at kalahating
06:09milyong piso bilang return of investment daw na 46,000 pesos.
06:15Pinagbabawal sa saligang batas.
06:17Ang pagkakaroon ng isang opisyal ng iba pang source of income bukod sa kanyang sahod.
06:23Sabi ni Atty. Michael Poa, ang spokesperson ng defense panel, limitado ang kaalaman ng abugado ng Gencorp kaya maghaharap sila
06:33ng ibang testigo para masagot ang mga tanong.
06:39This is quite a serious allegation, ma'am, from a different perspective.
06:43The vice president, during different times in her career, was a public officer.
06:48So why would she be receiving monies from a private corporation that she has no interest in?
06:57Hindi po ba?
06:58Yung period na in question, dala niyo po yung sa accountant, yung 22 to 2025.
07:03Sa witness, siyempre limited lang naman yung kaalaman niya.
07:07So meron siyang limits sa kanyang testimonya.
07:10As I manifested earlier, we will present a witness, the appropriate witness at the appropriate time para ma-fill in
07:19kung ano man yung mga naging tanong ng ating mga butihing senator judges kanina.
