#VPOnTrial Day 43 RECAP: Impeachment court Presiding Officer Francis "Chiz" Escudero on Thursday, Nov. 12, reminded fellow senator-judges and panel members, to exercise restraint when dealing with testimonies made by witnesses, even if such answers may be perceived as frustrating.

Prior to the calling of witnesses, the impeachment court allowed Senator-Judge Robin Padilla to ask questions to the prosecution and defense panels, due to his absence in the last few days.

The court then went on to call defense witness Atty. Anel Martin Antero, to testify on the circumstances surrounding the credit card charge, allegedly amounting to P200,000 bill in a single meal with Vice President Sara Duterte's spouse, Atty. Manases Carpio, in a Japanese restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

Later on, another witness Chadrin Parian takes over the witness stand, in order to prove the circumstances behind the P250,882.50 worth of expensive Nike shoes, in relation to a basketball tournament in Malaysia. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:00I wish to also remind the counsel for both parties, as well as our fellow senator judges,
00:05including this representation, that while we may rigorously examine witnesses and test
00:11the credibility of their testimonies, we must refrain from resorting to a manner of questioning
00:16or to making declarations that elicit fear rather than candor.
00:22The chair therefore respectfully requests our distinguished colleagues, the counsels for the parties,
00:30including this representation, to exercise restraint expected of us.
00:36Problema po ba yun pagka hindi mo matandaan kung saan ka nagpunta sa China?
00:41Yung pagtatulong patungkol po sa China ay bahagi po ng pagkatetest ng kredibilidad po ng testigo.
00:47Wala naman nung usapin kung naging maagap yung po ng testigo na city assessor
00:52doon po sa pagsasagot po ng mga tanong patungkol po sa biyahe po sa China.
00:56Pero in very several instances, yung pong mismong mga honorable senator judges pa ho,
01:03yung nagbibigay ng dagdag informasyon, halimbawa yung pong pagpuntang Beijing
01:07at pag uwi mula sa Shanghai, doon lang po siya umamin doon sa mga particular pong detalyeng ito.
01:13Wala naman po sana nga debate kung agad-agad inamin ho mismo.
01:17So wala pong issue kare doon, na wala naman issue kapag nanggaling ka ng China.
01:27Yung pong pagpunta wala ho, pero ang malaki usapin po.
01:30Yung nakalimutan, gano'n?
01:32Hindi ho nagiging parang matapat.
01:34Magsisinungaling po ba kayo para kay Manasis Arcarpio?
01:37I took an oath as a witness and as a lawyer.
01:41Hindi po ako magsisinungaling.
01:43Magsisinungaling po ba kayo para kay Sarah Z. Duterte?
01:46Hindi rin po.
01:47No further questions.
01:48When you discover the amount that you are supposed to pay, 200,000 pesos for a single meal,
01:59naalala po, you said, ikaw mismo ay nagulat.
02:04Mr. Witness, yung tanong, ano po yung nakakagulat in spending 200,000 pesos for a single meal?
02:22Nagulat po ako, personally, dahil hindi naman po namin hini-expect na gano'n po kamahal yung babayaran po namin.
02:30Yan po ang mga sapatos na nakikita natin, yun po.
02:34Yes po.
02:35Lampas po ng sampu yan.
02:37Lampas po ng labing isa.
02:39Yes po.
02:40Tama po.
02:40At kung lumalabas kung 256,000, ang sinasabi yung sasampu yung miyembro,
02:50o 11 yung miyembro, 23,000 bawat bata na sapatos.
02:55Parang hindi yata nagtutugma yun.
03:00Ito po ba ay isang example ng simple at payak na pamumuhay?
03:07Maglibre ka ng sapatos ng lahat ng tao dyan?
03:11Prosecution, I'm warning you.
03:14I will not hide my disdain.
03:16I will not.
03:17I cannot.
03:19I cannot.
03:20Is it the prosecution's intention to make a parent relinquish their parental duty
03:31in terms of rearing their child in the way, in the manner they feel is the best
03:36to promote character, leadership, teamwork, just because one of the parent becomes a public official?
03:49That's not our point, Your Honor.
03:51The point is, Your Honor, our laws specifically states the appropriate manner a public official
03:59is supposed to conduct himself or herself.
04:01Yes.
04:01And I heard that, sir.
04:04And that's what we're raising here, Your Honor.
04:07Yes, sir.
04:08We have no quarrel about a parent supporting a child's inclination for sports.
04:15Thank you, sir.
04:16And to support sports development.
04:32You
