[0:00] Your Honor, can we ask permission to scan the whole notebook, Your Honor?
[0:06] Or at least the salient portions of the notebook, Your Honor?
[0:10] To look at it, to scan it, to see that even...
[0:14] Baka may mga nakasulat na iba dyan na wala nang kinalaman.
[0:17] Just to confirm that it is indeed his notes with respect...
[0:20] What is the book you are referring to or notebook you are referring to, Attorney Matibag?
[0:25] Mr. Presiding Officer, actually, diary kumuto at saka notes, eh.
[0:29] Combination. So, kung makikita naman po, wala pa noon.
[0:31] Iba't iba pong nakasulat dito, may mga personal po, may mga usapin.
[0:37] Ito lamang pong notes ko na to, nakatoon dun sa date kung saan po nagkaroon na ng investigation po yung administrative order number 11.
[0:45] Then just the salient portions of the...
[0:47] Your Honor, just for the record, we would like to invoke the right of the witness to refer to his notes
[0:53] because that note pertains to investigation notes which were prepared, done, written
[1:00] at the time of the investigation, Your Honor.
[1:02] That is to refresh his memory, Your Honor.
[1:05] No, the presiding officer already allowed it.
[1:07] Counsel for the respondent, your assisting counsel is there.
[1:11] Without necessarily scanning the whole notebook, which might contain other confidential or perhaps personal information,
[1:19] He may observe what the witness is referring to, and you may make your observations known to the record
[1:28] should he observe something out of the ordinary.
[1:32] Witness, may answer?
[1:33] Your Honor, ang timestamp po dun sa sinabi kong gusto kong tanggalin yung ulo niya ba is from 135.57 to 136.10 po.
[1:44] Your Honor, may we request that the video of the Vice President on October 18, 2024 during her press conference
[1:55] previously marked as P-411, particularly timestamp 135.57 to 136.10 be played, Your Honor.
[2:06] Has the USB seal been broken by the witness?
[2:15] If not, witness is instructed to kindly break the seal of the marked evidence in full view of the assisting counsels for the parties thereafter
[2:26] for the USB to be brought to the tech booth, and the Clerk of Court is instructed to have it played
[2:34] with respect to the identified timestamps of Director Matibag.
[2:38] Anggalin yung ulo niya ba?
[3:39] Mr. Witness, napanood mo ang video.
[3:49] The video is still playing, I believe, lead prosecutor. Unless you want it cut already.
[3:57] It may be cut, Your Honor.
[3:59] I'm sorry? Do you want...
[4:00] It may be cut, Your Honor.
[4:02] The timestamp is only 135.57 to 136.10.
[4:10] Mr. Witness, napanood mo ang video?
[4:13] Ano ang kaugnayan nito sa insidente yung tinukoy mo kanina
[4:17] kung saan sinabi ng vice-presidente, gusto kong tanggalin ang ulo niya ba?
[4:23] That is the same video that I was referring to.
[4:27] Kanina, Mr. Witness, binanggit mo din na may sinabi ang vice-presidente,
[4:32] I imagine myself cutting his head.
[4:37] Anong partikular na bahagi naman ng video na iyong tinukoy
[4:41] ang tumutukoy sa sinabing ito ng vice-presidente kung iyong nalalaman?
[4:47] Again, Mr. Presiding Officer may be allowed to look for the...
[4:52] Witness may do so.
[4:54] Thank you po.
[4:55] Timestamp 136.52 po to timestamp 136.58.
[5:02] Your Honor, may we request that the same video be played,
[5:06] particularly timestamp 136.52 to 136.58.
[5:12] Pertaining to the same exhibit council?
[5:14] Yes, Your Honor. Same exhibit P411.
[5:17] Tech is instructed through the clerk of court to kindly play the video.
[5:21] I imagine myself cutting his head.
[5:30] Mr. Witness, napanood mo ang video.
[5:32] Ano ang kaugnayan nito sa insidente yung tinukoy mo kanina
[5:36] kung saan sinabi ng vice-presidente,
[5:38] I imagine myself cutting his head.
[5:41] Yan din po yung video ang aking tinutukoy.
[5:44] Mr. Witness, kanina ay binanggit mo ang insidente
[5:48] ng Mayor Sebastian Duterte.
[5:51] Kaninong ulo ang kailangan nila kung iyong nalalaman?
[5:58] Jickson, as an answer, Your Honor.
[6:00] As an answer, move on, counsel.
[6:03] Binanggit mo din ang video ni Vice President Sarah Duterte.
[6:10] Mr. Witness, kaninong ulo ang gustong tanggalin?
[6:14] Jickson, as an answer, Your Honor.
[6:17] Move on, counsel.
[6:18] As an answer, the court understands and knows who said
[6:21] the Vice President was referring to in that video.
[6:24] Thank you, Your Honor.
[6:25] We will proceed.
[6:27] Ano ang obserbasyon mo dito sa video ni Mayor Sebastian Duterte
[6:33] at sa video ni Vice President Sarah Duterte,
[6:37] kaugnay ng imbestigasyon ng Special Task Force kung mayroon man?
[6:42] Objection vague, Your Honor.
[6:43] Ano ang obserbasyon mo?
[6:44] Kindly be more specific, counsel.
[6:48] Although the witness is competent,
[6:50] kindly be more specific so that the witness
[6:52] can more intelligently answer the question.
[6:55] Mr. Witness, anong koneksyon kung mayroon man
[6:59] ang video ni Mayor Sebastian Duterte
[7:02] at ang video ni Vice President Sarah Duterte
[7:06] sa kasalukuyang imbestigasyon ng Special Task Force?
[7:10] Kung mayroon man at kung iyong nalalaman.
[7:13] Objection, Your Honor.
[7:13] Are still vague and as unanswered?
[7:16] Witness may answer if he knows that we can move on.
[7:19] Director Matibag, kindly respond.
[7:21] Thank you.
[7:22] Kapansin-pansin po na makikita natin
[7:26] na nanggagaling sa isang pamilya
[7:28] ang pagbabanta sa ating Pangulo
[7:29] at parehas na nag-refer sa ulo ng Pangulo.
[7:34] Kung kaya naman,
[7:35] iniisip po ba namin kung mayroon bang kasabwat
[7:38] o may sabwatan sa pangyayaring ito
[7:40] sapagkat gaya po ng aking binanggit
[7:42] na noong November 23,
[7:45] binanggit po ng ating BPC Presidente
[7:47] na mayroon na siyang kinausap
[7:49] para pumatay sa ating Pangulo
[7:51] at pumayag siya.
[7:53] Kaya ito po ang aming tinututukan
[7:55] sa task force na aming tinatag.
[7:57] Objection, Your Honor.
[7:58] We would have to object as to
[8:01] the answer being non-responsive
[8:04] and we would like to move,
[8:07] Your Honor, that it be expunged
[8:08] from the records.
[8:09] Your Honor, the witness
[8:10] has answered already
[8:12] and that should form part
[8:13] of the transcript
[8:14] of our trial today.
[8:17] Then we move to strike it off, Your Honor.
[8:18] The objection is overruled
[8:20] and the motion to strike is denied.
[8:22] Let it remain in the records
[8:23] for the appreciation
[8:24] of the senator judges
[8:25] as to the weight they will give
[8:27] that particular part
[8:30] of the witness's testimony.
[8:32] We will submit, Your Honor.
