Imee Marcos, House prosecutor clash over witness subpoena ‘typo’ errors

[0:00] The question of the Honorable Marcos is on page 6, paragraph 14. [0:05] You said you sent a subpoena on November 6, 2024. [0:10] Unfortunately, because the annexes are not part of the document marked, it's not here. [0:14] So the question is quite clear. [0:17] If it's a mistake, then what is the correct date of the subpoena? [0:21] If I can see the real subpoena, your honor. [0:23] Can you talk to the mic, please? [0:25] Yeah. [0:26] If I can see the real subpoena, your honor, because the subpoena was signed by our assistant director for investigation service. [0:33] As I said, unfortunately, it was not attached to your affidavit. [0:37] And I doubt if it's one of those marked or pre-marked by the Council for Prosecutors. [0:43] As he said and admitted earlier, he did not or they did not mark all of the annexes in your affidavit. [0:49] Yes, your honor. If I may, check ko lang po, your honor, para sigurado po. [0:54] Wala sa'yo ngayon. [0:56] Inaanap ko po rito. [0:58] Wala nga pong annex yan. [0:59] Wala sa annex at wala rin sa affidavit. [1:02] Kasi yung mga media na tinutukoy sa ibang pahina ay yung mga nag-interview nung Zoom conference. [1:09] Dito ho yung certified through copy daw, your honor. [1:13] If I may, your honor, please. [1:15] Can I assist on this regard if the court will allow? [1:18] Only if you can produce a copy of the November 6 subpoena council. [1:22] Exactly, your honor. [1:23] The documents are present. [1:25] They are in the possession at present of the witness, your honor, please. [1:28] They may not have been physically attached to the affidavit investigation, but they do exist in the records of the case. [1:38] A separate pre-marked document, your honor, please. [1:42] So it's here. [1:44] Presiding officer then. [1:46] Then is counsel saying that therefore the affidavit is defective or wrongful? [1:51] And that November 6 is not the right date, what then is the right date to the subpoena to ABS? [1:57] With all due respect, we object to the use of the term defective. [2:05] Counsel, we shall know. [2:06] Wait, let the document speak for itself. [2:08] Yes, your honor, please. [2:09] If it's there. [2:10] The witness is now in the process. [2:11] Yes, it was the witness who said that it was a mistake, not me. [2:14] I know. [2:15] It doesn't make the entire affidavit of investigation defective. [2:18] No, I merely said the date was wrong, because that's what he said. [2:22] Yes, your honor. [2:29] It's just been brought to my attention that, in fact, presiding officer, two documents were issued on November 6. [2:37] Not only the subpoena to ABS-CBN, but further, the affidavit of investigation regarding the October 18 press con. [2:47] Can we please be clarified as to these two documents which don't seem to appear in the affidavit nor in the annexes provided? [2:56] Let's first wait for the witness to answer the first question, Senator Judge Marcos. [3:01] Yes, Attorney Lutok. [3:02] If I may, your honor, ito ho, ang Sabina, Duchis-Taycom, yung date ho ng appearance niya is December 11. [3:12] Appearance po, ang tinatanong yung date ng Sabina. [3:15] Date ng Sabina, your honor, is 6th day of November 2024, which I believe this is a typo, kasi magkakasunod ho ito doon sa mga inisyuan namin na media personalities. [3:28] Attorney Lutok, typo na yung affidavit mo, typo pa yung Sabina? [3:31] Hindi po. [3:33] What are you looking at, the Sabina or the Affidavit? [3:36] Dalawa yan eh. [3:37] What are you looking at, Attorney Lutok? [3:39] Sabina, your honor. [3:40] So the Sabina is dated November 6. [3:43] Okay, and the affidavit also is November 6. [3:47] Dalawang typo, carried over. [3:49] Asyan yung affidavit? [3:50] Hindi ko pa nakita, ma'am, yung affidavit na November 6. [3:52] Your affidavit says November 6. [3:54] Pwede patingin ako. [3:55] Yung Affidavit of Investigation mo na binigay, pati yung amended, carried over din. [4:01] Yung first draft na re-eject ng DOJ, yung ikalawa, parehong November 6, firmado ninyo eh. [4:15] Page 6, Council, paragraph 14 of his affidavit of investigation. [4:22] Yes, your honor. [4:28] It's November 6, 2024 ang nakasulat yan. [4:31] So typo din yan? [4:32] Is it your testimony na typo din yan? [4:34] I believe so, your honor. [4:36] Kasi ang intention namin yan is 11 December 2024. [4:41] Anyway, Senator Judge Marcos, the document, let the document speak for itself. [4:45] That would be the best evidence of, if at all, of the dates of either the subpoena and or the affidavit. [4:52] Yes, presiding officer, just to provide our witness a chance to correct himself for the documents. [4:58] Sa palagay mo, ano yung tamang date kung mali yung November 6? [5:03] Same ho, your honor, doon sa mga subpoena na inisyo namin sa media personalities. [5:09] Dapat magkakapareho. [5:11] Yes, magkakasunod po yun. [5:13] Okay, sige. [5:14] Maraming salamat. [5:16] Thank you very much, presiding officer. [5:18] Damang ang salamat.
