Well, kausap ko po..."
[0:00] Sir, noong May 13, you were recorded as saying,
[0:06] Katunayan, nakiusap nga po ako kay John Konsulta,
[0:09] napuntahan kami dito sa Sikoya Hotel,
[0:11] dahil meron po kaming planning mula po pa kaninang umaga,
[0:16] and you went on to say,
[0:17] nandun ka with all the deputy directors, etc.
[0:19] Do you confirm?
[0:21] Well, kausap ko po si John Konsulta, except...
[0:23] No, just confirm, sir. Did you say that?
[0:25] Nandun kayo sa Sikoya.
[0:26] Hindi yun lang.
[0:27] Statement.
[0:28] Haba po kasi yung statement niyo.
[0:29] I just need you to confirm, did you say that you were in Sikoya?
[0:32] Yes, I talked to...
[0:33] Thank you.
[0:34] So you are confirming?
[0:35] Yes po.
[0:36] And then later on, dinagdag niyo,
[0:38] wala kami sa Senado, we are on stand down because that's the instructions.
[0:41] Did you also say that?
[0:42] Yes po.
[0:43] Thank you.
[0:47] Meanwhile, in another interview, you then said,
[0:51] mayroon request si GM Veloso to help them secure the area
[0:54] kasi napapansin nila na magulol, labas pasok.
[0:58] So, nagpadala kaming ilan lang na ahente, parang 4 to 6 na tao,
[1:03] na nag-iikot sa premises ng GIS, hindi pumasok sa Senado.
[1:07] I am quoting, inquirer dated 13 May 2026.
[1:11] Did you say this?
[1:12] Yes, sa GSIS po.
[1:14] Okay, thank you.
[1:15] So, I ask now for the kind indulgence.
[1:18] May papa-flash lang ako.
[1:19] It's just a photo, dear colleagues, both parties.
[1:22] Pakiflash lang.
[1:25] So, sabi niyo nasa GSIS.
[1:27] You confirm na nasa GSIS yung ahente mo.
[2:02] Pwede magpa-update sa technical, what's going on.
[2:04] It's just a photo.
[2:11] I'm just showing the Senate website for the record.
[2:15] Senate website.
[2:16] Tapos po, nandito po sa right corner.
[2:19] Can you read it, sir?
[2:21] It says contact information.
[2:22] Can you read it?
[2:23] Hindi ko po mga kapabasya.
[2:24] Okay, paabot ko sa page.
[2:25] Yung same thing.
[2:27] It is just the Senate website.
[2:29] Page, pakiabot.
[2:30] Thank you.
[2:33] Pakibasa lang po yung address ng Senado.
[2:35] Contact information, GSIS building, JW Jocno building, Pasay City, 1300 Metro Manila, 632-8555.
[2:54] Okay na po yung phone number, no need.
[2:56] So, pakiulit, ano hong building?
[2:59] GSIS building.
[3:00] Opo, kasi nag-iisa lang naman ho ang address namin.
[3:03] Muupak po kami dito sa GSIS.
[3:05] Iisang building lang ho po yun.
[3:06] And for the record, kung saan nakita yung tao mo, likod lang po yun ng office ni Sen. Loren Legarda.
[3:13] Nasa video po yun.
[3:14] I will not bother everyone with that.
[3:16] Kung gusto nyo, presiding officer, I can, but for now, I won't.
[3:19] Kasama po yun sa area na inuupahan ng Senado sa GSIS.
[3:24] We are paying rent for the information of all.
[3:27] So, yan po ang gusto ko lang ma-establish.
[3:29] It seems kasi po na you swore an oath, no, to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
[3:40] Is that correct?
[3:41] Yes po.
[3:41] Thank you very much.
[3:43] So, sa kaalaman po ng ating mga nanonood at masigasing na tagasubaybay ng mga kababayan natin,
[3:49] Rule 133 on the weight and sufficiency of evidence.
[3:53] Sabisa section 1, preponderance of evidence, in determining where the preponderance or superior weight of evidence on the issues involved lies,
[4:03] the court may consider all the facts and circumstances of the case, the witness's manner of testifying, their intelligence, and also their personal credibility.
[4:12] Furthermore, in section 11 of Rule 132, a witness may be impeached by evidence that his or her general reputation for truth, honesty, or integrity is bad.
[4:28] So, nag-ring na yung bell.
[4:29] I will be a loyal, I will follow this na lang, pero may record pa sana akong papakita.
[4:34] If the body wants, I will show the video na sinabi din po ni NBI Director in an interview,
[4:40] wala pong nasaktan, wala pong nangbogbog, but we have a video, alam po ng lahat ng mga kasamahan natin na yung osaa,
[4:46] yung aming pong personnel, e binugbog.
[4:48] May video po tayo niyan.
[4:50] I leave it to the body, I leave it to the presiding officer if we want to take up the time of this court to show that.
[4:55] Yun lang po, maraming salamat.
[4:57] Thank you, Senator Judge Pia Cayetano.
