00:33Isa sa mga unang sinilip ng prosekusyon, ang Audit Observation Memorandum,
00:39kaugnay sa confidential funds ng DepEd noong first at second quarter noong 2023.
00:45May kabuang halaga ito na P75M.
00:49Ito ang provision na ito, dapat yung binayaran na reward ng gumamit ng pondo ng confidential fund,
00:59binayad ho yung reward na yun sa informer para ho dun sa information na binigay niya.
01:04Tama ho?
01:05That's my interpretation.
01:06Dito sa information na ito, nagkaroon ho ng success dun sa information gathering and or surveillance activities.
01:15Yung success na yan, dahil yan mismo sa information na kinuha sa informat.
01:20Generally, and I say generally, I'm not saying na hindi kailangan may correlation yung success dun sa,
01:30isusumiti mo na evidence of success, hindi kailangan may correlation.
01:35You're not saying that.
01:36I'm not saying that.
01:36But what I'm saying is, na hindi lahat ng informasyon na binibili sa aking pagkakaintindi,
01:43hindi naman lahat ng binibili mong information,
01:46ay necessarily magkakaroon ka kaagad ng success.
01:48Binalikan na prosekusyon ang mga nagdaang pagdinig ng House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,
01:56kung saan sinabi ni Powa na wala o mano siyang personal knowledge ukol sa mga confidential fund ng DepEd.
02:02Gint ni Powa, nagsimula lang ang kanyang partisipasyon sa confidential funds nang matanggap niya ang AOM ng COA.
02:12Sumagot ho kayo dito, dito sa Audit Observation Memorandum.
02:17Sumagot kayo.
02:19Kayo ho ang nag-file ng reply sa COA. Tama, sir?
02:23Tama po. April 17.
02:24Basically, you became involved in confidential funds of the DepEd only when you received the AOM.
02:32Dahil inaaral nyo na, tapos sa iyo yung sumagot ng reply. Tama po ba yun?
02:37Base rin sa kanyang testimonya, sinabi ni Powa na ang mga nakakaalam lang sa paggamit ng 15.5 million pesos
02:44na confidential funds
02:45ay ang vice-presidente at Lloyd Special Dismersing Officer Edward Fajarda.
02:51Tsaka na lang daw niya nalaman na may alam din sa confidential fund si Colonel Dennis Nolasco ng Vice Presidential
02:59Security and Protection Group.
03:01Madam Attorney Powa, lahat po ng ginawa nyo kaugnay sa pagsagot sa AOM ay nalalaman ng vice-presidente?
03:10Nalaman po niya, yes.
03:12When we got the AOM, syempre po, in-inform ko po siya that we got the AOM.
03:16And I informed her and asked for permission if I can coordinate with the SDO.
03:21And she said, okay.
03:22I came back to her and I briefed her on all of my answers to the AOM.
03:28And she just said, okay.
03:29Sinabi ng dalawang opisyal ng AFP na wala silang nakuha na confidential fund mula sa DepEd
03:35para sa kanilang mga aktibidad gaya ng Youth Leadership Summit.
03:39I'm sure you agree na wala hong binigay kahit piso ang Department of Education sa AFP
03:46para maisagawa itong mga Youth Leadership Summit nila.
03:53Yes sir, I confirm that.
03:54Sa testimonya ng dalawang sundalok, sinabi nila na nagbigay sila ng certification bilang patunay
04:00ng pakikilahok ng DepEd sa mga aktibidad, pero ginamit ito ng DepEd para sa kanilang liquidation, para sa confidential fund.
04:09The reason why you use this YSL certifications,
04:14ang words nyo, it was on the premise that whatever activity was conducted on the ground by the military
04:22was targeted because of information received from DepEd due to those rewards given out on the premise.
04:29Tama ko, sir, no?
04:29Yes sir, as stated in the documents.
04:31Yan din ang sinilip, dagilang Sen. Judge.
04:35Yung DepEd certification for youth summits, ginamit po na to justify daw ang OVP Confidential Fund usage.
04:44Sino o kaninong ideya itong cross-agency justification po?
04:49Sa totoo lang, and I'll be very honest with you,
04:52Noong humingi ako ng certifications, mas gusto ko talaga kung third party.
04:58Kasi kung mismong DepEd ang mag-certify para sa akin, hindi ko alam kung totoo o hindi eh.
05:05So, I wanted a third party.
05:07So, noong nakita ko yung AFP certifications na binigay sa akin ni Yusek Mempin,
05:12I relied on the certifications.
05:14But the Vice President never asked me to ask for the certifications or approve them.
05:19So, ang tanong ko po, ano po yung factual basis niyo for using those certifications to make that specific representation
05:25to COA?
05:26Yung naging basihan ko po doon, kasi when I received the certifications,
05:31obviously, sir, I did not consider them in isolation.
05:35Binasa ko lahat ng natanggap ko.
05:37Kasi syempre, kahit yung YLS, sa totoo lang, hindi ko naman alam yung YLS program na yun.
05:43So, nung binasa ko, kaya ko po na sabing, sige, isumitin natin ito.
05:48Dahil po doon sa mga linya that says that due to a synergistic exchange of intelligence and information,
05:55they were able to target areas where it will be held.
06:00So, yun po ang naging basihan ko bakit nasabi ko na, o sige, ito ang pwedeng ilakip to.
06:07But just to clarify, Your Honor, hindi lang po kasi AFP ang hiningan.
06:12In fact, I approach other Yuseks.
