00:00For the first time, Vice President Sara Duterte's defense lawyer says the names on the acknowledgement receipts for the Office
00:06of the Vice President and Department of Education Confidential Funds were aliases.
00:11This comes after a Philippine Statistics Authority official, Marisa Grande, testified that many of the listed names had no birth,
00:17marriage, or death records.
00:19Defense lawyer Justin Gular clarifies the long-standing question over whether the names listed in the supposed informant's acknowledgement receipts
00:25were real.
00:26Mga totoong pangalan po ba ang mga iyon? Or mga aliases po ba iyon?
00:31These are, in fact, aliases, Your Honor, for the consideration of this court.
00:35He adds they will expand on the matter during the defense's presentation of evidence.
00:40Lead Prosecutor Jinky Luistro later says the issue isn't whether aliases were used, but whether rules on confidential spending were
00:46complied with.
00:47Hindi po issue sa amin whether totoong pangalan or alias ang nakasulat sa mga acknowledgement receipts.
00:58The issue is whether or not they complied with the requirements and procedures in the Joint Circular 2015-01.
01:11The prosecution announces it will tackle the second article of impeachment on unexplained wealth before the third article, which is
01:17on bribery.
