00:00Day 22 ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:03Isinaad ng testigo mula sa Philippine Statistics Authority
00:07na nadiskubre nilang ilan sa mga pangalang na banggit
00:10na tumanggap ng confidential funds
00:13ay nagmatch sa records sa mga tao na kung hindi pa bata
00:17ay matagal namang patay.
00:19May report si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:23Sa verifikasyon ng 2,669 na pangalan
00:28mula sa acknowledgement receipts ng Confidential Fund
00:32ng Office of the Vice President at Department of Education
00:35noong 2022 at 2023,
00:38natuklasan ang Philippine Statistics Authority
00:41na 25 sa nagmatch sa kanilang records ay mga bata pa.
00:47Pinakabata sa mga umanay tumanggap ng Confidential Fund
00:50ang isang Marlene Sunga.
00:52Ayon kay Mariza Grande, assistant national statistician,
00:56dalawang buwang gulang na sanggol pa lamang ito
00:59at may death certificate na nakasaad 1965 siya namatay.
01:05Two months.
01:06Ayan naman po kayang confidential information
01:08mabibigay nitong Marlene Sunga?
01:10Objection, Your Honor.
01:11May Beatrice Cuenca rin na may single match entry
01:15sa isang tao na 2022 ipinanganak.
01:18Ibig sabihin, isang taong gulang pa lang ito
01:21nang makatanggap umano ng Confidential Fund noong 2023.
01:2637 naman ang patay na noong panahong ipamahagi
01:30ang Confidential Fund noong 2022 at 2023.
01:351,685 ang walang record ng kapanganakan,
01:40pagpapakasal o kamatayan.
01:43Based po sa aming CRS database,
01:45wala pong nangangalang Mary Grace Piatos
01:48sa aming pong record.
01:50Kakaiba rin daw ang ilang mga pangalan.
01:53Yung naalala ko po dito,
01:55yung pangalan nila,
01:56Arthur Baon,
01:58Beverly Claire Pampano,
02:01so yung mga pangalan po na yun,
02:03Matthew N. Quezo,
02:06si Charles Sampaloc Jr.,
02:08ilan lang po sa mga pangalan na tinignan po.
02:11Katwira ng depensa,
02:13mga alias ang mga pangalang ito.
02:15But these are, in fact,
02:17alias as Your Honor.
02:18for the consideration of this court.
02:20Inalmahan niya ng prosecution
02:21dahil ngayon lang daw yan sinabi ng depensa.
02:24It's already a tad too late
02:26for the defense, Your Honor,
02:29to be adopting the position.
02:30We're already at the 11th hour, Your Honor.
02:34Wala pa rin, Your Honor,
02:35kasi siguro, ano ba yung position?
02:37Your Honor.
02:38She may perhaps have neglected
02:40the basic and the most essential idea
02:43of a fair trial,
02:45and that is for the prosecution
02:47to first discharge its burden of proof.
02:51And until the prosecution hurdles that burden,
02:55then the defense may even remain silent.
02:57Tigin naman na Sen. Rafi Tulfo.
03:00Yung bang pirma
03:02ng bawat,
03:04ng ilang mga informants po doon,
03:06Mr. President,
03:06officer,
03:07pare-pareho.
03:08Tapos yung handwriting,
03:10yung pagpipilap ng mga pangalan doon,
03:12pare-pareho.
03:12Ibig sabihin,
03:13isang tao lang
03:14ang napipilap noon.
03:16So,
03:17yun ay very questionable
03:19for me.
03:20Habang pinipilapan nila yung pangalan nyo,
03:22nang natatawanan yun.
03:23Ginagawa tayo yung mga kengkoy,
03:27yung tao dyan sa death,
03:28pwede sa katao dyan sa OVP.
03:32Sa cross-examination ng depensa,
03:35binigyan din ito
03:36na hindi lahat ng Pilipino
03:38ay may record sa PSA.
03:39Ayon sa PSA,
03:41may 3% o may 3 million pang
03:43walang birth certificate.
03:45When the PSA certification
03:47state negative record, ma'am,
03:49hindi na po siya nagsisertify
03:51na walang tao na nag-i-exist na ganyan.
03:54Tama po ba?
03:54We are testifying
03:55as to the availability po ng record
03:58and not as to the existence.
04:00So, to clarify,
04:01it only certifies
04:02that a particular name
04:03is not found in the CRS database.
04:06Correct?
04:07Yes, sir,
04:08for the certification.
04:09Sabi naman ni Presiding Officer
04:11Jesus Codero,
04:12walang paraan ng PSA na alamin
04:14kung ang pangalan sa kanilang database
04:16ay ang siyang pumirma
04:18sa acknowledgement receipts.
04:20Single match entry.
04:22Kung hindi siya universal,
04:25hindi porkit may single match entry kayo
04:27na nag-match dun sa pangalan binigay,
04:29eh siya na talaga yun.
04:30Pag sinabi namin na
04:32most likely,
04:33one most likely
04:36birth record,
04:37for example,
04:38using that name po,
04:41it has an exact match
04:43na may isang record po
04:44na nasa database.
04:45Pero hindi rin nangangahulugan
04:46na siya nga yun?
04:49Yes, possible po,
04:50Your Honor.
04:51Si Edward Fajarda naman,
04:53na dating Special Disbursing Officer
04:55ng DEPED,
04:56hindi na ipatatawag
04:58ng prosecution
04:58sa witness stand
05:00dahil sa lagay
05:01ng kalusugan niya.
05:02Matapos pagpahingahin
05:04ang dalawang linggo
05:05matapos masro,
05:06pinayuan siya ng doktor
05:07na i-extend
05:08ang kanyang pahinga
05:09ng isang buwan.
