00:00Now, Mr. Mayor, in your statement, September 21, which was shown to you earlier, you alluded to a company called

00:09Gencorp Industries Incorporated.

00:11Is that right?

00:12Yes.

00:13And so you are familiar with this corporation called Gencorp Industries Incorporated?

00:17When it has been raised in this court, but before that, no.

00:21I see. Okay. So your familiarity with Gencorp Industries Incorporated, Your Honor, is only limited to their participation in the

00:30contracts?

00:31When it was mentioned here, in this court?

00:35It's only in relation to the mention of Gencorp in this court.

00:38When I was served as a subpoena.

00:43I see. I see.

00:44So just to clarify, sir, your knowledge of Gencorp Industries Incorporated is limited to the reference of Gencorp in this

00:58court?

00:59Yes.

00:59I see. And so you do not have independent knowledge of Gencorp Industries Incorporated?

01:05No.

01:06I see. And you don't have independent knowledge of Gencorp Industries Incorporated by reason of their participation.

01:14in the procurement bids that they made in relation to the city of Davao, sir?

01:19Objection, Your Honor. Asked and answered.

01:21Not yet, Your Honor. I've never asked that question.

01:23That is covered by the previous question, repounded by the Council for Prosecution.

01:28I'm sorry. Your Honor, it is to clarify because he mentioned that he only heard it here, but his statement,

01:35Your Honor, alludes to Gencorp.

01:37And so we are clarifying whether it is in fact only in relation to this.

01:41The court will allow it.

01:43Thank you, Your Honor.

01:43Thank you, sir. Kindly answer, I'm Mayor Duterte.

01:46If you forgot the question, you may ask the Council to repeat it.

01:50Maribu, magsagutin po, Mr. Mayor?

01:53Can you reiterate that?

01:53Ah, yes, yes. Sorry. Okay.

01:55So in relation, your reference to, your, sorry, your familiarity with Gencorp Industries Incorporated is only by reason of the

02:06reference here in the impeachment court?

02:08Yes.

02:08Thank you. Thank you, sir.
