00:00In all humility, Your Honor, our intention in cross-examination is to test the credibility of the witness among others.
00:08And part of testing that credibility is to confront him not just with documents but with salient provisions of the
00:14law
00:14so that we can demonstrate whether or not his interpretation and application of the law is correct.
00:20So when we read portions of the law during our cross-examination, it is never our intention to cause intimidation,
00:28especially to the members of this Honorable Impeachment Court,
00:32lalong-lalo na po kay Senator Judge Lapid, who, if I may say, has been very gracious to us.
00:37Maraming salamat po sa Maha Blanca, sir.
00:40But if in any way a different message was indirectly conveyed,
00:44I personally apologize and commit to be more circumspect moving forward. Thank you, Your Honor.
00:50I'll add the Sal N. of the two, from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
00:57In-add. Meaning, hindi naman dapat in-add yun, di ba?
01:00Kasi iba-ibang tao naman yun eh.
01:02At kasama na yung deklarasyong na huli doon sa unang deklarasyon.
01:06It totaled 336 million and change.
01:13Hindi pa rin umabot ng 424.
01:16Meaning to say, on the assumption na walang ginastos, um, walang ginastos mula sa lahat ng assets nila,
01:25at lahat na dineposito sa banko, hindi pa rin naabot sa ganto kalaking halaga.
01:31Um, sa palagay at pananaw nyo, ulitin ko, in the realm of possibilities,
01:36what would explain this huge amount?
01:42Hindi ko po, medyo hindi ko pong ma...
01:45So hindi nyo po kayang paliwanag. You cannot explain...
01:48Hindi ko po maipaliwanag.
01:49You cannot explain how it reached 424 million.
01:54Assuming the presumption of this, um, um, representation is correct with respect to her Sal N.
02:01Apo, hindi ko po maipaliwanag po yun.
02:05Tumalabas na ilan sa nagpadala ng pera sa Kali 88 ay mga Chinese state-owned enterprises.
02:12Dahil itong Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group ay hindi ordinaryong kumpanya.
02:19It's a Chinese state-owned enterprise.
02:22It advances the interests of the Chinese Communist Party.
02:27Sa mismong corporate governance structure ng Xinjiang Fruit,
02:31may institutional Chinese Communist Party organization na naka-embed.
02:36It has its own Chinese Communist Party committee,
02:41Party Committee Organization Department,
02:43at 11 subordinate subcommittees, o Party Bram.
02:47You, Eunice Sumatra, do swear that the evidence you shall give in the case now pending
02:53between the Philippines and Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte
02:56shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
03:00So help you God.
03:16Year end, December 22, 2022, sorry, is 505,517.35.
03:26How about for the year 2023?
03:30If there are any, what is the year-end balance of Attorney Carpio corresponding to his account
03:36ending with last digits 2730?
03:39For year end 2023, the last or the outstanding balance at that time was $953,681.42.
03:48How about for 2024, what is the year-end balance that you've mentioned under the name of Attorney Carpio?
03:59For 2024, sir, it was $115,824.20.
04:07Lastly, Madam Witness, for 2025, what is the year-end balance of this account based on your records?
04:15For 2025, sir, it was $1,358,373.07.
04:36You
