04:14Cross, Attorney Rob.
04:15Yes, Your Honor.
04:19Mr. Gonzalez, good morning.
04:21Good morning.
04:23Mr. Gonzalez, you mentioned these two AUB bank accounts, correct?
04:29And these are under the names, both accounts are under the names of Manassas R. Carpio.
04:37Is that correct?
04:38Both accounts have the names of Manassas Carpio pa.
04:42Yes.
04:43And you confirmed that Sara Z. Duterte is not a holder of any of these accounts that you mentioned, correct?
04:51That's correct pa.
04:52Thank you, Mr. Witness.
04:54Yes.
04:58Mr. Gonzalez, you also talked about the balances of these accounts.
05:08Yes, sir.
05:09You confirmed that these numbers represent transactions done using these accounts, correct?
05:18That's correct pa.
05:18Yes.
05:19But you confirmed that your knowledge of these transactions and these amounts is only based on the documents that you
05:28have on your records, correct?
05:30That's correct.
05:31That's correct.
05:32You do not know why the transactions were made, correct?
05:36That's correct.
05:37You do not know the underlying contract or agreement for these transactions, correct?
05:43Yes, pa.
05:43In fact, these transactions were allowed by the bank, correct?
05:49Yes.
05:49Because at the time the transactions were made, the bank did not see anything wrong with them, correct?
05:55Yes, pa.
05:57No further questions, Your Honor.
06:01Mr. Arcee, malaming salamat po.
06:03Senator Judge Soto is recognized.
06:08Just for my clarification, Mr. Besideing Officer, Mr. Senate President,
06:13sabi niya kanina yung isang account kay Tony Carpio,
06:17and then the other account is Tony Carpio also and another person.
06:21Yan na sinabi, narinig ko eh.
06:24Sini yung other person?
06:27You said earlier, and another.
06:30I think he mentioned attorney.
06:33Your Honor, if I may.
06:36Kindly answer, attorney James.
06:38I think, Your Honor, though, I'm just surmising, Your Honor,
06:41I think the witness is worried to give the answer
06:43because it might include the name of the children, Your Honor.
06:48Is that correct, Mr. Witness?
06:52Yung names na po, yung di po sila stakop sa PINA.
06:55Ah, okay.
06:56So that was the answer.
06:58So it's another name, and not Vice President Duterte.
07:03Pero may iba.
07:04Yes, pa.
07:05And you're not authorized to, or you're not supposed to tell us.
07:10Sino yun?
07:11Yes, pa.
07:13I just wanted you to clarify.
07:16Parang may iba.
07:28I just wanted you to amend it.
07:28I just wanted you to be honest with you.
07:28I was just wondering Buying the minutes to go.
07:29I don't know, but you did not necessarily.
07:29Talk about some effort.
