Prosecution, Gikwestyon Ang Competence Ni Atty. Balucanag-Punay Nga Motestigo!
GIKWESTYON sa prosecution panel ang competence nga motestigo ni defense 4th witness Atty. Suzette Balucanag-Punay, ang corporate counsel sa duha ka korporasyon nga gikalambigitan ni Vice President Sara Duterte!
Matud ni House Prosecution Spokesperson Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong nga wala silay nakuha kaganihang buntag.
Gidugang ni Adiong nganong mitestigo kini sa mga butang nga wala kini kalambigitan.
“..Thanks for joining us for today’s press con. Siguro tatangin ko na lang po yung kasama nating prosecutor kung meron ba tayo na pala ngayong umaga, Kong Jowel? None. Meron ba tayo nakuha sa ating witness ngayong umaga, Kong Jowel? None.
Well, in the first place, we’re not even sure whether that is accurate as well. Because Atty. Kapunan is not competent to even give us the accurate number because she’s not even part of the preparation of the corporate income.
Exactly the point of Atty. Kapunan. Why would she be there to testify on matters that she’s not involved in? She’s the in-house counsel.
She can advise legally on what the company should do. But as for the corporate dealings and transactions, she is out of that way. That’s already beyond her reach.
That’s already beyond her favorite. That’s why she cannot even contest the expert analysis of Atty. Cabrera.
Sabi nga namin, sabi nga namin, sabi nga ni Paulo, meron special set of methodology na ginagamit. May team po yan si Atty. Cabrera.
Anong meron si Atty. Jose? Ang pagkain niya sa Jollibee, sa Davao City, ilang basis niya for her to say incompetent si Atty. Cabrera.
So exactly also our accusation, she should look herself in the mirror because she’s not also incompetent to say that. Kaya na hidden wealth eh kasi wala sa papel yan. And what she only has are the papers coming from these companies.
We allege that there is a hidden wealth by non-declaring completely the asset of the Vice President. And she is not, don’t have, I think she has no access to that because precisely the allegation of hidden wealth. And that is why talagang hindi nakatulong sa kanilang dipensa itong testimony ni Atty.
Jose. Rather it helped a lot the case of the prosecution. At the very minimum, sinabi niya tumatanggap si Vice President ng matri.
Hindi ba walang matri sa Gencorp. Eh ang Gencorp naka-received ng 19 contracts sa Davao City. Who is the mayor of Davao City? Hindi ba si Mayor Duterte? What is the relation of Mayor Duterte to the respondent in this case? Hindi ba kapatid niya? So at least natahito ni Ms. Azucet.
Sinabi niya loose investment. So ito bang loose investment na ito? Kasama na dito yung kontrata. Kasi paano makakukuha ng income, corporate income ng Gencorp? Isa sa income nila is yung kontrata na napadalo nila sa Davao City.
So mayroon na kukuha si Vice President Duterte na loose investment ng mga matri. yung iba hindi matri. The fact that she’s receiving financial compensation is already, number one, is a direct violation of the Constitution assigned to you by Prosecutor-Commerceman Joel Chua.
At the same time it gives us a clearer picture kung ano ang ina-allege namin sa prosecution na mayroon conflict of interest by mere securing of this 19 contracts by Gencorp..”
