LACSON SINUP4LP4L SI MARCOLETA‼️PAEPAL AT PABIDA BIDA ITONG MABABANG URI NA ABOGADO! 

Alr magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat mga kababayan batang Maynila to o na mga kababayan pakinggan natin si Senator Ping Lakson tingnan natin kung paano niya durugin itong si Marcoleta kasi kung ano-anong ah pinagdadakdak ni Marceta kahapon so ngayon o pagkakataon naman ni Senator Ping Laxson na magsalita at ah kontrahin ‘yung pinagsasabi nitong pinaka nakawalang kwentang abogado oh eh sabi yun ni ano ah ni Justice Carpio. Hindi ako nagsabi non.

Sabi ng isang ah legal luminary katulad ni Justice Carpio. Eh ito raw si Marcoleta ang ah pinakamababang uri ng abogado eh. Puro ano puro yabang lang itong ah panodsa na ‘to eh. Parang panodsa lang eh. Ha so ito mga kababayan diretso na tayo live po ngayon sa senado ah itong ating papanoorin >> Senator Panfilo Ping Lonson >> President Senator Ping Lon is recognized.

>> Thank you Mr. President. Mr. President, Distinguished majority leader, thank you for allowing me to have the floor on a matter of personal and collective privilege. Much as I would like to abide by the elders what my elders had taught me that and I quote, “Silence is the best response to nonsense.

 I’m constrained to take the floor to set the record straight and correct the prevarications is on this very floor by one of our colleagues namely Senator Rodante Marcoleta. While in his two recent privilege speeches, he mostly referred to this representation as the BRC chairman. In my manifestation today, I will by his name.

 Like on many past occasions, I could have effortlessly dismissed Sentor Marcolet’s statements as I refused to dignify his ego driven provocations. But when the attacks shit from professional to obsessively personal, I must shut the whole political circus down firmly, completely and without ambiguity. Dahil gusto din lamang ni Senator Marcoleta na lagi siyang bida bilang dating chairman man ng BRC o sa usaping West Philippines sea o anumang issue involving China o dili kaya ay sa usaping restitution na mag-asawang diskaya siya na nga ang tuna

bida sa aking magiging pahayag sa mga sandaling ito ngayong hapon >> ayan gusto mo maging bida-bida Marcoleta ayan bida ka ngayon bida ka ngayon diyan sa privilege speech ni Senator Laxon >> memory is Mr. President with that said and with your indulgence let me refresh our memory on the historical background of the animosities or shall I say why the gentleman from Tarlac and Pampanga Senator Rodante Marcolet has become so obsessed with tagging and badmouthing this representation as he has become obsessed with defending China in many

fora like in the confirmation hearing of 35 senior officers of the armed forces of the Philippines but especially when he interpellated from the majority black Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan when he sponsored and defended Senate resolution number 37 last February 2. So obsessed that he had to resort to rigorous talking of all my interviews and social media updates, neit picking from every statement I uttered and tricking this August chamber to cry foul armed with nothing but is draining litany. Since Senator Marcoleta

apparently knows every word I say in my media interviews and every move I make in this chamber, napilitan akong balikan ang napakaraming pagkakataon na ako ay naging paksa ng kanyang mga personal na atake. Perhaps Mr. President, it started when this representation inquired about Senator Marcoleta’s hilaw interpretation of Senate rules relative to his motion to dismiss in the impeachment case against Vice President Sarah Duterte last year.

Th on August 6, 2025 I manifested my inquirying Senator Marcoleta’s arguments calling for the dismissal of the impeachment case against Vice President Sarah Duterte using section 135 of the Senate rules. I highlighted that nowhere in our rules can we find a provision on a motion to dismiss. Nor is there a supplatory application of the rules of court and other references like the Rudix manual etc.

 to accommodate such a motion. I merely raised a parliamentary inquiry into how we can deal with the said motion to dismiss an impeachment case given that we were then constituted as a legislative body in plenary session and not as an impeachment court. I was supposed to be it was supposed to be a simple parliamentary inquiry from what I considered then and I quote medyo hilaw na interpretation ng ating honorable Marcoleta unquote ewan ko Mr.

 President simula ng naso plako si Senator Marcoleta sa floor ay tila nagtanim na siya ng puot sa kanyang dibdib. On August 20, 2025 I delivered my first privilege speech entitled flooded gates of corruption to bring to the attention of the Senate and the Filipino People the syndicated corruption in the implementation of blood control projects.

 Pinaghirapan ko at ng aking team na buuin ang aming mga findings upang maisapubliko ang mga anomalya sa flat control na makakatulong sana sa sinasagawang inquiry in aid of legislation ng BL Committee na noon ay kanya pang pinamumunuan. Ang hindi ko inaasahan, minasama pa ito ni Senator Marcoleta sa pamamagitan ng kanyang TV program noong August 29, 2025.

 Panoorin po natin ang mga portions ng video. Ayon, >> isang major committee yung Blue Ribon. Bawal na yung ah gagawa ka pa ng sarili mong pagpapahayag. Lalonglalo na kung dun sa pagpapahayag mo parang uulitin mo yung mga bagay na dapat sana doun na hayag d sa nao ng pag para may sarili kang expose may sarili kang hindi dapat ginawa pa yon kumbaga kalabisan na yon sa tunin kasi bawal na yon kung doon sa pagpapahayag mo ay parang uulitin mo yung mga bagay na dapat sana ay doon naihayag sa naunang pagtalakay hindi dapat ginawa pa ‘yun

kumbaga kalabisan na ‘yon sa tuntunin kasi bawal na yon. Yan ang sinasabi ng isang taong nakasalamin sa hating gabi na yun na yung nag-epal siguro yun ang pasikat ba yan ang sinabi niya Mr. President Mr. President tulad ng kanyang motion to dismiss nag-imbento na naman ng hilaw na rule si Senator Marcoleta.

Kahit pagbalibaligtarin natin ang rules of the Senate walang nagbabawal sa kahit sinong senador na magpahayag sa pamamagitan ng privilege speech kahit tinatalakay nasa commite ang paksa tulad ng flood control. Kaya nga sinasabi ni ano eh ni Carpio na ito yung pinakamahinang klase ng abogado eh dahil puro imbento eh.

 Ayan napackcheck ka tuloy Marcoletaung sinasabi mo na bawal sa tuntunin ng senado eh napack check wala naman sa senate rules. O sino ngaayon ang paepal? >> Naku sa pagmumukha pa lang eh naku epal na eh. N may natapakan po ba akong ego sa aking privilege speech na naglahad sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ng mga konkretong ghost at substandard blood control projects? May nasagasahan po ba akong pride sa pagpapangalan sa mga sangkot sa anomalya na sina Brce Hernandez, Henry Alcantara at iba pang personalidad sa kauna-unahang

pagkakataon? If yes, I refuse to apologize and feed on Senator Marcoleta’s ego and pride. On September 9 last year, after the leadership change and subsequent reorganization of Senate Committees, including the Blue Ribon Committee with me as its chairman hindi na lalo naka-move on si Senator Marculeta.

 I was made met with a barage of undriticisms by the former chairman Senator Marcoleta. Much of it characterized by a profound lack of respect for both this representation and the blue rebon committee. During the 23 September 2025 public hearing of the blue Ribbon committee, Senator Marcoleta disrupted the proceedings when he raised what he called a prejudicial question on my impartiality as the chairman following a media interview where I simply answered a question about which among the source persons in my opinion between his favorite Discaya couple and

Brice Hernandez of the famc boys appeared more credible. Siguro nakalimutan na ni Senator Marcoleta ang cases assigned or reading nung nasa law school pa siya. The Supreme Court in the case of Berbari versus honorable Pedro Conception J number 16189 February 26 1920 the court explained that and I quote prejudicial question is understood in law to be that which which must preced the criminal action that which requires a decision before a final judgment is rendered in the principal action with which said question is

closely connected. All previous questions are prejudicial, although all prejudicial questions are necessarily previous. Hindi ko na nga siya pinatulan sa issue na yon para hindi ma-disrupt ang pagdinig kahit mali-mali dahil sa pagsasaalang-alang sa kanya bilang isang abogado na dapat ay alam niyang applicable lamang ang prejudicial question sa mga criminal cases.

Dapat he expos his ignorance as a member of the bar particularly on the revised rules on criminal procedure even as he invoke the issue of impartiality at the top of his voice and out of order and the quum continuously interrupting the chairman and everybody else while shamelessly appearing to act as counsel for the discaya couple without even disclosing before the committee members that one of his family members was an independent director of insurance companies that provided bonds for contractors owned by the Ph7 billion

flood control contractors Kly and Sarah Descaya. Being a non-lawyer, Mr. President, I hate lecturing a lawyer no matter how low he ranks among spellow members of the bar if I may borrow the words of former senior Associate Justice Supreme uh Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio. Grabe na to mga kababayan. Grabe na to.

 Kinote na ni Lakson yung sinabi ni Carpio na itong si Marcoleta ay ang pinakamababang uri ng abogado. Walangya. Sige kasi personal na to mga kababayan eh. Pinersonal si Lakson eh. O sabi ni Lon hindi ako mananahimik kahit sinasabi sa akin ng mga ng magulang ko na the best way na labanan ang nonsense haonssense eh manahimik.

 Pero sabi niya hindi na kasi ibang usapan na ‘to. Kaya itong pinakamababang uri ng abogado ngayon binabaratan ni Lakson. Dinudurog dinudurog itong si ah Peluka Senator Peluka tuloy. Marcoleta ha. >> I also thought as lawmakers we may as well be educated in this regard. So let me state for the record. Natamaan kasi siaya yung kanilang ano kliyente sa insurance.

 Following under rule 111 prosecution of civil action section 7 of the revised rules on criminal procedure the elements of a prejudicial question are a the previously instituted civil action involved an issue similar intimately related to the issue raised in the subsequent criminal action and b the resolution of such issue determines whether or not the criminal action may proceed.

 Kung may napansin ang mga manonood, ito ang naging asal ni Senator Marcoleta which begg the question, why is Senator Marcoleta so protective of the disayas? This inquiry remains valid and grounded and I can show you from the many, many occasions he stood for in support of the disayas. Let us watch. sound president ask to fix walang sound e suspension president session suspended the technical department fix the sound ba naman yan yung sound kanina nagpalabas ng video sumabay yung salita nixon ayusin mo na ‘yung sound system kailangan marinig ang pinagsasabi ni

Marcoleta paano niya ipagtanggol itong mga diskaya magkano kaya no magha sabi nga 1 billion eh kapal na mukha 1 billion pero binaba binaba sa 150 million alam mo kung kinagat yun 150 million standby lang sandali lang mga kababayan >> ready po si disc si price Kaya bakit ganon? Why are why are you so protected? Nagmamadali daw po ako na mabigyan sila ng witness protection program.

 Yun po yung sinasabi ng batas eh. Pag hiningi nila with their consent sapagkat nanganganib ang buhay niya hindi ka magmamadali. Ilalagay ko po ba sa kamay ko ang kaligtasan ng mag-asawa na yon? Eh kinakailangang magsoli po sila ng mga nakulimbat nila which to my mind is not correct. Papaano mo sasabihin na magre-restitute ang isang tao? Mayro’on na bang findings kung magkano ire-restitute on how it can be restituted? Nag-a-apply pa lang eh.

 What is the reason behind the law? So that the we can get justice and justice can only be attained if there is restitution. So that is the principle guide all of these things that we are talking about now. Mr. Secretary restitution will come after. It cannot be it can sir it can come before or after sir it can come before or after.

you the law that it came before iyung discaya to my mind were the first to apply under the witness protection program ang problema po doon kung wala namang ano e 40te pa pong nagsasabi kung talagang sila nagnakaw o nakapagnakaw sino pong magkukwenta non problem is ang sabi ng dating DOJ secretary ba hindi kinakailangan isoli muna yung mga pinagnanakawano ngayon siya mpo-process if that was dangered so ang tinatanong ko nga sa inyo hindi siya sinungaling kayo ang nagbigay na ng kondisyon kasi did you agree that you restitute any

money to ah wala po maibibigay po at saka o yun na nga because wala kang maibigay hindi ka niya ipo-process under the witness protection program is that not correct so pinipili niyo yung gusto niyong i-process ngayon kung ayaw ninyong ayaw ninyong bigyan sila ng protection under the law kaya siguro umayw na sila sa ici mr president it is also coincidental that multiple news outlets revealed a dumming link between senator marcoleta and the discayas in one news history a relative Mareta was said to hold a directorship

at Stronghold Incorporated and Milestone Guarantee insurance companies that provided bonds for contractors owned by the flood control king and queen Kley and Sarah Descaya at the center of a multibillion flat control corruption scandal raising conflict of interest questions in a high profile Senate probe.

 Hindi pa po dito nagtatapos ang pagbibida ni Senator Marcoleta. Noong September 25, 2025, nagpresenta si Senator Magoleta ng surprise witness sa katauhan ni Mr. Orle Cutesa. As chairman, I didn’t praise any objection to members like him introducing surprise witnesses during the proceedings at that time, as long as it can help in the in the inthing the truth behind the flood control mess, including and most importantly, exposing the masterminds if evidence warrants.

 Gayon pa manan, hindi pa man tapos ang araw, pumalag na sa media ang sinasabing nakapirma sa notary public na si Attorney Pech Espera na kalaunan ay naging kasalanan ko pa din sa paningin ni Senator Marcoleta. Hindi po ito ang Hindi po ang senado ang nag-iimbestiga at nagbigay ng hatol na forge ang notaro ni Gotesa. Mismong ang branch 18 ng Regional Trial Court ng Manila ang nag-imbestiga.

 Independent yun sa senado. Sa halip na tanggapin, galit pa sa resulta ng kaso dahil hindi naayon sa gusto niyang kalalabasan ng imbestigasyon. Asalida talaga. Ang matindi pa, nanakot pa na magsasampa ng kaso laban sa judge at abogado. Again, style bida. Pa-victim effect pa. po masyado na parang bida sa pelikula. Mr. President, ang kwento pa, ako daw ang nagpapahiwatig na tinuturuan o kino-coach niya si Gotesa sa bahaging ito ng pagdinig. Mr.

 President, eh sa obserbasyon ng napakaraming nanonood, tila baga tinuturuan niya kung anong pahina. Page 20 nga daw ang basahin. Sa kamalasan niya, nagkataon na putol pala ang kopya ng affidbit ni Gutesa. Kung todo tinayuan pa niya para ibigay ang kanyang kopya na parang bida sa eksena. Nakalimutan yata ni Senator Marcoleta na naka-live TV coverage ang pagdinig kaya walang pakundangan at walang kahihiyan sa inasal niya.

 Kaya nga kitang-kita pati si Henry Alcantara tawang-tawa. Nakalimot din sandali na hindi pa siya stay fitness nung nag-tetsify si Gutesa. Let us watch the actual video dahil baka sabihin na naman niya nag-splice kami ng video. Let’s sabi basura ito merong napuputol sa binabasa mo eh. Huwag kang magmadali. Huwag kang magmadali. Naputol na. Ulitin mo yung paragraph 20.

Wala na akong hindi ko makita na putol na siya. I strongly deny that made mention of him coachinga. Mr. President, uulitin ko, sakaling hindi pa rin talaga ma-gets, tinanggap pa rin ng commite ang sinumpang salaysay ni Gotesa bilang valid at bahagi ng record dahil sa katotohanang siya ay personal na humarap at nagpatunay under oath ng nilalaman ng kanyang affidavit. Ang masama Mr.

President, tinanggap naman natin sa record ang testimonya ni Mr. Gotesa. Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa kakareklamo si Senator Marcoleta. Mr. President, ang tunay na issue hindi ang forge na affidavit kundi ang biglaang pagtatago at pagkawala ni Gotesa. For the information of this body, Mr. Gotesa, who was presented as a witness by Senator Marcoleta has been unavailable since his initial appearance.

 Moreover, the committee made the option for Senate protection available to him, but he declined as evidence by his signed waver. And we are dutiful in locating him, Mr. President, pinuntahan namin ang lahat ng addresses para maabot ang imbitasyon ng committee and even rigorously visited our CCTV camera footage.

 Again, displaying his obsessiveness for the time, Senator Marcoleta even lambed me by implying that I wasiling his office. Galit na galit. Samantalang nais lamang nating matukoy kung sakaling may kasama si Mr. Gotesa ng dumating sa senado upang sa gayon ay magkaroon tayo ng lead kung paano siya muling maimbitas sa susunod na pagdinig.

 Hindi ko na nga pinalaki ang aking mga obserbasyon sa paksang ito, Mr. President. Sa halip, sinubukan pa rin naming hingin ang kanyang tulong sa paghahanap kay Sergeant Cutesa. Again, Senator Marcoleta in his TV’s show ranted against me. Let’s watch. >> Tatanungin ko siya. Bakit mo ikinore saakin to? Iniinsulto mo ba ako? Parang insulto naman sa akin yun.

 Ba’t mo ico-core sa akin? Sino ka ba? O >> I dare ask Mr. President, if a committee member brings a witness bearing such damaging allegations, does the burden of transparency not follow? Is it not just proper to cooperate with the committee regarding his whereabouts? Why then does Senator Marcoleta find my position so offensive? On many occasions, Senator Marcoleta made statements that undermine the authority and collective integrity.

of the committee. Mukhang aabutin tayo hanggang bukas kung iisa-isahin ko pa lahat ang katakot-takot na pagalipusta ni Senator Marcoleta sa commite na kinabibilangan din naman niya. He continued the same litany in his speech yesterday. Mr. President, let me count and rebat it once and for all. One, on the release of the minority report.

 Tahasang pinagmamalaki ni Senator Marcoleta ang minority report for the lack of better term, he said, sa kanyang na kanyang nilabas noong December 10, 2025 na siya ring naging paksa ng kanyang litanya kahapon. For his information, I wish to underscore a part of section 22 of the Senate rules shown in the on the screen which states that and I quote concurring and disenting reports may likewise be made by the members who do not sign the majority report within 72 hours from the approval of the report.

 Napakalinaw naman po, Mr. President, concurring and dissenting reports may be made 72 hours after the committee report has been approved by the majority vote of all its members. Siya na nga itong gawa ng gawa ng mga bagay na wala naman sa aluntunin ng senado. Pagkatapos ako ang pagbibintangan niya na epal. He even had the audacity to declare and I quote his speech a submission anchored on the same hearings three of which he actually presided the same resource persons and the sameits.

 Masasabi ba niyang pambasura lang din ang lahat ng iyon? At this point senator Marcoleta must know that rhetorical policies do not amuse me Mr. President, if the release of this so-called minority report and its contents did not amount to a direct appront to the chairman and to the committee as a collegial body, then I’m not sure what is.

 May also emphasize, Mr. President that this same reportently stated that and I quote the BRC Blue Ribbon committee cannot should no longer compete with the National Prosecution Services and eventually the judiciary in finally disposing of these cases unquote clearly implying that the committee must conclude its proceedings.

Mr. President, sino ba siya para pangunahan ang chairman at ang mayorya na miyembro ng committee? Wala sa lugar, wala sa hulog. Saganang akin lang din naman, kagulat-gulat po ba ang naging reaksyon ng representasyon na ito na walang lugar ang ulat na yan kundi sa basurahan? Kayo na ang humusga, Mr. President.

 Number two, let us go to the BRC draft partial committee report na pinamahagi ng komite noon pangalaming is ng Pebrero nitong taon na sa mismong araw na ito ay isang buwan na ang nakakalipas na syempre ay laman din ng unly unly reklamo ni Senator Marcoleta Anya. Ang natanggap ng kanyang opisina ay isang PDF file or document na may watermark ng bawat opisina na nakatanggap nito na wala man lang daw pirma ng chairman ng commite.

Natural walang pirma dahil advance copies lang naman ang pinadala namin sa opisina ng lahat ng members. Common sense naman po Mr. President na binigyan ng soft copy ang bawat miyembro upang madaling mabasa at mapag-aralan ng lahat ang lahat ng nilalaman nito simultaneously. Properly inform naman po ang mga staff ng mga senador na available mula sa aming opisina ang pisikal na kopya na lagpas 400 pages ng committee report upang mapirmahan sa hudyat ng mga ginagalang na miyembro ng committee ang ating inisyatibo upang pabilisin ang

tamang proseso ay talagang masama pa rin sa paningin ni Senator Marcoleta. Tulad ng ginagawa din naman ng ibang miyembro ng komite, panay din ang follow up namin sa kanyang opisina na kung nais na niyang pumirma sa printed copy ng report kahit ay descent remark ay wala siyang ginawa. Bakit ngayon ay maghahanap siya ng blue rebond committee report na nakatengga sa kanyang opisina nung isang buwan pa? Incidentally as of yesterday, only Senator Bamquino has affixed his signature on the partial committee report. It goes without saying that I

respect each and every member’s decision when they will sign the report if at all. What I despise is Senator Marcol’s audacity to lie about his inability to sign the same by citing an untrutful reason for not signing. Mr. President, number three, pinipilit niya rin na ilabas ko ang listahan ng 67 contractors.

 He said in his speech and I quote in his press release dated August 10, 2025 posted on the Senate website, the BRC chairman disclosed that house members called him and that he had a list of 67 congressmen who are contractors. Yet he did not summon them to any BRC hearing. Why did he not name them to be fair to the rest of the members of the house of Representatives? Ito po ang tunay na splice, Mr.

President, kung babasahin lang po ni Ginoong Marcoleta ang susunod na sentence, malinaw na malinaw po ito. And I’d like to paraphrase. Laxon clarified that he merely as a congestman friend from the lower house and that again I quote, I chuckled and said, “I don’t have a list.” Uulitin ko po noon at hanggang ngayon kahit ipagpilitan at i-splice ng kung sino wala akong listahan at wala akong sinasabing may hawak akong listahan na mga tinuguruang contractors.

Wala akong pangalan. Alam mo yung 67 na contractors na naging congressmen or yung congressmen contractors? Nakuha ko yan sa isang member ng house >> noong kasisimula pa lamang ng 19th Congress 2022. >> Number four. Madin din po ang pagquest ni Senator Marcoleta sa interparliamentary courtesy. He said and I quote, “This doctrine is a president which is not even part of our rules is not absolute and then he added if anything those who occupy the highest offices in the government must be the first to answer not the last to be asked

unque. Senator Marculeta even mentioned again and I quote the members of Congress have no immunity from investigation, subina or public scrutiny and court.” Mr. President hypothetically if the House of Representatives initiate an investigation on Senator Marpoleta’s statements of contributions and expenditures or sose over an alleged discrepancy, would the honorable senator stand by his position to disregard interparliamentary courtesy? If his former colleagues were to issue a supina, a sho or even a warrant of par

would he still argue about the relevance of interparliamentary courtesy? Ito po ang tunay na hypothetical question, Mr. President. Letess we forget dalawang taon pa lamang ang nakakalipas. Siya mismo ang nagsisisigaw sa House of Representatives at nagmotion na i-terminate ang budget deliberations para bigyan ng parliamentary courtesy ang office of the vice president. In his words, Mr.

President, >> parliamentary procedures, madam chair grow from or are enriched by traditions, experiences and precedents. You may not like the person. presence here but you have to respect the office of the vice president that is all because that is guided by the tradition kahapon po kagaya po ng sinabi nila wala ng pinagtanong sa office of the president that is correct that is in line with that tradition >> such hypocrisy such double standard such a parse that does not dignify an answer Mr. President incidentally since I

mentioned the SOS case with the COMELECE in violation of the Omnibus election code kung ninanais ko lamang na ipahamak siya ay naghain na sana po ako ng Senate resolution calling for an inquiry in aid of legislation para ipatawag ang mga comenc officials upang ipaliwanag bakit masyadong delayed ang usaping ito when the issue of Senator Marcolet fa >> eh dapat ah ano yan ah imbestigahan na yan Senator Laxson imbestigahan mo na eh pine-personal ka na nitong ni Marcoleta eh pwede na siguro ‘yan pwede ng paimbestigahan yan patawag na yung

comelec para maano kasi ano to eh ah yung issue ni Marcoleta na hindi ano ah wala daw siyang ah natanggap na donation sa ibang tao mali-mali yung kanyang nakasulat sa salin ang layo po doun sa ano sa expenditures so ako kay Senator Laxon poimbestiga mo na ‘yan sir personal na eh para matigil ‘yan Pwede pa nga matanggal yan eh ‘ ba to disclose his campaign to the in his sauces surfaced.

 Our dear colleague tried to clarify the matter. In fact, during his own show sa ganang mamamayan dated November 8, 2025, he made the following disclosure. Please watch. Nelson, alam moung mga kaibigan ko nagbigay sa akin talaga. Mhm. Alam mo pakiusap lang nila isa lang. Oo. Aho. >> Tanggapin mo ang tulong namin sayo. >> Okay. >> Congressman ako non eh, Cong.

 Kami po ay naniniwala nakarapatdapat kang makarating sa senado. >> Tanggapin mo ang lagagan to. Marami sila. Isa lang ang kanilang pakiusap. Sa ano po yon? >> Eh sana huwag muna kaming i-disclose ang identity. Ngayon kapagka naglagay ako ng figure sa contribution, mapipilitan akong mag-disclose ng pangalan nila.

 Alam mo kung bakit? Merong merong kaakibat na kung tawagin ay did of acceptance of donation. Papaano yun kao m contribution to eh oo hindi sabi niya binigay ko nga sao contribution pero utang na loob mo saakin yan ituring mo na lang na utang sabi niya ‘ ba load but when he was issued a shoko order by the comelec he tried to backtrack on his arguments by saying that he received those contributions when he was not yet a candidate as defined by the decision of the supreme court i guess senator and his legal team thought they were being

smart Pero nakakatawa president wala ng mas lilinaw pa sa sariling pag-amin ni Senator Marceta. Tumanggap siya ng pera para magkaroon siya ng utang na loob sa mga taong iyon. Isang maliwanag na admission against interest. Ang sabi nga ng mga abogado. Bilang isang abogado, dapat alam ni Senator Marcoleta na dahil dito ay suot siya sa balde sa kasong indirect bribery under article 211 ng Revise Penal Code dahil member siya ng House of Representatives ng panahon na iyon.

 Maliwanag sa batas, naend sa mga public officials na tumanggap ng pera o gift by reason of of their office kahit walang pangako na particular act or omission sa nagbigay ng pera. Bakit nga ba hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nilalabas ng COMELEC ang resolution ng SOY case ni Senator Marcoleta? Number four. As for Mr. Saldico, let me stake this plainly.

 Dalawang beses nating siyang naimbitahan para personal na humarap at personal na mag-testify sa commite. He needs to appear and substanti the statements he posted on his Facebook account. Twice he refused citing medical and security reasons dahil sa bigat at seryosong alegasyon kanyang binitiwan, hindi maaaring pahintulutan ng commiteng ito na manatiling nakabitin ang mga akusasyon na hindi siya humaharap at nanunumpa sa harap ng kapulungang ito.

 Sa katunayan, ako pa mismo ang nagmungkahi sa ating chat group na payagan siyang magtestigo sa Philippine mula sa Philippine Embassy kung saan man siya naroroon. Gayon pa man, pinarating ni Senator Ronald Bato de Roza mismo ang kanyang apprehensyon sa sugestyong ito sa pamamagitan ng kanyang text message.

 Nais ko rin bigyan diin Ginoong Pangulo na ang diskusyong iyon ay nangyari bago pa man ilabas sa social media ni Saldico ang kanyang mga alegasyon. Panghuli tungkol sa issue ng apostil, ang isang apostiled affidavit ay hindi kailan man maaring maging alternatibo sa personal appearance. Hindi ito mapapalitan ng direct testimony at lalong hindi dito mapapalitan ang tungkulin ng isang saksi na harapin ang commite.

 Sagutin ang mga katanungan at sumaalim sa masusing pagsusuri. Kung handa si Saldiko na magbitiw ng mga seryosong akusasyon sa publiko, dapat ay handa rin siyang humarap sa atin at panindigan ang mga alegasyong iyon sa ilalim ng sumpa. Ikalima sa kanyang akusasyon sa representasyon ito kaugnay ni Congressman or former speaker Martin Romaldes.

 Kung binasa lamang po ni Senator Marcoleta ang partial committee report, makikita po niya na nakapaloob na doon ang lahat ng nais niyang ipahayag. Kung hindi man higit pa rekomendasyon para sa Pfunding investigation, AMLOC bank inquiry and filing of prorder petitions are for feature. Kung napakarami pa niyang gustong ipaglaban at paimbestigahan, bakit siya rin ang nagsabi sa kanyang minority report na dapat tapusin ang pagdinig? Kung sa bagay, kung mayroong isang bagay na consistent sina Senator Marcoleta, ito ay ang pagiging inconsistent sa kanyang mga

pinagsasasabih. As to the other witnesses allegedly not invited by the committee, it bears stressing that the committee has not terminated its hearings. Contrary to the suggestion in the so-called minority report, the intention at this stage is simply to have the partial committee report filed and sponsored in order to reflect the evidence received th far and to allow the committee to consider the next steps taking into account the views of the members on the other on other areas that may be pursued as the path

forward toward the eventual conclusion of the hearings. As to the other matters raised under the rules of the blue ribbon, the chairman serves as the chief executive officer of the committee and as such exercises grow discretion over matters pending before it including the invitation of witnesses.

 Members may suggest witnesses or move for the invitation during a hearing and if such motion is approved by the members of the committee, the same will of course be respected by the chair. Panganim sa kawalang kamatayang i-give up ang kay IG remark na umabot din sa isang full privilege speech upang ipanghandakan na ako ay nasa likod ng pagi-splice ng kanyang video upang siya ay siraan.

 his statement and I quote verb president ang gawin natin po para madali i-give up natin ang kig thencoordinate na natin lahat un is that merely suggested m president ito ay kasingkintab ng bumbunan na nasinagan ng tirik na araw sa tanghaling tapat mr president sapat na ang kanyang hindi matapos-tapos na paliwanag na keso hypothetical daw keso joke lang daw ayon sa kanyang mga pahayag at kalaunan at gusto pa niya amyandahan o i-correct ang journal ng Committee on National Defense of the Commission on Appointments.

Mag-ingat po tayo rito, Mr. President, sa kanyang gustong mangyari. Your honor being the chairman of the commission on appointments and some of us here as members we must study diligently the legal implications of Senator Marcoleta’s motion now pending before the commission on appointments. Anyway, going back to i-give up natin iyung KIG statement na ini-splice ko daw na marin kong pinabubulaan.

 Ang masasabi ko bilang analogy sa kanyang sitwasyon ay ganito. When one looks the same as when he does before going to bed at night, how can there be splicing? Inversely, Mr. President, when one looks different going to work during daytime from before going to bed at night, that’s when splicing becomes evident. Matong ko lang po, sino ngayon ang magaling mag-splice, Mr.

 President? Hindi ko kasalanan ang mga salitang nagmula sa sarili niyang bibig. May tawag nga dito ang mga genzy classic case of gas lighting. Number seven, isang sang katutak na ang mga pahayag ni Senor Marcoleta na napakalinaw na hindi pumapabor sa ating pambansang interes katutak na rin ang mga nagbigay ng kanilang mga negatibong reaksyon.

 Ngunit sa hulit huli ako pa rin ang sinisisi ni Senator Marceta. He even went far beyond by debanking and undermining the historical facts about Thomasoma. Senator Marcoleta said I was all wrong when I said that this PR was discovered and consequently occupied and owned by lawyer and businessman Thomas Gloma citing the principle of Terra Nulius or rest nulus.

 It was for him a historical distortion. Curelessly, Mr. President, these narratives align with those of the Chinese narratives plcked directly from the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Official Website. Mr. President, let’s show the slides. Ayan po. Kitang-kita natin kung anong sinabi ng website ng Ministry of Foreign Affairs ng People’s Republic of China.

‘Yan din ang kanyang sinasabi. Now, Senator Marcoleta speaks of a pattern that he himself built in his head to discredit this representation. But if we backtrack the events that transpired in the past several months, one thing is crystal clear. When cornered by default of his own doing, he employs a diversionary maneuver pathetically stretching the conversation no matter how illogical until people get drained and tired just as a squid squirts ink to darken the water and blind everyone around while it swims away a person may throw out irrelevant

issues, fake scandals or emotional outbursts to distract the public from the actual evidence or the main point of an investigation. After all is said and done, I am tempted to ask these questions. Mr. President, on the West Philippine Sea which side of the South China Sea is Senator Marcoleta own on the anomalous grapen flood control projects is Senator Marcoleta for the diskas or the people of the Philippines? I think we know the answers Mr.

 President, thank you colleagues and thank you Mr. President. Okay. So ayan mga kababayan durog na durog na durog durog na durog si Marcoleta. Ayan mga kababayan. Ito kasi si Marcoleta itong tsinador na ito ay talaga namang ano ah obvious naman eh. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng senador na talagang ganyan garapal. garapal talaga na parang hindi ba ah Pilipino magsalita at ah talagang galit na galit siya kay Laxon.

 Hindi siya talaga maka-move on dahil nung natanggal siya sa pagiging chairman ng Blue Ribbon kasi bagong senador eh syempre excited pabida-bida. Sabi nga ni Senator Lakson talagang pabida yan eh. Eh bigla siyang natanggal sa pwesto. Saglit pa lang siya natanggal na nabitin. Oh ano anong nangyari? Siguro dahil doun kaya galit na galit siya kay Laxon at lahat ng ginawa niyang pangkontra, pangkampe sa diskaya, pagkampe sa mga ano sa mga kay Gutesa tinuruan pa.

Ay inilabas lahat nila Actiontion eh. Eh total binastos mo na sila pinersonal mo na e ‘ ba personal na oh. So ayan mga kababayan ah naku durog na durog si Marcoleta dito kay Senator Ping Laxon kasi naman halatang halata na itong si Marcoleta ay parang ah hindi ata para sa ano para sa bansa ah kaya nga tinawag na tsinador eh at doun sa mga iba’t ibang issue ayan inopen naman ni Senator Laxon talagang ano to talagang ah hindi makamubon talaga sigurong inggit pikit kay Lon eh dahil nga natatanggal agad siya diyan sa pagiging

chairman ng Blue Ribon At ah ito nagreklamo na naman reklamador eh. Bakit daw ganon? Pinagsalita si Lakson pero siya hindi naman pinagsasalita. Pinagsasalita sa huli lang eh. Sorry ka. Hindi mo kasi pinapaliwanag kisubiri kung ano yung ano mo eh. Babanat ka pala kay Luxon hindi mo agad sinasabi. O yan tuloy ginabi ka na ‘ ba.

So ‘yun lamang po mga kababayan ang ating update. Ah naku namang kwenta sasabihin nito pero tingnan natin ah pag-usapan natin yung response ni Marcoleta sa sinasabi ni Senator. Pero for the meantime, tutok-tutok lang po dito sa Batang Maynila Toid sa iba pang updates. Ingat po tayong lahat. God bless po.
