By the way, here’s a summary of the Articles of Impeachment which was published by ABS CBN news a few days ago. After four days of trial they are still under Article 2 bypassing Article 1 for future hearing.
Day 4, Case No. 0022011
Day 4 may be boring to some but for me, it’s the highlight of the last four days of the Impeachment trial. The Prosecution were able to present only three witnesses today, Atty. Randy Rutaquio, Register of Deeds of Taguig City, Atty. Carlo Alcantara, Register of Deeds of Quezon City and Atty. Segfrey Garcia, Register of Deeds of Marikina. They came complete with the original TCTs )Transfer Certificate of Title and CCTs (Condominium Certificate of Title), copies of which were marked by the Prosecution to ensure their veracity and existence. These titles are not yet presented as evidences but the Defense panel seems to have lots of objections. There were moments when the Defense had a continuing objections to every statement that the witnesses uttered. I am overwhelmed by the number of real estate properties listed in their names, in the names of their children and son-in-law.
I was curious when one of the anchors of ABS CBN mentioned that she has previously seen SALNs of other government officials and yet the declaration of properties acquired by in-laws and children are not listed there and Atty. Vicky Avena, their resident political analyst said that under RA 6713, they are obliged. I got curious so I searched it on the net and here’s what it says.
So now we know and I am certainly learning a lot watching this hearing.
