00:00 We still have on the line PDEA leaks and other issues. We will interview Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa. Good morning Senator de la Rosa.
00:10 Good morning to you Susan and to our viewers. Good morning.
00:15 Senator, PDEA said that there's no pre-operation report. Are you convinced that there's no such document?
00:27 Well, I believe both sides. When PDEA said that it's non-existent as far as they're concerned, it's really non-existent.
00:37 Whatever they have in their inventory of records, they cannot see it because it was stolen, removed from the records and spread on social media.
00:48 When Morales said that the documents he made are authentic, based on my investigation, those documents are authentic.
01:02 First of all, if it's said to be authentic, Morales himself made those documents and admitted that he made them.
01:12 Second, I asked PDEA who are the vehicles listed there that will be used in their surveillance and casing operations.
01:26 In the authority to operate, they all identified that the PDEA vehicles are organic and the other is a personal vehicle of the team leader, Francia.
01:45 Those are the two points. The third point, which is heavy, which proves that those are authentic documents and not AI-generated as being claimed by PDEA or computer-generated,
02:03 is the copy of the paper that circulates, which we can see in the confidential area, we can see the hole that was used by the puncher to put it in the folder.
02:19 If you're a good investigator, you cannot do a drawing. If you xerox it, you can see the hole when you photocopy it.
02:31 So that's why those documents are authentic. The circumstantial facts that are said to be authentic is that, the one admitted by Marcell Soriano,
02:48 he's the owner and occupant of that vehicle that is subject for surveillance and casing operations. Everything points towards the authenticity of that particular document.
03:06 Some senators are doubting the credibility of the former PDEA agent Jonathan Morales because he can't remember the name of his informant.
03:15 Do you still trust the former agent Morales Senator?
03:19 Well, it's his own opinion. As a former police officer, I doubt that Jonathan Morales, being the handler of that confidential informant,
03:34 he's staying in the code between the handler and the informant. You will never lose your confidential informant.
03:46 That's why he's not saying anything. That's my only doubt.
03:50 You will invite President Bongbong Marcos to the Senate hearing because the name of the President has been changed and he was just admitted by the President.
03:58 No, no. If we invite President Bongbong Marcos, we need to invite President Duterte.
04:06 If our hearing is politicized, we will lose our objectivity.
04:13 We're different Senator. Former Senator Antonio Trillanes reported that the ICC is about to issue an arrest warrant for drug war criminals.
04:25 What is your reaction to this and do you have a say in what former Senator Trillanes is saying?
04:32 Just tell Trillanes to hurry up. He's slow. He's slow. He's the one who issued the warrant. He should hurry up if he's already there.
04:45 That's the message you will send to Senator Trillanes. Anyway, thank you very much Senator Ronald Baton Del Oso. Good morning to you.
04:56 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to you Susan. Thank you.
