00:00 Former PIDEA agent Jonathan Morales was recently executed for continuing the listening of Senator Somonoy PIDEA Nix.
00:09 Some senators said that Morales is lying in his statements.
00:16 They also said that there is no evidence to prove it.
00:20 And not only did the senators turn around because they are witnesses,
00:25 they also said that they are against Morales. Let's get an update from Daniel Manalastas live.
00:33 Daniel.
00:34 Aldo, Dayan, Maan, the listening of Senator Somonoy PIDEA Nix has become tense.
00:43 Some senators are continuing to question the credibility of some resource persons.
00:48 From the dangerous drugs board, we have Secretary...
00:52 In the continuation of the listening of Senator Somonoy PIDEA Nix,
00:56 former PIDEA agent Jonathan Morales was hot-seated by some senators.
01:02 In that case, you admitted that you have planted evidence.
01:08 How can we believe what you're saying?
01:12 You didn't just make up stories, you also made alleged leaked documents.
01:18 What can you say Mr. Morales?
01:20 Your Honor, I cannot see the relevance of the decision of the Civil Service Commission.
01:27 What we are discussing here, Your Honor...
01:30 Wait, wait, wait. I am testing your credibility Mr. Morales.
01:35 You have a string of cases filed against you.
01:39 No, no, no. I am testing...
01:41 The investigation board that I made...
01:43 Why don't you want to answer? Why are you avoiding the questions?
01:46 Don't avoid it.
01:48 It's very true that you planted evidence.
01:50 But according to the Civil Service Commission decision,
01:54 and it was affirmed by the Supreme Court that you planted evidence.
01:57 No, Your Honor.
01:59 Next, Estrada pointed out Morales' credibility in his allegations.
02:04 The senator asked where the evidence is.
02:07 We asked PIDEA, if it came from PIDEA.
02:11 Your Honor, there are no such documents in PIDEA.
02:14 Who is lying? You are the one who is lying.
02:18 Your Honor, I am not lying.
02:20 Then what are you?
02:22 I am just telling the truth.
02:23 This is our resource person. He is lying.
02:26 Why?
02:27 The first thing I asked him in the last hearing was who is his confidential informant.
02:32 His answer to me or to us is that he does not know.
02:36 Now, when you asked him, he said he has it but he might tell you.
02:43 Am I right?
02:45 It means that he has a confidential informant that he doesn't want to name.
02:50 But in the last hearing, he told us that he doesn't know.
02:57 This is a lie of this person.
02:59 The former PIDEA chief, retired General Junicio Santiago, also admitted that he is a spy for Morales.
03:07 There are professional spies.
03:09 Don't be angry, Jonathan. Our friends call you STL.
03:14 Don't forget STL. They know you personally.
03:19 What is STL? I know, it's a small town lottery.
03:24 Professional Storytelling Alliance.
03:29 Estrada said that if Morales will continue the hearing, the credibility of the hearing might be lost.
03:36 That's why Estrada reminded his colleagues,
03:39 We have to vet our resource person.
03:41 It's not like this where we believe that there are many cases.
03:48 That's why we held a hearing here so we can validate what he said.
03:53 That's all I want to hear everyone.
03:56 Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri also reminded that he will not allow Senate hearings to be used in politics.
04:03 While certain claims were made, documentary evidence is yet to be presented.
04:08 There were no pictures, no corroborating testimonies.
04:12 In other words, this was solely based on the testimony of one person based on what appears to be hearsay evidence.
04:19 Senators also refused to look at leaked documents.
04:23 But PIDEA said,
04:25 These documents do not exist in the records of the National Operations Center of PIDEA.
04:32 So, like what we saw in the previous slide,
04:35 The serial number in March 10 and March 12, 2012 is the same.
04:40 The serial number ends with the number 1 and the serial number ends with the number 1 and 2.
04:47 If what we have is a picture of a photocopy,
04:52 How can we know how old that paper is?
04:57 If there is a hole, it means it was in the folder before.
05:02 But how can we know if the paper is brown or old?
05:04 Because of the revelations in the hearings, Senator Chiz Escudero was questioned.
05:09 How far can we call on the name mentioned by General Morales?
05:14 He mentioned Ms. Maricel Soriano, we invited her.
05:18 General Kakdak was mentioned, we invited him.
05:22 General Serapio was invited.
05:24 Like what I said, Mr. Chairman, at some point in time,
05:31 We have to rein in how far we can go.
05:39 It's hard to mention every name.
05:42 We will do it depending on the hearing, if it will continue or not.
05:51 According to some Senate sources,
05:54 Some senators have already stopped the hearing of the Umanoy P. Deyalix.
06:00 But Senator Bardo Tela Rosa is still insisting on another hearing
06:04 That could be held next week.
06:07 But Ma'am, this might be the last hearing they will do.
06:12 Ma'am?
06:13 Daniel, what other possible calculations of the Senate for the next hearing
06:19 Now that the sources and documents of General Morales have been confirmed
06:24 And his credibility is being said
06:27 For other senators, is there any chance for this to continue?
06:33 What next steps or discussions will be done in this hearing?
06:37 Ma'am, there are still some resource persons that Senator Bardo Tela Rosa wants to face
06:47 In this hearing.
06:49 So far, it seems that some senators have already been hit.
06:53 They want to be hit, not just in this hearing.
06:56 But based on what we heard, based on what we saw earlier,
07:02 It seems that some senators here in Saraysay are not convinced
07:07 Of the former PDEA agent, General Morales.
07:11 And Daniel, if only an example that the allegations were not proven,
07:17 What could possibly happen to Morales?
07:19 What will be the Senate's plan for him?
07:22 It still depends on what will be released in the committee report of the chairperson,
07:31 Which is Senator Bardo Tela Rosa, on what will happen, on the conclusion.
07:36 It still depends on the Senators' opinion on this matter.
07:42 But if you will base the hearings, anyone has the right to blame Morales
07:50 If they can prove that he is not telling the truth.
07:53 But so far, it is still in the hands of the chairperson
07:58 What will he do, what will be his plan in the committee report.
08:03 All right. Thank you very much, Daniel Manalastas.
