00:00Do you understand what we're saying, Cassandra?
00:04In fact, you were given a chance by Congressman Roge Gutierrez
00:10to answer the questions that are not incriminating.
00:15I am certain that your counsel has been giving you this advice
00:21to say what is written there that you refuse to testify.
00:27But like what we mentioned earlier about jurisprudence,
00:32you cannot hide your right against self-incrimination
00:39in this hearing because the Supreme Court allows
00:45you to be compelled to answer the questions.
00:51Since you are not cooperating in this hearing,
00:58there is now a motion upon the motion by Congressman Benny Abante to cite you
01:03again for contempt and hearing no objections from the members
01:10of this committee, the chair rules that you are
01:15cited in contempt.
