00:00Cassandra Leong was again contempted by the camera for the second time and she was almost detained in the Correctional Institution for Women.

00:08But she finally returned the favor when she finally answered the questions of the congresswoman.

00:13As of now, she is still detained in the camera for the first contempt order that was given to her,

00:18even though she did not participate in the first hearings.

00:21Here is my report.

00:26I invoke my right to remain silent.

00:28From the moment she faced the camera,

00:30this is the answer of the man in 99 Pogo in Purak, Pampanga,

00:34when Cassandra Leong asked about her text that she did not want to be involved in the fight of a big person.

00:40Leong was still reluctant to answer.

00:42Attorney Ferdinand Topacio was also there.

00:45What I am saying is the right to remain silent.

00:48I would just like to remind Madam Cassandra Leong and her lawyer

00:53that what we are conducting here is not a custodial investigation

00:57where you can invoke your right to remain silent.

01:00There have been Supreme Court decisions on this.

01:03So I think the witness has to answer.

01:06Otherwise, we will move to citer in contempt for refusal to answer.

01:10Attorney Ferdinand Topacio was also there.

01:12Leong's lawyer was warned because he asked questions for his client.

01:17Even though Leong answered the question where he studied in college.

01:20Is that your first job in the man in 99?

01:26I refuse to testify.

01:28What is your first job in your life?

01:33I am sorry again. I refuse to testify.

01:37Where did you go to college?

01:39This will not incriminate you.

01:43It will.

01:44Because of the refusal to answer questions,

01:46Leong was formally denied for contempt and was sentenced to be detained in the women's correctional in Mandaluyong.

01:51You are cited in contempt and you will be detained.

01:55Julie Seconde, any objection?

01:57Hearing none, the motion is approved.

01:59There is a motion to detain Cassandra Leong at the women's correctional center located at?

02:09Mandaluyong.

02:10Mandaluyong.

02:11It's a detention facility, women's correctional.

02:16Julie Seconde, any objections?

02:19Hearing none, the motion is approved.

02:23After being ordered to be detained at the correctional,

02:25Leong was given the opportunity to speak again through the executive session.

02:30This is where Leong spoke about his thoughts on the case.

02:34Cassandra Leong was detained in the camera because she did not comply with the committee's request

02:39until she was arrested in Indonesia and deported back to the Philippines.

02:43Are you willing to avail of that?

02:46Attorney Tapasio, this is your last warning.

02:51You are coaching your client.

02:52Please stop whispering.

02:54Cassie, I have to remind you as well that this involves human trafficking.

03:01No bail.

03:02If you let this happen, you will be held accountable.

03:09This can be used against you.

03:10Can I think about it?

03:11Sure.

03:12But again, we will be warning you.

03:14According to the hearing,

03:16Leong's role in Lockheed South 99 and Whirlwind Corporation

03:20is based on the knowledge of the resource person who was invited to the hearing.

03:24He is my boss.

03:26What else is Cassandra Leong ordering you as your boss?

03:32Documents and cheques.

03:35Sometimes, she orders me to issue 10 pieces worth of 15,000.

03:43That's what I do.

03:45In other words, Ms. Baterna, you are just the issuer and the firmer.

03:50Is that right?

03:51That's right, Madam Chair.

03:52She is my colleague in the office.

03:54She is Mr. Wu's personal translator.

04:00She is always with me in meetings.

04:04Until such time, she is the one who deals with all the people you need to talk to.

04:11According to Eterne Tupasho,

04:13his lawyer is highly respected by his clients.

04:16Congressmen are also doing things to bully him.

04:19This is a violation of his constitutional rights.

04:23Mr. Leong also responded to the questions of the congressmen.

04:26But just for the information,

04:28he is not aware of the corporations he belongs to,

04:30such as Lucky South 99 and Whirlwind Corporation.
