00:00the statements made by former Senator Delima.
00:03During the investigation here in the Senate,
00:06during her term when she was still a senator,
00:09there was still no evidence regarding the so-called DDS.
00:13When she was the CHR chairman,
00:16there was still no investigation and there was still no evidence.
00:22When she was the secretary of DOJ,
00:25which is a very, very, which is a very, very powerful cabinet position,
00:31there was still no evidence.
00:35And until now, that is still what she is saying,
00:38there is still no one who wants to testify,
00:41there is still no one who wants to,
00:43there is still no one who is being accused.
00:46So I think that is a matter of incompetence, Mr. Chair.
00:51I take strong exception to that, Your Honor.
00:56Okay, to be fair, okay, to be fair.
00:59The chair will be fair.
01:01Excuse me, everybody, Mr. President.
01:02Wait a minute.
01:03Okay.
01:05I did not like...
01:06Yes, Senator Delima, okay, just a short response.
01:10I did not like that conclusion that I did not make
01:14or that it was incompetent.
01:17That is a far-fetched description of me.
01:20I always do my job,
01:22depending on the circumstances,
01:24depending on what is really going to happen.
01:27And it is not true that during the Senate inquiry,
01:29Matubato was there.
01:31I did present myself.
01:33But after I presented him,
01:34I left as a Senate chairperson.
