TRANSCRIPT OF PRESS CONFERENCE OF SENATOR GUINGONA

Q: Aabot ba itong imbestigasyon na ito hanggang kay dating pangulong Arroyo?

STG: Wala naman lumalabas na connection. Until may magsalita at tumestigo .

Q: Ipapatawag ba si dating Congressman Pichay?

STG: Hindi naming ipapatawag pero iimbitahan namin. Iimbitahin muna namin sapagkat everyone has the right to give their side. So, iimbitahan din naming si former Congressman Pichay para makasalita siya.

Q: Ano po ang inyong assessment sa pahayag ni Ms. Cabrera?

STG: General denial lang naman ginawa niya. We have to ask more proving questions next time.

Q: May hawak bang documents si Sen. Drilon sa sinasabi niyang condo units ni Ms. Cabrera?

STG: I suppose so because he did mention that until next time he will produce documents.

Q: Kapag itinanggi po niya iyon ano ang mangyayari kay Cabrera?

STG: She's under oath. Let's wait first, until Sen. Drilon confronts her with the documents. Buwag natin pangunahan.

Q: Cite for contempt of General Reyes.

STG: Yes, that would be discussed also sapagkat iyan ang request ng ibang senador. Aalamin pa naming kung ano 'yung specific requests ng mga senador. Kaya kami mag-uusap at kaya tinigil ko muna ang hearing para may oras na makapag-usap kami.

Q: On inviting the wife of General Ligot and General Reyes.

STG: The spouse of General Ligot will be invited . There is still no request for the spouse of General Reyes.

Q: Wala kayong nakikitang rason para ipatawag si Mrs. Reyes?

STG: We will leave that to Senator Jinggoy who's handling that issue.

Q: As Blue Ribbon Chairman?

STG: Until I get a request. I have no official request yet from any senator.

Q: Puro mga verbal lang ang allegations ni Rabusa kila Pichay.

STG: Hindi naman. He said that they are all documented . He had a powerpoint and because it was very lengthy , he could not go document per document. He did say that he has two boxes (ba?) na hindi nasunog. He will be submitting it. We requested him to submit to us.

Q: May solid eveidence ba 'yung binigay niyang pera kay Pichay?

STG: The first solid evidence is testimony. It does not mean that you need to have documentary evidence. Kaya nga mayroon tayong tinatawag na testigo. Tinetestify niya na 'yun ang narinig niya.

Q: At this point sir kumbinsido kayo sa credibility ni Col. Rabusa?

STG: Wala naman akong nakikitang motibo kung bakit siya magsisinungaling. So far, so good. So far, so consistent.
