Transcript of interview with Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano -- Senate Session Hall

Again I'll emphasize his life is not endanger alam nya na pinaguusapan na whether sa senado o sa labas nya in fact yon na lang ang iniisip nya. He already made statements publicly he wants to talk about... he wants to challenge the government to come out with the truth, investigations etc. So I did it because I was honest with the media , they were asking me what to expect next... may witness ba etc... It did not put his life endanger...

Sino sinubpoena nyo?

Lahat ng di nagpunta last time the we invited yung nakita naming pangalan sa log book Corporal Ramilla . We're also inviting the PSG head and whoever was in the airport at that time. We're also inviting Deputy ES Manny Gaite and that's for Tuesday.

Do you believe in his story?

Well Im happy that he admitted na sa kanya galling ang pera so we'll find out sa hearing whether yung circumstance would lead us to believe na its really a loan... Tatlo ang question dyan e... one is sa kanya ba talaga galling ang pera no. 2 loan ba ito or it was something else third is yung circumstances kasi halimbawa yung sinabi lang nya para sa giniginaw o sinabi nya na utang lang yan...

Allowed ba ang senate na maging receptacle ng evidence?

Definitely when we have hearings we get the evidence for the appreciation ng committee.

Yung zte ba ibabalik nyo ...bakit yung kay defensor ibinalik nyo?

Possibly..Ayaw ko munang pangunahan yung... for example iba yung hindi namin ininterpret na bribe money.. yung kay defensor ibinalik yon ni Jun in our presence na kaiba yon sa kung isinurender sa amin ni Jun yung 50 rather na idineretspo yon kay Mike we might have not return that also right away.

I think ang gagawin muna ng Committee is to determine what was it kasi kung nadetermine ng committee na bribe money yon susundin naming ang batas kung anong gagawin don.

double standard yon bat yung kay defensor?

Because hindi binigay sa amin at hindi lumabas na bribe money yon. But I have to admit na hindi perfect ang sistema naming sa ganyan because wala nga kaming standard rule for things like that. In the same way na hindi namin kinuha yung kay Panlilio but in the case kasi ng 500 si jun ang may gusto na hawakan na naming ang 500.

Naniniwala ka ba s \a story ni Gaite?

I want to hear further but medyo may suspiscion ako na ganon lang ba kadali na magpautang ng 500 thousand sa hindi mo naman ganon ka close. San galling ang pera?

May statement din ako sa DOJ Ombudsman sinasabayan lang kami... Siguro isang challenge sa kanila is sabayan nyo na rin ng hearing sa fertilizer scam, sa north rail, sa south rail para mapakita nyo sa tao at mabigyan kayo ng credibility at hindi nyo lang sinasabayan para mawala ang focus ng mga tao dito... Why do you have to wait for something like this to happen to have your own investigation so to show the people bat hindi mo ngayon isabay ang mga issues na ito napakarami naman.
