TRANSCRIPT OF PRESS CONFERENCE
AFTER THE 3RD HEARING ON HELICOPTERS

Q: On STG's opppening statement welcoming FG

STG: Kaya nga nakikiusap ako na huwag na siya magtago sa likod ng medical certificate. Nakita natin na lumakas ang ebidensiya laban kay Mr. Mike Arroyo . Lumabas 'yung dokyumento na yung pera pang down payment ay dinaan sa LTA, binigay sa bank account ng Lion Air at doon galing sa Lion Air ay binayad sa helicopter company sa United States. Yung testimony ni Ms. Edith Juguan na siya mismo at nakikita niya na siya mismo nagbibilang at tinatanggap niya yung pera sa opisina ni Mr. Mike Arroyo. Third, yung dispatcher ng Lion Air, yung limang helicopter sa Lion Air and he take orders only from Mr. Mike Arroyo as to when the helicopter will fly and as to where the helicopter will fly.

Q: Kailan ipapa-check ang health condition ni Mr. Arroyo?

STG: We're sending already the letter to the Heart Center and it's up to the Heart Center and the Senate doctor . I suppose by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. That should be done.

Q: Kung valid yung sinabi niya na peligroso ang pagharap niya ay hindi na siya i-subpoena?

STG: Yes, kung valid naman as ascertain by the doctors of the government , then we will respect it.

Q: With or without him, matibay ang punto na sa kanya talaga ang helicopters?

STG: Matibay na matibay. Sana pumunta siya ditto para siya naman mabigyan ng pagkakataon na he wants to face his detractors ay andito na lahat.

Q: Kung hindi siya dumating ay will be his lost?

STG: It's going to be his lost because the people are watching this proceedings at kung hindi siya magsasalita ditto, saan pa siya magsasalita?

Q: Umapela si Senator Jinggoy na i-donate na lang sa AFP at sa PNP .

STG: Actually hindi pa klaro iyon. Puwede na iyong waiver. Kung mag waiver si Mr. Arroyo, puwede ng i-donate sa AFP at PNP.

Q: Kung nangyari iyon ay absuwelto na ba si Mr. Arroyo?

STG: Hindi. Ang sinasabi lang ay wini-waive niya any liability against Mr. Po.

Q: Hindi naman siya ma-compel na mag-issue ng waiver?

STG: No. You can't compel him to issue a waiver.

Q: The helicopters were also used during the campaign period related doon sa election cheating accusation.

STG: Yes, that seems to have been the testimony of the two pilots.

Q: Significance of the 2 new pilots?

STG: It goes to show that it strengthens the pattern that still again on the ownership that they did in fact, own it. Siguro naman sa ngayon wala ng magsasabi na brand new iyong mga iyon. It also adds the fact that it was not brand new. Even in 2004 it was already being used and the ones using it heavily was Mr. Arroyo and the Arroyo family.

Q: As far as ownership is concerned, hindi naman sinabi ng dalawang pilots . Passenger lang naman sila.

STG: You should take all the pieces of evidence together. You have heard so may testimonies from the dispatcher, from Rowena del Rosario to the documents of the bank transfers for the down payment, all these you should take together and make your conclusions.

Q: Sa mga PNP officials, how far is their responsibility?

STG: That still has to be answered . That's why we are requesting the presence of the former secretary Puno. There is responsibility all the way up to General Versoza.

Q: Significance of Sec. Puno?

STG: You remember it was in the light of the Volco that they wanted to purchase the remaining helicopters of Mr. Mike Arroyo.

Q: How many hearings to go?

STG: It's hard to say how many more but it seems that this thing is growing and growing because , before today ang pangalan ni Puno ay hindi masiyadong nabanggit at ngayon kailangan na tawagin. Before today, si former director Aglipay ay hindi nabanggit pero ngayon ay nabanggit, So it keeps on growing and growing.

Q: Puwede bang mangyari yung parang kay Ligot kay Mr. Arroyo?

STG: Possible din mangyari.

Q: Assuming na natestify ng mga doctors ng Heart Center na hindi talaga siya puwedeng pumunta, ang magiging committee report ay against sa kanya?

STG: No. It just means that he losses his chance to air his side. We will proceed . We cannot wait.

Q: Is there a cover up within the PNP?

STG: There's a cover up. That's very very clear. They are hiding something. They are not telling everything. There is a cover up here.

Q: Yung mga nakakalap ninyong information ay puwede bang magamit sa election fraud hearings considering yung mga sechedule ng biyahe sa Mindanao?

STG: Yes, ofcourse. These are official documents and they already entered into the records. Yes, definitely they can be use.
