(We hold on to the statement of Secretary Guevarra that they
will try to ensure a fair process.)
“So what we’re asking the DOJ to do is sabihan naman niyo
iyong mga complainants na pulis, na iyong sinasabi nilang resulta ng
imbestigasyon, iyong sinasabi nilang ebidensyang hawak nila, bigyan kami ng
kopya para naman maayos iyong maging sagot namin at maging patas iyong laban,”
he added.
(So what we were asking the DOJ is to tell the complainants,
which are the police, to give us a copy of the results of the investigation,
that they have evidence, so we can reply for this to be a fair fight.)
The Vice President’s spokesperson and her lead
counsel Marlon Manuel were together when they asked the DOJ to order the Philippine
National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP CIDG)to present
the evidence in its custody against Vice
President Robredo.
The Robredo camp told the DOJ that
the “submission of the counter-affidavit be deferred pending receipt of
evidence if any.”
Manuel cites, Rule 112 of the Rules of Court, “the respondent shall have
the right to examine the evidence submitted by the complaint which he may not
have been furnished and to copy at his expense.”
“Kaya nga sa puntong ito, ang
gusto namin, play fair, ‘di ba. Ipakita niyo iyong buong ebidensya (That’s why
at this point we want is they play fair. Present all your evidence),” he said.
“Galangin niyo iyong karapatan ng
mga respondents sa isang criminal investigation. Sundin niyo iyong sarili
niyong mga patakaran para hindi na lang magulat tayo isang araw at mayroon nang
resulta itong hindi inaasahan ng kahit sino,” he added.
(Respect the rights of the
respondents in a criminal investigation. Follow your own rules so we won’t be
surprised that one day it already has results unexpected by everyone.)
