[mr.pakielamero]

Yari ka AGUIRRE.. sipsip pa more. Hindi natutulog ang hustisya, ., masyado nyo binastos ang batas..

Ragos should be tried for perjury for every count of the prosecutions accusations proven true which he denied. That is the problem in the criminal procedure when depositions are not recorded in audio-video format and each instance the accused perjured himself against solid evidence like CCTV recordings are not taken into account. Mere sworn statements cannot overturn testimonies offered with the aid of lawyers in a Congressional hearing. These testimonies were candid and spontaneous and recorded live in audio-video format. The entire narrative obtained from the hearings explains where de Lima got his campaign funds. The deaths of JB Sebastian and others were not autopsied. The recantation of the witnesses alleged that they were forced by Aguirre but Aguirre was not tried for obstruction of justice. They have to try Aguirre and prove he influenced the testimonies of the witnesses against de Lima. That was never proven nor tried. The court cannot jump to that conclusion .

The prosecution via certiorari can question the lower court's admission of the recanted testimony without proof of the alleged influence by then secretary of justice Aguirre.
