‘RESPONSIBILIDAD PO NINYO’
Senator-judge Erwin Tulfo reprimanded assessor Engr. John Kenneth Enumerables on Tuesday, Nov. 10, over his lack of coordination with the Registry of Deeds and the Land Registration Authority (LRA) regarding property discrepancies.

‘PAPA’NO KAYO NAGING ASSESSOR?’
Senator-judge Erwin Tulfo grilled assessor Engr. John Kenneth Enumerables on Tuesday, Nov. 10, over assessing a property without personal knowledge of the area.
Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero stepped in to clarify that it was Vice President Sara Duterte, not the witness, who listed “Barangay Matanos” in her SALN, noting Enumerables consistently identified the property in Barangay San Isidro, Igacos. #VPonTrial

“We don’t want to have a repeat of that kind of testimony.”
Senator-judge Ping Lacson laments what he describes as a witness making a “mockery” of the impeachment trial during the previous hearing.
Citing Senate Resolution No. 39, Lacson reminds everyone that the impeachment court has the power to cite individuals for contempt. #VPonTrial

‘MAGKAIBA ANG LOKASYON, PAANO ‘YON?’
Presiding officer Francis “Chiz” Escudero questioned the discrepancy in the location of a property declared in Vice President Sara Duterte’s SALN, which listed Brgy. Matanos, while documents presented by City of Samal assessor Engr. John Kenneth Enumerables identified Brgy. San Isidro.
Enumerables initially confirmed that both referred to the same property based on market value and assessed value, but said no Brgy. Matanos exists in the Island Garden City of Samal. #VPonTrial

PARANG DIESEL ‘YAN
WATCH: Presiding Officer Sen. Chiz Escudero says Tuesday that he cannot say when Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial will finish as the timeline of the proceedings will now depend on the defense’s presentation of evidence and the length of trial.
He says only one defense witness was presented Monday but believes that the proceedings will move forward faster in the coming days.
Escudero reiterates, however, his hope that the trial will be completed before Christmas or New Year. #VPonTrial | @bellepechayINQ
