SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. Nag-uusap sila? MR. MENDOZA. ...ni Villafuerte nang dumating po siya noon. SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. Nadidinig mo kung ano ang pinag-usapan nila? MR. MENDOZA. Hindi po, but ng nag… SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. All right. Thank you. So, hindi mo nakita si Bong Pineda na nagbigay ng pera kay President Arroyo, kung hindi narinig mo si Commissioner Garcillano, ‘no? Tama ba iyon? MR. MEDOZA. Yes, Your Honor. SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. All right, good. Thank you. Did you ever see President Arroyo distributing cash envelopes to any person, hindi lang kay Commissioner Garcillano? MR. MENDOZA. Wala po, Your Honor. SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. No. All right. Now, you seem to be a very idealistic young man and you even said in your affidavit, “When I was telling my classmate about these electoral irregularities, I felt like crying.” Napakalakas ng sentimiyento mo. MR. MENDOZA. Opo. SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. E di natural dahil marami kang naririnig laban kay President Arroyo, natural ba na hindi mo na siya gusto. Maybe we can use the word “you grew to dislike her” or shall we use a stronger word “you grew to hate her”. Ano kaya? MR. MENDOZA. Magaling po si President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, pero iyong na-witness ko po ay hindi ko na po nagustuhan iyon. SEN. DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. Hindi mo na siya nagustuhan noon. Iyan ba ang dahilan kung bakit noong ika’y naging estudyante ng Advanced Engineering Course sa Camp Tinio, Nueva Ecija, sinasabi na nag-distribute ka ng mga CDs laban kay President Arroyo. Iyan ba ang dahilan, dahil ayaw mo na siya eh. MR. MENDOZA. I was talking to my classmates and some upper classmen that there was really cheating in the last election." (emphasis supplied) Testimony of Marine Col. Alexander Balutan, under oath before the Senate on September 28, 2005 – about the pressure exerted on him by Army Col. Pirino to 90
“slacken” his otherwise very strict election security measures in Lanao del Sur, made possible by the fact that his Marine commander Brig. Gen. Francisco Gudani was irregularly relieved from duty and instructed to go to Manila, play golf or go to Boracay at the height of the counting of votes “THE CHAIRMAN. … I would like to pursue a question of Colonel Balutan. When you were there and during the conduct of elections, including the campaign period, the casting of the votes, and then the counting of the votes, did anyone approach you to try to suggest to you, to advice you, to influence you, to order you, or to bribe you to commit any act which you would think is violative of the Election Code? MR. BALUTAN. I can only remember, Mr. Chairman, that when the replacement of General Gudani, Colonel Pirino assumed as the… THE CHAIRMAN. As task force commander. MR. BALUTAN. …as task force commander. THE CHAIRMAN. Right. MR. BALUTAN. … which he was, in fact, telling us to, you know, support the administration. THE CHAIRMAN. Did he say this? SEN. LACSON. In the election. MR. BALUTAN. In the election, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. Did he say this? MR. BALUTAN. Yes, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. As task force commander that was temporarily at that point exercising operational control over you. MR. BALUTAN. Yes, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. Did he specify, did he define how this is going to be done? MR. BALUTAN. I do not know the mechanics of – there, sir, but in my capacity as the battalion commander, mine is only security and… THE CHAIRMAN. Yes. 91
