MR. BALUTAN. …what I mean is that maybe or perhaps his insinuation that we support the administration is that we slacken security. THE CHAIRMAN. What were the exact words that he used? MR. BALUTAN. To loosen security so that – because during that time, the security of the marine battalion under my command was very strict. Only those persons inside the canvassing area were authorized, the representative… THE CHAIRMAN. Meaning, your task was to protect the integrity of the process. MR. BALUTAN. Correct, Your Honor, Mr. Chairman. THE CHAIRMAN. By preventing any incursion by any unauthorized people into the proceedings. MR. BALUTAN. Yes, Your Honor. THE CHAIRMAN. Yes. And you were strict. MR. BALUTAN. Very strict, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. And is this the one you are referring to as Colonel… MR. BALUTAN. Colonel Pirino, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. …Pirino when he asked you – what were the exact words he used? MR. BALUTAN. During the informal conference in the headquarters joint task force Lanao, 1 st Marine Brigade, he told us to support the administration, sir. THE CHAIRMAN. Support the administration. You had mentioned about slackening. What do you mean by that? MR. BALUTAN. Maybe that’s the only thing that we can do because we don’t have access or, what do you call this, kung papaano ginagawa ‘yong sa itaas, sir separate lang sa amin. THE CHAIRMAN. Okay. Now, in your understanding because, you know, there is a superior giving you – issuing you an order to do something like slackening. You used the word “slackening,” no. In your mind, how did that instruction to you by your superior interpreted by you? 92
MR. BALUTAN. In the first place, I did not follow the order because I know… THE CHAIRMAN. No, no, no. How did you interpret the meaning of that? MR. BALUTAN. To loosen security. THE CHAIRMAN. Anong dating sa ‘yo? MR. BALUTAN. Ang sa akin, sir, luwagan namin ‘yong security doon sa mga canvassing areas perhaps to allow cheating. (emphasis supplied) xxx xxx xxx THE CHAIRMAN. Yes, okay. Do you know of any other officers in the Armed Forces, any unit in the Armed Forces that might have been issued instructions, influences, advices, bribes, whatever, in their own area, not in your area who might have been placed in the same situation? MR. BALUTAN. I do not have any personal knowledge about this. But during that time when General Gudani was in Manila and the OIC, Colonel Pirino, was running the joint task force Lanao, … THE CHAIRMAN. Yes. MR. BALUTAN. …and practically commanding the 1 st Marine Brigade, somebody talked …/arg MR. BALUTAN. …somebody talked to me by cell phone that I had to follow the chain of command, meaning, they had to follow… THE CHAIRMAN. What do you mean by that “follow the chain of command”? MR. BALUTAN. “Follow the chain of command” meaning, that I have to follow Colonel Pirino. THE CHAIRMAN. Colonel Pirino. Sino’ng tumawag sa iyo? MR. BALUTAN. The southcom, Mr.Chairman. THE CHAIRMAN. Oh, pero … SEN. LACSON. Colonel Quingco MR. BALUTAN. Correct, Your Honor. THE CHAIRMAN. But you have a brigade commander. 93
