44 TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012Mr. Ginez. It is found, Your Honor, in Section 9, Execution <strong>of</strong> Judgments for Money, HowEnforced, and this is under paragraph (b), Satisfaction by Levy. And I direct <strong>the</strong> attention <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>esteemed Counsel <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Defendant on subparagraph (4), and it states, I read it for <strong>the</strong> record: “Realproperty, stocks, shares, debts, credits, and o<strong>the</strong>r personal property or any interest in ei<strong>the</strong>r real orpersonal property may be levied upon in like manner and with like effect as under a writ <strong>of</strong> attachment.”The Presiding Officer. All right.Mr. Ginez. So, maybe, Justice Cuevas has forgotten his rules, Your Honor. [Laughter]Mr. Cuevas. I have been teaching <strong>the</strong> subject for no less than three decades, Your Honor. And<strong>the</strong> law, toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> jurisprudence and <strong>the</strong> point, is very specific. You do not apply <strong>the</strong> rule onattachment. What <strong>the</strong> law simply means by <strong>the</strong> levy could be effected similar to that <strong>of</strong> attachment ismerely an analogy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process that will have to be undertaken. But, definitely, <strong>the</strong> rule on attachmentdoes not apply in execution.The Presiding Officer. At any rate, this will be evaluated by <strong>the</strong> Court. What is material hereis, he is testing <strong>the</strong> credibility <strong>of</strong> this Witness. Because even <strong>the</strong> Court is interested to find out whe<strong>the</strong>rindeed <strong>the</strong>re was machination in <strong>the</strong>....to be frank about it, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re was machination in <strong>the</strong> sale<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shares.Mr. Cuevas. Yes, Your Honor. We are very appreciative for <strong>the</strong> Court going that far.The Presiding Officer. That is <strong>the</strong> understanding <strong>of</strong> this Chair with <strong>the</strong> tendency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> questions.Mr. Cuevas. But if <strong>the</strong> Court will notice, Your Honor, and with <strong>the</strong> kind indulgence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Court,<strong>the</strong> question before was predicated on Rule 57, not on this particular rule that he is now citing.The Presiding Officer. Anyway, let us not wrangle on this. We are all intelligent people.We will take that into account. Let <strong>the</strong> Witness answer.Mr. Cuevas. What is <strong>the</strong> question now?Mr. Ginez. Ang tanong ko po sa inyo, Sheriff, ay iyong Notice <strong>of</strong> Garnishment ninyo na nakaaddresspo doon sa Basa-Guidote Enterprises ay hindi po nai-serve sa presidente o sa managingagent nito, hindi po ba? At ang totoo ay sa isang, sabi ninyo, caretaker lamang ng bahay na iyon.Mr. Bisnar. Opo, pero may sumagot po na <strong>of</strong>ficer ng Basa-Guidote.Mr. Ginez. Iyon. Pupunta po tayo doon, Sheriff. So, pagkatapos po ninyong mai-serve angNotice <strong>of</strong> Garnishment, ang sabi po ninyo ay may sumagot na “<strong>of</strong>ficer” ng Basa-Guidote?Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Mr. Ginez. Ito po ay si Cristina Roco Corona, Assistant Corporate Secretary, sa pamamagitanng isang sulat na ibinigay sa inyo.Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Mr. Ginez. And this was marked by <strong>the</strong> Defense, Your Honor, as Exhibit “179”.Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Mr. Ginez. At hindi po ba, Sheriff, na si—at alam ninyo na si Cristina Roco Corona ay siyarin ang private complainant sa kasong ito?
TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012 45Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Mr. Ginez. Siya rin ang iniuutos ng Korte, ng Branch 216, na babayaran kung sakalingmare-recover ninyo iyong P500,000.00, hindi po ba?Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Mr. Ginez. Ngayon, Sheriff, dito sa Reply ni Ginang Corona, ang sinasabi sa inyo, and Iwould like to quote it for <strong>the</strong> record, Your Honor, if I will be allowed. “In reply to <strong>the</strong> notice <strong>of</strong>garnishment dated May 14, 2003, please be informed that based on records submitted by <strong>the</strong> accusedin Court, <strong>the</strong> stockholdings claimed by Jose Maria Basa III and Raymunda G. Basa in Basa-GuidoteEnterprises Inc. are as follows:Stockholder Raymunda Basa, number <strong>of</strong> shares — 110, amount — P11,000; Jose Maria Basa III,number <strong>of</strong> shares — 4,729, amount — P472,900 or a total <strong>of</strong> P4,839 shares in <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong>P483,900.”Ang tanong ko po sa inyo, Sheriff, noong ibinigay po ito ni Ginang Corona, ito po aytinanggap ninyo na as gospel truth?Mr. Bisnar. Dahil wala naman....Sila ho ang title niya doon sa corporation eh wala namanakong dahilan para hindi paniwalaan iyon.Mr. Ginez. Hindi po kayo nagpunta sa Securities and Exchange Commission?Mr. Bisnar. Hindi po.Mr. Ginez. Sheriff, hindi po ba sinabi sa inyo ni Gng. Cristina Corona na siya ay nag-file ngisang petisyon sa Korte, sa probate court, na ang sinasabi niya sa korte na iyon, ang nagmamayaring shares <strong>of</strong> stocks or about 87% ng shares <strong>of</strong> stocks ng Basa-Guidote Enterprises ay angkanyang lola na si Asuncion Roco? Hindi po ba sinabi sa inyo ito?Mr. Cuevas. Before <strong>the</strong> Witness answers, may he be served with a copy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> alleged pleading,Your Honor, <strong>the</strong> alleged statement <strong>of</strong> fact appearing in <strong>the</strong> pleading.The Presiding Officer. If <strong>the</strong> Prosecution has, please show <strong>the</strong> pleading.Mr. Ginez. We reserve, Your Honor, that <strong>the</strong> voluminous records that we have, unfortunately,we did not bring <strong>the</strong> petition for probate but it is a fact, Your Honor, that <strong>the</strong>re was a probate....Mr. Cuevas. With <strong>the</strong> kind permission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Court, <strong>the</strong>refore, we will move to strike out <strong>the</strong>question, Your Honor.The Presiding Officer. Let it stay in <strong>the</strong> record.Senator Sotto. Mr. President, may we recognize Senator Lacson?Senator Lacson. I am sorry to interject, Mr. President. Interesado lamang po ako. Ito pongmga kapanahunan na pinag-uusapan natin, kung alam ng Counsel ng Prosecution or ng Defense,may katungkulan po ba sa gobyerno si Chief Justice Corona? Siya po ba ay private citizen or kungmay katungkulan man, ano po ba ang katungkulan niya itong mga panahon na ating dini-discusssa ngayon?Mr. Ginez. Mayroon na pong katungkulan.Senator Lacson. Ano po iyon?
