54 TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012Senator Drilon. Okay. At iyan po ay—May I direct this question now to Attorney Roy?Those 4,839 shares constituted 90 percent, more or less, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation?Mr. Roy. To my understanding, Your Honor, yes, that is correct.Senator Drilon. And <strong>the</strong> sale took place when? 2003, auction sale?Mr. Roy. The auction sale, Your Honor, for <strong>the</strong> record, will show September 30, 2003.Senator Drilon. September 30, 2003, 4,839 shares which is almost 90 percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>corporation.The Presiding Officer. 97 percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation.Senator Drilon. 97 percent. Sorry, Sir, 97. Ah, 90.7. Which is 90.7 percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporationwas sold for P28,000 to Carla Corona-Castillo.Mr. Roy. That is my understanding, Your Honor.Senator Drilon. And as <strong>of</strong> June 5, 2001, <strong>the</strong> corporation had in its c<strong>of</strong>fers at least P34,703,800which is <strong>the</strong> proceeds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sale <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Basa-Guidote property to <strong>the</strong> City <strong>of</strong> Manila, is that correct?Mr. Roy. That appears to be <strong>the</strong> evidence on record, Your Honor.Senator Drilon. Yes. So that <strong>the</strong> corporation was purchased by <strong>the</strong> daughter <strong>of</strong> Cristina Coronafor P28,000 when Cristina Corona, as assistant corporate secretary, knew at that time that <strong>the</strong>re wasat least P34,703,000 in <strong>the</strong> checking account or in <strong>the</strong> bank account <strong>of</strong> Basa-Guidote.Mr. Roy. Not to quibble, Your Honor, but yes, it appears that way.Senator Drilon. You do not have to quibble because those are <strong>the</strong> facts.Now, where are <strong>the</strong> shares now?Mr. Roy. Well, Your Honor, if you are asking—are you asking about <strong>the</strong> certificate?Senator Drilon. No, no, <strong>the</strong> certificates <strong>of</strong> stock. The certificates <strong>of</strong> stock, in whose nameis it now?Mr. Roy. I have not seen <strong>the</strong>m, Your Honor. I do know, I think I can tell you candidly that<strong>the</strong> Stock and Transfer Book cannot be located at this time.Senator Drilon. All right. Mr. Sheriff, noong binenta na po ito, ikaw ay gumawa ng—ano ang tawag doon—certificate <strong>of</strong> sale.Mr. Bisnar. Certificate <strong>of</strong> Sale po, Your Honor.Senator Drilon. Certificate <strong>of</strong> Sale.Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Senator Drilon. At ano po ang nakalagay sa Certificate <strong>of</strong> Sale? Na ang 4,839 na sharesay nasa pangalan na ng Carla Corona-Castillo?Mr. Bisnar. Carla Castillo po.Senator Drilon. Ha?
TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012 55Mr. Bisnar. Carla Castillo po.Senator Drilon. Carla—The Presiding Officer. With <strong>the</strong> permission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gentleman from Iloilo.Paano mo nalaman na iyong binebenta mo na shares <strong>of</strong> stock sang-ayon sa writ <strong>of</strong> executionay talagang nasa pangalan noong Jose Basa na pinagbabayad ng half a million pesos kung wala,sinasabi ng abogado, <strong>the</strong> Stock and Transfer Book was not available? Paano mo nalaman kungsino ang mga stockholder at kung magkano ang shares <strong>of</strong> stock ng bawat isa sa kanila?Mr. Bisnar. Dahil ho doon sa sulat ni Mrs. Corona sa akin.The Presiding Officer. Ah, sinabi lang sa iyo ni Mrs. Corona?Mr. Bisnar. Opo, through a letter.The Presiding Officer. Kaya nga, ang source <strong>of</strong> information mo na ang may-ari noong shares<strong>of</strong> stock na ibinebenta mo ay si Jose Basa Corona ay si Mrs. Cristina Corona, hindi ba?Mr. Bisnar. Opo.The Presiding Officer. Anong basehan niya? Alam mo ba?Mr. Bisnar. Hindi ko po alam eh.The Presiding Officer. Walang sinabi ang abogado, ni admission against interest, walangstock and transfer book.Mr. Bisnar. Wala pong—wala naman pong sinabi. Walang nabanggit.The Presiding Officer. Kaya nga, oh.Yes.Mr. Roy. Your Honor, if I may?I think <strong>the</strong> sheriff testified, perhaps he was unable to connect <strong>the</strong> facts that she was also <strong>the</strong> assistantcorporate secretary …The Presiding Officer. Yes.Mr. Roy. … Mrs. Corona and would know, would know <strong>the</strong> stockholdings, presumably shouldknow.The Presiding Officer. How do you know that?Mr. Roy. That was what <strong>the</strong> sheriff himself said that she informed <strong>the</strong> sheriff that she was <strong>the</strong>assistant corporate secretary. And in fact, during <strong>the</strong> time that <strong>the</strong> execution was taking place, it wouldappear that she was <strong>the</strong> highest ranking <strong>of</strong>ficer.The Presiding Officer. But what about <strong>the</strong> estate proceeding that was pending? The res orproperty <strong>of</strong> that estate proceeding are shares <strong>of</strong> stock in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Rosario …Mr. Roy. Asuncion, Asuncion.The Presiding Officer.No, no, no, <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r.
