56 TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012Mr. Roy. Rosario.The Presiding Officer. Rosario Basa-Guidote.Mr. Roy. Yes, that is right.Your Honor, you …The Presiding Officer.Ah, Rosario Guidote-Basa.Mr. Roy. If we must go into <strong>the</strong> probate proceedings, it can be established <strong>the</strong>re that prior to<strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> Rosario, those shares were transferred and eventually ended up with Jose Basa. That isactually what happened. Although <strong>the</strong> petition itself is—The Presiding Officer. Before <strong>the</strong> …Mr. Roy. —in <strong>the</strong> probate court, Your Honor. There is an audit report to that effect.The Presiding Officer.Was that finished—that estate settled prior to <strong>the</strong> sale?Mr. Roy. No, Your Honor. And, in fact, Mrs. Corona was named as <strong>the</strong> administratrix in thatprobate proceeding. So, <strong>the</strong>re is an overlap <strong>of</strong> litigation.The Presiding Officer. Anyway, anyway.Mr. Ginez. Your Honor, can we comment on that because that is very important and that is nottrue, Your Honor.The Presiding Officer. Yes.Mr. Ginez. As <strong>of</strong> now, until now, Your Honor, <strong>the</strong> settlement proceedings, <strong>the</strong> intestate—<strong>the</strong>testate proceeding is still pending and it is still <strong>the</strong> claim <strong>of</strong> Cristina Corona as <strong>the</strong> special administratrix,that <strong>the</strong> shares <strong>of</strong> stock <strong>of</strong> Rosario Guidote-Basa is still intact, Your Honor. In fact, we did notpurposely go to <strong>the</strong> SEC cases because it will clutter <strong>the</strong> record. But in <strong>the</strong> two SEC cases involving<strong>the</strong> Basas, Your Honor, Cristina Corona is impugning <strong>the</strong> transfer <strong>of</strong> shares <strong>of</strong> stock from RosarioGuidote-Basa to o<strong>the</strong>r shares and eventually it ended to Mr. Jose Maria Basa. And yet, Your Honor,in this execution sale, she reported allegedly as <strong>the</strong> assistant corporate secretary, that it belongs to JoseMaria Basa. What we would like to point out on record, Your Honor, is that Cristina Corona isassuming inconsistent statements whenever it suits her favor, Your Honor.Mr. Roy. Your Honor, please, it was Mr. Basa who claimed to be <strong>the</strong> owner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shares, thatis why <strong>the</strong>y were levied on. If he did not claim <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong>y would not be levied on. Correct, shechallenged <strong>the</strong>m.The Presiding Officer. Yes, but, Compañero,—Mr. Roy. Yes, Your Honor.The Presiding Officer. —you are a lawyer. I do not have to teach you that assets <strong>of</strong> an estatebelong to <strong>the</strong> estate until <strong>the</strong>y are vested by order <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> court to <strong>the</strong> heirs.Mr. Roy. Yes, Your Honor.The Presiding Officer. And <strong>the</strong> claim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heir will not matter.Mr. Roy. Your Honor, Mr. Basa did not claim <strong>the</strong>m as inheritance. But he claimed ownershipby acquisition, not inheritance, Your Honor.
TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012 57The Presiding Officer. Well …Mr. Roy. That was <strong>the</strong> dispute.The Presiding Officer.All right. Then it was a disputed claim, okay.Mr. Roy. That is right, Your Honor.The Presiding Officer.So that would have been settled in <strong>the</strong> estate.Anyway, proceed. The Court will take all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se things into consideration.Senator Drilon. Ginoong testigo, uulitin ko. Magkano exactly ang binayad po dito sa4,839 shares? Sarado bang beinte otso mil?Mr. Bisnar. Twenty-eight thousand po, pesos.Senator Drilon. Okay. Ordinarily, hindi po ba sa auction sale, iyong proceeds ng auctionay ibinabayad sa sheriff?Mr. Bisnar. Ordinary po, oho.Senator Drilon. Ordinarily ganoon po ang nangyayari, hindi ba? Hindi ganoon, ganoon iyon.Mr. Bisnar. Ganoon po pero sa case po nito kasi—Senator Drilon. Teka, teka muna. Okay. Pagkatapos na magbayad, na makukuha mo iyongproceeds ng sale, ito po ay dini-deliver mo doon sa whoever is entitled to it. Hindi po ba tama iyon?Mr. Bisnar. Opo.Senator Drilon. Ngayon, hindi ba may sheriff’s fee iyan?Mr. Bisnar. Supposedly meron po. Opo.Senator Drilon. Okay, supposedly mayroon. Magkano ang sheriff’s fee ordinarily in terms <strong>of</strong>percentage?Mr. Bisnar. Hindi ko kabisado iyong sheriff’s fee.Senator Drilon. Ikaw naman, sheriff ka hindi mo kabisado kung magkano ang sheriff’s fee?Ikaw naman.Mr. Bisnar. Honestly po, totoo po iyon, Your Honor.Senator Drilon. Labingpitong taon ka nang sheriff hindi mo alam kung magkano angsheriff’s fee?Mr. Bisnar. Hindi naman po. Sa praktis po namin doon, hindi naman—Senator Drilon. Hindi ko sinasabi iyong hindi legal, iyong legal.Mr. Bisnar. Oo nga po.Senator Drilon. Huh? Hindi mo alam?Mr. Bisnar. Ang kuwan po noon four percent po sa—
