Defense lawyer CJ Narvasa objects to the prosecution’s line of questioning towards its witness. Private prosecutor Amando Ligutan was asking in which part of the video Duterte said she reached out to an assassin to kill President Marcos.

Defense lawyer Narvasa requests that the entire video be played to show the context in which such utterances were made, but private prosecutor Amando Virgil Ligutan says: “It is for the prosecution to decide what, when, how to present…. When the time comes for the defense to present their evidence, they can present the remainder of the 2-hour video.”

Trial presiding officer Chiz Escudero says the defense can play the entire video during their time. The defense’s objection is overruled.
