“Let me stress — and it’s in the minutes — Congresswoman Stella asked, ‘are you involved in trading’, and they said categorically ‘no’. And when the name of a company was involved, was mentioned, which was involved in trading, inamin niya na bahagi ako ng kumpanyang ‘yon. So pagsisinungaling po ‘yon sa kumiteng ito,” he added.
During the discussions, the lawyer of the Super Five officials asked the committee to reconsider the move to cite in contempt the two, noting that they have been present and that they would comply with the committee’s wishes. “Your appearance does not mean that you cannot be cited for contempt, as you will remember, before you were asked questions, you take an oath, and in that oath you were asked — even your clients — ‘do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth,’ and you swear ‘yes,’” Barzaga said.
