MANILA, Philippines — Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon has urged Vice President Sara Duterte’s lead counsel for the impeachment trial to refrain from gaslighting the nation as the transcripts of Wednesday’s proceedings show that Atty. Kristine Ferrer really said that misleading questions were allowed.
Ridon in a press briefing after Wednesday’s trial said that it is not only the prosecution team that heard Ferrer, a member of the defense panel, contradict counsel for prosecution Lorna Kapunan’s insistence that misleading questions are not allowed during cross-examination.
Ridon said this after lead counsel for respondent Sheila Sison made a manifestation at the end of the trial, calling out private prosecutor Amando Virgil Ligutan for making social media posts that supposedly addresses Ferrer’s blunder.
“The transcript is very clear, we who were inside the plenary during trial were not the only ones who watched it, everyone else here and the public itself was able to see it. And the transcript is very clear,” Ridon told reporters.
