NARVASA’S DESPERATE OBJECTION TO EXCLUDE CALILUNG AS WITNESS

1. DEFENSE: Atty. Narvasa tried to block the prosecution's cybercrime witness, NBI Senior Agent John Mark Calilung, using a flimsy technicality.

He whined that because the witness was not named in the initial Saballa and Cabrera House complaints, the defense was blindsided.

It was a panicked and terrified attempt to hide the forensic evidence from the public view.

2. PROSECUTION: Atty. Ligutan didn't just counter the objection; he took Narvasa straight back to law school on the spot.

He declared that the original complaint already "lived its natural life."

Ligutan firmly reminded the defense that this independent trial is strictly governed by the Articles of Impeachment and the Pre-Trial Brief, which clearly listed the witness.

3. DECISION OF THE IMPEACHMENT COURT: Presiding Judge Chiz Escudero completely completely vaporized the defense’s stall tactic.

Citing Enrile v. Sandiganbayan, the court ruled the Articles only require a summary of charges, not an unalterable master list of every single witness.

Escudero flatly stated the court will never shackle the prosecution from introducing solid facts.

The motion was denied, leaving the panicked defense team with absolutely nothing at all but an empty, deeply embarrassing continuing objection. 😀

🚨LOOKING BACK AT WHY ATTY. VIRGIL LIGUTAN JOINED THE PROSECUTION TEAM FOR THIS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL:

: “What really motivated me to join the private prosecution team is the story of a school principal who was ordered imprisoned for 11 years for pocketing ₱5,000.”

: “If we can send someone to jail for 11 years over ₱5,000, why can’t we remove from office a sitting vice president for allegedly misusing millions of pesos in public funds?”

Medyo SABAW ata ang defense lawyer ni Pyona: Hirap na Hirap!

Atty. Amando Virgil D. Ligutan: "I will not even respond to that..."

In fairness, fair at alert si Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero. Ang objection ng defense lawyer, dapat daw ipakita ang buong two-hour video ng pagbabanta ni VP Pyonatic Sara Duterte.

Ang gustong ipakita lang ng prosecution ay at least two minutes of the two-hour video. Pero halatang sabaw ang defense lawyer.

[🇵🇭 Laitera🇵🇭 @laiteranidaddy]

Ang ganda ng opening statement ni Con Defensor to present the 4th Articles of Impeachment. Tapos irrelevant daw sabi ng Abogado ni Sara eh tatawagin pa nga lang yung witness🤣🤣🤣 at ilalabas pa nga lang yung ebidensya engot lang yan

Jusko, napaka-impressive naman pala ng credentials nitong si Atty Ligutan. Ang ganda pa ng boses. At BISAYANG DAKO! The way he inserts those Cebuano lines like “magpadayon ta” (something to that effect), is a good PR move to get the attention, and hopefully the admiration, of DDS na mga bisaya. Good job Atty!

[Thea Tan @imtheatan]

Prosecution’s Atty. Ligutan absolutely schooled Atty Narvasa of the defense today.

Watching Narvasa stutter, grope for words, and get repeatedly shut down by Presiding Judge Chiz Escudero with a brutal “Do not waste the court's time" is pure embarrassment.

When the prosecution is prepared and armed with evidence, a shallow defense completely crumbles.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

⚠️ At the end of the day, Atty. Virgil Ligutan schooled and outclassed Atty. CJ Narvasa.

The DDS are laughing at Ligutan who said photocopies are considered originals when the Supreme Court said it in a recent May 2025 ruling.

Aral-aral pag may time.

DDS, class dismissed!

Ako na magsasabi, sa mata ng ordinaryong Pilipino, PANALO ang pagiging kalmado at composed ni Atty. Virgil Ligutan, as against sa pagiging agresibo at "tarantahin" ni Atty. CJ Narvasa.

Sa bibig ng pangkarinawang tao— "bakit masyadong defensive? Guilty yarn?"

[ad @diapolym]

SP Gatchalian not allowing alan to grandstand and waste everybody’s time is soooooooooo satisfying.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

🚨 Atty. Virgil Ligutan: “It is for the Prosecution to decide what to present, when to present, and whether to decide at all. Defense counsel misreads Rule 132.”

Nilalamon ng buhay ang Defense represented by Atty. CJ Narvasa.

Grabe ang Prosecution! 👏

Atty. Virgil Ligutan of the prosecution team is a superstar! Brilliant, assertive, articulate, and composed.
