“Assuming that such alleged ‘evidence’ exists, respondent moves that the honorable office direct complainants to produce such alleged evidence and allow respondent to make copies or copy the same. This would allow respondent to adequately and intelligently respond to the baseless and wild accusations against her in the present case,” Manuel’s motion stated.
Robredo’s spokesperon, lawyer Barry Gutierrez, also told reporters: “What is the real story that that they are using as basis for this complaint? Where is the evidence they are boasting that they have? We have to see them. They should play fair.” Also on Thursday, one of the respondents, Novaliches Bishop Emeritus Teodoro Bacani Jr., filed his counteraffidavit at the DOJ, accompanied by his lawyer Christian Monsod and brother Pastor. They declined to be interviewed, saying the the bishops will soon hold a press conference on the matter.Among those charged in the same case are opposition Senators Leila de Lima and Risa Hontiveros, former Senators Antonio Trillanes IV and Bam Aquino, Magdalo Rep.
