Q1. Atty. Alma Malionga, magandang gabi po sa inyo.

A2. Masaya rin kami.

Q1. Congratulations Atty. Alma Malionga for winning in the Supreme Court?

Q2. Atty. Christopher Capol, Atty. Juan Arcella, Atty. Joke Velasquez, Atty. Patek Amador, and a lot of other support ng buong opisina.

... Actually from the very beginning. Alvin Dorries, hindi naman nagumpisa ito itong taon na ito. Remember we were involved since 2014. Patek Alcantara pala, hindi pala ako doon.

... He's a new lawyer with us but we've been working very, very hard. Actually, hindi pa namin officially nare-receive itong decision na ito. In fact, in enjoy ko ngayon pinabasa.

... It's 41 pages. Basically, the Supreme Court actually agreed with all the grounds that we said to say that the Court of Appeals was gravely mistaken. Yan ang nakalagay dito sa decision. The Court of Appeals gravely erred. Nagkamali siya ng seryoso.

So basically, nireiterate ng Supreme Court yung prinsipyo na preliminary investigation, hindi naman basta-basta lang. Importante siyang proseso, hindi siya casual affair. In other words, hindi lahat ng mga sinasampang kaso just because sinasampa, itutuloy ka sa korte.

Hindi ba kailangan masugid na pinag-aaralan. Ang prinsipyo kasi, ang Department of Justice kung ano ang decision niya, dapat binibigyan ng halagaan. Kung sobrang pagtakamali ang ginawa ng Department of Justice, doon lang siya pwede isantabi.

Sa complaint ni Ms. Cornejo, masyadong sobrang, ang tawag niya too glaring and manifest to be mute. So yan ang basihan ng Supreme Court for agreeing na dapat yung kaso hindi dapat nasampa in the first place at pinapadismiss niya yung information against Mr. Bong Navarro, both for rape and acts of lasciviousness.

Q. Anong impact sa kanya? Parang he's a free man. Wala na, totally wala na lahat ng kaso niya?

... Kung saan na-convict si Cedric Lee at Denise Corneo, that's ongoing, patapos na yung serious illegal detention. Doon sa dalawang kaso na yan, magkasama kami ng Department of Justice.

... And we will do what is necessary to manifest. Iri-report namin ito nangyari sa SC at hinihinin namin na gawin yung tama sa kaming palagay. Parang ang pinaka-importante dito, it's as if the SC is saying dapat hindi nasampahan ng kaso in the first place. Yan yan eh.

... Dapat siguro ang mga kasong nandyan na ngayon ay hiwag ituloy at kailangan ma-dismiss ang mga kaso. How we get there, may tamang proseso siguro pagpapunta doon, at the end of the day, yun ang dapat nangyari.

... Kasi you know what? Ang sabi ng SC mismo, sabi niya, buhil na pag-alaman namin, sabi niya ang DOJ committed no grave abuse of discretion sa pag-dismiss ng kaso against Mr. Navarro, sabi niya the court in the interest of justice and fair play is constrained to dismiss the information against Mr. Navarro."

Q. So you're going to file a case to have it dismissed? Yan ang proseso? Kailangan pumunta ka pa sa lower court?

... So the solution doon is mawala ang mga kaso against Mr. Navarro. So yan ang aming sabahuin. There's going to be a process there. There will be filing and we are hoping that the Department of Justice will work hand in hand with us to implement the clear decision of the SC in this respect. So yan lang. On the part of...

Q. Anong tanong mo? You're on your go?

... Pag na-dismiss na po ang lahat ng ibang kaso labang kay Bong, meron po ba siyang option na siya ang magdemanda dahil puso nangyari yan?

... Alam mo hindi namin pinag-iisipan at the moment. You know what, this has been a long journey. Alam mo yung nangyari kay Bong last year na lahat, hindi ko alam kung ano nangyari, hindi niya alam kung ano nangyari.

... We've been through this very painful journey for how many months? Alam mo nung hinuli siya at nakalung siya, sabi ko natuto kami ni Bong pati siya. Natuto akong mag-losario talaga araw-araw hanggang ngayon natinutuloy ko naman.

... Kasi something hindi mo ma-explain kung bakit nangyari pero nangyari. But I just like to say na nag-usap kami ni Bong just earlier, hindi namin pinag-uusapan yung technical kung ano yung proseso.

... Hindi namin binabalikan yung nangyari na noon. We're looking forward lang kasi lubos na masaya si Mr. Navarro as we are. We just want to finish this journey right matapos mawala lahat ng mga taso. Hanggang doon lang muna kami. Nilalasak muna namin itong pangyayaring ito.

... We were really hoping and praying that the Supreme Court would give us relief. It happened when it happened. Hindi naman natin na-control yan. Hindi namin alam kung paano, kailan pero nangyari. Ang gusto ko sabihin maraming salamat."

... Ang punyente is Justice Inting and na-conquer lahat ng members of the division including chairperson nila si Justice Cagiwa, Justice Cayarlan, Justice Dima Ampao at si Justice Tingi."

Q1. Apillable pa yan? Kasi hindi pa unbank. The other party can actually appeal it in the Supreme Court unbank? Ganoon ba yan?

... I've read. This is 41 pages. It's well thought out. The principles that the Supreme Court invoked are very elementary, very basic, very easy to understand. Pag sinabi ng Supreme Court in the interest of justice and fair play, maintindihan mo kung bakit based on paggawa ng decision.

... Ang mga inconsistencies at pagkakamali that are too glaring to be missed according to the Supreme Court. As far as we're concerned, we are relishing this development. We will continue to fight, we will continue to pray.

... But most of all we will be giving thanks to the Lord Almighty and of course even the Supreme Court itself. Thank you."
