Atty. Benjie Santos: To put in proper perspective statement of Atty. Raul Lambino that PGMA has strong evidence to destroy and debunk the lies that Unas peddled in his testimony, it is not necessary at this point to present this evidence. The prosecution has miserably failed to prove during the bail hearing that its evidence of the alleged guilt of PGMA as to the charge of electoral sabotage is strong. Such inadequacy of its evidence is fatal to its opposition to the grant of bail to PGMA. It has fallen awfully short of its duty to show the required legal basis for the denial of her constitutional right to bail in this case. In view of such inability of the prosecution to discharge its bounden obligation, the PGMA defense panel has submitted its petition for bail for resolution, with the parties now required just to submit their respective memoranda.
