The camp of former House Speaker Leyte 1st district Rep. Martin Romualdez has dubbed as "logically, physically impossible" the claims made by two witnesses during a Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on Monday, Jan. 19

Lawyer Ade Fajardo, counsel and spokesperson of Romualdez, says the witnesses' statements collapse under the sworn testimony and the absence of documentary proof.

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson presided over the hearing, which delved into the nitty gritty of the flood control projects corruption scandal.

Fajardo said contractor Pacifico “Curlee” Discaya--a key figure in the flood control projects mess--testified under oath that he had never entered South Forbes Park in Makati City. This undercut remarks by the two witnesses, dubbed as alias "Joy” and “Marie", that he approached anyone there or issued instructions related to the posh property.

“The allegations aired in the Senate are logically and physically impossible,” Fajardo said.

“Curlee Discaya testified under oath that he has never entered South Forbes Park, making it impossible for him to have approached anyone there or issued any instruction," he noted.

He added that the accusations trace back to the staff of an evicted tenant and were basically unsubstantiated.

“The claims come solely from the staff of an evicted tenant, unsupported by any document,” said Fajardo, who noted that Romualdez’s name “appears in no deed, contract, or payment record related to the property”.

Over the weekend, the controversial Discaya categorically denial that he acted as a “front” for the ex-Speaker in the alleged purchase of a high-end property.

According to the lawyer, the record simply leaves nothing to respond to.

“There is no evidence—only hearsay and possibly perjured statements—and therefore nothing to answer,” he said.

Fajardo stressed that allegations raised in public hearings must be tested against sworn testimony and verifiable records.
