Sen. Raffy Tulfo on Tuesday called out Davao City Accountant Vingelin Bajan for allegedly evading questions from the prosecution during Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial, saying the Senate impeachment court may consider citing her for contempt.

Tulfo, one of the senator-judges, compared Bajan’s testimony with that of Davao City Assessor Jaime Adalin, who appeared before the Senate impeachment court on Monday.

“Kahapon, yung witness, isang witness, tatawa-tawa. Ngayon, ito very evasive, nagmaang-maangan,” Tulfo said.

“Patikman kaya natin ma-contempt mga ito, nang sa gayon magkaroon ng respeto sa impeachment court,” the senator-judge added.

He accused the witnesses of showing a lack of respect for the proceedings by laughing or evading questions, adding that the Senate court should consider imposing sanctions as an example.

Tulfo particularly took issue with Bajan’s inability to confirm whether a signature on documents presented by the prosecution was hers.

“Natatakot ako para sa’yo. Kasi, napakasimple namang katanungan. And you're very, very evasive, at hindi mo masagot-sagot,” Tulfo told the witness.

“Yung katanungan lang kung signature mo ‘yun— oo o hindi; hindi mo masagot-sagot,” he added.

Tulfo warned that the proceedings could drag on until early Wednesday if Bajan continued to avoid answering the questions, saying the senator-judges could lose patience and have her cited for contempt.

Bajan, the third defense witness in Duterte’s impeachment trial, had earlier drawn scrutiny for saying she was unfamiliar with an accounting firm document bearing her name and could not recall her own signature.
