Summary
Highlights
Atty. Narvasa begins the cross-examination of Mr. Khalilong, who previously testified about his training in photo and video authentication. Narvasa confirms that Mr. Khalilong was trained for two weeks specifically in photo and video authentication, and that this training was received from Maxcore Interventures.
Atty. Narvasa attempts to limit the witness's answers to 'yes' or 'no.' The prosecution objects, arguing that there are no rules to constrain a witness to such answers and that witnesses should be allowed to qualify their responses. The presiding officer overrules the objection, stating the witness is seasoned and can explain if needed, and allows Narvasa to proceed.
Narvasa presents the articles of partnership for Maxcore Interventures, the company that provided the witness's training. He directs the witness to page two, highlighting the company's primary purpose as 'trading both import and export of goods on wholesale retail basis' and secondary purposes related to property and publishing software packages and books.
Atty. Narvasa then presents a screenshot of Maxcore Interventures' website, specifically the 'About Us' section. He reads the company's description, which emphasizes being a 'one-stop source of different products and services' with a focus on 'quality merchandise' and 'information technology,' but does not explicitly mention specialized photo and video authentication training.
