An admission against interest, particularly one that is notarized, carries greater admissibility and probative weight than official public documents, including in the case of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson made the observation during the Vice President’s impeachment trial as he questioned GenCorp Industries Inc. counsel Suzette Punay on which carries greater admissibility and probative weight: a notarized admission against interest or official public documents such as records filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
