Actress Maricel Soriano appeared before the Senate after being involved in the PDEA document leaks.
It can be recalled that a PDEA agent confirmed the legitimacy of the pre-operation report against Soriano and President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
During her speech, Soriano said she was surprised to receive an invitation from the Senate because she was clueless about the issue.
“Hindi po ako sanay sa mga ganito [hearing]… Alam niyo first time ko lang talaga na makatanggap ng imbitasyon na pumunta sa senado… Nakakakaba, nakakatakot,” she said. “Sa totoo lang po hindi malinaw sakin kung bakit ako naimbitahan sa hearing,”
Despite her doubts, Soriano still attended the senate hearing as she respected the role of the body.
During the hearing, Soriano confirmed that her former address was indicated on the document.
“That adds credence to the claim of Morales, na siya talaga ang gumawa noon at tama ang ginawa niya dahil inamin naman ni Maricel. Si Maricel ang subject doon at si politician Bongbong Marcos. Dalawa sila subject doon. Tapos ang address, ‘yung unit is the same unit, at inaamin ni Maricel na sa kanya ang unit na ‘yun. That gives credence to the pre-ops na ginawa ni Morales,” said Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa who chaired the hearing.
However, she said she sold the said condominium unit in 2012.
Meanwhile, President Marcos only laughed at the said accusations.
