"The motion for reconsideration filed by Justice Secretary Hernando Perez is still pending at the Supreme Court. I believe the Supreme Court will grant the prosecution’s request," Solicitor General Simeon Marcelo said in a statement.


He said a live coverage is necessary to enable Filipinos to see for themselves what’s really going on in the courtroom.

Solicitor General Simeon Marcelo said yesterday Clarissa Ocampo, an executive of Equitable PCI Bank, will be the next witness in Estrada’s plunder trial at the Sandiganbayan special division.
