MAKALIPAS ang ilang araw. Maaga kong gumising para mag-prepare sa trial nagsuot ako ng white long sleeve it was made by someone special, I partnered it with coat and slacks. Sinuot ko rin 'yung crescent moon necklace ko tsaka iyon bahagyang itinago.

The bail hearing turned out great, we're able to bail her out and let her stay in the hospital. Those officers that are gaurding her was sent back to their post. Kanluran is the one who are monitoring and taking care of Lav as of the moment.

"ALL rise. Department three of the Superior Court is now in session. Judge Clev Ramiscal presiding."

"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Calling the Case of the People of the Philippines vs. Lavinia Manzana. Case number 18 00432 1." He stopped for seconds. "You may all sit down." He added.

"Are both sides ready?" The Judge first remark.

"Yes, Your Honor."

The trial started.

The second Witness from the Prosecution sat on the Witness stand. The Prosecutor walk towards him to asked some question.

Isa na naman itong preso sa loob ng kulungan.

"Witness, can you describe what the killer looks like?" Tanong ni Prosecutor Jaz.

"Ano ho? Taho?"

"I'll ask one more time. Can you describe us what the killer's looks like?" Pag-uulit ng Taga-usig.

"Objection." Saad ko tsaka tumayo. "I don't think, the Witness can testify using the language he's not familiar with." Then, I sat down.

"Prosecutor?" Tanong ng Judge.

"I'll speak in Filipino for better communication, Your Honor."

"Proceed." The Judge added.

Huminga muna si Prosecutor Jaz bago humarap sa Witness.

"Witness, maari mo bang ilarawan sa'min ang nakita mong killer?" Tanong niya.

"Mag tatagalog ka rin naman pala binibini, pinahirapan mo pa ko." Saad ng Witness.

His name is leonel a high profile inmate.

"Uulitin ko ang tanong ko. Maari mo bang ilarawan sa'min ang nakita mong killer?" Tanong niya.

"Opo naman. Maganda seksi! Botel ng coke, yumm." Saad ng Witness. "Nanlilisik ang mata at may dalawang panyo, ang ganda niya, uhmm."

"Eto ba ang panyong iyon?" Tanong ng Prosecutor.

"Oho."

"Maari mo pa bang sabihin sa'min ang mga nakita mo?" Tanong ng Prosecutor.

"Nakabalot ang mukha niya tanging ang mga mata lang ang makikita pero, binibini magkasing seksi kayo. Ang akala ko nga ikaw 'yun. Sayang hindi ko siya naabutan baka pwedeng maka--"

Napahalakhak naman ako. "I'm sorry, your Honor."
