Transcript of Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri's statement
at the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources hearing
on seized black corals and turtles

Sen.Migz: ...It saddens me that the consignee of the container van ay wala po dito, iyung pangalan na binanggit ko sa aking speech, si Exequiel Navarro nagpadala po siya ng isang text message na hindi raw siya makakarating dahil nagkasakit po ang isang kapatid niya. Pero gusto ko pong malaman niya na ito po ay isang napakaimportanteng imbestigasyon. We will not take this lightly. I would like to request Exequiel Navarro if he is listening in or he is watching us to please try to come before the hearing ends at 11am (today) or else we will cite him for contempt and have him arrested, we will have him arrested and brought to the Senate for our second hearing on Monday morning.

He confirmed (attendance) last night that is why we were very excited to hear his testimony because we would want to press him on, on his admission that he is only a dummy sabi niya sa balita kahapon dummy lang siya at hindi siya ang may ari ng shipment na ito. Gusto po sana namin malaman kung sino talaga ang mastermind, financier nitong shipment na ito. Pero unfortunately, wala po siya dito ngayong umaga and we will give him until noon time to appear if not he will be cited for contempt and arrested.
