Lead prosecutor denies owning PSBank account

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

MANILA -- Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr. denied Tuesday having maintained an account at the Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) Katipunan branch.

"For the record wala akong bank account sa PSBank (For the record, I have no account at PSBank)," Tupas said in an ambush interview.

During the cross examination of the defense on branch manager Annabelle Tiongson, Corona's lawyer Serafin Cuevas asked if Tupas is "one of the more important clients" of the bank.

Tiongson said she can neither confirm nor deny citing the Bank Secrecy Law. (Sunnex)
