Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said Ruby Tuason's testimony that she personally delivered kickbacks to Senator Jinggoy Estrada and Senator Juan Ponce Enrile's chief of staff, Atty. Gigi Reyes, will be hard to disprove since she was an eyewitness. She said Tuason fits all the requirements to become a state witness since her testimony can be corroborated, she is not the most guilty, and she has not been convicted of any crime. Santiago also said a mere denial from those implicated by Tuason's testimony is a weak defense. ANC, February 13, 2014
