“I feel deprived of my right for legal counsel as stipulated in the Constitution,” Hamidon told reporters after Friday’s hearing. After that, binigyan siya ng PAO, labas na kami dun [she was provided with PAO, we’re already out of the picture]. Kilala na niya PAO lawyer niya [she should be the one to contact her lawyer. She already knows her PAO lawyer],” he added. In a separate interview, Ong said he did not let Hamidon write her affidavit on the spot because she might get the details wrong.
