Section
36 of Rule 130 of the Rules of Court provides that witnesses can testify only with regard to facts of which they have personal
knowledge; otherwise, their testimonies would be inadmissible for being hearsay
Since the witnesses merely attested to the voluntariness and due execution of
the respective extrajudicial confessions of the accused, insofar as the
substance of those confessions is concerned, the testimonies of the police
witnesses are mere hearsay.
