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 (Melanio Mallari Y Liberato vs. People [2004]).
