CIRSE FRANCISCO "CHOY" TORRALBA, petitioner, vs. PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,
respondent.
It is generally held that sound recording is not inadmissible because of its form where a proper
foundation has been laid to guarantee the genuineness of the recording. In our jurisdiction, it is a
rudimentary rule of evidence that before a tape recording is admissible in evidence and given
probative value, the following requisites must first be established, to wit:
(1)
a showing that the recording device was capable of taking testimony;
(2)
a showing that the operator of the device was competent;
(3)
establishment of the authenticity and correctness of the recording;
(4)
a showing that changes, additions, or deletions have not been made;
(5)
a showing of the manner of the preservation of the recording;
(6)
identification of the speakers; and
(7)
a showing that the testimony elicited was voluntarily made without any kind of
inducement.
