00:00Cristiano Serrano is a pharmaceutical company that recruits doctors to prescribe their medicines in exchange for commissions and incentives.
00:09According to Senator J.B. Ernesto, the operation of Belkenz Pharma Inc. has a multilevel marketing scheme with doctors as investors.

00:24Doctors are also allowed to drive luxury cars, according to Senator Jingo Estrada.
00:29Belkenz also agreed that they do not violate any law.
00:33The check that was shown in the hearing is not a commission, but a discount that was given to the doctor.
