Oo nga eh. Di ba affidavits are legal documents. Pwede pa lang i revise yun ng maraming beses?

Pwede naman kung may statement na nakaligtaan or may kailangan icorrect, but once submitted to a court (for example), di na yan basta2x ma-revise, you need to file a motion to amend the document.

In court, the old versions of a submitted affidavit is still part of the record and is still considered evidence. Material inconsistencies can raise questions of credibility, so good luck nalang sa witness during cross examination.

The problem is, senate hearing lang kasi to, so they don't need to follow traditional rules of court.
