Objection – when the evidence is offered; NOTE: Objections may be waived

because the right to object is merely a privilege which the party may waive
(People v. Martin, G.R. No. 172069, January 30, 2008). However, such
waiver only extends to the admissibility of the evidence. It does not
involve an admission that the evidence possesses the weight attributed
to it by the offering party (Riano, 2016). 2. Motion to strike out or
expunge: a. When the witness answers prematurely before there is
reasonable opportunity for the adverse party to object, and such objection
is found to be meritorious; b. When the answers are incompetent,
irrelevant, or improper (Sec. 39, Rule 132); c. When the witness becomes
unavailable for cross-examination through no fault of the crossexamining
party; d. When the answer is unresponsive; e. When the testimony was
allowed conditionally and the condition for its admissibility was not
fulfilled (Riano, 2016); f. When a witness has volunteered statements in
such a way that the party has not been able to object thereto; g. When
a witness testifies without a question being addressed to him; h. When
a witness testifies beyond the ruling of the court prescribing the limits
within which he may answer (Herrera, 1999); or i. Uncompleted testimonies
where there is no opportunity for the other party to crossexamination
(Ibid.).
