00:00Day 23 ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:04Ngayong kulang ang mga Senator Judge sa paglilitis
00:06nakataktang pagbotohan sa September 23
00:09kung ilan ba dapat ang botong kailangan nila
00:12para makonvict ang vice.
00:14Habang gumugulong ang paglilitis,
00:16sinabi naman ng prosekusyon
00:17na gusto nilang ipatawag bilang witness
00:19ang vicepresidente.
00:21May report si Joseph Moro.
00:25May kitapat na libon dokumento
00:27at labing dalawang testigo
00:28ang nahihirap ng prosekusyon
00:30para sa akusasyon nilang mali
00:31ang paggamit ni Vice President Sara Duterte
00:34ng confidential funds.
00:36Anilang sapat na yan
00:37kaya ihintunan nilang pagtalakay sa Article 1
00:40at pagpapaharap sa tatlo pa nilang testigo.
00:43Kung baga raw sa chess,
00:44isa lamang ang pinatutunguhan ng mga ebidensya.
00:47All of these pawns and castles and horses and bishops
00:52point to only one person
00:54and that accountable person is the Vice President.
00:57Kaya ang endgame para sa prosekusyon,
01:00kapag napasadahan na ang lahat ng articles of impeachment,
01:03nais nilang silipisara na ang tumistigo.
01:06The testimony of the Vice President
01:08will be material to all four articles.
01:12That is why
01:14at the end of all of these articles,
01:17we reserve the right to present
01:20the Vice President herself.
01:23Pumalagang depensa,
01:25anila hindi maaring piriting dumistigo
01:27na sasakdal laban sa sarili.
01:29There is an innate problem
01:32in that kind of request.
01:35The Constitution prohibits
01:37this kind of testimonial compulsion
01:39from the accused herself.
01:42This right is absolute.
01:44And this is not only a simple right
01:46or a statutory right,
01:48this is a fundamental right.
01:50At ito siguro yung isa sa pinaka
01:52mahalagang batayan
01:55para manindigan kami
01:56sa anumang pagtatangka
01:59na pilitin ng Vice President
02:01ang respondent
02:02na magbigay ng testimonya
02:03laban sa kanyang kalooban.
02:06Bago naman matapos
02:08ang impeachment trial kanina
02:09naungkat ang isyo
02:10ng voting threshold
02:11o kinakailangang bilang
02:13para makonvict ang vice.
02:15Sa saligang batas kasi
02:16two-thirds
02:17ng mga senador
02:18ang nakasaad.
02:19Kaya sa umpisa
02:20ng paglilitis
02:20itinakdanan
02:21ni Presiding Officer
02:22Chisa Scudero
02:23na labing-anim na voto
02:25mula sa 24 na senador
02:27ang kailangan
02:28para sa conviction.
02:29Pero wala sa paglilitis
02:31si na Senador
02:31Jingoy Estrada
02:32at Rodante Marcoleta
02:33dahil nakakulong.
02:35Si Bato de la Rosa
02:36na nagtatago
02:36at si Lauren Ligarda
02:38na nakamedical leave.
02:50Sabi naman ni
02:51Sen. Judge Pia Cayetano
02:52kung Korto Suprema
02:53ang may kapangyarihan
02:54mag-interpret
02:55nang nasa sa ad
02:56sa konstitusyon.
02:57Your ruling,
02:58Mr. Presiding Officer,
03:02was made.
03:03And your ruling was
03:05if there's anyone
03:06who questions it,
03:07then the recourse
03:08is to go to the
03:09Supreme Court.
03:10Si Sen. Judge Robin Padilla
03:13ay giniit
03:13na dapat sundin
03:14ang konstitusyon.
03:15Ako po ay hindi
03:17nagmamagaling dito.
03:18Ako po'y ex-convict.
03:22Isa lang po
03:23ang gusto kong
03:24malaman po
03:24ninyong lahat.
03:25Hindi po ganyang
03:26kataas
03:27ang pinag-aralan ko.
03:29Pero ipaglalabang ko
03:31ang konstitusyon
03:31na ito
03:32hanggang sa dulo
03:33ng aking buhay.
