00:00The prosecution panel respects the decision of the court in this issue of lowering down the threshold.
00:09But we believe that it is not an indication of the possible results of the vote that they will make
00:19when the four articles have already been presented by the prosecution.
00:24So, we do not want to preempt what their decision will be, but one important point in the context of
00:37our legalities
00:38is finally a decision to talk about who is qualified to vote.
00:46And this is the result of the vote that happened earlier.
00:52I think it will be premature to predict what will happen once the impeachment trial reaches its final conclusion
01:03by simply judging the way today's decision of the court prompted some of the members to not participate
01:12in the voting on the application of the two-thirds threshold.
01:17It will also be unfair on the part of the court to assign numbers na at this early, at this
01:23point in time.
01:24So, what is important is, una, yung mga hindi po nag-agree doon sa motion ni appeal,
01:32ano motion po ni Senator Erwin Tulfo, nakapaglatag po sila ng kanilang explanation sa kanilang boto.
01:39At bumoto naman po sila base po sa kanilang opinion at kung ano po yung nalalaman nila sa ating constitution.
01:46So, this is just a plain workings of a healthy and working democracy.
