00:00You know, ako lang kasi, forthwith nga eh, so without delay, at agad-agad, I don't understand

00:11why, hindi ko talaga maintindihan, bakit there's room for interpretation, maraming

00:17excuses na pwedeng gawin, maraming magaling, gaya nga na sinabi ni Kung Pao, pati yung

00:22kapit-bahay nila may opinion, but the end of the day, andali naman kasing intindihin

00:27when you say forthwith, agad-agad.

00:30And this is not really for or against anyone.

00:34The impeachment process, the Senate acting as an impeachment court, is a venue for both

00:43parties to be heard.

00:44I think it's the most democratic and fair process, kaya nga nasa saligang batas yun

00:50So there's no reason para harangin o siraan o gamitin pa sa politika.

00:55Let's follow our constitution at our sentidokumon na pagsinabing forthwith, agad-agad.
