00:17The House Prosecution Panel's actions are continuously agitating
00:23here in the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:27At the same time, they are ready to respond to the Supreme Court's order.
00:34The Camera assured the Supreme Court's urgent response to comment on the petition submitted by Vice President Sara Duterte
00:46questioning the impeachment of her congressmen.
00:51According to House Assistant Majority Leader Jill Bongalon,
00:54they are still waiting for a copy of the order, but they will surely respond to it.
00:59They are also confident that the SC will not be involved in the issue.
01:02House Secretary-General Reginald Velasco is still waiting for a copy of the SC order.
01:08The House Prosecution Panel's actions are continuously agitating
01:12so that they are ready to start the impeachment trial.
01:16The group has again insisted that there is no need for a special session to start the investigation.
01:22This is what San Juan City Representative Isabel Zamora and One Rider Partylist Representative Roch Gutierrez said.
01:28This is also what Manila 3rd District Representative Joel Chua said.
01:33There is no connection here in Malacanang.
01:35The impeachment is the work of the Senate and the work of the Congress.
01:42There is nothing in our law that says that this should be called a special session in Malacanang.
01:53This is a sui generis, which means that it is contrary to the law.
01:57That is why I believe that the Senate can continue with the impeachment proceedings.
02:07Angelique, just a while ago, we had the opportunity to have a new interview with Congressman Joel Chua,
02:14who is part of the House Prosecution Panel.
02:16He confirmed that the camera has already received a copy of the SC order.
02:22He continues to urge our countrymen to continue their preparations for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:33Yes, Amela.
02:34Did they say what kind of preparations they are doing now?
02:41Angelique, as of now, as far as what our lawmakers are discussing,
02:46the House Prosecution Panel will be their strategy and discard when the impeachment trial starts.
02:53They are not yet saying the complete details.
02:57But what they are saying is that every article of impeachment will have sufficient evidence
03:04and a lot of evidence that will be laid down in the trial.
03:08Angelique?
03:09Alright, thank you very much, Amela Lesmoras.
