00:00Before we begin with the actual press conference, we would just like to announce that a letter
00:09was submitted to the Senate, first and foremost, before we get to the motion, which will be
00:13explained by Minority Leader Libanan, that we have submitted a letter, the prosecutor
00:19signed by the other ten prosecutors, including myself, that we have appointed, constituted,
00:25and empowered the most senior member of the public prosecutors, the Honorable Marcelino
00:31C. Libanan, to perform the following acts on behalf of all public prosecutors in the
00:35VP Duterte impeachment case.
00:37A, to execute the verification in relation to any petition, motion, pleading that must
00:43be filed on our behalf.
00:44B, to sign and file any motion, pleading, or submission on behalf of the prosecution.
00:50And C, to execute all other documents and perform all other acts necessary to give effect
00:54to the foregoing authority.
00:56Thus in summary, we have instituted the Honorable Libanan to be empowered to sign any of these
01:02documents in relation to impeachment.
01:04So although it is not yet formal, in effect, this is what we call a lead prosecutor.
