00:00I want to graduate now, I want to make my mandato, which is that unfortunately or unfortunately,

00:12the 19th conference is the impeachment of it.

00:16So, we need to be able to do it.

00:24So, let's do it.

00:26We need to put it, to explain it, it's more like, apat nga yung na-file doon, pero ang pinagbotohan nila ay isa lang.

00:54Therefore, yung impeachment complaint na pinagbotohan na yun, yung lamang ang nireverse sa atin.

01:00Yung iba, parang wala yun kasi hindi naman yung naging official eh.

01:06Hindi yun yung official complaint because it did not receive one-third of the House support.

01:11So, mayroon ka naisa sabi, katunad na nito eh, and even our presiding officer, I believe, is also of this thinking that the impeachment court of the Senate, just like the Senate Electoral Tribunal, can actually cross over to the next Congress.

01:29So, in this case, it can cross over to them, and it is actually their prerogative, the 20th Congress, to vote on this and to say that, oh no, we don't agree with it, there's no basis for it.

01:45The status of the hearing is that the movement has expressed its intention to possibly amend this original motion that we are acting on at the moment via a debate.

02:00So, may be audible, Senator Judge Peitano.

02:05State the amendment to the motion and what the motion will now be.

02:10Thank you, Mr. President or presiding officer.

02:14Sigurong Mr. President, bago ko ay restate.

02:17Kasi yung confusion whether remanding is dismissing.

02:21Kasi ang sinabi ko po kanila, tatlo ang action na pwede natin gawin.

02:25Ituloy as is, i-remand o kaya i-dismiss.

02:31Dismissal is talked amount to an acquittal for this year.

02:37So, that means next year ka na pwede mag-file.

02:42Pero pwede kasi once a year pwede kang mag-file.

02:45And to clarify, I will not debate with Senator Grace po,

02:49but may understanding kasi ma'am to a kapwa senator judge.

02:54At tama yung binasa mong case if yung natulang mga penile ay hilir nila.

03:00Tapos anong pinadala nila dito?

03:03In this case kasi ang allegation, yung tatlong penile is nisang tapi nila eh.

03:08Hindi nila prenosis, hindi pinadala sa Speaker's Office,

03:11hindi pinadala sa Rules Committee or Justice Committee.

03:14Hindi ni-report out as the Constitution says.

03:17And there is a legal maxim kasi that what you cannot do directly,

03:21you cannot do indirectly.

03:47I haven't managed to Betze иск call or damage against them.

03:49bumps into a few of these differnions,

03:50but eventually, you cannotack uh run because make sure you are not going to have honor in these specific groups.

03:51And yes, that means a lot the latitude is in this position.

03:53You cannot do in here in this position.

03:56If the delicate texture is to be developed,

03:57it is still with the infinite liver.

03:59You cannot monsieur expect.

04:02You cannot do out of this position.

04:08Yourcience appears as if you are in this location,

04:10to be able to be ourselves here.

04:12It is important that the number ofaloers are currently taking place.
