00:29The Senate is now constituted and convened as an impeachment court and the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte is hereby declared open and called to order.
00:43Bago magalas na isimedia ngayong gabi, nag-convene ang Senado bilang impeachment court sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:49Ang mga senador isinuot ang kanilang pulang rub maliban kina Sen. Amy Marcos, Robin Padilla at Cincia Villar.
00:56I make this oath ad cautelum without prejudice to the resolution of jurisdictional issues as well as issues pertaining to the validity of the impeachment complaint or to the filing thereof.
01:09Ako po ay manunumpa pero meron pong reservasyon.
01:13Kasunod niyan, nanumpa na ang 22 senador bilang impeachment court judges.
01:18I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws of the Philippines. So help me God.
01:29Bago ang oath-taking, iginit pa ni Sen. Bato de la Rosa na mag-privilege speech po na siya para ipabasura ang impeachment complaint.
01:38Ngunit tumutol ang ilang senador dahil alas 4 ng hapon ang napagkasundo ang schedule ng oath-taking.
01:44Naantala rin ito ng ilang oras dahil nagdiskusyon pa ang mga senador.
01:47We will be honoring that what was agreed upon yesterday but this is a personal collective privilege.
01:54It's a privileged speech. This is not a privileged motion.
01:58So my motion is to execute and implement what was agreed upon yesterday.
02:04At 4 o'clock in the afternoon we take our oath.
02:06It was very clear yesterday that we agreed that before I take my oath as member of the impeachment court
02:17I should have delivered my privileged speech.
02:20That's why I made it a precondition to my approval or to my agreement to the motions yesterday
02:32provided let me first deliver my privileged speech.
02:37And very clear, it was agreed by the minority leader yesterday.
02:40No, no, no, no. Mr. President, no, no, no.
02:42It was stressed the convening of the court. That was the issue.
02:47And the agreement natin, the oath-taking is not the convening of the court.
02:51Ayon kay De La Rosa, constitutionally impaired ang ipinasa sa kanilang impeachment complaint
02:55dahil lumabag ang kamera sa sarili nilang internal rules.
02:58Napo na rin niya ang anyang last minute na pagpapasa ng kamera ng impeachment complaint sa Senado.
03:04I respectfully move that in view of its constitutional infirmities
03:11and questions on the jurisdiction and authority of the 20th Congress,
03:18the verified impeachment complaint against Vice President Sarah Zimmerman Duterte be dismissed.
03:26Sinang ayunan ni Sen. Bongo ang mosyon ni De La Rosa.
03:30Pero sabi ni Sen. Arisa Antiveros, dapat mag-oalt-taking muna ang mga Sen. Judges gaya ng napagkasunduan.
03:37Para sa wakas, bigyang daan yung inaprubahan nating motion kahapon na manumpana po kaming...
03:45I still have the floor.
03:46Point of order.
03:46I have the floor, Mr. President.
03:48Point of order.
03:48I have the floor, Mr. President.
03:51To make way for taking of the oath before the presiding officer, Mr. President.
03:57Iginit din ni Sen. Joel Villanueva na impeachment court ang magdedesisyon sa gusto ni Bato,
04:02bagay na sinangayunan ni Sen. President Chief Escudero.
04:05Lalo pang umilit ang tensyon ng muntik-suguri ni Padilla si Villanueva.
04:09Si Villanueva ang nagpanukala na agad mag-convene ng Senado bilang impeachment court
04:13para matalakay ang motion to dismiss ni De La Rosa.
04:16Tinutunan ito ni Padilla dahil ang napag-usapan daw ay bukas pa mag-convene ng Senado bilang impeachment court.
04:22Kasunod ng ruling ni Escudero na dapat pang i-convene ang Senado bilang impeachment court,
04:26nagkamay at nagyakapan naman si Napadilla at Villanueva.
04:30Ngayong gabi, sa halip na i-dismiss ang reklamo, ang isinulong ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
04:35I moved to amend the motion of Sen. De La Rosa to dismiss.
04:42And instead, I moved that we return the articles of impeachment to the House
04:48until such time that they certified to us that they did not violate the Constitution.
04:55Sa butuhan, lamang ang mga paboro sa motion ni Cayetano.
