00:00House Speaker Martin Romualdez sounds the alarm on the Senate's decision to remand the articles of impeachment as he closed the 19th Congress.
00:07The decision of the Senate sitting as an impeachment court to return the articles of impeachment is deeply concerning.
00:21These articles were transmitted by the chamber in accordance with the Constitution.
00:27In remanding, the impeachment court asked for two things.
00:31First, for the House to certify that it did not violate a constitutional rule when it proceeded with the Vice President's impeachment.
00:37Second, for the House of the 20th Congress to express willingness to push through with the trial.
00:42The lower chamber approved a resolution certifying that Duterte's impeachment did not violate the Constitution before adjourning Sine-Dia.
00:50Romualdez vowed to comply with the requirements, quote,
00:53not to abandon our cause but to ensure the process continues.
00:56The House of Representatives acted not out of haste but with deliberate care.
01:04We followed the law, we honored our mandate, and above all, we stood for what the Filipino people deserve.
01:14A government that answers to its citizens.
01:18House prosecutors earlier said the impeachment court's second order is impossible to fulfill
01:23because the 20th Congress has not yet convened.
01:26So, however, the United States is under the court of好了
01:44claiming the House of Representatives.
