00:00Kasabay ng pagbubukas ng 20th Congress, ilang bagong senador ang nagsabi na kailangan talagang dumaan sa paglilitis ang impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:12Si Daniel Manalastas sa Sentro ng Balita.
00:17June 30 kahapon ng unang araw ng labing dalawang senador na uupo sa kanilang tungkulin sa 20th Congress matapos magwagi sa Hatton Lambayan 2025.
00:28Pagamat ang ilan sa kanila ay re-elected na at nakapanumpa na sa Senate Impeachment Court at magsisilbing senator judge,
00:35may ilan ding bagong halal na senador habang ilan naman ay magbabalik senado.
00:40Pero apela ni Sen. Risa Honteveros,
00:43Sila po ay senador na ng 20th Congress by June 30, 1201.
00:50At dahil in session ang impeachment trial court, at any time, sana mas maaga,
00:57panumpain na sila ni presiding officer.
01:00Wala pang tugon ang presiding officer na si Senate President Jesus Codero sa hiling ni Honteveros.
01:05Ang ilang bagong senador naman, katulad ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo,
01:09naniniwalang kailangan talagang dumaan sa trial o paglilitis ang impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:15Dahil sa section 11, it should go to trial.
01:20You cannot just be throwing it away, di ba?
01:24Parang there's something, no, there's a violation of the Constitution if we will not go on trial.
01:29Pero sabi ni Tulfo, mahalagang makita muna ang laman ng reklamo at mga ebidensya.
01:34I'm not a master of law, di ba?
01:37I just have to really rely as a journalist like you, rely on the pieces of evidence submitted before me.
01:43Parang, di ba, every time we do a story, mayroon tayong mga expose, give me the documents we say.
01:49Then from there, we do. We do the story.
01:52Mga isi Sen. Joel Villanueva ay gineed na kailangan talagang dumaan sa trial.
01:56For me, I don't know if it is still vague to some individuals, yung provision ng Constitution, yung initiation, exclusive sa House, trial, exclusive sa Senate.
02:13For me, parang napaka-clear. We need to have a trial.
02:18Inaasaan naman ni Sen. Tito Soto na may galawa na ang impeachment court sa July 29.
02:23The impeachment court, I expect that the impeachment court will be called by July 29.
02:29It will be possible na yung Sen. President.
02:32At, a fact, yun, yung articles of impeachment ay aming tingin para namigyan ang pagkakamahol yung vote,
02:41la prosecution and defense, to present their side.
02:45Hindi pa pwedeng itin-dribble yun. Hindi pa pwedeng itin-dribble yun.
02:47Hindi pa pwedeng itin-baba yung mabalimang itin.
