00:00The spokesperson of the Vice President, Ruth Castello, said yesterday that the country will be able to save millions

00:08if the Supreme Court decides to rule in favor of the Vice President.

00:17That's it, it's not going to be a trial. It's not an impeachment trial.

00:20The impeachment is void.

00:50It's not going to be a trial.

01:20It's okay.

01:22Thank you, sir.

01:28Thank you, Lionesca.

01:30Marian Enriquez from TV Five, go ahead with your questions.

01:34Sir, I'm just going to ask the question of Atalianesca.

01:40When the spokesman Ruth Castello said,

01:43she said, we'll be very lucky actually as a country

01:45because we'll save millions and millions of money on a trial

01:48that is technically defective from the beginning.

01:51So she said, she's defective,

01:53this impeachment case against VP Sarah.

01:56Well, it's not defective as per my opinion.

02:00So I guess she better reconsider her statements.

02:05But of course, it's normal to say that.

02:09Again, millions and millions.

02:11How many millions?

02:13Where is the country's very close?

02:16So if you answer the questions like that,

02:17I'll convince you of the argument.
