00:00Minabuting natin mag-file ng Motion for Intervention dahil malapit nang magsimula ang session ng 20th Congress.

00:07Naniniwala tayong sa Senado ang tamang venue para litisin ang impeachment complaint laban kay VP Sara, hindi sa Supreme Court.

00:17Kung dininig na mataas na korte ang petisyon ng VP, dapat mas dinggin nila ang sambayanan.

00:23The Vice President's Petition is legally unsound.

00:26Ang reklamo nila, na-violate raw ang one-year ban on initiating impeachment complaints.

00:33Apat ang impeachment complaints na na-file, pero isa lang doon ang initiated.

00:38Inuulit ko, isa lang doon ang initiated.

00:41At yun ang verified complaint na ipinasan ng more than one-third ng House members.

00:46The first three impeachment complaints were not referred to the Committee on Justice.

00:51Thus, they do not qualify as initiated complaints.

00:54Only the fourth complaint qualifies as such.

00:59Therefore, lahat ng ginawa ng House ay ayon sa rules of impeachment na nakabatay sa saligang batas.

01:06Sa dulo, sa gitna ng lahat ng nangyayaring ito at mga naririnig natin kung saan nababahala talaga tayo.

01:13Ang tanong lang naman ng taong bayan ay,

01:18will the Supreme Court uphold the Constitution and its doctrines?

01:22Or will it save Sarah and other government officials who abuse power?

01:28Nagbabantay ang taong bayan.
