00:00This is a very important argument that the impeachment is a simple, but sacred process.
00:13In our constitution, our legal law, you don't need an abogado to understand it.
00:21Plain language.
00:24Napakasimple.
00:25Kahit di abogado, you don't understand it.
00:27Sa nangyari sa desisyon ng Supreme Court, at ito po ay ayon sa aming motion for recon,
00:33may mga isinusog na mga requirements na lalong nagpahirap sa impeachment.
00:44Dadaan ka ngayon sa butas ng karayom para mapanagot ang nagkasalang public official.
00:52Dadaan ka sa butas ng karayom.
01:22Ang sabi nila, there should be a standard of proof na wala sa konstitusyon.
01:28More importantly, or equally important, I must say, ang sabi ng Supreme Court sa desisyon na we argued against,
01:40na may kaukulang paggalang.
01:43Yung reasonable time, hindi sinabi ng Supreme Court kung ano yung reasonable time.
01:49Ang sinabi lang sa desisyon, we can review yung reasonable time.
01:53Once you have done it, so humira po talaga.
01:58I'm sad to say, yung accountability po, nawala ng ngipin.
02:04Kung ito po, susundin natin, o susundin, ang naging desisyon ng Supreme Court.
02:13Nasa MRU yan.
02:16Atty, katanggap-tanggap po ba ngayon na mahirap mag-impeach ng isang public official?
02:21Hindi po.
02:23Kasi ho, public office is a public trust.
02:28Number one yan, na prinsipyo.
02:31Hindi pribilehyo na umupo ka dyan.
02:36Kaya nga, they are servants of the people.
02:41It's a public trust.
02:43Kayo ang nangangalaga ng interes ng sambayanan.
02:48Pinagkatiwala sa inyo ang kapakanan ng buong bansa.
02:54Pag ito ay trinaydor mo, dapat managot ka.
02:59Yan yung purpose ng impeachment.
03:01To protect the body politic.
03:04Hindi, not to protect the impeachable officer.
03:09It is to protect the body politic.
03:12Ang sambayanan.
