00:00Diba't iba ang tugon ng mga senador kung itutuloy ba ang impeachment trial laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:08Yan ang ulat ni Daniel Manalastas live.
00:11Daniel.
00:14Dominic, naging mainit nga ang talakayan ng mga senador sa plenary session hingil nga sa magiging kapalaran ng impeachment device President Sara Duterte.
00:23Agad tumayo si senador Rodante Marcoleta para magmosyon na ipadismiss ang impeachment complaint laban kay VP Sara.
00:35Isa-isang pinunto ni Marcoleta ang tila mali sa laging proseso sa impeachment.
00:39Katulad na lang ng ilang naging paglabag umano at ilang proseso na hindi umano na sundan ng tama.
00:46Pero agad tumayo si Senate Minority Leader Tito Soto para tutulan ang mosyon ni Marcoleta.
00:51Binanggit isoto kung bakit delikado kung agarang ipapadismiss sa impeachment ni VP Sara na dahil nga raw may apela pang nakabimbin sa Korte Suprema.
01:03Hilaw po eh. Hilaw na hilaw.
01:07Sinasabi na nga walang impeachment complaint bukod sa isa laban sa isang opisyal sa loob ng isang ta...
01:14Akalaan mo namang apat po agad ng ipinay.
01:16Pagkatapos yung apat ay kukonsider mo na isa.
01:20Hindi naman po yata tama yun.
01:22I respectfully move that impeachment complaint be dismissed.
01:26The vice president is a friend of mine.
01:28The former president, President Duterte, has been my friend since 1988.
01:35Everybody knows that.
01:36What I'm pointing out is the danger of outright dismissing the impeachment proceedings by virtue of a decision that is not yet final and still pending appeal.
01:53Let us not dismiss forthwith.
01:56Dominic Aui sa pagpapalita ng mga argumento ang dalawang senador.
02:04Ayon kay Marcoleta, base sa kanyang karnasan, ang mga ganitong klaseng desisyon ng Korte ay kahit iapela, ay mukhang malabong mabaliktad.
02:12So, may kasabihan po tayo, ang tumatakbo ng matulin, kung mga tinik ay malalim.
02:22Kaya dapat siguro pag-isipan muna natin kung tama ba na bago mag-desisyon ang Supreme Court, basta ibasuran na natin ang kaso na ito.
02:33At saka po tayo pag nananakbo, ako po ay nakasapatos at saka sa kalsada kaya hindi po akong matitinik.
02:39Si Sen. Pan Filonacson naman tumayong soprenaryo para kwestiyonin kung nasa rules ba ng Senado ang mosyon para ipadismiss.
02:49Pero may paliwanag dyan si Sen. President Francis Scudero na nagbanggit din ang ilang nakalipas na kaso noong may kaugnaay sa impeachment.
02:57Narito ang kanilang pahayag.
03:00Nowhere in our rules can I find a provision on a motion to dismiss as submitted by the Honorable Gentleman from Tarlac.
03:09Obviously, we are now assembled in plenary, not as an impeachment court, but as a legislative body.
03:19And I cannot relate to a motion in this plenary to an issue that involves a collective decision that falls solely and exclusively under the jurisdiction and authority of an impeachment court.
03:37We were faced with this question, but the very people asking us to wait right now were the very same people who were telling us before to ignore dependency of a case
03:49in the Supreme Court precisely regarding this impeachment complaint.
03:53They were egging the Senate, even if we were on recess, to precisely proceed with the trial in spite and despite the pendency of cases in the Supreme Court.
04:03And the chair, with an abundance of caution, same with the good senator right now, decided to afford the Supreme Court time during the recess to decide on the matter.
04:15This was actually done, although not via a motion to dismiss, but a motion to archive in relation to the impeachment complaints of Senate, of then-Senate, then-President Estrada and Ombudsman Gutierrez.
04:31In fact, in the case of Ombudsman Gutierrez, it was our distinguished minority floor leader himself, acting as majority leader, I believe, who moved that the case be archived.
04:40In the case of Ombudsman Gutierrez, it was the case of Ombudsman Gutierrez.
05:10Vice President Sara Duterte.
05:13So, balita, iba yung nangyari, kundi nagkaroon kagad ng motion upang ipadismiss itong impeachment complaint.
05:20Dominic?
05:21Alright, maraming salamat, Daniel Manalasnas.
