00:00Nais ko din pong kumpirmahin ang sinabi ni Congressman Toby Chanco na ang pag-file ng impeachment complaint laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte

00:10ay ginamit na paraan ni Speaker Romualdez para mag-release ng pondo nila na naka-FLR or for late release bago mag-eleksyon.

00:21Mas kinaalam po niya na hindi po ito kayang talakayin ng Senado hanggang sa Hunyo pa mula't mula at mula nung simula.

00:31Ulitin ko, ginamit ni Martin Romualdez ang FLR ng pangalan ng Pangulong Marcos upang itulak ang kanilang unconstitutional na impeachment complaint.

00:41Sabi nila, pumirma kayo dahil kung hindi, hindi lalabas ang pondo nyo na naka-FLR bago mag-eleksyon.

00:48Subalit, ginong Pangulo, hindi ito umubra. Hindi ito umubra dahil tinanggihan ito ni PBBM.

00:56Sinabi niyang walang ganyang uri ng usapan at sinabi niyang hindi niya gagawin yun.

01:03Kaya't haka ngayon, nananatili pa rin for late release ang mga kwestyonabling pondo nila.

01:09And that is why, Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, at the height of the impeachment controversy

01:14and amidst the passion of some sectors to remove the Vice President at all costs,

01:20I urge prudence and level-headedness because I knew that greed and not accountability was the reason behind it.

01:30In the end, Mr. President, the Supreme Court vindicated us.

01:33The Supreme Court vindicated us by saying among others,

01:36There is a right way to do the right thing at the right time.

01:42This is what the rule of just law means.
