00:00Can we just get the palace statement? Ma'am, Juan Ponzi and Rile and Gigi Reyes and Janet Lim Napoles were acquitted of 15 counts of graft related to the BIDAF scam.
00:11Nagsalita na ang Korte. So, iga lang natin. Iga lang po natin kung anong desisyon ng Korte.
00:19Pero hindi ho ba ito nakaka-create ng doubt sa isip ng sambayanan na bakit walang napaparusahan?
00:28Yun nga po ang nais nating ipahihwating sa taong bayan. Ang Pangulo, ang gusto niya, kapag nagsampan ang kaso, hindi mabilisan.
00:37Dapat kompleto ang ebidensya. Dahil pagka nagkataon, konti lang mong pagkakamali, especially criminal case ito.
00:44Any doubt. At kapag hindi po naakusahan o nagkaroon ng judgment beyond reasonable doubt, talaga pong magkakaroon ng akwital.
00:53Sige.
00:54How do you convince the public that the palace is not actually just giving a slap on the wrist or parang a light reaction to this given that Juan Ponce Enrile is a sitting official in the Marcos administration?
01:08Paano po tayo makakapagbigay ng anumang influensya sa Korte? Korte po yan. May separation of powers at kailangan po natin iga lang.
01:16Kasi pag hindi po natin ginalang ang mga desisyon ng Korte, magiging chaotic country po tayo. So mahirap po yun. Dapat natin pagtiwalaan ang ating justice system.
