00:00Sir, na-transmit na po nung office ni Secretary-General Chela Grafil po yung impeachment complaint versus BP Sara.
00:09May winaw lang po, mayroon na po bang, at this point, alam po namin medyo mahaba pa, mayroon na bang preparation na ginagawa ang Senado in case na ma-iakit po sa Senado ang impeachment versus BP Sara?
00:21The Senate is always ready kasi part of our job yan eh, kasama sa rules namin yan.
00:27Mayroon din kaming approved rules of impeachment dati, it's still there, it's standing.
00:32All we have to do is ratify it again, if ever we receive any articles of impeachment, okay?
00:38Para sa'yong concern naman, I have been, I am being briefed by some justices friends
00:45because I would want to concentrate on how to be the presiding officer of an impeachment court
00:52Pagdating sa rules of evidence at saka sa rules on criminal procedures,
01:01yun ang pinakamahalaga lang naman sa ano eh, yun ang pinakamahalaga sa impeachment eh.
01:08Kailangan maliwanag ang pananaw mo sa rules of evidence
01:12Dahil maraming magagaling na abogadong magpapasa ng kung ano-ano sa'yo at sa court.
01:20And then yung rules on criminal procedures, yun.
01:27I'm preparing for that, being the presiding officer.
01:30Now whether I'm the presiding officer or not,
01:34sapagkat pagka-presidente ang ini-impeach,
01:36yung chief justice, ang presiding officer.
01:42Still, as a member of the Senate and as a member of the impeachment court,
01:46you have to be prepared.
01:48Sapagkat hindi po ki-presiding officer,
01:52let's say yung presiding officer eh mayroong gustong isustain na objection,
01:56eh ayaw nung mga member.
01:58Ang member nang masusunod, yung court nang masusunod,
02:01hindi yung presiding officer.
02:02So kailangan, as a senator, alam mo din dapat yung mga rules.
02:07As a senator, you must be aware of whether you're a lawyer or not,
02:13you must be aware of what is acceptable in the rules of evidence.
02:19Yung mga gano'ng.
02:19Kaya kahit regular senator ka lang,
02:23you must prepare in case.
02:25In case there is an article of impeachment that reaches us.
02:28Spain, abagdik niyo po na may nagbe-brief na sa inyo ng mga justices, ano?
02:35Sino-sino po ba yan? Pwede ba natin i-reveal?
02:37And kailan pa po kayo nag-start magpa-brief?
02:40Puro taga ano? Puro taga...
02:42Well, as of now,
02:44tatlong taga...
02:46Dalawang taga...
02:48Dalawang CA.
02:50Dalawang taga CA.
02:52Saka isang tagang taga-CDA.
02:54I mean, CA Court of Appeals,
02:58yung isang taga-Court of Taxa Bills.
03:02Pagka natin makita yung mga pangalan at baka...
03:04Kailan po kayo nag-start?
03:07Pagka yan, o? Nakikisama na.
03:10Kailan po kayo nag-start, sir, noon?
03:13Siguro mga...
03:14Mga two weeks na.
03:18Two weeks na.
03:20As a fact, I had one yesterday.
03:24Hmm...
03:25Apo.
03:26SP, ano mga...
03:27Briefing na yun. Briefing.
03:29Briefing, briefing.
03:30Ako naman, siyempre, basa ng basa.
03:33Tapos, briefing.
03:34Kasi may mga bagay na hindi mo matututunan sa libro eh.
03:39Ganyan.
03:41Apo.
03:42SP, alam po namin na sobrang veterano na po kayo sa mga impeachment,
03:46proceedings, ilang impeachment na pagdaanan nyo.
03:49Pero ano po magiging kaibaan?
03:50Let's say, siyempre nga,
03:51kayo po ang magiging presiding officer this time,
03:53and non-lawyer po kayo,
03:56no, compared dun sa mga dati po nag-preside,
03:58ano po magiging kaibahan na magiging pangumuno nyo sa impeachment court?
04:03Wala naman ako nakikitang dapat maging kaibahan eh,
04:06sapagkat kahit anong si Chief Justice Pernanang...
04:10Iti ka, sino ba?
04:14Si Chief Justice Davide,
04:17presiding officer,
04:19at saka si Senator Juan Ponce Irili,
04:21presiding officer,
04:22they follow the procedures eh.
04:25Ganoon naman kailangan gawin mo,
04:26you follow the procedures.
04:27At saka kapag may controversial,
04:29you throw it to the body.
04:31So, wala ako nakikitang pagkakaiba dapat.
04:34Ganoon din yun.
04:36More or less.
04:37More or less.
04:38Sir,
04:39kung nagkahanda na po kayo yung mga other senators,
04:42at least sa majority,
04:43nagkahanda na rin po ba sila?
04:47Most probably.
04:49Most probably.
04:52I cannot answer in the affirmative mana 100%.
04:56I'm not sure.
04:58Pero maybe.
05:00Because andali naman yun.
05:01Marami silang mga abogado sa paligid nina.
05:04I'm sure they're being briefed every now and then.
05:08Kaya lang,
05:08mas importante yung pagkaya,
05:10let's say,
05:12you're either majority leader
05:13or you're the presiding officer,
05:15you must be well briefed
05:16on how to conduct
05:19the impeachment court.
05:22Conduct lang yun.
05:24Hindi ikaw ang judge.
05:26You must remember na ganoon.
05:28Ang judge yung buong impeachment court.
05:31Yes, sir.
05:32Sir, and lastly,
05:34yung PBBM,
05:36mukhang virtually,
05:37mukhang nabasura na talaga yun.
05:39Pagbubutohan na lang sa plenary.
05:41Pero itong KVP Sara,
05:43sinasabi,
05:43marami nagsasabi na
05:44baka ito yung pumanig talaga sa Senado.
05:46So kung ang matuloy lang po yung KVP Sara,
05:49wala na po yung nabanggit ko siyempre na
05:51MWF or TTHS,
05:53talagang every hapon,
05:55yun ang magiging schedule ng impeachment.
05:58O basta nagkaroon ng impeachment
06:00na kalating sa amin,
06:01ang isasuggest ko
06:03sa aming mga kasama,
06:04na I'm sure papayag naman sila,
06:06is pag umaga,
06:08Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
06:09ang Senate legislative work,
06:149 a.m. to 1 p.m.
06:16gano'n din naman yung
06:17Monday, Tuesday,
06:20when it's saying namin talaga.
06:21And then,
06:22most probably,
06:23I will suggest
06:23that we do Monday to Friday
06:25from 3 p.m. up
06:27sa impeachment court.
06:30Pwedeng patagalin yan.
06:31Kailangan yan as soon as past,
06:32ano,
06:32the fastest way possible.
06:36Unfair to,
06:37ano eh,
06:37unfair to,
06:39unfair to the public
06:40and unfair to the person
06:41being charged.
06:43Okay.
