00:26Nakatutok live si Tina Pangaliban Perez.
00:28Tina.
00:33Mel, Emil, Vicky, sinimulan na kanina ng House Committee on Justice
00:37ang deliberasyon sa mga inihain impeachment complaint
00:40laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:43Sa kabuang apat na reklamo, dalawa lang po ang uusan.
00:48This Cabrera impeachment complaint, sufficient in form, so ruled.
00:54Walang kumontra sa mga miyembro ng House Justice Committee
00:58sa pagdeklarang sufficient in form
01:00ang ikatlo at ikaapat na impeachment complaint
01:03laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:06Ang ikatlong reklamo ay ang inihain ng mga pari,
01:10madre at grupo ng mga abogado noong February 9
01:14at inendorso ni ML Partilist Representative Laila Delima.
01:18Habang ang ikaapat na reklamo naman ay ang inihain ng isang ator ni Nathaniel G. Cabrera
01:24noong February 18 at inendorso ni na House Committee on Human Rights Chair Benny Abante Jr.
01:30at Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega V.
01:34Ang grounds for impeachment na isinusulong nila laban sa vice,
01:38culpable violation of the Constitution,
01:41betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption,
01:44and other high crimes.
01:46Nakabase ito sa umano'y maling paggamit ng confidential funds
01:50ng Office of the Vice President noong 2022 at 2023
01:54at Department of Education noong 2023.
01:58Umano'y panunuhol sa mga opisyal ng DepEd.
02:02Pagkontrata sa isang gunman para umano'y ipapatayang Pangulo,
02:06First Lady at dating House Speaker.
02:09Hindi pagdeklara ng lahat ng kanyang mga ari-arian sa kanyang salen
02:13at pagsusulong ng political destabilization at sedition.
02:18The chair set aside the first impeachment complaint.
02:25Pero ang unang impeachment complaint na inihain ng iba't-ibang progressive groups
02:29na inendorso ng mga kongresista mula sa makabayan block
02:33na isang tabi kasunod ito ng pagtatalo sa kumite
02:37kung labag sa one-year bar rule dahil inihain ang unang reklamo noong February 2.
02:43Taliwas ito sa nakasaad sa July 2025 decision ng Korte Suprema
02:48na wala dapat bagong reklamo bago ang February 6.
02:52The Supreme Court in its decision noong July 25 to 2025
02:58clearly said that no new impeachment complaints if any
03:02may only be commenced no earlier than February 6 of 2026.
03:07Pero matapos ang inilabas na desisyon ng Korte Suprema
03:11na nagbasura with finality sa apela noon ng Kamara,
03:15sabi ng ilang bambabatas,
03:17nagbago ang pagtutuos ng one-year bar rule
03:20dahil sa binagong kahulugan ng session days.
03:23It has elapsed either February 15 or January 30.
03:28January 2 is therefore a right, correct timing to file the decision,
03:34to file the complaint.
03:36Let me emphasize the word used by the Supreme Court.
03:40May only be commenced.
03:43So ang punto po natin dito ay gumagamit ng bagong lingwahe
03:51ang Supreme Court.
03:53The one-year bar rule as we established earlier in the Constitution
03:57speaks about initiation of impeachment proceedings.
04:02Yun po ang pinagbabawal.
04:04Hindi po kasalanan ng mga complainants
04:07na they relied on the latest redefinition,
04:12reinterpretation by the Supreme Court.
04:15We followed what is under the rules of the House.
04:20But the House is not the problem.
04:25It is the other department.
04:27When the impeachment complaint was forwarded to the Senate,
04:34it was used.
04:36That's why we are trying to be careful.
04:39Ang ikalawa namang impeachment complaint
04:41na inihain ng ilang civil society groups
04:44at inendorsory ni Dalima
04:46at ni Akbayan Partylist Representative Percy Sandanya
04:50binawi na mga complainant.
04:52Yan daw ay para suportahan na lang
04:54ang third impeachment complaint
04:56nang sa gayon ay mapabilis ang proseso.
05:00Tinanggap at inuprubahan ito ng komite.
05:03Sa simula ng deliberasyon,
05:05ay sinagot ni Justice Committee Chairperson
05:07Representative Jervie Luistro
05:09ang mga punang nakakapagod na ang impeachment,
05:12lalo't ikalawang proceeding na ito laban sa BISE
05:15at kababasura lang
05:17ng naunang lapan
05:18kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
05:19Some have asked,
05:22are we not tired of impeachment?
05:25But the answer, my dear colleagues,
05:28is simple.
05:30The Constitution does not get tired.
05:35The rule of law does not get tired.
05:39Accountability does not get tired.
05:43There is no option to ignore these complaints.
05:47Connestyo naman ng isang kongresista
05:49ang kakayahan ng mga kongresistang magdesisyon ng patas
05:53dahil sa aligasyong ilan sa kanila
05:55ay nakatanggap na mga maleta ng pera.
05:58Bottom line, we have to be impartial.
06:01That's why I would like to raise this.
06:05The speech of our distinguished colleague
06:07is absolutely relevant to the question
06:09of sufficiency of form and substance
06:13in the matter.
06:14I think his speech is out of order.
06:17Matapos itahin ang chairperson ng kumite si Suntay
06:20na walang kinalaman sa diskusyon
06:22ng kanyang pahayag,
06:23nagdesisyon ng kumiting burahin sa records
06:26ang mga komento nito.
06:28Si House Speaker Faustino D. III naman
06:30tiniyak na hindi magiging trial by publicity
06:34ang deliberasyon ng Committee on Justice.
06:36Hindi raw niya i-impluensyahan ng kumite
06:39at sisiguruhin niyang uusad ang proseso
06:42ng naaayon sa batas at bukas sa lahat.
06:50Ipagpapatuloy ang deliberasyon
06:52ng House Committee on Justice 10 a.m. bukas
06:55para pag-usapan naman ang sufficiency in substance
06:58ng mga reklamo.
07:00Vicky?
07:01Maraming salamat sa iyo, Tina Panginiban Perez.
07:04Sa obnay, sa pagdeklarang sufficient inform
07:07ng ikatlo at ikaapat na impeachment complaints,
07:11hindi raw muna magkokomento
07:12ang kampo ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:15Patuloy rin ang nilang imomonitor
07:17ang mga pagdinig
07:18at magbibigay lamang ng pahayag
07:20kung kinakailangan.
