00:00As to the opinion of some people, that there are no smoking guns in this and other complaints, I beg
00:08to disagree, Madam Chair.
00:10The video containing the Vice President's threat to kill the President, the First Lady, and then House Speaker, as well
00:16as the media interview where she affirmed it, is a smoking gun.
00:21The numerous documents evidencing payments or the debts with fictitious names are smoking guns.
00:28Sabalia et al.'s complaint is replete with many other documentary evidence which are also smoking guns.
00:35And even assuming, without conceding, that the evidence in the articles are not or no longer smoking guns, we have
00:43them this time.
00:45We will produce them in the form of compelling testimonies and newly discovered material evidence.
00:50One more time with fillings, as the lyrics of a song go.
00:54I reiterate, this House has impeached Vice President Sarah Duterte before.
01:01The records are clear.
01:02This House already determined, at least once, that the allegations against her were serious enough to trigger the constitutional process.
01:12So I ask, respectfully but directly, what has changed?
01:17Have the allegations disappeared?
01:19Have the official reports and audit findings been withdrawn?
01:22Have the sworn testimonies before the previous House hearings been recanted?
01:28Or is the only material development the public, is the public declaration that the Vice President may seek the presidency?
01:36May ihalilin tulad ba ito sa isang supervening event sa law on obligations and contracts?
01:42Yung madalas ding tawagin sa batas na fortuitous event, na pangyayaring hindi inasahan, o kung inasahan man ay hindi naiwasan,
01:52that had already rendered the performance of an obligation impossible or extremely difficult?
01:58Pero sandali lang po.
02:00Hindi ordinaryong obligasyon at pansariling interes ang nakataya rito sa impeachment process.
02:06Nakasalalay rito ang sinumpaang tungkulin natin sa ating bayan at sa ating saligang batas.
02:13Kaya kung wala namang nagbago sa mga facts at sa batas, anong dahilan para magbago ang paninindigan?
02:21O mas malala pa, anong rason para tuluyang mawala ang paninindigan?
02:27If we found the allegations sufficient before by transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate,
02:34then consistency and principled conviction demand that we uphold what this House had firmly decided on before.
02:43Kaya kung wala namang ditang bago ang panasalala,
02:47then consistency and�니다czema rito sa batasen ang panginnong.
02:49Kaya kung wala namang pangin kampakata,
02:49na kobe n***a,
02:51na kobe n***a.
02:52Kaya kung wala namang katakaya rito sa pinakata again na kobe n***a.
02:53Kaya kung wala namang?
