00:00Thank you, Madam Chair. I just would like to manifest. Since I was Chief of Staff here way back 2004
00:09up to 2024, I witnessed impeachment proceedings against Presidents, one Ombudsman, one Chief Justice.
00:26Please. Pero wala pa po akong narinig na pag-uusap tungkol sa sufficiency in grounds. Ang narinig ko lang lagi,
00:37sufficiency in form and substance. Ngayon ko lang po yata narinig itong bago na rule na ito, sufficiency in grounds.
00:45Could you please clarify me?
00:47For dissatisfaction of the Honorable Marco Letta, please allow the Chair to read Section 7 of the Rules of Impeachment
00:54of the House of Representatives adopted by the 20th Congress of the Philippines.
00:58Section 7, Submission of Evidence and Memoranda, after receipt of the pleadings, affidavit and counter-affidavits, and relevant documents provided
01:09for in Section 6, or the expiration of the time within which they may be filed,
01:15the Committee shall determine whether the complaint alleges sufficient grounds for impeachment.
01:24That is for dissatisfaction of the Honorable Marco Letta.
01:27May I know, Madam Chair, when the Rules were promulgated?
01:32This has been the Rules of Impeachment of the 19th Congress, which the 20th Congress adopted.
01:41This has been part of the previous Rules, which were used during the past impeachment processes.
01:47Opo, kasi bago lang po sa akin yung sufficiency in grounds eh.
01:50Hindi ko po narinig yan sa mga dating proceedings.
01:53Yan lang po, salamat po.
02:08Gunewi ko narinig yan suske po narinig yan suskenen.
