00:00At cognizant articles of impeachment laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte na posibleng pagbotohan sa plenaryo ng Kamara sa susunod
00:06na linggo.
00:07Kausapin natin si House Committee on Justice Chairperson at Batangas 2nd District Representative Jerville Luistro.
00:13Magandang tanghali at welcome po sa Balitang Hali.
00:17Magandang tanghali, Rafi.
00:20Tuleng pag-imbita dito sa Balitang Hali.
00:23Opo. Tuloy na po ba sa May 11 yung botohan sa plenaryo ng Kamara sa articles of impeachment laban kay
00:28VP Sara?
00:31Actually, Rafi, that May 11 is just my recommendation.
00:36I consider the date when the plenary will be able to transmit the committee report, the resolution, and the articles
00:46of impeachment to all the House members,
00:50including the complainant and the respondent Vice President.
00:54Maalala mo, Rafi, sa kasong Duterte v. House of Representatives, sinabi ng Supreme Court na dapat bigyan ng reasonable period
01:05of time
01:05ang House members na mabasa at mapag-aralan ang articles of impeachment, including the evidence, before the plenary vote.
01:14So, assuming that today the plenary will be able to transmit these copies to the House members,
01:24then we have Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, within which the House members should be able to read and study
01:33the articles of impeachment.
01:35Having said that, on May 11, that is a Monday, this coming Monday, the plenary should be able, should be
01:44ready to do the plenary vote.
01:46Okay. Inasahan niyo po ba, nasa committee niyo, unanimous, yung boto ng 55 membro ng committee sa committee report?
01:52Well, somehow I anticipated that, kasi yung sinundan nating botohan, that was the determination of probable cause, we got 55
02:02vote, no?
02:04So, yes, I somehow anticipated that. So, last time it was 53-0, tapos yung kahapon, 55-0, in fact,
02:14tumaas pa siya ng dalawang boto.
02:16At gaano po kayo kakumpiyansa na maaabot yung one-third o 106 votes ng lahat ng kongresista para maaprubahan itong
02:24articles of impeachment?
02:26Because of this 53-0 and 55-0, I am positive that the plenary will approve the committee report, no?
02:37However, as to number, I do not want to pre-empt what number will we be able to get during
02:45the plenary vote.
02:46But because of the numbers that was yielded in the determination of probable cause, as well as the approval of
02:54committee report,
02:56I think these are sufficient basis for us to believe na it will be approved as well in the plenary.
03:03Reaction niyo po doon sa balitang may mga kongresista na umatras sa kanilang boto kapag dadali na sa plenary yung
03:09impeachment complaint?
03:10May listahan pa po raw eh.
03:12I don't know any of the members of the Justice Committee who are intending to withdraw their vote or signature
03:22or who indeed withdrew their vote and signature.
03:26Wala po tayong alam na ganyan.
03:27So, we vehemently deny that allegation as to the withdrawal of vote by the justice members.
03:35At pwede po bang i-withdraw yung kanilang boto?
03:38Well, I don't think that is possible kasi concluded na ang determination ng probable cause.
03:44Concluded na rin ang approval ng committee report.
03:47If ever, they can change their mind when we do the plenary vote.
03:52Reaction niyo po sa sinabi ni Sen. Armie Marcos na tulad daw sa Kamara ay may pananakot din sa Senado
03:57para bumoto laban sa BC.
03:58At persistent pa rin yung mga mga nagsasabing may mga nananakot daw po dito sa mga kongresista
04:03para pagka nagbotohan na sa plenaryo ay mag-iba yung magiging boto.
04:07Well, I can speak only for myself and I can stand firm na walang kumausap, walang nakiusap at walang nanakot
04:19sa akin
04:19in as far as my function as chair of the Justice Committee is concerned.
04:25The performance of my constitutional duty.
04:28So, yung statement ni Sen. Armie, I vehemently deny that.
04:35At nasa na po yung hindi nabuksang BIR box?
04:38Kasama na rin po ba ito sa dadalhin sa Senado?
04:40Kasabay ng committee report sakaling maaprubahan itong advertisement?
04:44I suppose that this will be part of the documents to be transmitted by
04:50that was transmitted by the Justice Committee to the plenary.
04:55But to be specific, dadaan kasi siya ng bills and index
04:59and then the bills and index should include the committee report in the order of business.
05:04Kahapon dapat yun.
05:06At kung nabasa kahapon sa plenary, the plenary should have referred it to the rules
05:12at dapat kasama din kanina sa agenda ng rules, which is supposed to refer it back to the plenary
05:19so the plenary can direct the Secretary General to transmit the copy of the documents to the House members,
05:26most especially the articles of impeachment.
05:28So to your question, nasa na ang mahiwagang box?
05:32I think this is part of those which were transmitted by the committee to the plenary.
05:37Yan po, abangan natin.
05:39E yung reklamo po laban sa inyo ni Atty. Man Scarpio,
05:41kawag na isang pagtalakay sa bank records nila ni VP Sara.
05:44Natanggap niyo na po ba ito?
05:46Wala pa po tayo yung natatanggap na subpoena.
05:49I heard that this was filed in the Office of the City Prosecutor of Quezon City.
05:54So dapat may preliminary investigation muna yan.
05:57So we are anticipating that anytime soon, we will be receiving the subpoena
06:01and we will definitely be the accusation of Atty. Carpio.
06:07Sa ngayon po ba, napag-uusapan na kung sino yung bubuo doon sa panel of prosecutors
06:11kung matuloy itong impeachment trial at magkakaroon po ba ng private prosecutors?
06:15Well, talks are informal just among the justice members, no?
06:20Because I think if this will be approved,
06:23a very small time is allotted for the prosecutors to be able to prepare, no?
06:31So eto naman, we do this by way of election.
06:33It will be the plenary who will elect the members of the prosecution panel, no?
06:37But at least we can anticipate that a number of the justice members
06:43will be recommended or considered to be part of the prosecution panel.
06:49Okay. Maraming salamat po sa paggahatin nyo ng balita sa amin dito sa Balitang Hali.
06:56Thank you, Rafi.
06:58At magandang tanghali po sa lahat ng viewers and followers,
