00:00So ma'am, may chance na bang mangyari yung sinabi ng isang senador?
00:06Robin Padilla, sabi nga, tungkulin daw nila sa minorya na umoppose.
00:12Kaya nga daw opposition eh.
00:13Exactly, yun ang kanyang words na ginamit.
00:15Pwede bang mangyari yun na magbutuhan yung senador?
00:19Kaya ayaw namin na impeachment, mas marami kaming umaayaw.
00:21Pwede bang mangyari yun?
00:24So we respect Senator Robin Padilla, no?
00:28But in the absence of reason, of basis, why the impeachment court should not be convened,
00:36I think it will be very difficult to understand why they will move not to convene.
00:43Dapat, ilatag muna nila, ano bang dahilan?
00:48Eh kung ang Supreme Court nga, to this date, they're not issuing TRO,
00:53they're not issuing an injunction.
00:56Let, give us, he should give us opportunity to hear first,
01:02ano bang dahilan nyo, why you are against convening the impeachment court?
01:07Because his reason, that just because they are opposition,
01:12they will be going against convening the impeachment court,
01:15or going against the impeachment.
01:16That's very difficult to understand.
01:20This is a political exercise.
01:22What is at stake is the best interest of the sovereign Filipino people.
01:36I respect Senator Robin, but his statement is quite difficult to understand,
01:43in the absence of reason or basis, why we should not proceed to convening the impeachment court.
02:02that's very difficult to understand, and why we should not have a duty to defend our agreement.
02:03So, thank you.
