00:00We need to be vigilant. That's possible.
00:05So, we need to apply double-double the pressure to the Senate.
00:11And we need to do this for a reason to be able to understand the truth of people's lives.
00:19Which is, we need to start the trial.
00:24Clear the numbers.
00:26May recent survey, nagsabi 69%, gusto nang magsimula yung trial.
00:31Kahit mga mismong supporters ni VP Sara, gusto magsimula para maklear yung name niya.
00:38Unfortunate lang na sa lahat ng opportunities na na-provide kay VP,
00:42ay hindi niya po hinawakan yun or ginamit para ibigay yung sagot na taon-taon nang hinihintay ng taong bayan.
00:51So, sa parte naman ng kabataan, sila ay nag-raise din ang alarm na yung change in leadership could mean
01:02a detrimental effect on the impeachment trial.
01:08That's why different organizations na pinanggalingan din ng mga senators na nasa bagong majority,
01:19pinapanawagan din sila na gamitin yung konsensya nila para bumoto and even umakto accordingly doon sa konsestisyon at batas.
01:32So, naasahan natin, pero kung kumilos yung mga mayan, kung kumilos ang kabataan, mararamdaman natin yung pag-prevent nun.
01:41Parang ang nangyari, hindi ba si Vice President Saras, she dismisses all yung nilalaman ng articles of impeachment.
01:56Parang sinasabi yan, this is pure fiction, baseless, unfounded.
02:01So, can we expect yung mga pro-Duterte among the senators to reflect the same stand and ipakwash yung impeachment
02:14trial?
02:14Baka may range of stances sila. Meron dyan, maghahawak ng posisyon na dapat may trial pa rin tumuloy-tuloy kahit
02:28papaano.
02:29Then sa loob, pwedeng maniobrahin yung motions in a way favorable kay VP Sara.
02:35Meron namang po posisyon na hindi talaga gawin at all ang trial.
02:40Huwag simulan dahil reflecting yung posisyon ni VP Sara, quote-unquote baseless siya.
02:48Pero ang sa atin naman, ang klaro, at every step of the way, public records yung hawak natin.
02:56Government documents ang hawak natin para masabi, na may basihan na yung impeachment offenses sinacharge sa kanya,
03:06dapat i-hash out to a full-blown trial.
03:11So, andyan yung confidential and intelligence funds, na ang koa na mismo naglabas ng mga desisyon,
03:18and even desisyon sa apela ni VP at ng OVP,
03:22na mayroon diyan nahanap na hindi naayon sa memorandum nila yung paggasta.
03:30At may inu-order, at may inuutos na ibalik sa kaban ng bayan.
03:37Meron din yung unexplained wealth, 6.7 billion pesos flagged by the Anti-Money Laundering Council,
03:45na covered at suspicious transactions.
03:48Malaki yun.
03:49Hindi pa tumpik-tumpik at hindi kung saan-saan nahugot na numero.
03:55And actually, empowered yung AMLOC na i-receive from the banks themselves,
04:01na sila nag-report, na fina-flag nila yung gantong klaseng transactions.
04:06And even, yung outright statements sinasabi sa mamamayan,
04:11papatay siya ng tao.
04:13Nakaka-alarmay yun, di ba?
04:15So, yan lahat public records yan.
04:18Dumaan sa mahabang proseso para sumunod sa rules of evidence
04:24na maisumite sa House Committee on Justice and sa Senate to convene as an impeachment court.
04:32So, may mga magsasabi ng ganyan,
04:34pero confident tayo na dumaan yan sa proseso na hindi masasabi
04:38at maibabato yung ganong akusasyon.
04:52Outro
