00:14Balitang hatin ni Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:16Vice, state your name.
00:20Solemnly swear.
00:22Soot ang kalilang maroon na robe na numpa ang mga Senador bilang Senator Judges
00:27sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:31Si Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano ang tatayang presiding officer sa paglilitis.
00:36Matapos man numpa, Jim constituted na ang Senado bilang impeachment court.
00:41Mr. President, the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte
00:47with its annexes are now presented to the court for proper disposition and action.
00:53The same is duly noted and made of record.
00:58Kasunod nito ay ipinag-utos ng Senate Impeachment Court na ipatawag ang bise.
01:03Pinasasagot din siya sa impeachment complaint sa loob ng 10 calendar days.

01:30The Sergeant at Arms is directed to serve the written summons on Vice President Sara Duterte
01:36along with a copy of the Articles of Impeachment.
01:39Five calendar days naman ang ibibigay sa prosekusyon para magkomento sa magiging sagot ni Duterte
01:45pag nakasagot na ang lahat at itatak na ang pre-trial.
01:49Ayon sa defense team ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:52susunod sila at maghahain ng angkop na tugon alinsunod sa konstitusyon at mga alituntunin.
01:58Hindi anilang muna sila magbibigay ng karagdagang komento bilang respeto sa proseso.
02:04Si Senador Bongo, na kilalang kaalyadro mga Duterte,
02:07sinabing gagawin niya ang kanyang trabaho at magiging impartial.
02:11Ako naman magiging impartial po ako.
02:14Inihalal po ako ng 27 million Pilipinos.
02:18Magiging impartial po ako.
02:20Ngunit dapat lumabas po yung katotohanan.
02:23Sabi naman ni dating St. President Tito Soto,
02:26ang mga hakbang ng minorya ay para masigurong matalakay ng Senado
02:30ang Articles of Impeachment at magtuloy ito's trial.
02:34We're making sure that fourth week is followed.
02:38So the responses will come,
02:41and then the responses of the prosecution,
02:48and then pre-trial begins.
02:50And then the trial will begin.
02:53We're making sure.
02:54Yun ang gusto namin mangyakang sa amin dito sa grupo ng minority.
02:58We're making sure that that happens
03:00because yun ang expected ng ating mga kababayan.
03:02It's a part of this one.
03:03It's a part of this one.
03:05To find the truth, to seek justice, to render decision.
03:12We're happy, ayos, smooth feeling of the impeachment.
03:19Sa kabila ng paggulong na impeachment,
03:22tiniyak ni Cayetano na magpapatuloy ang regular na trabaho ng mga senador.
03:26Kaya aayusin ang kalendaryo nila para sa impeachment trial na natiling Senate President si Cayetano.
03:33Sabi ni Cayetano, may mga kinausap umanong majority senator para bumaliktad pero hindi niya pinangalanan kung sino ang kumausap.
03:41There were meetings that took place, calls from both sides.
03:46May enticement, may pananakot.
03:49Intentional na ma-weaken ang Senate because bubuhayin yung constitutional change except this time around,
03:57regional Senate ang gusto nila.
03:59But to do that, part of the enticement is that may term extension and then, yun nga, regional Senate.
04:10Okay pa lahat, sabi yung walang bibigay pero grabe ang pressure.
04:13At saka talagang pinag-aaway.
04:16Wala mang palitan ng liderato,
04:18nagpahayag sina Sen. J.V. Ejercito at MIG Zubiri na sasama na sila sa minorya.
04:24Nag-abstain sila ng magbutuhan para sa Senate President noong nakaraang lunes.
04:28Ayon kay Ejercito, inalok siya noong maging Senate Majority Leader kung sasama siya sa grupo ni Kayatano.
04:35I'd like to thank Mr. President for the trust and honor that I was offered to become the Majority Leader.
04:44But as I have mentioned to you personally, that as of this time, I would rather maintain my independence.
04:54I also recognize that you will say that you will be our number 14.
04:59But until the time that we vote, any member, we have to respect their decision and always ascribe good faith.
05:11Natauhan ako, nagulat ako para sa institusyon na ito.
05:16At napaisip ako ng malalim.
05:18So, I prayed hard and discerned, sought for discernment.
05:25And I said, it's about time that we make a stand.
05:28Na maiba ang pangyayari sa Senado.
05:31Na maibilik natin ang digdidad ng Senado.
05:34For the first time in the history, nagkakotohan ito.
05:37May napipisil naman daw si Zubiri para maging Senate President.
05:41May I just say, this is my candidate course, ha?
05:44Sa ngayon, may labing tatlong miyembro ang mayorya.
05:48Habang labing isa ang minorya na pinamumunuan ni Senador Tito Soto.
05:53Nang matanong kaugnay nito si Soto.
05:55Did you feel frustrated about what happened a while ago na hindi nyo na meet yung 13?
06:00Wala kong ganoon.
06:02Wala kong ganoon.
06:03Speculation pa lang yun.
06:05Ang pulong umunok ng miyorya ay nakatoon sa pagtitiyak na kikilo sila
06:09ng naaayon sa alituntunin at proseso ng Senado.
06:13Pero yung meeting ninyo, what transpired?
06:15We're making sure that the minority will act accordingly.
06:21We'll make sure that the procedures are followed.
06:24That was the reason of your meeting prior to the session?
06:26Yes.
06:27So, did you meet what you aimed for in your meeting?
06:30Did you meet what you aimed for in your meeting?
06:33Yes.
06:35Bago ang sesyon, nagkaroon din ang fellowship lunch si Kayatano kasama ang ilang religious leaders.
06:41What I do not know is if this is the beginning of my journey as the Senate President or if
06:47this is a despidida.
06:49Sabi noon ni Kayatano, tanggap niya kung palitan siya bilang Senate President pero hindi siya magbibitaw sa pwesto dahil sa
06:56nangyaring putukan sa Senado.
06:58Doon sa nagsasabing take responsibility, kayo pumasok dito, kayo na marili. Tapos kami pagre-resignin nyo.
07:05During my watch, hindi nyo natibag ang Senado.
07:09Now, if I remain or kung papalitan ako, sana hindi matibag ang Senado.
07:15The Senate is a target because we are the last line of defense sa pagdating ng hindi impartial na impeachment.
07:26We're the last line of defense sa budget. We're the last line of defense sa charter change.
07:31We're the last line of defense kung merong gustong yumurak o sumira sa ating democracy.
07:37Nagbitiw naman sa pwesto si Senate Secretary Don Mendoza.
07:41Papalit sa kanya si Attorney Jose Luis Montales, natatayo rin Clerk of Court ng Senate Impeachment Court.
07:48Dating city administrator ng tagig city si Montales.
07:52Sandra Aguinaldo, nagbabalita para sa GMA News.
