00:32Paano po pinili ng House Prosecution Team yung mga kongresistang i-assign dun sa bawat articles of impeachment?
01:01Para po may lahat nila ng mas maayos ang magiging presentasyon nila, evidences, kung sakaling umabot dun sa punto na
01:11yung articles of impeachment ay pag-uusapan na.
01:13So I think it's more on having the expertise because the people deserves nothing less but the accurate information that
01:23they deserve to know.
01:25So invested na masyado dito ang ating kababayan, so they deserve nothing less but the truth.
01:35And we can only establish the truth if there's an accurate information that will be provided to them.
01:42And the only way to do that is to have a specialized focus on particular articles so that they can
01:49effectively not only present their evidences,
01:53but effectively argue before the Senate acting as impeachment court the cases and the allegations against the Vice President.
02:01Paano po naghahanda ngayon itong prosecution panel?
02:06The prosecution, naghahanda naman sila eh.
02:09Since na nagkaroon na po sila ng assignments, they are now preparing ang kanilang magiging response.
02:17Kasi today I think the camp of the Vice President has confirmed that they are in receipt of the summons
02:24to comment on the articles of impeachment.
02:27So non-extendable 10 days.
02:29So once they're done with that, the prosecution panel will also give in 5 non-extendable 5 days to respond
02:37to the comments of the Vice President.
02:39I think because of the confirmation of the comment of the Vice President, that's one of the things that the
02:45prosecution would anticipate,
02:47the prosecution team would anticipate, and how they would respond to the comments of the Vice President.
02:52Ngayon na bago na po yung liderato ng Senado, ano po nakikita niyong implication ito sa gagawing impeachment trial ni
02:58VP Duterte?
02:59Well, nakita naman natin na fourth week, na kinongvene ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano yung ating Senado na maging impeachment
03:12trial, no?
03:14Court, rather, no?
03:15So we anticipate that following the wearing of the robes and then convening the Senate into an impeachment court,
03:24we understand that the Senate is finally exercising their constitutional duty to try and decide the merits of the case.
03:34We understand that once the trial will start,
03:41na-anticipate naman natin with the evidences that the prosecution team will provide,
03:45ang buong, hindi lang po ang Senado, but ang buong bayan po ang makikinig at makikilahok dito sa usaping impeachment
03:56na to.
03:57So we anticipate a favorable action from the Senate as an institution because they have already convened,
04:04again, convened as an impeachment court.
04:06And they have already issued a writ of summons for the camp of the Vice President with a non-extendable
04:13days of 10 days to comment on the articles
04:16and also a non-extendable 5 days for the prosecution to comment to jumpstart the preliminary, the pretrial of the
04:27impeachment court.
04:28Nabanggit nyo nga po yung mga Senador, yung buboto rito,
04:30pero mahalaga rin na makita ito ng taong bayan at mahimay yung mga ebidasyong ipipresenta ng prosecution team.
04:35Bakit po mahalaga na makita ito ng taong bayan?
04:39Well, una-una, pinag-uusapan po dito natin ay yung Constitution.
04:43Though as ang Vice President po ang nililitis, pero ang lumilitis po talaga sa kanya ang Constitution.
04:49Dahil ang nakataya po dito yung accountability mechanism ng Constitution,
04:53na sinasabi naman po ng ating batas, saligang batas, na wala pong nangunguna sa batas ng bayan.
05:01Ibig sabihin, no one should be above the law.
05:03Ay meron naman pong probable cause na na-establish during the confirmation hearings po ng Committee on Justice.
05:13Nararapat po na dahil ang Constitution po ang nakataya dito,
05:16nararapat lamang po ng ating buong taong bayan,
05:19ay makita nila yung soundness ng mga allegations at saka yung mga evidences na ipipresenta
05:26na talagang ang Vice Presidente ay kailangan litisin dahil mayroong violations sa Constitution,
05:32culpable violations of the Constitution,
05:35yung betrayal of public trust na nakasad doon sa articles of impeachment,
05:40na napapaloob nung ginawa po niyang threats against the sitting President,
05:46the First Lady, the former Speaker,
05:47yung mga non-disclosure ng kanyang SAL-EN,
05:51yung mga confirmation ng AMLA na there were deposits made,
05:56na hindi nag-appear doon sa SAL-EN niya,
05:59yung confirmation po ng IKFAO,
06:02saying that the confidential funds have been utilized outside of the Joint Memorandum,
06:08at yung pang sinasabi po ng IKFAO to restitute the 173 million pesos right away
06:18and for other portion of the confidential funds in the first, second, and third quarter of 2024
06:25that was flagged by the COA as disallowed, meaning hindi tama yung paggasta.
06:32So these are all things that the public should know because nararapat po,
06:37because we are a public servant, nararapat po na yung accountability
06:42at saka yung responsibility natin to explain it to the proper people
06:46kasi sa kanila po talaga nanggagaling ang legitimacy ng ating opisina.
06:50Bakit nyo po nakikita ang pagsubok o hamon yung pagkalat ng fake news sa gagawing paglilitis?
06:55Ina-anticipate nyo ba na magkakaroon ng troll operation against the prosecution team?
07:00Ina-anticipate po natin kasi invested masyado ang buong ka ang mga kababayan natin
07:06at meron din naman po section na mga supporters ng Vice President
07:10para po magkaroon ng clarity ang ating mga kababayan
07:14dahil mismo ang mga recent surveys, tumalabas po na 69% according to OCTA survey
07:20ay gusto po nilang umunsad itong paglilitis na ito.
07:24It's either, you know, you can either propose or agree to the position of the prosecution
07:31but definitely the people deserves to know the truth,
07:36deserves to know a verified and factual information.
07:42Kasi unang-una, ang tumatayo po dito ang Constitution.
07:45Ang Constitution sinasabi po niya, meron accountability ang mga impeachable officers
07:51since tayo, yung mga impeachable officers, ang source ng kanilang legitimacy
07:55to continue serving as Vice President.
08:00In this case, the Vice President Sara Duterte,
08:02and ang gagaling sa tao, ay nararapat lamang na ang taong bayan
08:07ay marinig nila at madinggin nila at makita nila itong mga evidences
08:11na ipapresenta ng prosecution.
08:13At the same time, marinig din nila mabigyan ng opportunity
08:16at marinig din nilang defense kung anong magiging argumento nila
08:20to counter these evidences.
08:23Sa punto po ito, may agang-ma-agang pa ba kung dadalo ang Vice President o hindi
08:27dun sa impeachment trial?
08:30Wala po tayong posisyon para sagutin yan
08:33pero ang panawagan po ng prosecution team
08:36ay simula po nung nagkaroon tayo ng confirmation hearings
08:39ay makadalo sana ang ating Vice President
08:42kasi we are also in compliance with the principle of due process.
08:46Nakita naman po natin yan during the confirmation hearings ng Justice Committee.
08:50Unfortunately, hindi po sila dumalo.
08:52So ngayon, nasa dependsa na po yan.
08:57Although ang posisyon natin is dapat lang po dumalo ang ating Vice President.
09:01Sa tingin nyo po, gaano katagal yung itatakbo ng impeachment trial
09:04or at least yung presentasyon ng prosecution team
09:07dun sa mga evidensyang kailangang ilatag?
09:11Well, dun lang tayo magbabase doon sa confirmation
09:15ng binigay po ng kampo ng Vice President
09:19na nareceive na nga po nila itong summons to comment on the articles of impeachment.
09:27So ibig sabihin kung non-extendable days po yan ang binigay ng Korte
09:33ay doon po tayo yung reckoning point natin para bilangin ng araw
09:38ay mag-umpisa po ngayon.
09:40Tapos pag within, let's say, within 10 calendar days,
09:44mag-respond na po siya,
09:45mabibigyan din po ng 5 non-extendable days
09:50ang prosecution team para mag-respond doon sa naging komento.
09:55So doon po yung ating basihan
09:56at doon din po magkakaroon ng pre-trial
10:00na pre-trial ang Senate at tingin sa impeachment court.
10:06So magsiset po yung actual trial date
10:08pagkatapos po ng pre-trial na yan.
10:10So it's really difficult for me
10:12to probably predict on how long
10:16or when will be the actual trial begin.
10:19Magdidepende po yan doon sa marking of evidences,
10:22presentation of potential witnesses
10:23during the pre-trial
10:24after the prosecution team
10:26has already responded to the comments of the Vice President
10:29on the articles of impeachment.
10:31At this point, na-secure na po ba
10:33yung lahat ng mga tetestigo
10:35laban sa Vice President?
10:38Sa ngayon po,
10:39the prosecution team is working on that.
10:42Wala pa pong pre-trial.
10:43Malalaman na po natin yan during the pre-trial
10:45because part of that is also
10:47the presentation of potential witnesses.
10:50At kailan nyo po i-anunsyo yung pangalan
10:52ng mga makakasama nyo ng private prosecutors?
10:55Baka po,
10:57baka doon na po sa pre-trial yan,
11:00sa ngayon,
11:00ang tumatayo pong prosecution
11:02yung mga public prosecutors po natin,
11:04composed of representatives, no?
11:06From the House of Representatives
11:08na tatayo pong public prosecutors.
11:10And these are the 11 members
11:12ng prosecution panel
11:14who presented themselves
11:16the other day, no?
11:17During their press conference.
11:18Marami po tayong aabangan.
11:19Maraming salamat po
11:20sa oras na binahagi nyo
11:21sa Balitang Hali.
11:22Maraming salamat,
11:23Sir Raffi.
