00:00Ma'am, although wala pa po kayong formal notice whether it's July 6 na nga po yung trial proper, but
00:10there were calls po kasi na i-reconsider yung date, lalot meron po ngayong kinreate na subcommittee on the flood
00:21control controversy ang Senado.
00:23O baka daw po matakpan yung, o mahilihis daw po yung usapin ng impeachment.
00:29May we know kung saan nanggagaling yung calls to reconsider the date of July 6?
00:35I think one of the trial spokespersons, Tong Zia, parang nanawagan na, i-reconsider man ito.
00:44Well, my reaction to that is, let us remember that the mandate of the Constitution that is to be forthwith
00:56is not only with respect to convening the impeachment court.
01:00It says, trial forthwith.
01:04In other words, by trial, we mean presentation of evidence, presentation of witnesses.
01:12If ever there will be changes to July 6, it should be earlier and not later.
01:19That is if our intention is to respond to the mandate of the Constitution which says, trial forthwith.
