00:00Good morning po, Yusek. Yusek, Senate President Cayetano insisted not to implement the warrant of arrest within the Senate premises.
00:06Pero nangyari pa rin po, would it set a possible precedent for possible future arrests sa mga Senators to be
00:13carried out within the Senate if necessary, kahit po na pinapalaga ng Senate leader sa ngayon?
00:19Unang-una po kasi, alam naman po nila na kapag ang isang crime, kung ang isang Senador ay involved sa
00:29isang crime at may warrant of arrest, at ang crime na ito, ang penalty ay maaaring imprisonment of more than
00:376 years, alam nila na pwede itong arestuhin.
00:40So, hindi po nga kailangan na sila ay humadlang, mas magandang makipag-cooperate sila sa mga law enforcers. Yung po
00:48ang tamang proseso at yung po ang may paggalang sa bawat institusyon.
00:54Final question, Ivan Mayrina, GMA7.
00:57Ma'am, sa statement na inilabas ni Senate President Cayetano, he is framing this issue as a battle for Senate
01:07independence.
01:07Ang implication po nito, may pakikialam ang executive, ang malakanyang, sa affairs ng Senado. Your statement please.
01:16That's right. Senate independence. Independence from what?
01:22Ano ba ang pinapalagan ni Sen. Alan Cayetano?
01:27Saan ba nakialam ang Pangulo?
01:30Tama lamang po na i-serve ang valid warrant of arrest.
01:35Ang ibig po ba niyang sabihin kapag nagsisilbi po ng valid warrant of arrest sa Senado, sa mga itong klaseng
01:43crimes, ay dapat hindi isilbi?
01:47So, yun ang tanong.
01:48So, papaano magkakaroon ng pagtutulungan, kooperasyon, ang bawat sangay ng gobyerno kung merong magmamataas?
01:58Merong hindi tutupad sa batas?
02:00At merong maghahari-harian?
02:03Hindi pwede ganun. Lahat po dapat patas.
02:06Pa tas.
02:07By만 ang.
02:10Takoo.
02:19Pa tas.
