00:00.
00:12Ipinababasura ni Vice President Sara Duterte
00:14ang Articles of Impeachment laban sa kanya
00:16dahil hindi mo na naayon sa saligang batas.
00:20Pero pwede nga bang ibasura ng Senate Impeachment Court
00:23ang Articles of Impeachment ng hindi nalilitis?
00:26Alamin sa pagtuto ni Maki Pulido.
00:30.
00:32Katwira ni Vice President Sara Duterte
00:34sa sagot niya sa impeachment complaint,
00:37depektibo at hindi akma sa konstitusyon
00:40ang Articles of Impeachment.
00:41Kaya ipinababasura niya sa Impeachment Court
00:44ang mga reklamo.
00:45Pero maaari bang ibasura ng Senate Impeachment Court
00:48ang Articles of Impeachment na inihain ng Kamara?
00:52Sabi sa Article 11 ng ating saligang batas,
00:55Kamara ang may tanging kapangyarihan
00:57na magsimula ng kaso ng impeachment.
01:00Kung gumoto pabor ang one-third ng mga miyembro ng Kamara,
01:03ito na ang magiging Articles of Impeachment.
01:06Nakasaad ding sa oras na may Articles of Impeachment na
01:09trial by the Senate shall proceed forthwith.
01:13Ibig sabihin, ayon kay UP Constitutional Law Professor
01:16Paulo Tamase, sinasabi ng saligang batas
01:19na kailangang litisin at hindi pwedeng ibasura
01:23ng Senate Impeachment Court
01:24ang impeachment complaint
01:26ng walang paglilitis.
01:28Hindi pwede mag-decide yung impeachment court
01:31to dismiss the case.
01:32If you look at the text of the Constitution,
01:34what it says is trial.
01:37And trial involves really the presentation of evidence.
01:40Dagdag niya, ang trabaho ng Senado ay litisin.
01:43Ang Articles of Impeachment,
01:44oras na hawak na nila ito.
01:46Ang sabi ay,
01:47litisin,
01:48hindi sinabing kilatisin.
01:50Natapos na anya sa Kamara
01:52ang pagkilatis.
01:54And therefore,
01:54ang trabaho ng Senate now
01:56is not to second-guess
01:57or review what the House did.
01:59So it's a misunderstanding to think
02:01that the Senate can correct the House.
02:03They are co-equal in government.
02:05So just as the House cannot review the Senate,
02:08the second cannot review the House.
02:09Paalala ni Tamase,
02:11naiiba ang impeachment court
02:12sa regular court
02:13kung saan maaari talagang mabasura ang kaso
02:16dahil sa mga kwestiyon sa teknikalidad.
02:19Normally, in courts outside of the Senate,
02:22normal judicial courts,
02:24mayroon talagang mga preliminary grounds
02:26to dismiss a case
02:28on procedural issues.
02:30And the reason why the court does that
02:32is for one of many possible
02:34technical legal reasons.
02:35What we have is an impeachment proceeding
02:37that is really looking out
02:39for what is the truth
02:40on these important
02:42impeachable grounds or issues.
02:44Makipulido na katuto.
02:4624 oras.
02:52Ai thabati.
02:54Excuse me.
