00:00Anong mensahe po kaya sa tingin nyo would it send if the Senate remains preoccupied po with internal leadership issues
00:07while an impeachment trial is pending?
00:11Magagalit ang mga tao. Yun ang klaro.
00:15Because the survey already shows the super majority of the Filipino people who are waiting for this trial.
00:22From my last recollection, 74% ng mga Pilipino ang gustong-gustong matuloy na itong impeachment trial na ito.
00:31And remember, the allegations in the present articles of impeachment are the same allegation in the articles of impeachment back
00:39in the 19th Congress.
00:41Ibig sabihin, we are dealing with the same questions on threat, confidential fund, bribery, and unexplained wealth.
00:50Which means, simula 19th Congress hanggang sa oras na ito, wala pa pong naririnig na kasagutan ang sambayan ng Pilipino.
00:59So to your question, kung anong magiging consequence, anong reaction ng mga tao,
01:04certainly from my end, magagalit ang mga Pilipino if we keep on delaying this impeachment trial.
