00:00Two questions po. First, natanong ko na rin po ito kay Chair Luistro kahapon.
00:05Do you agree doon sa sinasabi ni Congressman Z. Adjong, yung spokesperson po ng prosecution team na mukhang wala pong
00:13ebidensya si VP Sara?
00:14Wala siyang dependsang namamount kasi yung strategy niya is towards dismissal?
00:20Siguro po sa private prosecutors po natin.
00:24I think yung tinong mo is evident sa sagot ng Vice President mismo kasi napakapal ng sagot pero ang nagpakapal
00:44nun ay annexes.
00:45Ano yung annexes? Annexes na hindi bago. Annexes ng final niya sa Supreme Court. Annex na final niya sa House
00:53Committee on Justice.
00:57Puro annexes. Pag tinignan natin yung kanyang answer, e wala namang allegation, wala namang statement kung ano yung iprepresentan nila.
01:10On all the articles, they did not state, they did not deny, general denials lang pero hindi nila sinabi, deny
01:19-deny namin ito kasi ito ang ebidensya namin.
01:23Ganun dapat ang sagot sa answer.
01:24All four articles of impeachment, e wala pong sinabi kung bakit dini-deny niya ang culpable violation of the Constitution,
01:37ang grave threats, ang bribery, an unexplained wealth, ang betrayal of public trust.
01:44Wala siyang sinagot doon. Walang sinabing we have witnesses to show. Or this is our evidence.
01:49Wala. Quinession na naman niya. Inulit na naman niya. Jurisdiksyon, one-year ban, one-year ban, due process.
02:00At saka partial daw ang House Committee on Justice, nag-mini-trial, abusive daw ng coercive power sa subpina.
02:10At gumawa pa ng sariling ebidensya, ang House Committee on Justice beyond the impeachment complaints.
02:18Ngayon, sa tanong mo, tama ba ang sinabi ng spokesperson ng House?
02:25Ang sagot, e oo. Kung meron kang ebidensya, ba't katakot na sagutin sa answer?
02:32I would have thought that the Vice President was more courageous and more transparent since sinabi ng kanyang mga spokesperson
02:41at defense team na ready-ready na sila.
02:46At maalala natin, ang sinabi niya noon, to quote a previous, maybe long-time statement, e ba meron daw bloodbath
02:57na mangyayari.
02:58E saan ang bloodbath na yun? Nakikita ko, personally, bubble bath yan, hindi bloodbath.
