00:00How do you think of this Trump case, the prosecution?
00:04Again, because of who I am and my relation to the president,
00:08I am not in the best place to comment on the impeachment.
00:13Diba?
00:14Kasi kung sasabihin ko sa inyo na, ah, talagang malakas ang kaso nila,
00:17oh, of course, sasabihin niya yan dahil anak siya ng Pangulo.
00:20Kung sasabihin ko mahina, ay, hindi nagkukunwari lang yan dahil namumuliti ka.
00:23So, you know, again, I'm not in the best position to comment on that.
00:28But, sir, you were the first to sign the first impeachment case against VP Saturday last year, 19th Congress.
00:33With all the, you know, evidence na nakuha po ng House Committee on Justice,
00:37natagdagan pa ng firearms, firearms daw po, na allegedly undeclared,
00:42gano'n po kalakas sa tingin nyo, makakakuha ng conviction yung House prosecution?
00:45Again, I don't wanna comment na lang. You're right, I was the first person to sign last impeachment.
00:49But, again, I think that was me being more of a son than a, ah, than a, um,
00:57then a House member, and I, you have to remember, I was a majority leader at the time.
01:01Ah, and now that I am, I was senior deputy majority leader at the time.
01:05Um, I, I think so. Last year niyo, no?
01:0919th Congress? Yeah, 19th Congress.
01:11Um, yeah. So, it's, it's different now.
01:15You know, I, I, I don't only represent the first district of the Opus Norte,
01:21I'm not only, ah, the son of the president, but I also represent the institution now as majority leader.
01:28So, magkaiba na. And, to tell you the truth, I did let my emotions get the better of me.
01:32That was the first time I experienced something like that. So, of course, ah, I guess less than that.
01:38You know, the true state wouldn't, but I think it's true.
01:50You know, the true state would.
