00:11Hindi pa pinal ang mungkahing gawing muling impeachment presiding officer,
00:16si Sen. Cheese Escudero ayon kay Sen. Win Gatchaña.
00:21Walang problema dyan ang mga House Prosecutor.
00:24Kahit si Escudero pa rin ang presiding officer na nagbalik noon sa kamara ang unang impeachment case
00:30laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:33Nakatutok si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:39The Senate is now constituted and convened as an impeachment court.
00:45And the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte is hereby declared open and called to order.
00:53June 2025 ng umupong presiding officer ng impeachment court, sino ay Sen. President Cheese Escudero.
01:01Bago pa man niya sinimula ng impeachment trial noon, naging kontrobersyal ang kanyang pagtrato sa impeachment case
01:08laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte na tinransmit ng kamara sa Senado.
01:13Kahit kasi nakasaan sa saligang batas na kailangan magproceed ang impeachment trial forthwith,
01:19hindi naman daw ibig sabihin nito na agad-agad.
01:22Sa ilalim din ang kanyang pamumuno, ibinalik na impeachment court sa kamara ang Duterte impeachment case
01:28dahil sa mga kwestyon kung nasunod daw ba ang one-year bar
01:32na nagtatakda na isang impeachment complaint lang sa isang taon ang pwedeng ihain laban sa isang opisyal.
01:38With 18 affirmative votes, 5 negative votes, 0 abstention, the motion of Sen. Cayetano is carried.
01:49Isang taon makalipas, may palibago impeachment case ng iniakyat sa Sen. Impeachment Court
01:55laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:58Ayon kay Sen. Ping Lacson, si Escudero, posibli raw muling maging presiding officer ng impeachment court.
02:05Hindi kasi abugado ang kasalakuyang Sen. President na si Sherwin Gatchalian.
02:10Sinusubukan pa naming makausap sa Escudero ukol dito, pero sabi ni Gatchalian, hindi pa naman daw pinalian.
02:17I don't want to pre-empt yung presiding officer discussion. Pag-uusapan pa yan.
02:24Sa pagsisimula ng pre-trial conference ng Duterte impeachment case kanina, sinubukan naming makuha ang panig ng prosecution team ukol
02:32dito.
02:32What happened in the past belongs in the past. Whoever will sit there as a presiding officer, that is an
02:40internal decision by the Senate.
02:43And we maintain our respect to our co-equal branch, that they have their independent, that they have the institutional
02:51independence to resolve internal matters.
02:54Especially in this case that it involves the issue on impeachment against the Vice President.
03:01Ang defense team naman ni Duterte, pinauubaya naman daw sa Senado ang usapin.
03:06That is something that is internal to the Senate, but tayo naman, handa naman tayong humarap.
03:12Basta na ayon sa batas at sa konstitusyon, kung sino man ang presiding officer, handa naman po tayo.
03:17Sa pre-trial conference, isinasagawa ang pagmamarka na ebidensya at pagtukoy ng mga testigong iaharap ng magkabilang panig.
03:25Dito rin maaaring maplan siya ang ilang gusot para mas maayos at mabilis ang mismong trial.
03:31Pre-trial brief kasi ang laman niyan ay yung statement of the case, proposed stipulations,
03:39ano yung sining list of witnesses ng bawat party, tapos yung mga documentary evidence na i-represent natin.
03:46So yan naman, yan yung pinag-usapan dito sa pre-trial conference.
03:50Naroon si Senate Secretary Renato Bantug na tumatayo rin clerk of the impeachment court.
03:55This pre-trial conference for case number 004-2026 in the matter of impeachment trial of Vice President Sarah Zimmerman,
04:04the third day is now called to order.
04:08Matapos magpakilala ang mga abogado na magkabilang panig, pinalabas na ang media.
04:14Nakita namang pinapasok sa kwarto ang mga nakakahong dokumento.
04:19Sa isang punto, makikitang lumipat ng kwarto sinabantug kasama ang ilang kinatawa ng prosecution at defense.
04:25Matapos magkaroon ng diskusyon ng magkabilang panig.
04:29Tumanggi namang magbigay ng payag si lead prosecutor, Batangas Rep. Jerville Luistro, sa napag-usapan.
04:36Sorry, I cannot say that I want to say anything like that.
04:39Ah, okay, okay po.
04:41Pero ayon sa tagapagsalita ng prosecution team, may naging pagtatalo sa pagitan ng magkabilang panig.
04:47Merong proposed stipulations ang both parties.
04:51Ito naman po ay inaasahan at nakalagay sa pre-trial brief at inaasahang magkakataluhan sa pre-trial conference.
05:00So, for now, despite na merong disagreements sa kung ano dapat yung proposed stipulations,
05:08pinagsubmit na lang po ng comment yung both parties.
05:13Normal naman na may, syempre may arguments ang both sides, pero hindi naman natin masasabing tension na talaga yun.
05:20It was really, you know, it's normal in any pre-trial.
05:23Hindi pa natapos ang pre-trial conference at itutuloy daw ito sa lunes.
05:27Apat yung article. May isang article po na tapos na yung marking.
05:32I don't think matatapos kami today dahil syempre sa dami ng mga dokumento.
05:36We are anticipating na babalik kami dito ng Monday.
05:40Yun na rin ang nasabi sa amin na magkakaroon pa kami ng isa pang setting ng Monday for the marking.
05:45Hopefully matapos natin ng Monday.
05:47Kung di naman, we're ready to also come back on Tuesday.
05:49Base sa impeachment calendar, sa Martes, June 30, ang issuance ng pre-trial order.
05:55June 30 hanggang July 5 naman, ang period para magkumento dyan ang prosecution at defense.
06:02July 6 ang simula ng mismong trial.
06:05Sandra Aguinaldo Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
