00:00Ilang grupo ang naghayag ng agam-agam sa posibilidad na si Sen. Cheese Escudero
00:05ang maging presiding officer ng Impeachment Court na Lilitis kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:10Si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos naman wala raw duda sa kakayahan ni Escudero na pangunahan ng paglilitis.
00:16Saksi, si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:21Tila nakahingan ng maluwag si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos nang magdaos ang Senado
00:27ng special session nitong Merkulis.
00:30Nangambaraw ang Pangulo na patuloy na maiipit ang mga priority bill ng administrasyon
00:35kung hindi pa mag-session ang Senado.
00:38Sana naman sa paglagay ni Sen. Sherwin bilang SB,
00:46mabalik naman tayo sa normal na patakbo ng Senado.
00:51Kasama sa lumutang nausapin noong special session,
00:54ang posibilidad na si Sen. Cheese Escudero ang italagang presiding officer
01:00ng Senate Impeachment Court.
01:02Pero ilang grupo ang naghayag ng agam-agam kung si Escudero muli ang magiging presiding officer,
01:09lalo na raw sa naging asal ni Escudero sa impeachment case laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte
01:15noong isang taon, kung saan naging dahilan daw ng pagkaantala ng proseso,
01:21ang umanay baloktot niyang interpretasyon noon ng Fort Worth
01:26na sinusubukan pa namin kunin ang panig ni Escudero.
01:30Pero sabi ng Pangulo, walang duda sa kakayahan ni Escudero na pangunahan ang paglilitis.
01:36In terms of his ability to be able to run the trial, I don't think that's in doubt.
01:43I will support whoever the Senate chooses.
01:48As long as the process that they undertook in making the choice is proper, is legal, is constitutional,
01:57then that's fine with me.
01:59Kaugnay naman ang sinabi rin ni Sen. Ping Lakson na si Sen. Kiko Pangilinan
02:05ang napipisil nilang maging impeachment manager,
02:08sinabi ni Pangilinan na dati na raw yang iminungkahi at pag-uusapan parao.
02:14Sa ngayon, labing tatlo ang miyembro ng mayorya at labing isa naman ang miyembro ng minorya sa Senado.
02:20Sa ilalim ng 1987 Constitution, two-thirds ng mga miyembro ng Senado
02:26ang dapat bumuto pabor sa pag-convict sa na-impeach na opisyal.
02:31Pero isa sa mga tanong ngayon ay kung ilan talaga ang pagbabatayang kabuang bilang ng mga Senador.
02:37Ngayong suspendido si Sen. Gingoy Estrada
02:40at nagtatago naman si Sen. Bato de la Rosa sa kita ng kinakaharap na ICC warrant.
02:47Para kay Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carbio,
02:51hindi dapat isama sa pagbabatayang bilang ang mga Senador na may legal impediment.
02:57Well, it depends on how many have been disqualified by legal impediment.
03:04Isa pa lang ngayon ang bilang ko, si Gingoy.
03:08Whether you, sabi nila, you cannot vote as a Senator but as a Senator Judge,
03:12hindi naman pwede kasi to be a Senator Judge, you must be a Senator first.
03:17So, pag sinabi ng Court of Suprema, you cannot hold office.
03:22Sinabi ng Plunder Law, you shall be suspended while the case is pending in court.
03:29Hindi ka pwede mabilang because you cannot hold office, you are suspended, so you cannot vote.
03:36So, dapat niyan, Gingoy cannot, he will not be counted in determining the two-thirds.
03:44Kasi there is a legal disqualification, legal impediment.
03:50Kaugnay naman sa sitwasyon ni de la Rosa, sabi ni Carbio.
03:54Actually, hindi pa siya na-arrest.
03:56So, hindi mo masabi na he cannot vote because he is not yet in preventive detention and he is not
04:09arrested.
04:10So, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
04:13Baka sisipot yan.
04:14Isa pang tanong ay kung pwedeng ipainhibit ang isang Senator Judge,
04:19lalo't di maikakailang may mga senador na kaalyado o di kaya ay kritiko ng vice-presidente.
04:26Ayon sa isang professor ng constitutional law sa University of the Philippines,
04:31pwede itong gawin pero hindi pwedeng ipilit sa isang Senator Judge.
04:37Let me do that.
04:38Kasi sa ordinary trial naman, kung mayroong grounds to inhibit, you raise it.
04:43Pero, in the end, parang yung desisyon sa ano yan eh, doon sa judge na pinapainhibit.
04:51Ako si Sandra Aguinaldo, ang inyong saksi.
