00:00Natapos na po ang marking of exhibits and na-terminate na rin ang pre-trial conference.
00:08Of course, we expressed our thanks and gratitude to the impeachment court
00:14sapagkat through the intervention of the impeachment court,
00:20nakatapos kaming magparka especially with voluminous documents
00:24pertaining to the article on Unexplained Wealth and the article on Confidential Fund.
00:31You will remember that during the first PTC,
00:35we agreed that the offer of stipulation of facts will just be submitted in writing.
00:43At lahat po ng comments, counter-stipulations to the proposed stipulation of facts
00:51were already submitted as well to the impeachment court.
00:57We also inquired kung gaano ba katagal ang magiging proceedings during the trial.
01:02They pronounced that it will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
01:06So I ask kung ilang oras ba ang i-dededicate dito sa impeachment trial
01:12because that is very material for us to determine kung ilan talaga ang trial dates na kakailanganin namin.
01:19Kung mahaba ang i-google na oras sa impeachment trial,
01:23we may be able to present two witnesses per trial date.
01:27Otherwise, kung ma-except, eh baka isang witness lang per trial date.
01:32But again, that concern is likewise submitted to the impeachment court.
01:37And then we put on record our observation about the common exhibits
01:43that in spite of the willingness of the prosecution,
01:47that we share the marking in the same exhibit
01:50because after all, it is exactly the same.
01:53That's why we call it common exhibit.
01:55The defense maintained their position
01:57to put their marking on a separate set of documents.
02:01I placed on record that that position of the defense
02:06actually prolonged the process of pre-marking
02:11of the exhibits of both the defense and the prosecution.
02:15Because if you can imagine, we're talking about the same documents,
02:19pero iba ang marking, iba ang, what do you call this,
02:25comparison with respect to the prosecution
02:29at separate pa yung sa defense.
02:31So, in our estimate na five minutes per document perhaps on one party
02:37because they have to mark on exactly the same piece of document
02:43but on a separate copy.
02:45So, nagiging times two yung dedicated na time.
02:49So, that's why we also manifested again our observation about receiving inclusion
02:58of the same witnesses of the prosecution
03:01and the same exhibits of the prosecution.
03:05We understand, nasabay nag-file ng pre-trial brief,
03:09but you will remember yung evidensya ng prosecution
03:13that has been publicized as early as 19th Congress
03:16during the inquiry and aid of legislation
03:20of the Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
03:23then presided by Congressman Joel Tsuwa,
03:26na nasa tabi ko, di ba?
03:28Yun namang ibang evidensya doon was publicized
03:31during the declarificatory hearing of the Justice Committee
03:35also in line with this impeachment trial, no?
03:39So, we just registered it in the records of the impeachment court
03:43our observation that a significant number of witnesses
03:47and exhibits of the prosecution is likewise listed
03:51in the list of exhibits and witnesses of the defense.
03:57And we also registered our observation
04:00that the purpose for the presentation of their witness
04:04is very general, very vague
04:08and that is why we found our manifestation last June 22
04:12that is for the defense to specify
04:17the purpose for the presentation of their witness
04:21kasi the observation is same witness as the prosecution
04:26and that is why we find it strange
04:29while they can raise their questions during cross
04:32why do they have to present them during their direct
04:37kung kaya mo namang itanong
04:39jury cross
04:40why do you have to present them during their direct
04:44and pertaining to the
04:45to the pieces of evidence
04:48and witnesses of the prosecution
04:51but then again
04:51we would like to acknowledge that
04:54prerogative
04:58.
04:58.
04:58.
04:58.
04:58.
05:26I'll see you next time.
05:29I'll see you next time.
