00:00Despite na hindi po nabuksan itong BIR box,
00:03masasabi niyo pa rin po ba na pumabor sa inyo itong pre-trial?
00:09Definitely.
00:10Sa pagkat ever since, our objective is to finish expeditiously.
00:15That is why during the first PTC,
00:18madaming nire-raise yung defense,
00:20which clearly are not within the purview of the pre-trial conference.
00:27We opted not to engage.
00:29With the defense, with respect to the issues which are being raised,
00:33like the determination of two-thirds threshold,
00:36the allegation that we did not transmit all the exhibits and documents to the respondent,
00:42it was a clear position not to engage with those issues,
00:47because our objective ever since is to finish this pre-trial conference expeditiously.
00:53And that is why we would like to express our thanks to the impeachment court,
00:58because the goal was achieved.
01:00Because just today, the pre-trial conference has been terminated.
