00:00Sir, part po noong reply ni VP Sara, yun daw pong ginawa niyang alleged threats against President Bongbong Marcos, etc.
00:14ay bahagi daw po ng freedom of expression. Your thoughts po on that?
00:18You know, all lawyers would agree that there's no such thing as absolute freedom. All freedom are also subject to
00:27some regulation. One cannot go around the streets accusing anybody of something without the necessary consequence of that action, either
00:38verbally or acted upon.
00:41So, the threat, as we have seen during the press con na pinatawag niya, nakita natin, direct threat yun sa
00:49Presidente, it's not actually her adherences that she'll be focused on, it's the effect of that adherence on the person
00:57that is being threatened.
01:00In sinabi niya sa Presidente, sa Unang Ginang, at saka sa former speakers.
01:07I think for someone who has that, you know, who enjoys a certain privilege, influence, and following, we should also
01:16take that into consideration.
01:20Na hindi mo po pwedeng, hindi bigyan ng seriousness itong threat.
01:27And even herself, qualified the degree of threat, actually saying these words, no?
01:35Siya mismo ang nagsabi, no joke. No joke.
01:38So, it's again, it's for the court's appreciation, that's why we have forwarded this to the Senate, so that the
01:49Senate acting as impeachment court can actually and finally settle whether our claim in our allegation that this is indeed
01:58constitute betrayal of public trust,
02:01this would constitute high crimes, would the Senate be able to at least appraise with the evidence that we will
02:10present.
02:11Now, mind you, we are confident that we have the evidence to present before the Senate.
02:16So, it's for them to convince the impeachment trial na parte ito, saklaw ito, doon sa freedom of expression,
02:26na hindi wala dapat consequences sa pagbabanta ng tao.
02:31And remember, as a public official, it is also our civic duty to involve ourselves in value formation
02:43para tayo po ay pamarisan ng mga kabataan, ng bawat Pilipino, na maganda dapat ang asal na pinapakita natin sa
02:53kanila.
02:54At the very least, behavioral-wise, I think we ought to our Filipino constituents, no, sa asambayan ng Pilipino,
03:02that as elected official, we also have to carry ourselves in the best manner that we can,
03:08and also enjoy ourselves, engage ourselves in value formation.
03:14To a very least, in the societal effect of the threats, is nagiging nanonormalize yung pagbabanta sa kapwa-tao,
03:26na hindi dapat yun nangyayari, kanino man at maski anong oras.
03:44To a very least, in the societal effect of the threats, is nagiging nanonormalize yung pagbabanta sa kapwa-tao,
03:44na hindi dapat yun nangyayari, kanino man at maski anong oras.
03:44So for example, as a public official, it is nagiging nanonormalize yung pagbabanta sa kapwa-tao,
03:45na hindi dapat yun nangyayari, kanino man at maski anong oras.
03:45To a very least, when we all know the threat is a pagbabanta sa kapwa-tao,
03:46na hindi jean tiapakita, kanino man at maski anong aukita na na hindi.
