00:09Day one ngayon ng makasaysayang impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:14No show ang nasasakdahl bagamat hindi required ang kanyang pagharap.
00:18Mainit na pinagdebatihan ang pagluklo kay Sen. Judge Cheese Escudero bilang presiding officer.
00:24Inilatag niya ang panuntunan kung ilang boto dapat ang kailangan para makonvict ang bisik.
00:28Yan at iba pang diskusyon sa paglilitis sa report ni Joseph Moro.
00:58No one objected to that resolution and it was duly approved by the body.
01:03So any discussion regarding this resolution should be discussed when the Senate convenes as a legislative body.
01:16We did not follow our rules. So a rule that was passed that did not follow our rules or amendment
01:23that was passed that did not follow our rules is void.
01:25We looked at what the constitutional framers said. What did they say?
01:30This is the foundation of this trial na tama yung nakaupong presiding officer.
01:34The matter is pending before the Supreme Court. There is no temporary restraining order.
01:40There was a request for a status quo ante-order. It was not granted.
01:45In fact, the debate on this matter here in the impeachment court is out of order.
01:53Hanggang tumayo si Sen. Pancelo Lacson para magmosyon ng butuhan.
01:57I move to elect Senator Judge Francis Joseph Guevara Escudero as the presiding officer of this impeachment court.
02:09Objection, Mr. President, and may I allow to...
02:11We proceed, we proceed to...
02:12Objection, Mr. President, I'm allowed to object and I'm allowed to explain my objection.
02:16You are allowed to object, but we will proceed with the division of the House.
02:19Point of order, Mr. President, so those who are in favor of the motion of Sen. Lacson, please raise your
02:30hand.
02:31We will vote by raising of hands.
02:34So, those who are in favor of the motion of Sen. Lacson electing Sen. Chief Escudero as the presiding officer,
02:44please raise your hand.
02:4812 senador ang bumoto kay Escudero, hindi naman siya bumoto.
02:538 ang tutol kabilang si Cayetano.
02:55Dahil lumiinit na ang usapan sa ang daling sinuspindihan trial,
02:58kalaunan umakyat si Escudero sa tabi ni Gatchalian para pamanuan ang impeachment court.
03:03Sa kanyang opening statement, binigyan diin niya ang kahalagahan na maging patas ang paglilitis
03:08at ipinataw niya ang 16 na botong kailangan para sa hatol na guilty.
03:12The Charter provides that the Senate shall be composed of 24 Senators.
03:17Without a tinge of doubt, two-thirds of the figure or not less than 16 members.
03:23It behooves therefore all of us to observe the same fidelity with the Constitution in this trial.
03:28And should the Supreme Court render a different ruling on this question,
03:32this court and this representation shall faithfully abide by that ruling.
03:36Case number 004-2026.
03:40In the matter of impeachment trial of Vice President Sarah Zimmerman Duterte.
03:46Pasado alas 13 media, formal na nagpakilala ang mga miyembro ng prosecution at defense,
03:51sa pati ang kanika nila mga private counsel.
03:53None strikes more directly at the heart of constitutional order than this one.
03:59The prosecution will present exactly what the Constitution requires.
04:06Evidence.
04:08Hindi chismis.
04:11Hindi haka-haka.
04:13Hindi propaganda.
04:15At lalong hindi sokmed narrative.
04:18Ang tiwalang ipinagkaloob ay nilabag.
04:22Ang kapangyarihang ipinahiram ay inabuso.
04:27At ang konstitusyon mismo ang humihingi ng pananagutan.
04:32The prosecution now comes before this court to remove a vice president chosen by an overwhelming number of the electorate.
04:40The burden of proof never shifts.
04:43He who accuses must prove his allegations with evidence and unless it discharges that burden,
04:52the accused need not even offer evidence on her behalf and she will be entitled to an acquittal.
04:58Ito rin ang posisyon ng vice presidenti sa pahayag niya kaugnay sa dipagharap sa trial.
05:04Idinay niyang kahit wala siya sa impeachment court ay hindi nababawasan ng accountability
05:07o hindi nagpapahihwating ng kakulangan ng transparency.
05:10She's currently in a planning session with yung mga kasamahan niya sa OVP.
05:16Kung sa tingin naman natin na kinakailangan, they will advise her accordingly.
05:20May ilan pang tinalakay ang impeachment court.
05:23Ang Selyadong Cajon taglay ang tax records ni Duterte at kanyang mister, pinababalik sa BIR.
05:29Tinalakay rin kung ang Anti-Money Laundering Council report tungkol sa bank accounts ng vice
05:33ay bubuksan sa open court o sa executive session sa takot na malabag ang bank secrecy law.
05:38We cannot tackle and discuss it in executive session because anything and everything discussed in executive session
05:46cannot be revealed to the public and used by this court.
05:51Ang hiling ng prosekusyon ay pa sa PINA, ang halos sampung bank manager mula sa iba't ibang bangko sa Davao
05:57at Metro Manila
05:58pinagbigyan ng korte kahit tutol ang dipensa.
06:01Inayutos din ni Escudero sa Senate Secretariat na i-upload online ang lahat ng dokumento, memorandum at ebidensya sa kaso
06:08para sa transparency.
06:10Ang hiling naman ng ilang senador kung maaaring makisali sa trial ang mga naarestong sina Senador Gingoy Estrada at Rodante
06:17Marcoleta
06:18tatalakayin daw ng impeachment court sa ibang araw.
06:21Nagtatago naman ngayon si Senador Ronald de la Rosa.
06:26Joseph Morong, GMA News.
