01:00Yung raw file po.
01:01Kasi napakahalaga po nun.
01:03Kasi dun po natin malalaman kung original ba o hindi.
01:47Pag binasan niyo po yung Rule 18 ng ating Senate impeachment rules,
01:52hindi po pinapayagan yung Senator Judges at syaka po yung ating mga House Prosecutors at yung mga Defense Councils
02:01at pati na rin po yung mga Private Councils o Council for Prosecutors na magsalita ukol po sa merito ng
02:10kaso.
02:11Hindi ko po sinasabing may paglabag si Senator Judge Robin, hindi po ako senador para mag-make ng determination kung
02:17ganon.
02:18Kasi not meet niyo steudan niyo...
02:39Kasi not last year niyo
04:15In the context of the Senate impeachment proceedings, they have a particular rule about sub-judice,
04:23say, rule 18.
04:26If you read it carefully, it prohibits the parties, the councils, and the senator judges
04:34from discussing the merits of the case publicly.
04:47For example, the merits of the case, like for example, the credibility of witness, admissibility
04:54of evidence, sufficiency of evidence, and then of course, for example, they argue for one
05:05or the other position with respect to some motions, it's hard when it comes now to anything
05:15that will determine or will be weighing in on the innocence or guilt of the respondent
05:26could be merits of the case.
05:40For example, can they talk about their thinking about ano ba yung threshold, yung procedural,
05:47ano ba yung threshold, 16 votes ba yan or two-thirds yung natitira?
05:51Walang problema yun, there's nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the respondent.
06:10But when you start saying, hindi ka panipaniwala yung sinabi ng witness kasi dapat yung
06:16original ang kailangan dyan, eh, admirits na kasi may nag-justify na about the recording.
06:22So you're not, you're supposed to avoid that.
06:25It's merit of the case already.
06:44Of course, it's very important also in any court, whether impeachment or anything,
06:49that the public perceives and believes that you are an impartial judge.
06:55So kung ikaw eh, you publicize your opinions and you argue one or the other point for,
07:03kasi makikita lang, parang umikiling ka na doon sa kabila kung yun ang sinasabi mo sa publiko,
07:09di ba?
07:09Hindi dapat ginagawa yan ng public.
07:11We would want the public to understand and to believe that the senators are doing their job
07:20impartially or at least properly.
07:24So kung obvious na yung one or the other may kinikilingan at dinidiscuss na sa publiko,
07:33isihing pang maniniwala dyan.
