Dapat bang i-subpoena ang VP tax at bank records? Prosekusyon – ‘di confidential ang katotohanan; Depensa – labag ito sa karapatan sa due process
Sa ikaanim na araw ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte, pinagdebatihan kung dapat bang i-subpoena ng impeachment court ang mga tax at bank records ng bise at kaniyang asawa.


Giit ng Prosekusyon, kailangan ito para mailabas ang katotohanan.


Pero mariin itong tinutulan ng Depensa dahil isa raw itong “fishing expedition” na lalabag sa karapatan ng bise.


Hindi pa muna naglabas ng desisyon ang mga senator-judges dahil kailangan daw nila ng mas mahabang panahon para makapagpasiya.

00:00Sa ika-anin na araw ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:05pinagdebatihan kung dapat bang isampina ang impeachment court
00:09ang mga tax at bank record ng bisye at kanyang asawa,
00:14giit ng prosekusyon.
00:16Kailangan ito para mailabas ang katotohanan.
00:19Pero mariin itong tinutulan ng depensa dahil isa raw itong fishing expedition
00:23na lalabag sa karapatan ng bisye.
00:25Hindi pa muna naglabas ng desisyon ang mga senator judges
00:28dahil kailangan daw nila ng mas mahabang panahon para makapagpas siya.
00:32Live mula sa Senado, nakatutok si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:35Sandra!
00:40Mel, Emil, naglatag nga ng kanilang mga argumento itong depensa at prosekusyon.
00:47Kawag na nga po doon sa kahilingan na isampina ang bank at tax records
00:52ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:54Ayon po sa prosekusyon, dapat ilabas ito dahil ito ang magiging daan sa paglabas ng katotohanan.
01:02Salag naman po ng kampo ng depensa, paglabag ito sa karapatan ng bisye.
01:12Naibalik na sa Bureau of Internal Revenue o BIR,
01:15ang selyadong kaho na naglalaman ng tax records ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:21Mr. na si Attorney Manz Carpio at kanilang mga negosyo.
01:25Pero pinapasabi na ito ng prosecution panel para magamit na ebidensya sa impeachment court.
01:31Gayun din ang mga record ng transaksyon nila mula sa ilang bangko
01:35at reports ng Anti-Money Laundering Council o AMLAC.
01:39Sa pagsusulong ng prosekusyon na maipasabihin ang mga dokumento,
01:44sinabi nitong dapat mailabas ang buong katotohanan
01:46kognize sa Article 2 ng impeachment case patungkol sa anilay
01:51hindi maipaliwanag na yaman ng bisye mga ari-ariang hindi nakadeklara
01:56at pakikibahagi umano sa negosyo habang siya ay pangalawang pangulo.
02:02Bubuksan ba natin ang pinto ng katotohanan o haharangin ito?
02:07Ang hiling ng prosekusyon ay mailabas ang buong katotohanan.
02:11For this Honorable Court to determine whether VP Sara Duterte is unfit to continue in office,
02:18it must have a clear picture of the respondent as a public servant.
02:23Kailangan makita ng publiko at ng mga Senator Judge
02:27ang tunay na kulay ng Vice-Presidente
02:30at larawan ng kanyang buong pagkatao bilang isang lingkod bayan.
02:35Batay raw sa report ng Anti-Money Laundering Council,
02:39nagsimulang tumaas ng malaki ang financial activity ng bisye
02:43mula 2007 nung nanungkulan siya bilang Vice Mayor ng Davao City.
02:48Ani Diokno, mula 2007 hanggang 2013,
02:52umabot sa 3 bilyong piso ang financial activity ng bisye.
02:57Nahalal na Vice President si Duterte noong 2022.
03:01If she amassed staggering amounts of unexplained wealth
03:05while she was a Vice Mayor and Mayor,
03:08doesn't that say a lot about her unfitness to serve as a Vice President?
03:13Isn't that relevant to the question this court must resolve at the end of this trial
03:18of whether or not the Vice President betrayed the trust given to her by the people?
03:23Sabi pa ni Diokno, may kapangyarihan ng impeachment court na isabina
03:28ang mga tax at bank record, kahit ang mga umiiral na batas
03:32gaya ng Bank Secrecy Law at Data Privacy Act
03:35ay hindi hadlang sa impeachment court.
03:38Pinaalala din ang prosekusyon na minsan ang umaksyon
03:41ang impeachment court sa ganitong usapin
03:44sa kaso ni dating Chief Justice Renato Corona.
03:47Tanging ang hukumang ito, lamang ang may kapangyarihan magpa siya
03:52kung ang mga pinakamataas na pinuno ng ating bansa
03:56ay karapat dapat pa rin manungkulan.
04:00Because this power comes directly from the Constitution,
04:04no one, no person, no law, no administrative rule can limit or supersede it.
04:11Kaya naman po, ang hiling namin sa Korte,
04:15gamitin ang inyong natatanging kapangyarihan at karapatan
04:19na busisiin ang bank records, tax records at AMDA reports
04:23kaugnay ni VP Sara at ng kanyang asawa.
04:30Ang argumento naman ng abugado ng BICE na si Attorney Michael Powa
04:34kung papayag ang impeachment court sa hiling ng prosecution,
04:38malalabag ang karapatan ng BICE sa due process.
04:42Fishing expedition din anya
04:44o pagkahanap ng ebidensya ang pakay ng prosecution.
04:48When a subpina becomes oppressive,
04:52when it is unreasonable,
04:54and when it is merely issued
04:57for the very purpose that there is a hope
05:00that somewhere, somehow,
05:03something incriminating will come out,
05:06it ceases to be an instrument of justice.
05:10It becomes a weapon of a fishing expedition.
05:15And that is exactly what confronts this very court today.
05:20And that is why the defense has taken the position
05:23that the prosecution's requests must be denied.
05:27Labag-an niya sa saligang batas
05:29at ilang desisyon ng Korte Suprema
05:32ang nais ng prosecution na buksan
05:35ang mga tax at bank record
05:36na dapat ay confidential.
05:39Dagdag niya,
05:40labag din ito sa Anti-Money Laundering Act,
05:43Tax Code,
05:43Law on Secrecy of Bank Deposits,
05:45at Iba Pa.
05:46Let's look at the tax code.
05:49Section 270 of which criminalizes
05:53disclosure of taxpayers' information.
05:58Meron po bang exception sa batas na ito?
06:02Meron po,
06:04but it is limited.
06:05Kasama po bang impeachment?
06:07Hindi po.
06:09Yun nga pong mga bank account numbers
06:11na nakaspecify sa request
06:13for the issuance pa sa subpina.
06:15Ang aming posisyon po dyan,
06:17yan po ay nakalap
06:18doon sa illegal disclosure
06:20with all due respect
06:22na ginawa ng AMLAC
06:23before the Committee on Justice.
06:25Malalabag din anya
06:27ang karapatan ng Mr. Dambise
06:28na isang pribadong individual.
06:30Hindi rin daw nararapat
06:32na pati ang mga bank documents
06:34noong hindi pa siya Bise
06:35ay nais gamitin
06:36ebidensya ng prosecution.
06:39Today,
06:39the prosecution is requesting
06:42for documents
06:43spanning almost two decades,
06:46almost 20 years,
06:49dating as far back
06:50as 2007.
06:53Your Honors,
06:54it is a fact
06:55na noong 2007,
06:57ang respondent
06:59ay Vice Mayor pa lamang.
07:01Definitely
07:02not an impeachable office,
07:05Your Honors.
07:06How is that relevant?
07:09It is the position
07:10of the defense
07:11that it is not.
07:12In fact,
07:13what that is,
07:14is an unlimited search
07:16throughout a person's
07:18financial history.
07:20Matapos ilatag
07:22ang kanilang mga argumento,
07:23nagkaroon din ang pagkakataon
07:25ang magkabilang panig na sagutin
07:27ang punto ng isa't isa
07:29sa pag-asang makuminsi
07:31ang mga Senator Judge.
07:34Confidentiality,
07:35Your Honor,
07:37should not be
07:38the prevailing principle
07:39in this proceeding.
07:43Hindi po confidential
07:44ang katotohanan.
07:46We do not disagree
07:47with the prosecution
07:48in terms of accountability.
07:50Again,
07:51no one is above the law,
07:53but no one
07:54should also be deprived
07:56of the protection
07:57given by law.
07:59Pagkatapos ng isang oras
