00:00House Prosecutor Chell Diokno was in the driver's seat as the prosecution won approval for its request to subpoena Vice
00:07President Sara Duterte's financial records.
00:09We give credit to Chell Diokno for the clarity and the sterling soundness of his arguments.
00:20Napakalinaw niya po na mag-argue, mag-point ng mga nasa batas, point ng mga nasa facts.
00:27The prosecution is in high spirits following the court order which the defense team had fought tooth and nail to
00:32prevent.
00:33It is a major victory for the search for truth, for transparency and accountability.
00:40Mamamayang Liberal Representative Laila Dilima adds the court's decision proves the prosecution did not conduct a fishing expedition.
00:47During Monday's trial, Sen. Judges Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano quizzed Diokno and defense lawyer Michael Poa on their
00:53positions.
00:54Pia Cayetano asks if evidence obtained from the House Justice Committee proceedings are valid if they were obtained improperly.
01:01She cites the case Stonehill v. Diokno, a 1967 Supreme Court ruling that said general search warrants were ruled void.
01:08Diokno is the son of then Justice Secretary Jose Pepe Diokno, a respondent in that case.
01:14He explains that the search warrant is different from a subpoena.
01:17Pag ang isang judge ay nag-issue ng search warrant, pwedeng pasukin yung opisina o yung bahay ng person involved,
01:25pwedeng halongkatin yung lahat ng mga gamit niya doon sa kanyang opisina o sa kanyang bahay.
01:29Ang pinag-uusapan natin ngayon ay sabpina.
01:33Hindi po ito license to enter an office or to search any place.
01:41Ito po ay mismong humihiling lang ng mga dokumentong nakasulat sa loob ng sabpina.
01:48Therefore, the contexts are very different.
01:51Do that's the reason I can leave now.
01:52See you next time.
01:52Hit that confronting claim on a website Then uns bombers.
01:53Do that.
