00:44Sa kabila ng mga inilatag na pagtutol ng Depensa Pinayagan ng Senate Impeachment Court, ang hiling ng prosekusyon na ipasabina
00:53ang bank account records ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:56pati ang sa kanyang asawang si Atty. Manasa Scarpio mula 2007 hanggang 2021.
01:02Sa ukop nito pati ang mga taong hindi pa Vice President si Duterte.
01:06Ayon sa Senate Impeachment Court, pasok ang mga ito sa requirement na definiteness o natukoy kung aling mga dokumento ang
01:12kakailanganin o relevancy o koagnayan nito sa pinag-uusapang aligasyon sa ilalim ng Article 2 ng Articles of Impeachment.
01:20Dito nakapailalim ang umunoy hindi maipaliwanag na yaman ng vice. Pero mga peso account lamang na mag-asawa ang saklaw
01:27ng subpina dahil kailangan ng consent o pagpayag ng depositor para mabuksan ang mga foreign currency account.
01:33The court finds that the requested documents meet the requirements set forth above.
01:38They are reasonably described, readily identifiable, prima faci relevant, and material to the allegations under Article 2.
01:44The documents requested under the subpina do sistecom will not be used to allege additional independent impeachable offenses.
01:52The court will not allow this in adherence to the doctrine laid down in Duterte VHOR, as this will violate
01:59the respondent's right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusations against her and her rights to
02:05due process at every stage of the proceedings.
02:09Ipinunturin ni Presiding Officer Jesus Scudero na hindi saklaw ng right to privacy ang impormasyong hinihingi sa visa ng subpina.
02:16Furthermore, Rule 5, Section 22F of the DPA, Data Privacy Act Implementing Rules, expressly permits the processing of sensitive information,
02:25personal information, when provided to government or public authority pursuant to a constitutional or statutory mandate, and when necessary for
02:34the protection of lawful rights, interests, in court proceedings.
02:38Bago pa man basahin ni Escudero ang desisyon ng Korte, may inusisa siya sa abogado ni Duterte.
02:44What is the property regime governing their marriage?
02:47As far as I know, there are no property regime arrangements or prenup. That's why, Your Honor, I would assume
02:55it would be the default property regime which would be absolute community.
02:59The absolute community of property. Thank you, Counsel.
03:02Sa binasang desisyon, ipinuntong hindi maihiwalay ang bank accounts na mag-asawa tulad din na Vice President Duterte.
03:08Their financial interests are therefore statutorily intertwined for purposes of disclosure.
03:14The law is clear on the matter.
03:16The legal necessity of examining the financial records of Attorney Carpio is firmly cemented by the default property regime of
03:22absolute community of property governing his marriage to the respondent.
03:26Investigating Mr. Carpio's financial records is therefore not an unwarranted intrusion into a third party's privacy,
03:32but an absolute legal prerequisite in determining the actual aggregated wealth of the respondent.
03:38Sa hiling naman, ang prosekusyo na ipasapina ang bank accounts ng 21 kumpanya, labing siyam sa mga ito ang pinayagan
03:46ng impeachment court, dalawa ang hindi kasama.
03:48Their general information sheets do not identify the respondent or her spouse as shareholders, and the prosecution at this time
03:55failed to show either a direct business interest or a clear and convincing basis to disregard their separate juridical personalities.
04:03Pinayagan din ang korte na isapina ang mga record na umunipaglabas-masok ng pera sa bank accounts na Vice President
04:09Duterte mula sa Anti-Money Laundering Council o AMLC.
04:13Gayun din ang record ng Bureau of Internal Revenue o BIR ng mga income tax return ng BISE at kanya
04:19umunong mga negosyo.
04:20Katulad sa impeachment trial ni nooy Chief Justice Renato Corona, kakailanganin ang BIR Commissioner na humingi ng permiso mula sa
04:27Pangulo na buksan ang tax records ng BISE at kanyang asawa.
04:32Ang mga pinapasapinang dokumento ay ilan lamang sa mga ebidensya ng prosekusyon, kaugnay na umari hindi maipaliwanag na yaman ng
04:39BISE.
04:39Lampas daw ito sa kanyang legal na kita mula na maging mayor hanggang BISE Presidente na hindi niya raw idineklara
04:45ng buo sa kanyang SALEN o Statement of Assess Liabilities and Net Worth.
04:49Ayon sa korte, paunang proseso pa lamang ang paglalabas ng subpina. Hindi otomatikong magiging ebidensya na ito na huhusgahan ng
04:58Senate Impeachment Court.
04:59May pagkakataon pa ang depensa na magmosyon sila sa korte na i-exclude ng mga ebidensyang ito oras na dumating
05:06sa Article 2 ang prosekusyon.
05:08Ayon kay Atty. Michael Pawat, agapagsalitan ng depensa at sumalang sa oral arguments kaugnay sa subpina, hindi niya nakikita makakapekto
05:15ang desisyon ng Impeachment Court sa defense team ni Vice Presidente Tuterte.
05:19Naganda naman daw sila na posibleng mangyari ito dahil na rin sa impeachment trial noon ni Dating Chief Justice Corona.
05:26Hindi para utiya kung maaari silang mag-motion for reconsideration dahil wala ito sa mga panuntunan ng Impeachment Court.
05:33Merong legal remedies na pwedeng gawin tulad ng pag-ahain ng mosyon sa Korte Suprema, pero hindi paaniya ito na
05:39pag-uusapan ng defense panel at kailangan din itong isang guni sa BISE.
05:43There's always a possibility of going up, but we have not made that decision yet. This is something that we
05:49have to discuss as a team and also of course in consultation with our client, the respondent, Vice President.
05:59Ang prosecution, masaya sa tagumpay na hiningi nilang subpina. Anila malalaman na kung magkano ang yaman ng BISE.
06:06Okay lamang daw na hindi pinayagan ang pagbubukas ng foreign currency deposits ng BISE dahil mas mahalaga naman daw ang
06:12kanyang peso transactions.
06:13Tiwala rin silang bibigyan ang permiso ng Pangulo ang BIR para mabuksan ang tax records ng BISE.
06:19We certainly would hope that he would give the authority. Wala kami nakikitang dahilan para hindi ibigay ng Pangulo yung
06:26authority or your consent niya.
06:28I don't think the prosecution would be further taking issue on the matter.
06:33It's enough na grinat na nga yung subpina with respect to the peso-denominated accounts.
06:40Kasi very substantial naman yung peso-denominated transactions or peso-denominated accounts.
06:50Ina rin kailangan yung tungkol sa foreign currency.
06:53Ang Article 2 kung saan nakaugnay ang pinag-usapang sa BISE ay panghuli sa ipipresent ng Articles of Impeachment ng
06:59Prosekusyon.
07:00Sa katakdang humarap sa Impeachment Court si National Bureau of Investigation Director Atty. Melvin Matibag.
07:06Kaugnay sa Article 4 na laman ng umunipagbabanta ng BISE kina Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
07:11Ito ang unang balita, Joseph Morong, GMA News.
