00:00Umalmah ang depensa sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte
00:04sa ilang mga ginawa ng prosekusyon.
00:07Kabilang dito ang komento ni Private Prosecutor Lorna Capunan
00:11ng pagpigil sa pagpalo at pag-lecture sa mas nakababatang abogado ng depensa.
00:18Ginawag din bad taste ang pag-post sa social media
00:21ng isa pang Private Prosecutor na ayon sa depensa
00:24ay tungkol sa sinabi ng isa nilang kasamahan.
00:27Nakatutok si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:32Dahil maituturing na opposing forces ang prosecution at defense sa impeachment trial
00:37ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:39man-to-man guarding ang ginagawa nila kapag nagtatanong sa testigo ang kabila.
00:45Pero kanina tila mas mainit ang tagpo.
00:48Ang pinanggalingan ng komentong ito ni Counsel for the Prosecution Attorney Lorna Capunan
00:54sa gitna ng pagtatanong sa testigo ni Defense Council Attorney Christine Ferrer.
01:00Not all questions can be answered by yes or no.
01:02I am on cross, Your Honor, please.
01:04I am on cross.
01:04Never mind if you are on cross.
01:06There are limits to cross-examination.
01:10Misleading questions are not allowed on cross.
01:12They are allowed.
01:13I don't think I need to lecture you that.
01:15Counselors, let's not allow the generational or seeming generational divide increase the tension in the courtroom.
01:24Let's keep it a notch lower.
01:26Your Honor, please.
01:27I am preventing myself from giving her a spanking, Your Honor.
01:32You are all members of the bar and you are all counsels for the parties.
01:37And we will be treating and looking at each one equally.
01:41Binanggit ni Presiding Officer Jesus Codero ang generational divide o malaking agwat ng edad ni Nakapunan at Ferrer.
01:50Pero ang komento ni Kapunan na pinigilan niya ang sarili sa pagpalo sa nakababatang si Ferrer, inalmahan ang defense lawyer.
01:58I would like to ask this court to not allow side comments like, I was about to spank her, I
02:05was about to lecture her.
02:07Kasi yung mga ganun ho, Your Honor, wala ho yung lugar dito sa courtroom.
02:13Because we are all lawyers here, we are all professionals.
02:16Igalang naman ho natin yung kapwa natin na lawyer.
02:19Kung halimbawa, at kagaya nito, mas matanda ho sa akin si Atty. Kapunan.
02:24Maybe she has more years of experience.
02:26She has 48 years.
02:27I have 15.
02:29We should learn to respect each other and refrain from making side comments, Your Honor.
02:34And that was captured by the media po.
02:36Atty. Kapunan, we threw that statement earlier, if I remember correctly.
02:40Yes, Your Honor.
02:41In fact, I hope it was also part of the records that I promised to be him.
02:47May isa pang inereklamo ang depensa.
02:51Ang social media post na ito ni private prosecutor Amando Ligutan habang nagaganap ang pagdinig.
02:59Sabi niya, hindi allowed ang misleading questions sa cross-examination.
03:04Walang pinatungkulan pero sa tingin ng depensa ay patungkol ito sa naonang sinabi ni Atty. Ferrer.
03:11This was posted at 11.29 a.m. by one of the private prosecutors, Atty. Amando Virgil Ligutan.
03:19I find it troubling that a private prosecutor would do this in the middle of a courtroom hearing.
03:29Nilinaw ni Atty. Sison ang tinutukoy ng kasamahang si Atty. Ferrer na pinahihintulutan ay ang leading questions, hindi ang misleading
03:38questions.
03:39Atty. Ferrer was only saying that leading questions are allowed on cross-examination.
03:46I really just find it in bad taste to do this at this time.
03:51And I think it is inappropriate to do that to a fellow member of the bar.
03:55Because even as we sit on the opposing side of this hall, we remain to be both members of the
04:03bar.
04:04And as officers of the court, we owe each other respect, you know, politeness or even kindness.
04:13Naroon si Atty. Ligutan pero sa susunod na hearing na lang daw siya pasasagutin.
04:19Nagpaliwanag naman si Ligutan sa media.
04:21With all the respect po, kung babasahin doon, I am asking you, did I mention a name?
04:29Did I mention what case?
04:32Zero. Nothing. Nada.
04:36Sa dulo, nagbabala si presiding officer Jesus Cudero sa magkabilang panig na huwag magsalita tungkol sa merits ng kaso.
04:45Napapansin daw niya kasi ang mga ibinibigay na pahayag na tila lumalabag na sa subjudice rule.
04:53One side has been crossing the line many, many times.
04:57And in fact, the presiding officer is already in the process of drafting a ruling and a warning and an
05:06order pertaining to this.
05:08Because clearly, I can even name all of you who have been commenting on social media in violation of Rule
05:1718 of the impeachment rules.
05:18Sandra Aguinaldo Nakatuto, 24 Horat.
