00:05On September 23, possible vote on the Senator Judge
00:09The issue is how many votes are needed
00:11to convince Vice President Sara Duterte
00:14to the impeachment trial.
00:15They have to invite the Senado to legal experts
00:19to help the issue.
00:21Joseph Moro.
00:23Joseph Moro.
00:42And should the Supreme Court, who possesses the sole authority
00:50to interpret the Constitution,
00:52by virtue of its power of judicial review,
00:55render a different ruling on this question
00:58other than what the Chair has stated.
01:01This Court and this representation shall faithfully abide
01:04by that ruling of the Supreme Court.
01:07Ang sinabing ito ni Escudero ang inapila ngayon
01:10ni Sen. Judge Irwin Tulfo.
01:12Tila bumibilis daw kasi ang pagdinig dahil nagbabawas ng testigo
01:16ang prosecution.
01:16Ngayong araw nga wala nang iprinisintang testigo
01:20ang prosecution para sa dinidinig na Article 1.
01:22Tungkol sa confidential funds at sa susunod na linggo
01:25ay pupunta na sila sa Article 2
01:28tungkol sa hindi umano maipaliwanag na yaman
01:30ni Vice President Duterte.
01:32These developments, Mr. Presiding Officer,
01:37could bring the court to the final question
01:39sooner than expected.
01:41Sa 24 senador, nakakulong si Sen. Jingo Estrada
01:45at Sen. Rodante Marcoleta.
01:47Naka-medical leave naman si Sen. Aldorin Ligarda
01:50at nagtatago si Sen. Bato de la Rosa.
01:53Ang tanong, papayagan ba silang bumoto sa impeachment trial?
01:57Are we going to accept their votes even though they're not attending this trial?
02:03Or is it automatic we'll say that their votes will be no?
02:07Pero kwestyon ni Sen. Judge Pia Cayetano
02:10bakit binabalikan ulit ang issue
02:12gayong itinakda ng bilang na 16
02:14sa pagsisimula ng pagdinig nung Hulyo?
02:17Hindi rin daw ang Senado ang may kapangyarihan
02:20na mag-interpret na nakalagay sa konstitusyon
02:22kundi ang Korte Suprema.
02:24Your ruling, Mr. Presiding Officer, was made.
02:29And your ruling was, if there's anyone who questions it,
02:34then the recourse is to go to the Supreme Court.
02:37Do we even have a right to decide on this?
02:39Para kay Sen. Judge Robin Padilla,
02:42dapat daw ay sundin ang isinasaad ng konstitusyon.
02:46Kung gusto natin ng pagbabago sa konstitusyon,
02:48eh dumaan po tayo sa tamang proseso.
02:51Ako po ay hindi nagmamagaling dito.
02:54Ako po yung ex-convict.
02:58Isa lang po ang gusto kong malaman po ninyong lahat.
03:01Hindi po ganyang kataas ang pinag-aralan ko.
03:05Pero ipaglalabang ko ang konstitusyon na ito
03:08hanggang sa dulo ng aking buhay.
03:10Para resolvihin ang isyo,
03:12kukonsultahin ang Sen. Impeachment Court
03:14ang mga ipatatawag na Amichi Curie
03:17o Friends of the Court sa September 16.
03:20Ang Amichi Curie ay mga dalubhasa sa saligang batas
03:23at mga usaping legal.
03:25Diringin din ang posisyon ng prosekusyon
03:27at depensa sa isyo sa September 23.
03:29Ayon sa Senate Impeachment Court,
03:32pagbobotohan ng mga senador
03:33ang isyo sa September 23
03:35at ang bilang na kailangan lamang
03:37ay majority vote o mayorya
03:39ng mga senador na present sa pechang yon.
03:42Sa kabuhan,
03:4327 testigo dapat ang ihaharap
03:46ng prosekusyon para sa Article 1.
03:48Pero kanina,
03:49sinabi ni Atty. Lorna
03:50kapuna na hindi na nila pahaharapin
03:52ang natitirang 15 testigo.
03:55Sapat na ani lang
03:56na ilatag nilang ebidensya
03:58sa pamamagitan ng 12 testigo
04:00at mahigit apat na libong dokumento.
04:02So, all of these actors
04:04in the chessboard
04:06point to only one person,
04:09the Queen,
04:10the Vice President.
04:12Again, Attorney Lorna,
04:14you know where you're leading to
04:17So, even...
04:17Your Honor, this is preliminary
04:18to your question on
04:20who do we intend to present?
04:22Kindly answer the question, Counsel.
04:25And this is why
04:26all of these
04:28pawns and castles
04:29and horses
04:30and bishops
04:32point to only one person
04:33and that accountable person
04:35is the Vice President.
04:36Sa halip na magharap ng 15 testigo
04:39ang gusto ng prosekusyon,
04:40iharap mismo si Vice President
04:42Sara Duterte
04:43sa sarili niyang paglilitis.
04:45So, you're asking for a subpoena
04:47against the Vice President?
04:49Not at this time, Your Honor.
04:51Not again?
04:52So, what are we going to do, Counsel?
04:54The testimony of the Vice President
04:57will be material
04:58to all four articles
04:59and that is why
05:02at the end of all of these articles
05:05we reserve the right
05:06to present
05:08the Vice President herself.
05:10Sagot ng lead counsel ng BSE
05:12ang gustong gawin ng prosekusyon.
05:14Lalabag sa karapatan
05:15ng isang nasasakdal
05:17na hindi siya maaring
05:18piliting tumistigo
05:19laban sa kanyang sarili.
05:21There is an innate problem
05:23in that kind of request
05:26because the Constitution
05:28prohibits
05:29this kind of testimonial
05:31compulsion
05:31from the accused herself.
05:34This right
05:34is absolute.
05:36And this is not only
05:37a simple right
05:38or a statutory right,
05:40this is a fundamental right.
05:41Ito siguro yung isa
05:42sa pinakamahalagang batayan
05:46para manindigan kami
05:48sa anumang pagtatangka
05:50na pilitin ng Vice President
05:52ang respondent
05:53na magbigay ng testimonya
05:54laban sa kanyang kalooban.
05:56Matapos ito,
05:57sinimulan na ng prosecution team
05:59ang paunang pagtalakay
06:00sa Article 2
06:01o ang unexplained wealth
06:03ng BSE.
06:04Sa susunod na araw
06:05ng pagdinig
06:05sa lunes,
06:06maghaharap na rin
06:07ang mga testigo
06:08para dito
06:08ang prosecution.
06:09Ako si Joseph Morong
06:11ang inyong saksi.
