00:35Bago pa sumalang sa pagtatanong, ang ipinlisintang witness ng prosikusyon na si retired Sandigan Bayan presiding justice Amparo Kabutahe Tang,
00:43tumutun na ang depensa sa tinawag nilang surprise witness.
01:07Nais ng prosikusyon na ipaliwanag ni Tang sa mga senator judge at sa publiko ang mga batas kaugnay sa aligasyon
01:14laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:16Sa ilalim ng Article 2 sa Articles of Impeachment o tungkol sa umunoy, hindi may paliwanag na yaman ng Vice.
01:23Pinayagan ng impeachment court ang testimonyo ni Tang, kasabay ang bilin na hindi nangangahulugang binding o dapat itong sundin ang
01:30senator judges.
01:32Pinaliwanag din ang presiding officer ang magiging sakop lamang ng pagtatanong kay Tang.
01:36So whatever answer she will give by way of opinion, should you be able to qualify her as an expert,
01:42would be generically applied to what the law says and not specifically to the respondent?
01:50Yes, sir. Your Honor.
01:51Base sa Article of Impeachment, kung pagbabasehan ang sweldo ni Vice President Duterte bilang Vice Mayor, Mayor at hanggang maging
01:58pangalawang pangulo siya, dapat ang yaman niya ay nasa 30 million pesos lang.
02:02Pero umabot sa 88.5 million pesos ang pinagsamang net worth ng bisi at kanyang asawang si Atty. Man Scarpio
02:09ayon sa prosikusyon.
02:11Sabi ni Tang, wala siyang alam tungkol sa mga detalya ng kaso laban sa bisi.
02:15Pero sa ilalim ng batas, may tuturing na nakaw na yaman kung lubhang napalaki ang pera ng isang opisyal kumpara
02:22sa ligang niyang kita.
02:23Kailan nagiging questionable sa ilalim ng batas ang yaman ng isang opisyal?
02:28During the incumbency of the public official, he acquired wealth that is grossly disproportionate to his salary, other lawful income,
02:38and income generated from his legitimately acquired property.
02:44Sabi pa ni Tang, kung hindi maipaliwanag ng opisyal kung paano niya nakuha ang mga ari-arian sa ligal na
02:50paraan, pwede itong maging basehan para matanggal siya sa pwesto.
02:53Kapag napatunayan nga na may unexplained wealth yung tao, yung opisyal, ayon sa pamantayan ng RA 1379, that will serve
03:08as a ground for removal or dismissal.
03:10Ayon kay Tang, ang burden of proof o ang dapat magpakita ng ligal na kayamanan, kargo ng opisyal.
03:16Kapag magkapag-presenta ng ebidensya naman o maipaliwanag, satisfactory din ng empleyado or opisyal, that he acquired those properties lawfully,
03:30mawawala po yung visa ng presumption na yan.
03:34Ipinaliwanag din ni Tang na higit kanino man sa iba pang opisyal sa bansa, pinagbabawalan ng Pangulo at pangalawang Pangulo
03:40na makilahok sa anumang business o negosyo.
03:43Given the fact that the president and vice president are the two highest officials of the land,
03:50ay sinasabi dun, there is the greater possibility of abuse in their office.
03:56There is a need to divest upon assumption of office immediately and within 30 days.
04:04So it is your position that if you are president and vice president, you have to divest from any and
04:10all businesses.
04:11Mas kinasari-sari, storpo yan.
04:13Yes, sir.
04:15Kinwestiyon din ng depensa kung may motibo si Tang sa pagdetestigo.
04:19Are you anti Duterte niya?
04:21No, I'm not.
04:21Alright.
04:22Do you like VP Sarah?
04:24I do not know her personally.
04:26Kakamping po ba kayo man?
04:28No?
04:28Kakamping po kayo.
04:29No, I've never been political in my life.
04:32I've always been apolitical.
04:34Were you promised anything in return in exchange for your testimony to leave?
04:39No, sir.
04:40And I will never testify if ever I was offered anything material or otherwise.
04:47My testimony is not for sales.
