00:00Mga kapuso, sa pagtalakay po sa Article 2 o yung unexplained wealth sa impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:07binigyang diin ni retired Sandigan Bayan presiding justice ang paro Kabotahitang na bawal pong lumahok sa anumang negosyo
00:16ang Pangulo at Vice Presidente dahil sa posibleng pag-abuso sa kanilang posisyon.
00:20Bago po nito, ay canwestiyon pa ng depensa ang pagtestigo ni Kabotahitang dahil wala umano siya sa naon ng listahan
00:27ng mga testigo ng prosekusyon.
00:28Narito po ang aking unang balita.
00:34Bago pa sumalang sa pagtatanong, ang ipinrisintang witness ng prosekusyon na si retired Sandigan Bayan presiding justice ang paro Kabotahitang,
00:42tumutol na ang depensa sa tinawag nilang surprise witness.
00:46For the record, she is not listed in the pretrial order as witness and there is no reservation for a
00:53witness with her designation or background.
00:56So, for all intents and purposes, Justice Tang is a surprise witness which violates fair play and is prohibited under
01:06the rules.
01:07Nais ng prosekusyon 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 maipaliwanag na yaman ng Vice.
01:22Pinayagan ng impeachment court ang testimonya ni Tang, kasabay ang bilin na hindi nangangahulugang binding o dapat itong sundin ang
01:29Senator Judges.
01:30Pinaliwanag din ang presiding officer ang magiging sakop lamang ng pagtatanong kay Tang.
01:35So, whatever answer she will give by way of opinion, should you be able to qualify her as an expert,
01:41would be generically applied to what the law says and not specifically to the respondent?
01:49Yes, Your Honor.
01:50Base sa Article of Impeachment, kung pagbabasehan ang sweldo ni Vice President Duterte bilang Vice Mayor,
01:56Mayor at hanggang maging pangalawang Pangulo siya, dapat ang yaman niya ay nasa 30 million pesos lang.
02:01Pero umabot sa 88.5 million pesos ang pinagsamang net worth ng Vice at kanyang asawang si Atty. Manz Carpio
02:09ayon sa prosekusyon.
02:10Sabi ni Tang, wala siyang alam tungkol sa mga detalya ng kaso laban sa Vice.
02:15Pero sa ilalim ng batas, may tuturing ng nakaw na yaman kung lubhang napalaki ang pera ng isang opisyal kumpara
02:21sa legal niyang kita.
02:22Kailan nagiging kwestiyonable sa ilalim ng batas ang yaman ng isang opisyal?
02:27During the incumbency of the public official, he acquired wealth that is grossly disproportionate to his salary,
02:36other lawful income, and income generated from his legitimately acquired property.
02:43Sabi pa ni Tang, kung hindi maipaliwanag ng opisyal kung paano niya nakuha ang mga ari-arian sa legal na
02:49paraan,
02:49pwede itong maging basehan para matanggal siya sa pwesto.
02:52Kapag napatunayan nga na may unexplained wealth yung tao, yung opisyal,
03:00ayon sa pamantayan ng RA 1379, that will serve as a ground for removal or dismissal.
03:10Ayon kay Tang, ang burden of proof o ang dapat magpakita ng legal na kayamanan, kargo ng opisyal.
03:15Kapag magkapag-presenta ng ebidensya naman or maipaliwanag satisfactorily ng empleyado or opisyal that he acquired those properties lawfully,
03:29mawawala po yung visa ng presumption na yan.
03:32Ipinaliwanag din ni Tang na higit kanino man sa iba pang opisyal sa bansa,
03:36pinagbabawalan ng Pangulo at pangalawang Pangulo na makilahok sa anumang business o negosyo.
03:41Given the fact that the president and vice president are the two highest officials of the land,
03:49ay sinasabi dun, there is the greater possibility of abuse in their office.
03:54There is a need to divest upon assumption of office immediately and within 30 days.
04:02So it is your position that if you are president and vice president,
04:06you have to divest from any and all businesses.
04:10Maski na sari-sari store pa yan.
04:12Yes, sir.
04:13Kinwestiyon din ng depensa kung may motibo si Tang sa pagtetestigo.
04:18Are you anti-Duterte?
04:19No, I'm not.
04:20Alright, okay.
04:21Do you like VP Sarah?
04:23I do not know her personally.
04:25Kakamping po ba kayo, ma'am?
04:26No.
04:26Kakamping po kayo.
04:27No, I've never been political in my life.
04:30I've always been apolitical.
04:32Alright.
04:32Were you promised anything in return in exchange for your testimony?
04:36No, sir.
04:37And I will never testify if ever I was offered anything material or otherwise.
04:45My testimony is not for sale.
04:47Ito ang unang balita.
04:49Marise O'Malley, GMA News.
