00:053 Amitri Kurei, a friends of court,
00:08na nagsabi sa impeachment court
00:09na maaring mabago
00:10ang pagbabasehan ng bilang ng boto
00:13para mag-convict sa isang impeachment trial.
00:16Sila po yung mga eksperto sa batas
00:18tulad ng mga dating Chief Justice
00:19na inibidahan ang Senado
00:21para tumulong sa pag-dedesisyon nila sa issue.
00:24Nakatutok si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:294 Amitri Kurei, a friends of the court,
00:32ang kinonsulta ng Senate Impeachment Court
00:34sa mahalagang tanong
00:35paano i-cocompute ang boto
00:38para sa conviction o acquittal
00:40ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:42Sa saligang batas kasi nakalagay,
00:45kailangan ang boto ng 2 thirds
00:47ng lahat ng miyembro ng Senado
00:48para mag-convict.
00:50At kung 24 ang lahat ng Senador,
00:52labing-anim ang 2 thirds nito.
00:54Tinanong din ang mga Amitri Kurei,
00:57mga dating Chief Justice
00:59at Associate Justice ng Supreme Court,
01:01pabobotohin din ba
01:03ang mga hindi nakakadalo
01:04o dumadalo sa pagdinig?
01:07Tatlo sa apat na Amitri Kurei
01:09ang nagsabing maaring mabago
01:11ang pagbabasehan bilang ng mga Senador.
01:14Para kay Retard Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban,
01:17ang bilang na labing-anim
01:19ay hindi raw nakataga sa bato.
01:20At ang kapangyarihan baguhin ito
01:23ay nasa impeachment court mismo.
01:25You are the co-equals
01:27of the justices
01:29of the Supreme Court.
01:31So how then
01:32should the Constitution
01:33be interpreted
01:35by the honorable senators?
01:37In my humble opinion,
01:39in accordance with their mandate
01:41as representatives
01:42of the people,
01:44especially reflecting
01:45the common sense
01:47of the people
01:48guided by two
01:50fundamental standards,
01:51namely
01:53truth
01:54and
01:55fairness.
01:58Sabi naman ni Retard Chief Justice
01:59Ray Nato Puno,
02:01bukod tanging ang Senado lamang
02:03at may kapangyarihan
02:04sa impeachment.
02:05Kaya may kapangyarihan din
02:07ang mga Senador
02:08na desisyonan
02:09ang usapin kaugnay
02:11sa threshold
02:11na magiging batayan
02:13ng hatol sa bise.
02:14All these questions
02:17are to be
02:19resolved
02:20alone
02:21by
02:22the Senate
02:23Impeachment
02:24Court.
02:26I join
02:27the school of thought
02:28that
02:30espouses
02:31what is
02:33known as
02:34contextual
02:35and functional
02:37interpretation
02:39of the Constitution.
02:41Because it will give
02:42the Senators
02:43the flexibility
02:46to consider
02:47circumstances
02:49that will
02:50legally
02:51prevent
02:52a Senator
02:53from
02:54functioning
02:55as a member
02:57of the Senate.
02:58Hindi nakadalo
03:00si Retard Associate
03:01Justice Hilario Davide
03:02kaya binasa na lang
03:04ang isinumitan niyang
03:05posisyon
03:06sa issue.
03:07Clearly then,
03:08the basis of computing
03:09the two-thirds
03:10must be
03:11the number of Senators
03:12who are qualified
03:13to vote,
03:14not the 24
03:15in the present Senate.
03:16All those
03:17disqualified
03:18by reason of
03:19causes earlier
03:20mentioned
03:20should not
03:21be included.
03:22Tingin ni Davide
03:23na kasama
03:23sa bumalangkas
03:24ng umiiral
03:25na 1987
03:26Constitution,
03:28hindi intensyon
03:29ng framers
03:30ng Constitution
03:31na isama
03:32sa all members
03:33ang mga
03:34na-expel na,
03:35mga hindi nakadalo
03:36sa hearing
03:37tulad ng mga
03:37nasa ibang bansa,
03:39yung mga
03:39nagtatago
03:40para hindi
03:41ma-aresto,
03:41yung mga
03:42nahaharap
03:43sa legal impediment
03:44or restraint
03:45gaya ng
03:46nahaharap
03:47sa kasong
03:47plunder
03:48at iba pa.
03:49Pero hindi
03:49sang-ayon
03:50dito
03:51ang opinion
03:52ni Retard
03:53Associate
03:53Justice
03:54Adolfo

04:05napapatalsik

04:06opisyal
04:07na halal
04:08ng taong

04:09Kaya
04:10ang sinabi
04:10ng Saligang Batas
04:11na all
04:12members
04:12of the
04:13Senate
04:13ang ibig
04:14daw sabihin
04:15literal na
