00:00Punta naman tayo sa Sandigan Bayan, Joseph.
00:02Pareho tayong nandun kanina, although sumeg, wake up pa ng Payatas Male Dormitory.
00:07Not guilty ang naging tugon ni former House Speaker Martin Romualdez
00:11ng ma-arrange sa kasong plunder.
00:14Nga mga Kiki, yung best na ibiyahe sa Sandigan Bayan,
00:17this is the first, no, hindi naman nangyayari yun na video conferencing.
00:20Nangyayari daw yan noong COVID.
00:22Okay, so bayang online yung naging pagsasakdal sa kanya
00:25and here's what we know so far sa akin.
00:27Andito tayo ngayon sa BJMP Male Dormitory na detention facility ng BJMP
00:35kung saan nakadetene itong si dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez
00:39at katatapos-tapos lamang nung kanyang arraignment o yung pagsasakdal
00:43para dun sa 7.4 billion pesos na plunder charge
00:49laban sa kanya na isinampa ng ombudsman ngayon.
00:52Bakit tayo nandito kasi may hiling itong si Romualdez kahapon
00:56na payagan siya na magkaroon ng video conferencing ng kanyang pagsasakdal.
01:02Pinayagan niya ng court.
01:03Not guilty yung plea nitong si former Speaker Romualdez dun sa charge.
01:07Yung mga online hearings, hindi naman yan unusual, no?
01:10Pero ang pagkakaiba ay pinayagan din ng Sandigan Bayan 3rd Division particularly
01:15na makita na masaksihan ng mga media yung ginawang arraignment dun mismo sa loob ng pasilidad.
01:23Sa video nito, makikita si Romualdez na naka-wheelchair habang nasa loob ng silid
01:27kung saan isin nagawa ang video conferencing kasama niya ang kanyang mga abugado.
01:32Nakasuot si Romualdez ng dilaw na t-shirt para sa mga PDL o Person Deprived of Liberty
01:37pero pinatungan niya ito ng itim na jacket.
01:40Kasabay ng arraignment, ngayong araw din ay binasunan ng Sandigan Bayan
01:43ng motion for reconsideration para manatili sa ospital si Romualdez.
01:47So ganito yung mga PDLs, yung mga Persons Deprived of Liberty.
01:53So technically, hindi pa sila preso kasi undergoing trial pa sila
01:57kaya ang tinatawag natin saan na Persons Deprived of Liberty.
02:00So same with the situation ni Speaker Romualdez.
02:04So until the penalty of the case, until matapos the case, he is considered along with them.
