00:03PANNO NGA BA ICOMPYUTE ANG BOTO PARA SA CONVICTION O AKWITAL NI VICE PRESIDENT SARA DUTERTE?
00:09KINUNSULTA NA IMPEACHMENT COURT KAOGNAY NITO
00:12ANG APAT NA AMNICHI CURE O FRIENDS OF THE COURT
00:16NA MGA RITERADONG CHIEF JUSTICE AT ASSOCIATE JUSTICE NANG KORTE SUPREMA
00:20SA SALIGANG BATAS, KILANGAN NANG BOTO NANG TWO THIRDS
00:24NANG LAHAT NANG MEMBRO NANG SENADO PARA MAKONVICT
00:27AT KUNG 24 ANLAT NANG SENADOR, LABING-ANIM ANG TWO THIRDS NITO
00:31SABIN NANG TATLO SA AMNICHI CURE, MAARING MABAGO ANG PAGBABASIHAN BILANG NANG MGA SENADOR
00:38KAPWA BINANGGIT NI NA RETIRED CHIEF JUSTICE ARTEMIO PANGANIBAN
00:42AT RETIRED CHIEF JUSTICE RAINATO PUNO
00:45ANG KAPANGYARIHAN NANG SENADO SA IMPEACHMENT
00:47KABILANG ANG DESISYON SA ISSUE NANG THRESHOLD SA PAGBOTO
00:51ARTICLE 11 SECTION 3.6 SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY STATED
00:59THAT THE NUMBER OF VOTES TO CONVICT IS 16 PERIOD
01:08BUT ARTICLE 11 SECTION 3.6 DID NOT SAY SO
01:14INSTEAD THE LANGUAGE USE A FRACTION
01:21IT SAYS TWO THIRDS OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
01:29BY USING TWO THIRDS
01:35THE NUMBER OF VOTES TO CONVICT WILL HAVE TO MOVE
01:41DEPENDING ON CERTAIN FACTORS
01:47BUT MORE THAN THAT, YOUR HONORS
01:51A STRICT STAND-ALONE LITERAL INTERPRETATION
01:56OF PARTICLE 11 SECTION 3.6 MAY RESULT IN ABSURDITIES
02:05AND MAY RESULT IN INJUSTICES
02:11WHICH WILL DEFIT THE PURPOSE OF THE CONSTITUTION
02:16REALITY SOMETIMES, YOUR HONORS,
02:20CHANGES THE DENOMINATOR IN MATHEMATICS
02:23IN THE SAME WAY, CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION
02:27CANNOT ALWAYS STOP AT ABSTRACT MATHEMATICS
02:32WE MUST LOOK AT THE INTENT
02:34AND THE PURPOSE OF CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
02:38THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THEY OPERATE
02:41HINDI NAKADALO SI RETURN CHIEF JUSTICE
02:43LARIO DAVIDE JR. KAYA BINASA NA LANG
02:46ANG IPINADALAN NYANG POSISYON SA ISSUE
02:49CLEARLY THEN, THE BASIS OF COMPUTING,
02:51THE TWO THIRDS MUST BE THE NUMBER
02:53OF SENATORS WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO VOTE,
02:56NOT THE 24 IN THE PRESENT SENATE.
02:58ALL THOSE DISQUALIFIED BY REASON OF CAUSES
03:01EARLIER MENTIONED SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED.
03:03Tingin ni Davide, nakasama sa mga bumalangkas ng 1987 Constitution,
03:08hindi intensyon ng framers ng Constitution na isama sa all members
03:14ang mga na-expell na, mga hindi nakadala sa hearing,
03:17tulad ng mga nasa ibang bansa,
03:19yung mga nagtatago para hindi maaresto,
03:22yung mga naharap sa legal impediment or restraint,
03:25gaya ng naharap sa kasong plunder at iba pa.
03:28Pero hindi sang-ayon dito,
03:30si Retard Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna,
03:33na isa rin sa framers ng 1987 Constitution.
03:37Sa jaraw, pinahirap ang requirement para hindi basta napapatalsik
03:42ang isang opisyal na halal ng taong bayan.
03:44That the reference in this provision is to all members of the Senate.
03:52As long as they are members of the Senate,
03:55they constitute the denominator and computing the threshold of two-thirds.
04:03Because all means all.
04:06Tinanong din ang impeachment court,
04:08pwede bang bumoto ang isang senator judge na hindi substantial
04:12ang paglahok sa trial?
04:14Sagot ni Puno,
04:15maaaring ikonsidera ng mga senator judge
04:18ang iba pa nilang kasamahan na nakakulong.
04:21Bagamat ideal daw na nakita ng isang judge
04:25ang testimonya na isang witness,
04:27pwede rin naman daw siyang magdesisyon
04:29batay sa mga dokumento.
04:30At sa mga korte,
04:32pwede rin daw na online ang witness.
04:34Tanong naman ni panganiban,
04:36makatotohanan at patas bang payagan
04:39ang mga absent na senador
04:41na bumoto kahit hindi naman nila narinig ang testimonya
04:45ng mga witness
04:45at hindi nakita ang kanilang kilos.
04:48You are tasked with a constitutional duty
04:51that cannot always be reduced
04:54to abstract arithmetic.
04:58Neither
05:01can such duty be performed
05:03in the shadows of absence,
05:06nor from legal impediments.
05:08I respectfully submit
05:09that only in this manner
05:11can your honours
05:13ensure a verdict
05:14that is fair to the parties,
05:16fair to your honours' peers,
05:19and ultimately,
05:21fair to our sovereign people.
05:24Sabi ni Ascuna,
05:25internal matter ito
05:27para sa impeachment court
05:28pero sa tingin niya,
05:29may ding payagan ng judge
05:31na nakapanumpa.
05:33Para kay Davide,
05:34ang senador na hindi nakadalo
05:36ng kahit isang sesyo
05:37ng impeachment court
05:38ay dapat ituring na tulad
05:40nung mga nasa
05:41labas ng horisdiksyon
05:42ng Pilipinas.
05:44Bago pa mag-umpisa
05:45ang mismong trial
05:46nitong Julio,
05:47nagpasya
05:48ang iniluklok na
05:49presiding officer
05:50na si Senador
05:51Cheez Escudero
05:52na labing-anim
05:53ang kailangan boto
05:54para makonvict.
05:56Sabi ni panganiban kanina,
05:58maaring baguhin ni Escudero
05:59ang kanyang naging pasya.
06:01Pero tugon ni Escudero,
06:03mas mainam na pagbotohan ito
06:05ng impeachment court
06:06para malinaw.
06:07Tanong naman ni Sen. Judge
06:08Kiko Pangilinan,
06:10kung gagawin
06:11ang pagbabagong ito
06:12sa kalagitnaan na
06:13ng impeachment proceedings,
06:15malalabag ba
06:15ang due process
06:16ng respondent
06:17na si Vice President
06:18Sara Duterte?
06:21Wala pa pong paglabag
06:23sapagkat hindi pa kayo
06:25bumoboto eh.
06:26In other words,
06:27it has not been implemented.
06:29You are doing this
06:32meeting so that
06:33you cannot be accused
06:34of grave abuse
06:35of discretion.
06:36Kung ang ginagawa po
06:38ay tinatalakay.
06:40Kung ano talaga yung
06:43meaning
06:47particular rule na yun,
06:51ay hindi po
06:52changing the rule yun.
06:54Ay tinatama lang yung
06:57dapat na maging
07:00interpretation
07:01ng rule.
07:03Dapat mag
07:04yung aakit sa
07:06Supreme Court
07:07mas demonstrate
07:08an injury.
07:12Paano mong i-de-demonstrate
07:14yung injury na yun?
07:17Kung wala pang
07:18final
07:20interpretation
07:21yung
07:22Senate.
07:24I fully
07:25concur with my
07:26colleagues,
07:27Your Honor,
07:28because the
07:29question
07:30of the
07:31interpretation
07:32of the
07:34two-thirds
07:34is a
07:35procedural
07:36matter.
07:38And
07:38procedural
07:39matters
07:40can be
07:40retroactive.
07:41There is
07:42no vested
07:43right
07:43to a
07:44procedure.
07:45Nagpatanong
07:46din ang mga
07:47abogado ng
07:47BICE sa
07:48pamamagitan
07:49ni Escudero.
07:50Kung maaari
07:51palang baguhin
