00:31Paano nga ba i-compute ang boto para sa conviction ni Vice President Sara Duterte?
00:37Kinunsulta na impeachment court kauglay nito ang apat na Amici Curie o Friends of the Court
00:43na mga retaradong Chief Justice at Associate Justice ng Korte Suprema.
00:48Sa saligang batas, kailangan ng boto ng two-thirds ng lahat ng membro ng Senado para ma-convict.
00:54At kung 24 ang lahat ng Senador, labing-anim ang two-thirds nito.
00:58Sabi ng tatlo sa Amici Curie, maaaring mabago ang pagbabasihang bilang ng mga Senador.
01:05Kapwa binanggit ni na Retired Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban at Retired Chief Justice Reynato Puno
01:12ang kapangyarihan ng Senado sa impeachment, kabilang ang desisyon sa issue ng threshold sa pagboto.
01:18Article 11, Section 36, should have simply stated that the number of votes to convict is 16, period.
01:35But Article 11, Section 36, did not say so.
01:43Instead, the language used a fraction.
01:48It says two-thirds of all members of the Senate.
01:57By using two-thirds, the number of votes to convict will have to move, depending on certain factors.
02:14But more than that, your honours, a strict, stand-alone, literal interpretation of Article 11, Section 36,
02:27may result in absurdities, and may result in injustices, which will defeat the purpose of the Constitution.
02:43Reality, sometimes, your honours, changes the denominator in mathematics.
02:51In the same way, constitutional interpretation cannot always stop at abstract mathematics.
02:59We must look at the intent and the purpose of constitutional provisions, the circumstances in which they operate.
03:08Hindi nakadalo si Retard Chief Justice si Larry Davide Jr., kaya binasa na lang ang ipinadala niyang posisyon sa issue.
03:16Clearly then, the basis of computing, the two-thirds must be the number of senators who are qualified to vote,
03:23not the 24 in the present Senate.
03:25All those disqualified by reason of causes earlier mentioned should not be included.
03:30Tingin ni Davide, nakasama sa mga bumalangkas ng 1987 Constitution, hindi intensyon ng framers ng Constitution na isama sa all
03:40members
03:41ang mga na-expell na, mga hindi nakadalo sa hearing, tulad ng mga nasa ibang bansa,
03:46yung mga nagtatago para hindi maaresto, yung mga naharap sa legal impediment or restraint,
03:52gaya ng naharap sa kasong plunder at iba pa.
03:55Pero hindi sang-ayon dito si Retard Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna,
04:01na isa rin sa framers ng 1987 Constitution.
04:04Sa jaraw, pinahirap ang requirement para hindi basta napapatalsit ang isang opisyal na halal ng taong bayan.
04:12That the reference in this provision is to all members of the Senate.
04:19As long as they are members of the Senate, they constitute the denominator and computing the threshold of two-thirds.
04:30Because all means all.
04:33Tinanong din ang impeachment court, pwede bang bumoto ang isang senator judge na hindi substantial ang paglahok sa trial?
04:41Sagot ni Puno, maaaring ikonsidera ng mga senator judge ang iba pa nilang kasamahan na nakakulong.
04:48Bagamat ideal daw na nakita ng isang judge ang testimonya na isang witness,
04:54pwede rin naman daw siyang magdesisyon batay sa mga dokumento.
04:58At sa mga korte, pwede rin daw na online ang witness.
05:01Tanong naman ni Panganiban, makatotohanan at patas bang payagan ang mga absent na senador na bumoto kahit hindi naman nila
05:10narinig ang testimonya ng mga witness at hindi nakita ang kanilang kilos?
05:15Sabi ni Ascuna, internal matter ito para sa impeachment court pero sa tingin niya, pwedeng payagan ng judge na nakapanumpa.
05:22Para kay Davide, ang senador na hindi nakadalo ng kahit isang sesyo ng impeachment court ay dapat ituring na tulad
05:31ng mga nasa labas ng horisdiksyon ng Pilipinas.
05:34Bago pa magumpisa ang mismong trial nitong Julio, nagpas siya ang iniluklok na presiding officer na si Sen. Cheese Escudero
05:43na labing-anim ang kailangang boto para makonvict.
05:47Sabi ni Panganiban, maaring baguhin ni Escudero ang kanyang naging pasya.
05:51Pero tugon ni Escudero, mas mainam na pagbotohan ito ng impeachment court para malinaw.
05:57Tanong naman ni Sen. Judge Kiko Pangilinan kung gagawin ang pagbabagong ito sa kalagitnaan na ng impeachment proceedings,
06:05malalabag ba ang due process ng respondent na si Vice President Sara Duterte?
06:10Wala pa pong paglabag sapagkat hindi pa kayo bumaboto.
06:14Kung ang ginagawa po ay tinatalakay. Kung ano talaga yung meaning noong particular rule na yun,
06:29ay hindi po changing the rule yun.
06:32Ay tinatama lang yung dapat na magiging interpretasyon noong rule.
06:41I fully concur with my colleagues, Your Honor, because the question of the interpretation of the two-thirds is a
06:52procedural matter.
06:54And procedural matters can be retroactive. There is no vested right to a procedure.
07:02Nagpatanong din ang mga abogado ng Vice sa pamamagitan ni Escudero.
07:07Kung maaari palang baguhin ang bilang ng botong itinakda ng saligang batas para sa mga kritikal na usapin,
07:14kagaya ng impeachment at deklarasyon ng martial law,
07:18ano po ang garantiya na hindi ito gagamitin para siguruhin na ang isang pangulo o opisyal at kanyang mga kaalyado
07:26ay mananatili sa kapagyarihan at supili ng kanilang mga kalaban sa politika?
07:31Kaya nga po, yan po ang panganib na abusuhin ng isang pangulo.
07:39The power of who can attend, who can prevent the fellow members from attending the proceedings.
07:50Sabi ni Sen. Judge Pia Cayetano, may mga dahilan kung bakit wala sa impeachment trial ang mga kasamahan nila.
07:57We have two senators in jail. Another senator is in hiding because he was threatened na maglalabas ng ICC warrant.
08:05And then a fourth senator is on medical leave but she also was told na mafafilan siya ng plunder cases.
08:13So, I will tell you all now, am I pressured? I am. I am.
08:25I fear for my liberty.
08:27Paalala ni Puno, kailangan matiyak na walang malalabag na karapatan para hindi ito maireklama sa Korte Suprema bilang grave abuse
08:36of discretion.
08:37Sabi ni panganiban, simple lang ang batayan kung dapat bang bumoto ang isang senator-judge na hindi naman present sa
08:44trial.
08:45Ang hinahanap po ng ating bayan ay justisya mula sa Senado.
08:53I speak from the point of view of those of our people, not from the point of view of the
08:59judges.
