00:30Ito pa man magsimula ang butuhan ng Senate Impeachment Court sa kung ilang senador ba ang pwedeng makasama sa pagbababa
00:36ng hatol kay Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:39naging emosyonal si Sen. Judge Camille Villar matapos ang naging bahayag ni Sen. Judge Irwin Tulfo.
01:00With no definite return date. Another is in hiding. Two others are under the custody of the Sandigan Bayan or
01:10the Bureau of Jail Management.
01:11Siguro, noong panahon po, noong ginagawa ang konstitusyon, ang mga kaso po ng mga senador noon,
01:20either subversion, sedisyon, hindi po plunder, hindi po pagnanakaw.
01:27And as the youngest member of this August body, can we stop it with these attacks on each other?
01:39Konting respeto naman. Kasi lahat naman po nang wala dito, hindi naman po sila napatunayan na may sala.
01:52Hindi po sila plunderer. Hindi po sila magnanakaw. Hindi po sila napatunayan na ganun.
02:01So, huwag naman tayo tumayo dyan at maglo-blow ng ganun.
02:07Ako ay humingi ng paumanhin. Ngunit, ninawin ko lamang po, ginong presiding officer, ginong Pangulong,
02:14wala po akong sinabing convicted na plunderer ang ilang kasamahan natin.
02:21Ang sinabi ko po ay charge weight.
02:25Sinubukan naman ni Sen. Judge Alan Peter Cayetano na pigilan ang butuhan.
02:29Ayon sa kanya, imbis na hindi isama ang ilan-ilang kapwa, Sen. Judge,
02:34mas maganda raw kung pagsisikapang makadalo sila kesa raw magkaroon ng mistrial.
02:39I think the Senate cannot order the Sandigan Bayan to produce the Senators here,
02:45but I think the Impeachment Court can.
02:47I think if we're going to give full constitutional,
02:51if we're going to give full meaning to our Constitution, 24 members,
02:56we can compel the Sandigan Bayan.
03:00Do we want to do that?
03:01I don't know.
03:02But what I do not want is a mistrial.
03:07Pero natalo ang kanyang mosyon.
03:09Ilang minuto bago ang pagboto,
03:11hindi na nakasuot ng robes si na Sen. Judges Bongo at Amy Marcos.
03:16Hindi na rin sila pumasok sa loob.
03:19Makikita namang nasa loob pa ng plenaryo si na Sen. Judge Alan Peter at Pia Cayetano
03:25na nakipag-usap pa kay Sen. President Sherwin Gatchalian.
03:29Pero lumabas din ang magkapatid at sinabi hindi na sila makikiisa sa butohan
03:33dahil naniniwala raw sila na hindi ang Sen. Impeachment Court
03:37ang dapat magresolba sa issue.
03:40Si Sen. Judge Robin Padilla saglit lang nanatili sa loob ng korte para isa-isang kamayan
03:46at nagmano pa sa ilang Sen. Judge mula sa mayorya.
03:50Pero umalis na rin siya na gumakyat na sa podium si Gatchalian.
03:55Nung magbabotohan na, hindi na rin nakita si Sen. Judge Camille Villar.
04:00Nang magsimula na ang butohan,
04:01All those in favor of the appeal of Sen. Judge Irwin Tulfo, say aye.
04:11Those again say nay. Nay.
04:16The ayes have it. The appeal is one.
04:21Tuluyan ang nabaliktad ng Impeachment Court ang naunang ruling ni Presiding Officer Jesus Cudero
04:27na ipako sa labing-animang boto para makapag-convict.
04:31Sa ilalim ng saligang batas,
04:33nakasada kailangan ng two-thirds ng boto ng all members of the Senate
04:37o lahat ng membro ng Senado para makapag-convict.
04:40To determine the two-thirds concurrence required for conviction
04:44under Article 11, Section 3.6 of the Senate,
04:48of the Constitution rather,
04:51the phrase,
04:52all members of the Senate, quote-unquote,
04:54shall refer to those members who, at the time of the vote,
04:58remain legally and factually capable of participating in the proceedings.
05:02Hindi na isasama ang mga Senador na hindi nakakabahagi
05:06sa paglilitis sa oras ng butohan.
05:08The computation shall exclude members who are
05:11number one, detained and or suspended
05:14or otherwise legally restrained from exercising the functions of a Senator,
05:18number two, persons sought by authorities whose whereabouts are unknown,
05:22number three, suffering from a physical or medical incapacity,
05:26number four, beyond the coercive processes of the Senate,
05:29and number five, others similarly situated.
05:33Sa ngayon, apat na Senador ang posibleng hindi makasama.
05:36Ang nagtatagong si Senador Bato de la Rosa,
05:40ang mga nakakulong na si Najinggoy Estrada at Rodante Marculeta,
05:43at ang may sakitan nasa abroad na si Senadora Loren Legarda.
05:47Labing tatlong senator judge ang bumoto pabor sa mosyon.
05:51Si Nabam Aquino, JV Ejercito, Sherwin Gatchalian, Risa Ontiveros, Panfilo Lacson, Lito Lapid,
05:58Kiko Pangilinan, Tito Soto, Erwin Tulfo, Rafi Tulfo, Joel Villanueva, Mark Villar, at Juan Miguel Zubiri.
06:07Hindi naman pumabor si presiding officer Cheez Escudero.
06:11At bilang pagtutol, hindi na lumahok sa butohan,
06:14sina Sen. Judge Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Bonggo, Amy Marcos, Robin Padilla, at Camille Villar.
06:22Kung dalawang po lamang ang mga senador na makakalawok sa butohan,
06:26ang two-third nito ay labing apat na boto ayon kay Escudero.
06:31Mas mababa kumpara sa labing anim na boto kung bibilangin ang lahat ng dalawampu't apat na senador.
06:37For example, if the denominator is 20, two-thirds is 13 and one-third, or 13.33.
06:46If we round it down to 13, 13 votes would fall short of the constitutionally required two-thirds concurrence,
06:55which is 13.33.
06:58Since a fraction of a vote is impossible, as there is no fraction of a senator,
07:0613.33 must be rounded up to 14 votes, the next higher whole number.
07:12Paglilinaw ni Escudero, ang ruling na ito ay para lamang sa trial na ito
07:17at hindi sasaklaw sa iba pang impeachment trial.
07:20Ipinunta naman ni Sen. Judge Tito Soto
07:23na kung sakaling dumating ang apat na senador na hindi makakasama bago magbaba ng hatol sa bise,
07:30dapat silang pabutohin.
07:32If Sen. Legarda arrives from abroad, she can vote.
07:39If Sen. De La Rosa decides to appear and takes his oath, he can vote.
