00:00One of the main issues in the impeachment trial is the letter of authority of the BIR
00:05that is issued by the agency if they want to validate or audit the tax payer.
00:11One of the law professors is that is a law professor,
00:15which is why they have published the document.
00:18This is our report.
00:23What is the letter of authority of the BIR
00:27kina Vice President Sara Duterte at Atty. Manz Carpio?
00:31Sa pananaw ng Atty. Eve Carr Cruz Ferrer, law professor sa Atty. Law School,
00:35tila may gustong patunayan ng depensa tungkol sa testimonya ng opisyal ng BIR.
00:39Tinatry nilang ipakita na yung statement kahapon ni Atty. Lorraine
00:44na merong other income si VP Sara
00:47I think it's 1.1 ng 2024 and 1.5 ng 2025
00:53from other sources ay hindi pa final.
00:58Subject pa siya sa validation.
01:00Sa ilalim ng Section 13 Article 7 ng 1987 Constitution,
01:04hindi pwede magkaroon na ibang tabaho ang vicepresidente habang nasa pwesto.
01:09Sa pananaw ni Atty. Cruz Ferrer,
01:10mabigat itong basihan kung magpatutunayan na po si kusyon
01:13na may other source of income si Vice President Duterte.
01:17Kaya ito rin daw ang sinusubukan pa sa akin sa pagtatanong ng depensa.
01:20Sabi niyo nga po eh na may ongoing audit, hindi pa tapos yung audit.
01:24So ang ibig sabihin nito ay wala pang, hindi pa sinasabi na
01:28they are with finality or with clear conclusion
01:32na meron ngang other sources of income
01:36or kung saan galing yung ibang sources of income.
01:38Kaya nakita mo kanina, dinisclose sila kung kailan nag-start.
01:42Kung kailan yung Lowa, May of 2026
01:45and they have 180 days completed.
01:48So kaya ganun yung pagtanong ng defense kanina
01:52para ipakita na ongoing pa siya.
01:55So sinasabi mo na ba with finality based on your testimony yesterday
02:00na meron talagang income si VP Sara
02:04other than her salary as Vice President.
02:07So yun yung tinatry nilang basagi na statement yesterday from the witness.
02:13Sa pagsisimula naman ng direct examination ng prosespusyon
02:16kay financial forensic analyst,
02:17attorney Alexander Cabrera,
02:19isa sa ipinuto ng depensa
02:20ay kung paano ito nagkaroon na access
02:23sa mga confidential na dokumento
02:24kayong hindi siya ipinasipina ng korte.
02:27Pero pinayagan din talauna ng presiding officer
02:30ang pagbibigay ni attorney Cabrera ng testimonya.
02:33This particular situation or question or issue
02:37was put to the rest by the presiding officer.
02:41Ang sabi niya,
02:43kayo magpipresenta rin,
02:44I want to put on record
02:45na magpipresenta rin ang defense
02:47ng kanilang forensic financial analyst.
02:50So kung ano yung ibibigay namin
02:52na opportunity para sa prosecution,
02:56ibibigay din namin sa defense.
02:58Considered third party po ba si attorney Alexander Cabrera?
03:02Parang third party siya
03:03but during the direct by Honorable Chiel Jokno,
03:07pinapakita kaya pinanong siya eh,
03:09like on what authority are you B&E present here?
03:14Sabi niya, I was appointed by the prosecution
03:17as an expert witness
03:20and he even showed a document.
03:22Pagkatapos ni attorney Cabrera,
03:24may isa pang testigo mula sa NBI
03:25na tetestigo tungkol sa umunoy ari-arian
03:28ng vicepresidente.
03:29Posibleng ito na ang huling testigo
03:31para sa Article 2
03:32na tungkol sa hindi umunong maipaliwan
03:34at mayyaman.
03:35Nagpasya na ang prosecution
03:36na i-atras o i-withdraw
03:38ang Article 3
03:39na tungkol sa bribery.
03:40We already filed our manifestation
03:41last Tuesday pa
03:42that we will be dropping.
03:46Ang pag-atras sa Article 3
03:47wala raw kinalaman sa lakas
03:49o hina ng ebidensya.
03:50Ang amin dito is
03:51we're conscious about the timetable
03:53that the prosecution set
03:55for us to prosecute the entire
03:58articles of impeachment
04:00and kaso,
04:01hindi na siya kasya
04:04or pasok doon sa timetable
04:05that we set ourselves
04:06to ourselves also.
04:07Ayaw nating mapagod
04:09ang kaumbayan
04:11dito sa impeachment trial na ito
04:13and we are aware
04:14they've been looking forward
04:16to see the conclusion
04:17of this process.
04:18We wanted to reach that point
04:20that the Filipino people
04:22can finally rest on issues
04:24concerning this impeachment.
04:25Ayon sa Depensa,
04:26nire-respeto nila
04:27ang karapatan
04:28na poskusyon
04:29na magpasya
04:30kung paano sila
04:30magpipresenta
04:31at kung anong
04:32ang kanilang ipipresenta.
04:33Tingnan na lang po natin
04:35how the days will go
04:36so we don't want to commit
04:37kung ilang araw
04:38o kung ang babawasan
04:39or we'll stay with it
04:40pero sa ngayon
04:41we would just follow
04:42our schedule
04:43based on the initial strategy
04:45that we have.
04:46Sa schedule ng Korte,
04:48walang pagdinig siya
04:49mula October 16
04:49hanggang November 8.
04:51So, we resume
04:53after that.
04:54However,
04:55hindi pa po natin
04:56alam
04:57ano yung
04:57kung araw-araw po ba yun
04:59o three times a week.
05:01So,
05:01the presiding officer
05:02and the senate president
05:03will have to guide us
05:06once
05:06siguro by next week
05:08masasabi na nila
05:08yung mangyayari.
