00:00The Court, therefore, accords to Articles 1 and 4 finality for the respondent's present term as Vice President while limiting
00:07the procedural effect of the withdrawal of Article 3 to this trial alone, provided, however, that Article 3 may not
00:15be revived in this trial until its conclusion.
00:19Number 3. Articles 1, 3, and 4 shall not be submitted for a vote or verdict by this Court anymore.
00:28As there is no longer any charge under Articles 1, 3, and 4 for adjudication in this trial, those articles
00:36shall not be submitted to the members of the Court for a vote or for a verdict of conviction or
00:41acquittal.
00:42This treatment follows the precedent established during the 2012 impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
00:49When the prosecution abandoned five articles, the defense was not required to present evidence upon them, and the withdrawn articles
00:56were not submitted to the senator judges for a vote.
00:59On March 12, 2012, acting upon the defense's motion to dismiss the prosecution's manifestation of withdrawal, the presiding officer stated,
01:10Regarding the motion of the defense to formally dismiss Articles 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8 of the Articles of
01:16Impeachment,
01:17the Impeachment Court in a caucus decided not to entertain an act on the motion to dismiss with a clear
01:24understanding, however,
01:25that no evidence from both prosecution and defense panels will be received by the Impeachment Court on Articles 1, 4,
01:325, 6, and 8.
01:33The presiding officer also then stated the corresponding consequence of that ruling.
01:39Furthermore, the members of the Impeachment Court will not render any vote on those articles,
01:46and no verdict of the Impeachment Court will be rendered on the same.
01:50Accordingly, Articles 1, 3, and 4 shall no longer form part of the Articles of Impeachment to be decided in
01:58this trial
01:58and shall not be submitted to the members of the Court for a vote or for a verdict of conviction
02:06or acquittal.
02:08And certainly, this is the court of action 뽑환 report from the MMP5018.
02:10With this, I'm going to say itكان Buhhh!
02:11Well, that tapi, we cannot begin to assume of a fitting between We is Guide for the Entry of Computer
02:184...
02:18and we're getting some são and that we have some time for this recent shot and that it's not about
