11 mambabatas, 15 abogado bumubuo sa Sara Duterte impeachment prosecution panel — TV Patrol

[0:00] Two people are looking for impeachment trial [0:03] to make the impeachment articles [0:06] against Vice President Sara Duterte [0:09] against the defense and the activists [0:12] in the 11th House Prosecutors [0:15] and 15th Prosecutors. [0:19] Agatha Gregorio. [0:22] In the impeachment trial, [0:25] Vice President Sara Duterte [0:27] simula lunes, 11 mambabatas ang bumubuo [0:30] at na sa 15 privadong abogado [0:32] ang uusig kay Vice President Sara Duterte [0:35] base sa apat na articles of impeachment. [0:37] Inilatag ni House Prosecutor [0:39] at Akbayan Partylist Representative Chell Diocno [0:42] ang pangunahing papel ng mga tagausig [0:44] at ng depensa sa paglilitis. [0:46] Ang prosecution kasi parang nagpapatayo ng bahay. [0:50] Ang prosecution ang may burden to establish [0:53] the basis for the charges. [0:56] Ang defense naman, [0:59] ang tungkulin nila ay i-demolish yung bahay. [1:02] Sa mga magsasabi na hindi handa ang prosecution [1:05] kaya napakarami ang kinukuha nila mga abogado, [1:09] hindi po totoo yun. [1:11] Talagang nagkakaiba lang [1:13] ang trabaho ng prosecution [1:15] sa trabaho ng defense. [1:17] Pito sa House Prosecutors ay District Representatives, [1:20] kabilang na si Rep. Jervie Luistro [1:23] ng Batangas 2nd District. [1:25] Si Luistro ang lead prosecutor [1:27] at chairperson ng House Committee on Justice [1:29] na huminay at duminig [1:31] sa mga reklamong impeachment na inihain sa Kamara. [1:33] Hindi bago ang impeachment trial [1:35] para kay Dinagad Islands Representative Kakabagaw. [1:38] Isa siya sa tagausig sa paglilitis [1:40] ni dating Chief Justice Renato Corona noong 2012. [1:44] Isa rin siya sa tatlong House Prosecutors [1:46] na taga Mindanao. [1:47] Ikalawa si bukid noon 2nd District Representative [1:50] Jonathan Keith Flores [1:51] na nag-iisang House Prosecutor [1:53] na nag-abstain ng pagbotohan ng Articles of Impeachment [1:56] bago ipinadala sa Senado. [1:58] Inamin ni Flores na may kinalaman ito [2:00] sa mga constituent niya. [2:01] That played a factor of my decision on abstaining. [2:05] But it wasn't because of the Articles of Impeachment. [2:08] I could not in good conscience [2:12] vote against the Articles of Impeachment [2:14] because I was present all along [2:16] when the Committee on Justice heard the evidence presented. [2:20] It cannot be denied that there are a lot of people in Mindanao [2:24] who are actually for the Vice President. [2:27] Ikatlong mambabatas mula Mindanao [2:29] si Cagayan de Oro 1st District Representative Lordan Suwan. [2:32] Isa siya sa 257 mambabatas [2:35] na bumoto para i-impeach [2:37] o formal nakasuhan ang visa noong Mayo. [2:40] Si Manila 3rd District Representative Joel Chua naman [2:43] ang chairperson ng House Committee on Good Government [2:45] and Public Accountability sa 19th Congress. [2:48] Pinag-usapan sa pagdinig ng Kumite [2:50] ang aligasyon ng maling paggasta sa pondo ni Duterte. [2:53] Kasama rin sa mga tagausig ng Kamara [2:55] si na San Juan Rep. Isabel Zamora [2:58] at Iloilo 3rd District Rep. Lorenz Defensor. [3:01] Bahagi rin sa House Prosecutors [3:03] ang apat na kinatawan mula sa party list groups. [3:06] Kasama rito si ML Rep. Laila de Lima [3:08] na indorso ng mga impeachment complaint laban sa BC. [3:11] It's an improved version actually if I must say [3:14] that it's an improved version noong mismo [3:19] ng mga articles of impeachment na pinadala noon [3:22] as endorsed, as signed and endorsed [3:24] by more than one-third of the members of the House. [3:28] Kilalang human rights lawyer [3:30] mula sa grupong Free Legal Assistance Group [3:32] o FLAG [3:33] si Atbayan Partylist Rep. Chel Jocno. [3:36] Naging arbitrator din siya [3:38] ng International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes. [3:41] Kasama rin uusig kay Duterte [3:43] si na One Rider Partylist Rep. Ramon Rodrigo Gutierrez [3:46] at Bicol Saro Partylist Rep. Terry Redon. [3:49] Ang bawat article of impeachment o paratang laban sa BC [3:53] ay may mga nakatalagang tagausig. [3:55] Para sa umano'y misuse of confidential funds [3:57] ng Office of the Vice President at Department of Education, [4:00] ang lead prosecutor ay si Chua. [4:02] Lead prosecutor naman para sa umano'y unexplained wealth [4:05] and undeclared assets si Redon. [4:07] Second lead prosecutor si Jocno. [4:09] Para sa Article III na umano'y bribery [4:11] sa Department of Education, [4:13] pangunahing tagausig si Flores [4:15] at second lead naman si Gutierrez. [4:17] Lead prosecutor si Defensor [4:19] habang second lead si Delima [4:20] sa pang-apat na article [4:22] kaugnay ng sinasabing grave threats. [4:24] Sa kabuo ang labing lima private prosecutors, [4:27] sa ngayon labing isa ay mula sa tatlong prominenteng law offices, [4:30] apat mula sa PECA Bar Law, [4:32] lima ang nasa Kapunan and Castillo Law Offices [4:35] at dalawa ay galing Chan Robles and Associates. [4:38] We volunteered because we want to help out [4:41] in the process of accountability ordained in the Constitution. [4:46] May ilan naman nagsilbi noon sa gobyerno, [4:49] gaya ni na Atty. Morf Worth-Fua at Atty. Lorna Capunan [4:52] na mga dating assistant presidential legal counsel. [4:55] Naging tagapagsalita naman ng Korte Suprema si Atty. Theodore Teh [4:59] habang dating court attorney si Atty. Sonia Benemerito Castillo. [5:02] Naging abogado naman ng Yumaong Public Works [5:05] under Secretary Maria Catalina Cabral si Atty. May de Vinagracia. [5:09] Kaugnay na mga aligasyong sangkot si Cabral sa flood control corruption. [5:13] Isa naman sa mga abogado sa inihain impeachment complaints [5:16] noong 2024 at 2026 si Atty. Amando Ligutan. [5:21] Posible yung mag-anunsyo pa ng dagdag na prosecutor [5:24] matapos ipakilala ng House Prosecution Panel [5:27] ang pangalawang batch ng private prosecutors. [5:30] Apat naman na tagapagsalita ng prosecution panel [5:33] si Lanao del Sur First District Representative Zia Alonto Adyong, [5:37] Kabataan Partyless Representative Rene Co, [5:39] dating Surigao del Norte Representative [5:42] at impeachment advisor Ace Barbers [5:44] at private prosecutor attorney Benjamin Tolosa Jr. [5:47] Agatha Gregorio, EBS-CBN News.
