[0:06] To the House of Representatives, your safety is our top priority.
[0:58] Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our emergency exit plan.
[1:04] First, remember that illuminated exit signs will always show you the way.
[1:10] Please remain calm and follow these signs in an orderly manner.
[1:15] Now, for your specific location, if you are on the plenary floor, exits are at both ends, leading to the north and south wing lobbies.
[1:29] You may also use the main entrance glass doors, which open toward the flagpole area.
[1:38] If you are in the middle gallery, your primary exit is through the main entrance glass doors, located near the flagpole area.
[1:47] If you are in the second or third floor galleries, in addition to the main door on your level, emergency exits are located at the ends of the seat rows on both the east and west sides.
[2:05] All these exits will lead you to the main hallway stairways, going down to the main entrance, and out to the flagpole area.
[2:16] Quick Guide
[2:17] If you are on the south side of the gallery, turn right as you go through the emergency exit.
[2:23] If you are on the north side, turn left.
[2:28] Both will lead you towards the main hallway stairways.
[2:31] If you are seated at the rostrum, your nearest exits are on the north and south sides, leading directly to the rear entrance lobby and out to the helipad area.
[2:47] Finally, if you are unable to leave the plenary hall, do not panic.
[2:51] Essential safety items, a hard hat, whistle, bottled water, and flashlight are readily available under your table for your immediate use.
[3:04] Thank you for your attention.
[3:07] Your safety is our shared responsibility.
[3:10] The session is called to order.
[6:09] Please rise for the singing of the national anthem.
[6:19] Please remain standing for the invocation to be delivered by Representative Sarah Jane Ilago of Gabriela Party List.
[7:29] We join today across diverse faiths in prayer for guidance, reflection, and hope.
[7:42] As this chamber convenes, we pray that the deliberations undertaken here be guided first and foremost by a profound sense of accountability to the people.
[7:56] We pray for transparency in every process, that the light of public scrutiny may shine upon all our actions, ensuring that power is exercised for the common good of the people.
[8:10] We pray for a steadfast commitment to justice.
[8:13] May the laws and policies shaped in this hall be instruments for the protection of human rights, for the right to a life free from hunger, for the right to peaceful assembly and expression, for the right to seek truth and redress.
[8:31] May the voices of the most affected, the farmers and fisher folks struggling against high-cost fuel, the workers seeking secure jobs and living wages, the families toiling for every meal, be heard as the central concern of legislation.
[8:47] Finally, we pray that this session be our collective call to address the urgent needs of our time, and may our work today and every day be genuine steps towards relief, prosperity, and a more just future for all.
[9:04] Let this be our common prayer from all faiths and convictions, for the good of our nation and its people. Amen.

[34:38] Majority Leader.
[34:41] Mr. Speaker, in relation to the distribution of Committee Report number 261,
[34:46] on House Resolution number 989, entitled,
[34:49] a resolution setting forth the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte,
[34:55] we have been informed by the Secretary General that,
[34:59] in addition to the electronic and printed copies of the said Committee report
[35:04] earlier distributed to all members,
[35:07] USB storage devices containing the electronic copies thereof
[35:11] were also made available to all members.
[35:15] Manifestation of Majority Leader is duly noted.
[35:19] Mr. Speaker, likewise,
[35:21] we have been informed by the Secretary General
[35:23] that the electronic copies of Committee Report number 261,
[35:28] together with the attached House Resolution number 989,
[35:31] and all annexes were sent to the complainants,
[35:35] respondent, and councils through their email addresses.
[35:41] Manifestation of Majority Leader is duly noted.
[35:44] Mr. Speaker, before we proceed,
[35:46] may I request that the gentleman from Davao City,
[35:49] the Honorable Isidro Ungab,
[35:51] be recognized for a parliamentary inquiry.
[35:56] Honorable Representative Isidro Ungab,
[35:59] 3rd District of City of Davao,
[36:01] is he by recognized?
[36:02] Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
[36:05] Mr. Speaker, I rise on a parliamentary inquiry.
[36:10] Before this chamber proceeds to consider the Committee Report,
[36:15] the accompanying resolution,
[36:18] and the articles of impeachment,
[36:21] I respectfully seek clarification from the Chair
[36:23] on the proceedings that shall govern our deliberations this afternoon.
[36:29] First, will the Chair allow period of interpellation on the Committee Report,
[36:37] the resolution,
[36:39] and the articles of impeachment before any motion for their approval is entered?
[36:46] This inquiry,
[36:47] I inquiry,
[36:49] I raise, Mr. Speaker,
[36:51] is because members of this chamber,
[36:55] who do not sit as members in the Justice Committee,
[36:59] and who therefore have no opportunity to propound questions,
[37:05] examine witnesses,
[37:06] or test the evidence during the Committee proceedings,
[37:10] must be afforded a meaningful opportunity to do so now,
[37:16] on the floor of this plenary,
[37:18] because we are called upon to cast a vote of such grave constitutional consequence.
[37:25] Second,
[37:27] if interpellation shall be allowed,
[37:31] may the Chair clarify the pattern,
[37:34] the manner,
[37:35] and the time allocation that shall govern it,
[37:38] consistent with the rules of procedure of the House,
[37:42] and the rules governing the conduct of plenary sessions.
[37:46] Specifically,
[37:48] who among the members of the Committee
[37:50] shall be designated to defend,
[37:53] and respond to the interpellation on the report,
[37:56] the resolution,
[37:57] and the articles,
[38:00] will interpellation be conducted on each instrument separately,
[38:06] the report,
[38:07] the resolution,
[38:08] and the articles of impeachment,
[38:10] or jointly?
[38:13] What shall be the time allotment per interpellator?
[38:18] And shall there be a right of rejoinder,
[38:21] or maybe a second round of interpellation?
[38:26] Mr. Speaker,
[38:28] the necessity of this inquiry is very important.
[38:31] We are not voting on an ordinary legislation.
[38:37] We are being asked to exercise one of the most solemn powers
[38:41] vested by the Constitution in this House,
[38:46] the power to impeach.
[38:49] The gravity of the power demands that every member,
[38:53] whether or not affiliated with the Committee,
[38:57] be given full opportunity to be informed,
[39:01] to inquire,
[39:01] and to be heard before casting their vote.
[39:06] To proceed otherwise,
[39:09] to vote on the Committee report,
[39:11] the resolution,
[39:12] and the articles without interpellation,
[39:16] would not only deprive the non-committee members of this chamber
[39:19] of their right to participate meaningfully
[39:21] in this constitutional process,
[39:24] it would also expose the proceedings themselves
[39:27] to legitimate questions of due process,
[39:30] both within this institution
[39:33] and before the bar of public opinion,
[39:35] and ultimately before the Senate,
[39:39] sitting as an impeachment court.
[39:42] I therefore respectfully request
[39:44] that the Chair rule on this matter
[39:47] before we proceed.
[39:49] That is my parliamentary inquiry,
[39:51] Mr. Speaker.
[39:52] Thank you.
[39:54] Majority Leader.
[39:54] Mr. Speaker,
[39:58] we are exercising
[39:59] our constitutional duty
[40:02] of the highest order
[40:05] under our Constitution.
[40:08] And in response
[40:08] to the parliamentary inquiry
[40:10] of the Honorable Ungab,
[40:12] yes,
[40:13] there will be interpellations
[40:14] and manifestations
[40:15] will be allowed
[40:16] from the members
[40:17] of the minority
[40:18] and the majority
[40:19] and the independents.
[40:22] Like
[40:22] what the Honorable Ungab said,
[40:25] we are not passing
[40:26] an ordinary legislation.
[40:27] Our rules that govern
[40:29] today's proceedings
[40:30] are found
[40:31] under Sections 11, 12, and 13
[40:34] of the House Rules on Impeachment.
[40:36] However,
[40:37] we have made sure
[40:38] that members will be afforded
[40:40] their due time
[40:41] and their due process
[40:42] in order
[40:44] to ask questions
[40:45] and give their manifestations.
[40:48] The Chair
[40:48] or the Presiding Officer
[40:50] will later on
[40:51] lay down
[40:52] the grounds
[40:53] for interpellations
[40:55] and as well as
[40:56] the manner
[40:57] by which
[40:58] the members
[40:59] can interpolate
[41:00] as well as
[41:00] the period
[41:01] of interpellation.
[41:03] Mr. Presiding Officer,
[41:04] that may also be clear
[41:05] that we will
[41:06] deliberate jointly
[41:08] the committee report
[41:09] as well as
[41:10] the articles
[41:11] of impeachment
[41:12] for today's deliberations.
[41:14] I hope
[41:14] that the same
[41:15] has been clarified
[41:16] and my request
[41:17] that the
[41:19] parliamentary inquiry
[41:20] of the Honorable Ungab
[41:22] as well as
[41:23] the response
[41:23] there to
[41:24] be duly noted
[41:25] in the journal
[41:25] of today's session.
[41:26] Noted.
[41:30] Majority Leader.
[41:37] Mr. Speaker,
[41:38] pursuant
[41:39] to Article 11,
[41:40] Section 2
[41:41] of the Philippine Constitution,
[41:43] I move
[41:43] that we consider
[41:44] Committee Report
[41:45] No. 261
[41:46] submitted
[41:47] by the Committee
[41:47] on Justice
[41:48] on House Resolution
[41:49] No. 989
[41:51] and for this purpose
[41:52] may I request
[41:53] that the Secretary General
[41:54] be directed
[41:55] to read the title
[41:56] of the resolution.
[41:57] The Secretary General
[41:59] is directed
[42:00] to read the title
[42:01] of the resolution.
[42:04] Honorable Members,
[42:05] Okay, read the title
[42:11] first.
[42:12] House Resolution
[42:13] No. 989
[42:15] Resolution
[42:16] Setting Forth
[42:17] the Articles
[42:17] of Impeachment
[42:18] Against Vice
[42:19] President
[42:20] Sara Z.
[42:21] Duterte
[42:21] The Honorable Members
[42:26] of the House
[42:27] of Representatives,
[42:29] Distinguished Guests,
[42:30] Members of the Media,
[42:32] the Visitors
[42:33] in the Galleries,
[42:35] the Presiding Officer
[42:36] reminds everyone present
[42:39] that these proceedings
[42:41] are being conducted
[42:42] pursuant
[42:43] to the solemn
[42:44] constitutional mandate
[42:46] and duty vested
[42:49] upon the House
[42:49] of Representatives
[42:50] and its members
[42:52] under the Constitution.
[42:55] This is also
[42:56] in consonance
[42:57] with the due process
[42:59] of law
[42:59] enshrined
[43:01] in our Constitution
[43:02] and pronounced
[43:04] by the Supreme Court.
[43:07] Accordingly,
[43:09] all persons
[43:10] within the plenary hall
[43:11] and the galleries
[43:13] are enjoined
[43:14] to observe
[43:16] proper parliamentary decorum
[43:18] and orderly conduct
[43:20] at all times.
[43:23] Members
[43:23] who seek recognition
[43:25] to speak,
[43:26] interpolate,
[43:27] or make manifestations
[43:28] shall be accorded
[43:33] a minimum period
[43:34] of three minutes
[43:35] for each
[43:36] non-assignable.
[43:39] The use of offensive,
[43:40] disrespectful,
[43:42] or unparliamentary
[43:43] language,
[43:44] as well as
[43:45] any disorderly conduct
[43:46] that may disrupt
[43:48] the proceeding
[43:49] shall not be permitted.
[43:52] All manifestations,
[43:54] remarks,
[43:56] interpolations,
[43:57] interventions
[43:57] must be strictly
[43:59] germane
[44:01] to the resolution
[44:02] presently
[44:03] under consideration.
[44:05] Members
[44:06] are likewise
[44:07] reminded
[44:07] to address
[44:08] their remarks
[44:09] through the
[44:11] presiding officer
[44:12] and to observe
[44:13] the standards
[44:14] of parliamentary
[44:14] courtesy
[44:15] and conduct.
[44:18] The presiding officer
[44:19] further reminds
[44:20] all present
[44:23] that demonstrations
[44:24] of approval
[44:25] or disapproval
[44:27] including
[44:29] clapping,
[44:31] cheering,
[44:33] shouting,
[44:34] booing,
[44:36] displaying,
[44:38] placards,
[44:39] or similar acts
[44:40] shall not be allowed
[44:42] within the session hall
[44:43] and galleries.
[44:46] Silence,
[44:47] order,
[44:48] and the quorum
[44:49] must be maintained
[44:51] at all times
[44:52] while the proceedings
[44:54] are ongoing.
[44:56] The presiding officer
[44:57] requests
[44:57] the cooperation
[44:59] of everyone
[45:00] in maintaining
[45:01] the solemn
[45:03] dignity
[45:04] and integrity
[45:05] of these proceedings.
[45:07] Thank you.
[45:09] Majority Leader.
[45:10] Mr. Speaker,
[45:11] I move to recognize
[45:12] the Chair of the
[45:14] Committee on Justice,

[45:27] Loistro,

[45:29] Batangas
[45:30] is hereby
[45:30] recognized.
[45:35] Mr. Speaker,
[45:39] my distinguished
[45:39] colleagues,
[45:42] magandang hapon po.
[45:46] I rise today
[45:47] not in triumph
[45:50] nor in anger
[45:54] nor in pursuit
[45:57] of political
[45:58] advantage.
[45:59] I rise
[46:03] because the
[46:04] Constitution
[46:05] commands us
[46:07] to rise.
[46:11] I stand
[46:12] before this
[46:13] chamber
[46:13] carrying
[46:16] not privilege
[46:17] but duty.
[46:21] Isang
[46:21] mabigat
[46:22] na tungkulin
[46:23] na ipinagkatiwala
[46:26] sa atin
[46:27] ng saligang
[46:29] batas
[46:30] at ng
[46:32] sambayanang
[46:33] Pilipino.
[46:36] Sa mga
[46:37] pagkakataong
[46:38] gaya nito,
[46:41] sinusubok
[46:42] hindi lamang
[46:44] ang isang
[46:45] opisyal,
[46:46] kundi ang
[46:49] tibay
[46:49] ng ating
[46:50] mga
[46:51] institusyon,
[46:54] ang katapatan
[46:55] natin
[46:56] sa batas
[46:57] at ang
[46:59] ating
[47:00] kakayanan
[47:00] na unahin
[47:03] ang bayan
[47:03] kaysa sa
[47:05] politika.
[47:06] On behalf
[47:09] of the
[47:10] Committee on
[47:10] Justice
[47:11] and in
[47:14] faithful
[47:14] compliance
[47:15] with our
[47:16] constitutional
[47:17] mandate,
[47:18] I rise
[47:20] to sponsor
[47:21] Committee
[47:23] Report
[47:23] No.
[47:24] 261
[47:25] together
[47:27] with
[47:27] House
[47:28] Resolution
[47:29] No.
[47:30] 989
[47:31] Setting
[47:33] forth
[47:33] the
[47:34] Articles
[47:34] of
[47:35] Impeachment
[47:35] against
[47:37] the
[47:37] Vice
[47:38] President
[47:38] of
[47:39] the
[47:39] Republic.
[47:40] Mr.
[47:43] Speaker,
[47:46] simple
[47:46] lamang
[47:47] ang
[47:47] hinihingi
[47:48] ng pagkakataong
[47:49] ito
[47:49] sa atin.
[47:52] Sundin
[47:53] natin
[47:53] ang
[47:54] konstitusyon.
[47:57] Nothing
[47:57] more,
[47:59] nothing
[47:59] less.
[48:01] Hindi
[48:02] po kami
[48:02] narito
[48:03] upang
[48:04] humatul
[48:05] ng
[48:05] pagkakasala.
[48:08] Hindi
[48:08] rin
[48:09] kami
[48:09] narito
[48:10] upang
[48:11] magparusa.
[48:13] Ang
[48:14] tanong
[48:14] lamang
[48:15] na
[48:15] nasa
[48:16] harap
[48:16] natin
[48:17] ngayon,
[48:19] may
[48:19] sapat
[48:20] bang
[48:20] dahilan
[48:21] upang
[48:22] ipagpatuloy
[48:23] ang
[48:24] paglilitis
[48:24] sa
[48:25] Senado?
[48:27] Iyan
[48:28] lamang
[48:28] po
[48:28] ang
[48:29] tanong.
[48:31] At
[48:32] iyan
[48:32] ng
[48:32] sagradong
[48:33] tungkulin
[48:34] na
[48:35] ipinapasa
[48:36] ngayon
[48:36] ng
[48:37] Committee
[48:38] on
[48:38] Justice
[48:38] sa
[48:39] buong
[48:39] kapulungan.
[48:42] Hawak
[48:42] po
[48:42] natin
[48:43] ngayon
[48:43] ang
[48:45] bunga
[48:45] ng
[48:45] mahabang
[48:46] proseso.
[48:48] Hindi
[48:49] ito
[48:49] nabuo
[48:49] sa
[48:50] isang
[48:50] gabi.
[48:52] Hindi
[48:52] ito
[48:53] produkto
[48:53] ng
[48:53] tsismis,
[48:55] galit,
[48:56] o sigaw
[48:57] sa
[48:57] social
[48:58] media.
[49:00] Committee
[49:00] report,
[49:01] 52
[49:02] pages.
[49:04] House
[49:04] resolution,
[49:06] 18
[49:06] pages.
[49:08] Articles
[49:09] of
[49:09] impeachment,
[49:10] 23
[49:11] pages.
[49:13] At
[49:13] lampas
[49:14] pa
[49:14] rito,
[49:16] ay
[49:16] libu-libong
[49:17] pahina
[49:18] ng
[49:18] annexes.
[49:19] Records,
[49:21] certifications,
[49:23] testimonya,
[49:25] financial
[49:26] documents,
[49:27] at
[49:27] deliberations
[49:28] na
[49:29] masusing
[49:30] pinag-aralan
[49:31] ng
[49:31] Committee
[49:32] on
[49:32] Justice.
[49:36] Bawat
[49:36] pahina
[49:37] ay may
[49:37] bigat,
[49:39] bawat
[49:40] dokumento
[49:41] ay may
[49:41] implikasyon,
[49:44] bawat
[49:44] testimonya
[49:45] ay may
[49:46] kaakibat
[49:46] na
[49:47] pananagutan.
[49:49] Nagawa na po
[49:50] ng
[49:51] Committee
[49:51] on
[49:51] Justice
[49:52] ang
[49:52] bahagi
[49:52] nito.
[49:53] We
[49:55] examined
[49:56] the
[49:56] evidence,
[49:58] we
[49:58] tested
[49:58] the
[49:59] arguments,
[50:01] we
[50:01] listened
[50:01] to
[50:02] every
[50:02] side,
[50:03] we
[50:03] placed
[50:04] everything
[50:05] on
[50:05] record.
[50:07] At
[50:08] ngayon,
[50:09] ang
[50:09] desisyon
[50:10] ay
[50:11] nasa
[50:12] kamay
[50:12] na
[50:12] ng
[50:13] buong
[50:13] House
[50:14] of
[50:14] Representatives.
[50:16] Tayo
[50:18] ngayon
[50:19] ang
[50:19] haharap
[50:20] sa
[50:20] sambayan
[50:20] ng
[50:21] Pilipino
[50:21] upang
[50:23] sagutin
[50:24] ang
[50:24] isang
[50:25] simpleng
[50:25] tanong.
[50:26] Kapag
[50:28] may
[50:29] mabigat
[50:29] na
[50:29] aligasyon
[50:30] laban
[50:32] sa
[50:32] isa
[50:32] sa
[50:33] pinakamataas
[50:34] na
[50:34] opisyal
[50:34] ng
[50:35] Republika,
[50:36] ano
[50:37] ang
[50:37] dapat
[50:37] gawin
[50:38] ng
[50:39] House
[50:39] of
[50:39] Representatives?
[50:42] Tumingin
[50:42] sa
[50:43] kabila,
[50:45] manahimik,
[50:47] o sundin
[50:48] ang
[50:48] konstitusyon?
[50:50] Nitong
[50:51] mga
[50:51] nakaraang
[50:52] araw,
[50:53] paulit-ulit
[50:54] nating
[50:54] narinig
[50:55] ang isang
[50:56] tanong.
[50:57] May
[50:58] numero
[50:58] ba
[50:58] tayo?
[51:00] Ilan
[51:01] daw
[51:01] ang
[51:01] boboto?
[51:03] Kaya
[51:03] ba
[51:04] ang
[51:04] one-third
[51:04] vote?
[51:05] May
[51:06] umatras
[51:07] na
[51:07] raw?
[51:09] May
[51:09] nag-withdraw
[51:10] na
[51:10] raw?
[51:11] Wala
[51:12] pang
[51:12] ang
[51:12] butohan?
[51:14] May
[51:14] bilang
[51:14] na
[51:14] agad
[51:15] ng
[51:15] mga
[51:15] sumusuko?
[51:18] Pero,
[51:19] Mr. Speaker,
[51:20] distinguished
[51:21] colleagues,
[51:23] iyan ba
[51:23] talaga
[51:24] ang
[51:24] pinakamahalagang
[51:26] tanong
[51:26] ngayon?
[51:28] Because if we
[51:29] remember,
[51:31] we already
[51:32] went through
[51:32] this process
[51:33] before.
[51:35] Noong
[51:36] nakaraang
[51:36] impeachment
[51:37] proceedings,
[51:39] mayroon
[51:39] ng sapat
[51:40] na numero.
[51:41] dalawandaan
[51:43] at labing
[51:44] limang
[51:45] kasapi
[51:45] ng kapulungang
[51:46] ito
[51:47] ang bumoto
[51:48] upang
[51:49] isulong
[51:50] ang impeachment.
[51:52] Isa
[51:52] iyon
[51:53] sa
[51:54] pinakamalaking
[51:55] bilang
[51:55] sa kasaysayan
[51:57] ng ating
[51:58] Kongreso.
[52:00] Pero ano
[52:01] ang
[52:01] nangyari?
[52:04] Tinigil
[52:04] ng
[52:05] Korte
[52:05] Suprema
[52:06] at
[52:07] mahalagang
[52:08] linawin
[52:09] kung ano
[52:10] ang tunay
[52:11] na sinabi
[52:12] ng
[52:12] Korte
[52:13] Suprema.
[52:13] Hindi
[52:16] nila
[52:16] sinabi
[52:17] na wala
[52:17] nang
[52:18] dapat
[52:18] sagutin.
[52:21] Hindi
[52:21] nila
[52:21] sinabi
[52:22] na walang
[52:23] kailangang
[52:24] ipaliwanag.
[52:26] Hindi
[52:26] nila
[52:27] sinabi
[52:27] na bawal
[52:28] nang
[52:28] magkaroon
[52:29] muli
[52:30] ng
[52:30] impeachment
[52:31] proceedings.
[52:33] Ang
[52:33] sinabi
[52:34] ng
[52:34] Korte
[52:35] Suprema
[52:35] ay ito.
[52:37] Kung
[52:38] gagawin
[52:38] natin
[52:39] ito,
[52:40] gawin
[52:40] natin
[52:41] ang
[52:41] tama,
[52:43] sundin
[52:43] natin
[52:43] ang
[52:44] proseso,
[52:45] sundin
[52:46] natin
[52:46] ang
[52:46] konstitusyon.
[52:47] At iyan
[52:49] po
[52:49] ang
[52:50] ginawa
[52:51] ng
[52:51] Committee
[52:51] on
[52:52] Justice.
[52:54] Kaya
[52:54] ang
[52:54] tunay
[52:55] na
[52:55] tanong
[52:55] ngayon
[52:57] ay hindi
[52:58] lamang
[52:59] kung may
[52:59] numero
[52:59] tayo.
[53:01] Ang
[53:01] mas
[53:02] mahalagang
[53:02] tanong,
[53:04] sinunod
[53:04] ba
[53:04] natin
[53:05] ang
[53:05] proseso?
[53:07] At
[53:07] higit
[53:07] sa
[53:08] lahat,
[53:09] mayroon
[53:09] ba
[53:09] tayong
[53:10] ebidensya?
[53:13] Mr.
[53:13] Speaker,
[53:14] Distinguished
[53:15] Colleagues,
[53:16] proseso
[53:17] at
[53:18] ebidensya,
[53:20] iyan
[53:20] ang
[53:21] pundasyon
[53:21] ng
[53:22] bawat
[53:23] makatarungang
[53:24] lipunan.
[53:24] At
[53:26] ang
[53:26] sagot
[53:26] po
[53:26] natin
[53:27] ay
[53:28] isang
[53:28] malinaw
[53:29] at
[53:29] matatag
[53:29] na
[53:30] opo
[53:31] sa
[53:33] proseso.
[53:35] Naging
[53:35] maingat
[53:36] tayo.
[53:38] Hindi
[53:38] tayo
[53:38] nagmadali.
[53:40] Sinunod
[53:41] natin
[53:41] ang
[53:41] one-year
[53:42] bar
[53:42] rule.
[53:43] Pinigyan
[53:44] natin
[53:44] ang
[53:44] pagkakataon
[53:45] ng
[53:45] bawat
[53:46] panig.
[53:47] Ang
[53:48] mga
[53:48] pagdinig
[53:49] ay
[53:49] isinagawa
[53:50] ng
[53:50] hayagan,
[53:52] naka
[53:52] livestream
[53:53] at
[53:54] bukas
[53:54] sa
[53:55] taong
[53:55] bayan.
[53:57] At
[53:57] higit
[53:57] sa
[53:57] lahat,
[53:59] pinakinggan
[53:59] natin
[54:00] maging
[54:01] ang
[54:01] mga
[54:02] tumututol
[54:03] sa
[54:03] impeachment,
[54:05] pinakinggan
[54:05] natin
[54:06] ang
[54:06] bawat
[54:06] manifestation,
[54:08] bawat
[54:09] argumento,
[54:10] bawat
[54:11] legal
[54:11] na
[54:12] punto.
[54:12] Hindi
[54:14] tayo
[54:15] naghanap
[54:15] ng
[54:15] shortcut,
[54:17] naghanap
[54:18] tayo
[54:18] ng
[54:19] katotohanan.
[54:22] At
[54:22] maging
[54:22] malinaw
[54:23] po tayo,
[54:24] ang
[54:25] prosesong
[54:25] ito
[54:26] ay hindi
[54:26] paghamak
[54:27] sa mga
[54:28] Pilipinong
[54:29] sumusuporta
[54:30] sa
[54:30] vice
[54:31] presidente.
[54:33] Sa
[54:33] isang
[54:34] demokrasya,
[54:36] ang
[54:36] suporta
[54:36] ng
[54:37] mamamayan
[54:37] ay
[54:38] dapat
[54:38] igalang.
[54:40] Ngunit
[54:41] kahit
[54:41] gaano
[54:42] kataas
[54:42] ang
[54:42] posisyon,
[54:44] kahit
[54:45] gaano
[54:45] kalakas
[54:46] ang
[54:46] suporta,
[54:47] walang
[54:48] sinuman
[54:48] ang
[54:49] lampas
[54:50] sa
[54:50] pananagutan
[54:51] sa
[54:52] inalim
[54:52] ng
[54:52] konstitusyon.
[54:55] Hindi
[54:55] ito
[54:56] usapin
[54:57] ng
[54:57] apelido,
[54:59] partido,
[55:01] or
[55:01] rehyon.
[55:03] Ang
[55:03] prinsipyo
[55:04] ng
[55:04] pananagutan
[55:05] ay
[55:05] dapat
[55:06] umiiral
[55:07] kanino
[55:07] man,
[55:08] kaalyado
[55:09] man,
[55:10] o
[55:10] kalaban.
[55:13] At
[55:13] kapag
[55:14] may
[55:14] aligasyon
[55:15] laban
[55:16] sa
[55:16] sino
[55:17] mang
[55:17] opisal
[55:17] ng
[55:18] pamahalaan,
[55:19] maging
[55:20] miyembro
[55:20] man
[55:20] ng
[55:21] House
[55:21] of
[55:21] Representatives,
[55:23] Senado,
[55:24] o
[55:25] Ehekotibo,
[55:26] dapat
[55:26] itong
[55:27] imbistigahan
[55:28] at
[55:29] sagutin
[55:29] sa
[55:30] ilalim
[55:30] ng
[55:30] batas.
[55:32] Walang
[55:33] puwang
[55:33] sa
[55:34] isang
[55:34] tunay
[55:35] na
[55:35] demokrasya
[55:36] ang
[55:37] selective
[55:37] accountability.
[55:41] At
[55:41] sa
[55:41] ebidensya
[55:42] naman,
[55:42] nakita
[55:44] natin
[55:44] ang
[55:44] mga
[55:45] dokumento
[55:45] na hindi
[55:47] maaaring
[55:47] ipagsawalang
[55:48] pahala,
[55:51] mga
[55:51] certification
[55:52] mula
[55:52] sa
[55:53] PSA,
[55:55] mga
[55:55] disallowance
[55:56] mula
[55:56] sa
[55:56] COA,
[55:58] mga
[55:58] records
[55:58] ng
[55:59] transaksyon
[56:00] mula
[56:00] sa
[56:00] AMLC,
[56:03] mga
[56:03] dokumentong
[56:04] isinumite
[56:05] mismo
[56:06] sa
[56:06] Committee
[56:07] on
[56:07] Justice
[56:07] at
[56:08] isinama
[56:09] sa
[56:09] official
[56:10] records
[56:10] ng
[56:10] kapulungang
[56:11] ito.
[56:13] Nakakita
[56:14] tayo
[56:15] ng mga
[56:15] pangalang
[56:16] walang
[56:16] official
[56:16] records,
[56:19] nakakita
[56:19] tayo
[56:20] ng mga
[56:20] confidential
[56:21] funds
[56:22] na
[56:22] idiniklarang
[56:23] disallowed
[56:24] at
[56:25] pinababalik
[56:26] sa
[56:26] kabanang
[56:26] bayan.
[56:27] At
[56:28] nakita
[56:29] rin
[56:29] natin
[56:30] ang
[56:30] ulat
[56:31] na
[56:31] nagpapakita
[56:32] ng
[56:33] bilyong
[56:34] bilyong
[56:35] piso
[56:35] ng
[56:36] inflow
[56:37] at
[56:37] outflow
[56:38] ng
[56:39] mga
[56:39] transaksyon
[56:40] sa
[56:41] loob
[56:41] ng
[56:41] maraming
[56:42] taon.
[56:42] Maaaring
[56:45] may
[56:46] paliwanag
[56:46] sa
[56:46] bawat
[56:47] transaksyon.
[56:49] Ngunit
[56:49] sa
[56:50] laki,
[56:51] lawak
[56:52] at
[56:53] pattern
[56:53] ng
[56:53] mga
[56:54] ito,
[56:55] tungkulin
[56:55] natin
[56:56] tiyakin
[56:57] na
[56:57] ang
[56:58] mga
[56:58] ito
[56:58] ay
[56:59] maipaliwanag
[57:00] ng
[57:00] lubos
[57:01] sa
[57:01] tamang
[57:02] forum
[57:02] at
[57:03] sa
[57:03] ilalim
[57:03] ng
[57:03] panunumpa.
[57:06] At
[57:07] habang
[57:07] pinag-uusapan
[57:08] natin
[57:08] ang
[57:09] bilyon
[57:09] bilyong
[57:09] piso,
[57:11] alalahanin
[57:12] natin
[57:12] kung
[57:13] kaninong
[57:14] pera
[57:14] ito.
[57:16] Pera
[57:17] ito
[57:17] ng
[57:17] manggagawang
[57:18] pumapasok
[57:19] kahit
[57:20] kulang
[57:20] ang
[57:20] pamasahe.
[57:22] Pera
[57:23] ito
[57:23] ng
[57:23] magulang
[57:24] na
[57:24] nagtitiis
[57:25] upang
[57:26] mapag-aral
[57:26] ang
[57:26] anak.
[57:28] Pera
[57:28] ito
[57:29] ng
[57:29] pamilyang
[57:29] pumipila
[57:30] sa
[57:30] ospital
[57:31] ngunit
[57:32] walang
[57:32] pambili
[57:33] ng
[57:33] gamot.
[57:35] Pera
[57:35] ito
[57:35] ng
[57:35] mga
[57:36] Pilipino
[57:36] na
[57:37] araw-araw
[57:38] nagbabayad
[57:39] ng
[57:39] puwis
[57:39] habang
[57:40] umaasang
[57:41] tapat
[57:42] ang
[57:42] mga
[57:42] pinunong
[57:43] kanilang
[57:43] pinagkatiwalaan.
[57:46] Kaya
[57:47] kapag
[57:47] may
[57:47] mga
[57:48] tanong
[57:48] tungkol
[57:50] sa
[57:50] paggamit
[57:51] ng
[57:51] pera
[57:51] ng
[57:51] bayan
[57:52] hindi
[57:53] maaaring
[57:54] manahimik
[57:55] ang
[57:55] House
[57:56] of
[57:56] Representatives
[57:57] at
[57:59] sa
[57:59] kabila
[58:00] ng
[58:00] lahat
[58:00] ng
[58:00] ito
[58:02] isang
[58:03] bakanting
[58:04] upuan
[58:05] ang
[58:06] humarap
[58:07] sa
[58:07] Committee
[58:08] on
[58:08] Justice.
[58:10] Hindi
[58:11] dumalo
[58:11] ang
[58:12] Vice
[58:12] Presidente
[58:14] upang
[58:14] personal
[58:15] na
[58:15] sagutin
[58:16] ang
[58:16] mga
[58:17] isyong
[58:17] ibinabato
[58:18] laban
[58:18] sa
[58:19] kanya.
[58:21] Ngunit
[58:21] sa
[58:21] ating
[58:22] sistema
[58:22] ang
[58:24] mga
[58:24] seryosong
[58:25] aligasyon
[58:25] ay
[58:27] kailangan
[58:27] sagutin
[58:28] sa
[58:29] pamamagitan
[58:30] ng
[58:30] ebidensya
[58:31] at
[58:31] testimonya
[58:32] sa
[58:32] ilalim
[58:33] ng
[58:33] panunumpa.
[58:35] Gayunpaman,
[58:37] kahit
[58:38] wala siya
[58:38] sa
[58:38] pagdinig,
[58:40] pinag-aralan
[58:40] pa rin
[58:41] ng
[58:41] Committee
[58:41] on
[58:41] Justice
[58:42] ang
[58:43] bawat
[58:43] dipensang
[58:44] inilabas
[58:45] ng
[58:45] kanyang
[58:45] kampo.
[58:47] At
[58:47] matapos
[58:48] ang
[58:48] mahabang
[58:49] deliberasyon,
[58:51] matapos
[58:51] ang
[58:52] halos
[58:52] dalawampot
[58:53] dalawang
[58:53] resource
[58:54] persons,
[58:55] matapos
[58:56] ang
[58:56] libulibong
[58:57] pahina
[58:58] ng
[58:58] records
[58:59] nagkaisa
[59:00] ang
[59:01] Committee
[59:01] on
[59:01] Justice.
[59:03] Unanimous
[59:04] po
[59:04] ang
[59:05] boto.
[59:07] The
[59:07] Committee
[59:08] found
[59:09] probable
[59:09] cause
[59:10] to
[59:11] proceed
[59:11] with
[59:11] impeachment.
[59:12] At
[59:14] mahalagang
[59:15] tandaan,
[59:17] hindi
[59:17] nagsimula
[59:18] ang
[59:18] committee
[59:18] na
[59:20] magkakapareho
[59:21] ang
[59:21] pananaw.
[59:24] Marami
[59:24] ang
[59:24] nagtanong,
[59:26] marami
[59:26] ang
[59:27] nagtuda,
[59:28] marami
[59:29] ang
[59:29] nais
[59:29] munang
[59:29] makumbinsi.
[59:32] Ngunit
[59:32] habang
[59:32] dumarating
[59:33] ang mga
[59:33] dokumento,
[59:35] habang
[59:36] lumalabas
[59:37] ang
[59:37] testimonya,
[59:39] habang
[59:39] nabubuo
[59:40] ang
[59:40] kabuang
[59:40] larawan,
[59:42] unti-unting
[59:42] luminaw
[59:43] ang isang
[59:44] bagay.
[59:46] May
[59:46] mga
[59:46] tanong
[59:47] na hindi
[59:48] maaaring
[59:49] iwasan.
[59:50] May
[59:51] mga

[59:51] na hindi
[59:52] maaaring
[59:53] ipagkibit

[1:01:00] Mr.
[1:01:00] Speaker,
[1:01:01] distinguished
[1:01:01] colleagues,
[1:01:03] may mga
[1:01:03] aligasyong
[1:01:04] pinansyal
[1:01:05] na
[1:01:06] kailangan
[1:01:06] sagutin.
[1:01:08] May
[1:01:08] mga
[1:01:08] dokumentong
[1:01:09] kailangang
[1:01:09] ipaliwanag.
[1:01:11] Ngunit
[1:01:11] may isang
[1:01:12] bahagi
[1:01:12] ng
[1:01:12] usaping
[1:01:13] ito
[1:01:13] na
[1:01:14] higit

[1:01:15] sapagkat

[1:01:18] ang

[1:01:20] Ang

[1:01:21] rito
[1:01:21] ay
[1:01:22] tiwala
[1:01:23] ng
[1:01:23] sambayanan
[1:01:23] at
[1:01:28] kapag
[1:01:29] ang

[1:01:30] na
[1:01:30] pinuno
[1:01:30] ng

[1:09:52] that

[1:09:53] on

[1:09:54] to
[1:09:55] conduct
[1:09:55] impeachment
[1:09:55] hearing
[1:09:56] during
[1:09:57] the
[1:09:58] adjournment
[1:09:58] of
[1:09:58] session
[1:09:59] Mr.
[1:10:01] Speaker
[1:10:02] Distinguished
[1:10:03] Colleagues
[1:10:04] Let us
[1:10:05] be reminded
[1:10:06] by the
[1:10:07] distinction
[1:10:07] between
[1:10:08] an impeachment
[1:10:09] process
[1:10:10] vis-a-vis
[1:10:11] the
[1:10:12] legislative
[1:10:13] process
[1:10:13] The
[1:10:15] impeachment
[1:10:15] process
[1:10:16] is
[1:10:17] governed
[1:10:18] by
[1:10:18] Article
[1:10:19] 11
[1:10:19] of the
[1:10:20] Constitution
[1:10:20] whereas
[1:10:22] the
[1:10:23] legislative
[1:10:24] process
[1:10:25] is
[1:10:25] governed
[1:10:26] by
[1:10:26] Article
[1:10:27] 6
[1:10:27] of
[1:10:28] the
[1:10:28] Constitution
[1:10:28] Suffice
[1:10:30] it to
[1:10:30] state
[1:10:30] that
[1:10:32] there
[1:10:32] is
[1:10:32] entirely
[1:10:33] big
[1:10:34] difference
[1:10:35] between
[1:10:36] an impeachment
[1:10:37] process
[1:10:37] and a
[1:10:38] legislative
[1:10:39] process
[1:10:39] As a matter
[1:10:41] of fact
[1:10:41] Mr.
[1:10:42] Speaker
[1:10:42] there is
[1:10:44] a
[1:10:44] different
[1:10:44] set
[1:10:45] of
[1:10:45] rules
[1:10:46] which
[1:10:47] govern
[1:10:48] the
[1:10:48] proceeding
[1:10:49] of
[1:10:49] impeachment
[1:10:49] in the
[1:10:51] same
[1:10:51] manner
[1:10:51] that
[1:10:52] there
[1:10:52] is
[1:10:52] a
[1:10:52] different
[1:10:53] set
[1:10:53] of
[1:10:53] rules
[1:10:54] that
[1:10:54] govern
[1:10:55] our
[1:10:56] legislative
[1:10:57] process
[1:10:57] Mr.
[1:10:59] Speaker
[1:11:00] In other
[1:11:01] words
[1:11:02] my
[1:11:03] distinguished
[1:11:03] colleagues
[1:11:04] the
[1:11:05] impeachment
[1:11:05] process
[1:11:06] is not
[1:11:06] governed
[1:11:07] by
[1:11:08] breaks
[1:11:08] and
[1:11:09] recess
[1:11:10] and to
[1:11:12] validate
[1:11:12] that
[1:11:13] Mr.
[1:11:13] Speaker
[1:11:13] the House
[1:11:15] of
[1:11:15] Representatives
[1:11:16] before
[1:11:17] the
[1:11:19] break
[1:11:19] before
[1:11:20] the
[1:11:21] start
[1:11:21] of
[1:11:21] the
[1:11:21] proceeding
[1:11:22] before
[1:11:22] the
[1:11:23] Justice
[1:11:23] Committee
[1:11:23] even
[1:11:24] passed
[1:11:25] a
[1:11:25] resolution
[1:11:26] expressly
[1:11:27] authorizing
[1:11:28] the
[1:11:28] Justice
[1:11:28] Committee
[1:11:29] to
[1:11:30] proceed
[1:11:30] with
[1:11:30] its
[1:11:31] hearing
[1:11:31] to
[1:11:32] exercise
[1:11:33] the
[1:11:33] compulsory
[1:11:34] process
[1:11:34] and
[1:11:35] even
[1:11:35] to
[1:11:35] use
[1:11:36] the
[1:11:36] electronic
[1:11:37] mode
[1:11:38] of
[1:11:38] sending
[1:11:38] notices
[1:11:39] and
[1:11:40] documents
[1:11:40] Mr.
[1:11:41] Speaker
[1:11:42] In
[1:11:43] conclusion
[1:11:43] there is
[1:11:45] nothing
[1:11:46] under
[1:11:46] the
[1:11:46] rule
[1:11:46] which
[1:11:47] prohibits
[1:11:48] hearing
[1:11:50] of the
[1:11:50] Justice
[1:11:51] Committee
[1:11:51] during
[1:11:52] recess
[1:11:52] it must
[1:11:54] be
[1:11:54] remembered
[1:11:54] impeachment
[1:11:56] process
[1:11:56] is
[1:11:57] entirely
[1:11:58] different
[1:11:58] from
[1:11:59] the
[1:11:59] legislative
[1:12:00] process
[1:12:00] I
[1:12:01] submit
[1:12:02] Mr.
[1:12:02] Speaker
[1:12:02] So
[1:12:04] Madam
[1:12:04] sponsor
[1:12:05] wala pong

[1:12:16] adjournment
[1:12:17] Mr.
[1:12:17] Speaker
[1:12:18] if I may
[1:12:19] continue
[1:12:19] it seems
[1:12:21] to this
[1:12:21] representation
[1:12:22] that the
[1:12:23] honorable
[1:12:23] gentleman
[1:12:24] is not

[1:12:25] I have

[1:27:27] cause
[1:27:28] exists
[1:27:28] or

[1:28:43] I
[1:28:44] I

[1:29:00] nonetheless
[1:29:02] Mr. Speaker
[1:29:03] following
[1:29:05] the test
[1:29:06] of

[1:29:07] Mr.

[1:29:26] and
[1:29:26] therefore
[1:29:27] this
[1:29:28] should
[1:29:28] be

[1:30:48] of
[1:30:48] offenses
[1:30:49] if I
[1:30:50] may
[1:30:50] add
[1:30:50] Mr. Speaker
[1:30:51] Distinguished
[1:30:52] Colleagues
[1:30:52] let us
[1:30:53] be
[1:30:53] reminded
[1:30:53] that
[1:30:54] the
[1:30:54] threshold
[1:30:55] that
[1:30:55] was
[1:30:55] given
[1:30:55] to
[1:30:55] the
[1:30:56] Justice
[1:30:56] Committee
[1:30:56] for
[1:30:57] the
[1:30:57] purpose
[1:30:57] of
[1:30:58] the
[1:30:58] determination
[1:30:58] of
[1:30:58] probable
[1:30:59] cause
[1:30:59] is
[1:31:00] very
[1:31:00] minimal
[1:31:00] and
[1:31:01] that
[1:31:01] is
[1:31:02] probable
[1:31:02] cause
[1:31:03] when
[1:31:03] we
[1:31:04] say
[1:31:04] probable
[1:31:04] cause
[1:31:05] the
[1:31:05] Supreme
[1:31:06] Court
[1:31:06] pronounced
[1:31:07] and
[1:31:07] described
[1:31:07] the
[1:31:07] same
[1:31:08] in
[1:31:08] the
[1:31:08] past
[1:31:09] impeachment
[1:31:09] processes
[1:31:10] as
[1:31:10] merely
[1:31:10] reasonable
[1:31:11] justification
[1:31:12] for
[1:31:13] us
[1:31:13] to be
[1:31:13] able
[1:31:14] to
[1:31:14] proceed
[1:31:14] to
[1:31:14] trial
[1:31:15] with
[1:31:15] that
[1:31:15] Mr. Speaker
[1:31:16] and
[1:31:16] distinguished
[1:31:17] colleagues
[1:31:17] we
[1:31:18] submit
[1:31:18] that
[1:31:19] all
[1:31:19] the
[1:31:19] evidences
[1:31:20] not
[1:31:20] present
[1:31:21] during
[1:31:21] the
[1:31:21] filing
[1:31:21] but
[1:31:22] present
[1:31:22] during
[1:31:23] the
[1:31:23] proceeding
[1:31:23] are
[1:31:24] relevant
[1:31:24] evidence
[1:31:25] and
[1:31:25] therefore
[1:31:26] must
[1:31:26] be
[1:31:26] considered
[1:31:27] as
[1:31:27] well
[1:31:27] by the
[1:31:28] Justice
[1:31:28] Committee
[1:31:28] My
[1:31:29] time
[1:31:29] is
[1:31:29] expired
[1:31:30] but

[1:31:38] of
[1:31:39] impeachment
[1:31:39] which
[1:31:40] is
[1:31:41] supposedly
[1:31:42] a
[1:31:42] product
[1:31:43] of
[1:31:43] the
[1:31:44] two
[1:31:44] verified
[1:31:45] complaints
[1:31:46] has
[1:31:46] been
[1:31:47] expanded
[1:31:48] and has
[1:31:48] excluded
[1:31:49] included
[1:31:50] it
[1:31:51] included
[1:31:51] new
[1:31:52] evidence
[1:31:52] and
[1:31:53] it
[1:31:53] is
[1:31:53] only
[1:31:54] fair
[1:31:54] and
[1:31:55] fitting
[1:31:55] that
[1:31:56] the
[1:31:57] respondent
[1:31:58] should
[1:31:58] be
[1:31:58] asked
[1:31:58] to

[1:31:59] first
[1:32:00] before

[1:32:08] if

[1:32:10] was
[1:32:10] not
[1:32:11] allowed
[1:32:11] to
[1:32:12] answer

[1:32:27] let me
[1:32:28] manifest
[1:32:29] our
[1:32:29] position
[1:32:30] for the
[1:32:30] last

[1:32:31] regardless
[1:32:32] of the
[1:32:33] fact
[1:32:33] that

[1:32:54] for the
[1:32:55] purpose
[1:32:55] of the

[1:32:56] of probable
[1:32:57] cause
[1:32:58] with
[1:32:58] regards

[1:32:59] second
[1:33:00] manifestation
[1:33:01] Mr.

[1:33:09] proceeding
[1:33:10] we've
[1:33:11] been

[1:33:12] to the
[1:33:13] respondent
[1:33:14] vice

[1:33:15] of

[1:33:19] three
[1:33:20] consecutive

[1:33:22] we were
[1:33:22] calling
[1:33:23] the

[1:34:16] House
[1:34:16] Committee on

[1:34:27] was denied
[1:34:27] with
[1:34:27] finality
[1:34:28] required
[1:34:29] and
[1:34:30] the
[1:34:30] record
[1:34:30] will
[1:34:30] show
[1:34:30] that
[1:34:30] the
[1:34:31] committee
[1:34:31] provided
[1:34:32] the
[1:34:32] first
[1:34:33] but
[1:34:33] withheld
[1:34:34] the

[1:34:36] post
[1:34:36] filing
[1:34:36] evidence
[1:34:37] introduced
[1:34:38] factual
[1:34:38] predicates
[1:34:39] absent
[1:34:39] from the
[1:34:40] four
[1:34:40] corners
[1:34:40] of the
[1:34:41] verified
[1:34:41] complaint
[1:34:42] of the
[1:34:44] court
[1:34:45] of the
[1:34:47] court
[1:34:48] and
[1:34:49] the
[1:34:49] court
[1:34:50] and
[1:34:51] the
[1:34:52] vice
[1:34:52] president
[1:34:52] during
[1:34:53] the
[1:34:53] determination
[1:34:54] of
[1:34:54] sufficiency
[1:34:55] in
[1:34:55] substance
[1:34:56] upon the determination of sufficiency in substance
[1:34:59] was indeed sent a notice for her to file her answer.
[1:35:04] Indeed, the Justice Committee received the answer.
[1:35:07] However, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues,
[1:35:10] the answer raises constitutional questions,
[1:35:12] questions similar to those pending before the Honorable Supreme Court.
[1:35:16] It never responded directly to the allegations of the complaint.
[1:35:22] To complete my response, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues,
[1:35:26] as I have said, in the entire proceeding of the Justice Committee,
[1:35:30] the respondent Vice President was duly notified.
[1:35:34] And after a presentation of every resource person,
[1:35:38] he was being called, she was being called by the Committee Secretary
[1:35:41] to make sure the due process will be provided to the respondent Vice President.
[1:35:46] With that, Mr. Speaker, it is our humble submission
[1:35:49] that we comply fully, amply, to the requirement of due process,
[1:35:53] be it substantive or procedural.
[1:35:57] Majority Leader.
[1:35:58] Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
[1:35:59] Please recognize the gentleman from the 1st District of Batangas,
[1:36:03] the Honorable Leandro Legarda Leviste, for his interpellation.
[1:36:07] Honorable Leandro Antonio Legarda Leviste, 1st District of Batangas, is hereby recognized.
[1:36:12] Magandang hapon po sa aking kababayan, Madam Chair.
[1:36:15] Madam, is selective justice justice or injustice?
[1:36:23] We are not abiding with selective injustice,
[1:36:28] inasmuch as we do not abide in selective accountability.
[1:36:32] And I have mentioned that in my sponsorship speech.
[1:36:36] So, selective justice is injustice.
[1:36:38] Therefore, if we hold some to account, we should hold all to account.
[1:36:42] That is correct.
[1:36:43] Thank you, Madam Chair.
[1:36:45] Would you support the House resuming the flood control investigations?
[1:36:51] Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues,
[1:36:54] in our response to the mandate of transparency and accountability,
[1:36:59] we have to distinguish between an impeachable official
[1:37:03] and non-impeachable official.
[1:37:06] I'm asking for your personal position on this.
[1:37:08] For impeachable official, Mr. Speaker,
[1:37:10] we follow the rules of impeachment,
[1:37:12] both of the House of Representatives and of the Senate.
[1:37:16] For non-impeachable official,
[1:37:18] it will depend on the nature of investigation or case
[1:37:23] which the gentleman from the 1st District of Batangas wishes to initiate.
[1:37:27] Nevertheless, Mr. Speaker,
[1:37:30] there is proper forum,
[1:37:32] there is proper rules that apply
[1:37:34] to every remedy that is given to the Filipino people.
[1:37:38] So may I ask again, Madam,
[1:37:39] would you support the House resuming the flood control investigations?
[1:37:44] Mr. Speaker, may I be recognized?
[1:37:46] Majority Leader.
[1:37:47] While I understand the concern of the Honorable Leviste
[1:37:49] to pursue accountability in all matters involving Congress
[1:37:53] and the government itself,
[1:37:56] may I request that gentlemen from Batangas
[1:37:58] not to stray from our deliberations involving the resolution?
[1:38:03] So the House does not want to make a statement today
[1:38:06] on whether it wishes to resume the flood control investigations?
[1:38:08] Mr. Speaker, we will not make any statement
[1:38:11] outside our deliberations on the impeachment complaints.
[1:38:14] May I remind Representative Leviste
[1:38:16] to confine your interpolation and question
[1:38:19] to the resolution under consideration.
[1:38:24] I will move to my next topic. Thank you.
[1:38:28] Do you support transparency in the use of public funds?
[1:38:31] Definitely, Mr. Speaker.
[1:38:33] Thank you, Madam Chair.
[1:38:33] I heard that on March 18,
[1:38:36] some members of Congress got Easter break bonuses
[1:38:38] or additional MOOE of 2 million pesos or more,
[1:38:42] and those who do not support the impeachment
[1:38:44] did not get this extra MOOE.
[1:38:47] Do you know anything about this, Madam Chair,
[1:38:49] and how much MOOE have you gotten this year?
[1:38:52] Mr. Speaker,
[1:38:53] I deny the allegation of the Honorable Gentleman from Batangas,
[1:38:57] but it is my observation as well
[1:38:59] that the statement is no longer relevant
[1:39:02] to the subject matter of this impeachment process.
[1:39:03] Madam Chair,
[1:39:04] I just want to make this clear
[1:39:06] before the members of Congress cast their votes,
[1:39:09] because there is, first of all,
[1:39:11] confirmed information
[1:39:12] that some members of Congress
[1:39:14] got 2 million pesos on March 18.
[1:39:17] But on the impeachment...
[1:39:18] Point of order, Mr. Speaker.
[1:39:19] Mr. Chair, just on the impeachment.
[1:39:21] Majority Leader.
[1:39:23] On the impeachment.
[1:39:23] Mr. Speaker,
[1:39:24] the Honorable Legarda Leviste
[1:39:26] is free to speak his mind
[1:39:29] after the voting so long as he stayed.
[1:39:32] Mr. Chair, just on the impeachment.
[1:39:34] Senator Aimee Marcos said
[1:39:35] those who vote for the impeachment
[1:39:36] will get 20 million pesos.
[1:39:38] And I just want to make it clear
[1:39:40] if this is true or not,
[1:39:41] because if it is true,
[1:39:42] then it should be made public.
[1:39:44] And if some are getting the 20 million
[1:39:46] and others are not getting the 20 million,
[1:39:48] then it should at least be fair
[1:39:49] that everyone who votes gets 20 million.
[1:39:52] And those who do not vote,
[1:39:54] hopefully, should also be given that,
[1:39:55] because this is taxpayers' money
[1:39:56] and should not be allocated
[1:39:58] on the basis of your vote on the impeachment.
[1:39:59] Mr. Speaker,
[1:40:01] on behalf of all the members
[1:40:02] of the House of Representatives,
[1:40:04] I categorically deny any statement
[1:40:08] made by the Senator...
[1:40:09] This is what Senator Aimee Marcos said.
[1:40:11] Yes, Mr. Speaker.
[1:40:13] May I request the Honorable Legarda
[1:40:15] to proceed with this interpolation
[1:40:16] regarding the resolution
[1:40:17] and the articles of impeachment.
[1:40:19] I have one last topic on this,
[1:40:21] which is,
[1:40:21] for the sake of the other members of Congress,
[1:40:24] is it true or not true
[1:40:25] that those who vote against the impeachment
[1:40:27] will lose benefits for their vote
[1:40:31] so that before we cast our votes,
[1:40:35] we will know whether doing so
[1:40:38] will result in us losing our benefits or not.
[1:40:41] Mr. Speaker, may I be recognized once more?
[1:40:43] Majority Leader.
[1:40:44] Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the House,
[1:40:46] we categorically deny any such allegations
[1:40:49] and we would like to thank
[1:40:50] the Honorable Legarda
[1:40:51] for his pursuit of accountability
[1:40:53] and transparency.
[1:40:54] Thank you, Mr. Chair.
[1:40:55] I would like to thank you
[1:40:55] for putting it on the record.
[1:40:56] Honorable Legarda,
[1:40:57] Mr. Chair,
[1:40:58] your time is up,
[1:40:59] I'll give you one last question.
[1:41:00] No one should lose their benefits
[1:41:02] for their vote today.
[1:41:04] And lastly,
[1:41:04] I would like to ask
[1:41:05] if the House Committee on Accounts
[1:41:06] and the DBM
[1:41:07] can release all data
[1:41:08] on the budgetary releases
[1:41:10] for MOOE
[1:41:12] or for infrastructure
[1:41:13] or any other budgets
[1:41:15] so that we can ascertain
[1:41:16] whether it is true or not
[1:41:17] what Senator Aimee Marcos said.
[1:41:19] Thank you, Mr. Chair.
[1:41:20] Majority Leader.
[1:41:21] Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
[1:41:22] Mr. Speaker,
[1:41:23] there being no other member
[1:41:24] to interpolate
[1:41:25] the sponsor
[1:41:27] or make any manifestation,
[1:41:28] I move to adopt
[1:41:30] House Resolution No. 989
[1:41:32] together with the findings,
[1:41:33] conclusions,
[1:41:34] and recommendations
[1:41:35] contained in

[1:41:39] direct the Secretary-General
[1:41:40] to call the role of members
[1:41:42] for nominal voting.

[1:41:47] is hereby directed

[1:41:57] of voting
[1:41:58] and pursuant to the rules,

[1:42:09] to explain their vote

[2:07:16] Mr. Speaker,
[2:07:17] I move that we recognize
[2:07:18] the Honorable Representative
[2:07:19] Bienvenido M. Abante Jr.
[2:07:22] of the 6th District of Manila
[2:07:23] to explain his vote.
[2:07:25] Representative Abante,
[2:07:27] 6th District of Manila
[2:07:28] is hereby recognized.
[2:07:33] Thank you,
[2:07:34] Majority Leader.
[2:07:37] And thank you,
[2:07:37] my dear Speaker.
[2:07:38] Psalms 11.3 says,
[2:07:44] If the foundations
[2:07:45] be destroyed,
[2:07:48] what can the righteous do?
[2:07:51] Today,
[2:07:53] the whole of Congress
[2:07:54] has spoken.
[2:07:57] This was the statement
[2:07:58] of one
[2:07:59] of the most
[2:08:01] powerful kings
[2:08:03] Israel ever had,
[2:08:05] King David.
[2:08:07] But first of all,
[2:08:09] Mr. Speaker,
[2:08:10] my dear colleagues,
[2:08:12] I would like first
[2:08:13] to commend
[2:08:14] the Chairman
[2:08:15] of the Committee
[2:08:16] on Justice
[2:08:17] for shepherding
[2:08:19] with boldness
[2:08:21] and fairness
[2:08:22] these impeachment hearings.
[2:08:27] As we move closer
[2:08:28] to the impeachment trial,
[2:08:31] Mr. Speaker,
[2:08:32] my dear colleagues,
[2:08:35] this is no longer
[2:08:36] just about politics.
[2:08:40] This is about conscience,
[2:08:42] duty,
[2:08:44] and the future
[2:08:45] of our nation.
[2:08:47] Uulitin ko po,
[2:08:48] this is not about
[2:08:50] 2028.
[2:08:53] This is not about
[2:08:54] political alliances.
[2:08:58] This is about
[2:08:59] whether
[2:08:59] we still believe
[2:09:01] that no one
[2:09:03] is above the law.
[2:09:05] And I believe this
[2:09:06] with all my heart
[2:09:07] and so do
[2:09:09] many of my colleagues
[2:09:10] in this chamber.
[2:09:12] Our vote today
[2:09:13] is not
[2:09:16] a declaration
[2:09:16] of guilt.
[2:09:19] It is
[2:09:19] a declaration
[2:09:20] that when
[2:09:22] serious
[2:09:23] allegations
[2:09:23] are raised
[2:09:24] against one
[2:09:26] of the highest
[2:09:27] officials
[2:09:27] of the land,
[2:09:29] Congress
[2:09:30] cannot look away.
[2:09:33] Congress
[2:09:33] cannot remain
[2:09:35] silent.
[2:09:37] Congress
[2:09:38] must act
[2:09:39] according to the
[2:09:40] Constitution
[2:09:41] and according
[2:09:43] to conscience.
[2:09:45] An impeachment
[2:09:46] ay hindi dapat
[2:09:47] gawing laro
[2:09:48] ng politika.
[2:09:49] This is a
[2:09:51] constitutional
[2:09:52] process
[2:09:53] with consequences
[2:09:55] not just
[2:09:56] for today
[2:09:57] but for
[2:09:58] generations
[2:09:59] to come.
[2:10:01] The Filipino
[2:10:02] people deserve
[2:10:03] a trial
[2:10:04] that is fair,
[2:10:06] impartial,
[2:10:07] and rooted
[2:10:08] in the rule
[2:10:09] of law.
[2:10:11] And now,
[2:10:13] as the responsibility
[2:10:14] shifts to the
[2:10:15] Senate,
[2:10:16] which will
[2:10:17] sit as an
[2:10:18] impeachment court,
[2:10:20] I ask
[2:10:21] our countrymen
[2:10:22] to pray
[2:10:24] for our
[2:10:25] senator
[2:10:25] judges.
[2:10:27] Pray not
[2:10:28] for one
[2:10:29] side or
[2:10:29] another
[2:10:30] to win
[2:10:31] politically,
[2:10:33] but for
[2:10:33] truth
[2:10:34] to prevail.
[2:10:36] Pray that
[2:10:37] our senator
[2:10:38] judges
[2:10:38] be guided
[2:10:40] by wisdom,
[2:10:42] fairness,
[2:10:43] and integrity.
[2:10:45] Let us pray
[2:10:46] that they be
[2:10:47] swayed by
[2:10:47] their conscience
[2:10:48] and guided
[2:10:50] by the evidence
[2:10:51] before them
[2:10:51] rather than
[2:10:53] by political
[2:10:54] pressure
[2:10:54] from various
[2:10:56] camps.
[2:10:57] As it is
[2:10:58] written
[2:10:58] in James
[2:11:00] 516,
[2:11:02] and I
[2:11:03] quote,
[2:11:04] confess
[2:11:04] your faults
[2:11:05] one to
[2:11:06] another
[2:11:06] and pray
[2:11:08] for one
[2:11:09] another
[2:11:09] that she
[2:11:10] may be
[2:11:11] healed.
[2:11:12] The
[2:11:12] effectual
[2:11:13] fervent
[2:11:13] prayer
[2:11:14] of a
[2:11:14] righteous
[2:11:14] man
[2:11:15] availeth
[2:11:16] much.
[2:11:17] End of
[2:11:18] quote.
[2:11:19] Mr. Speaker,
[2:11:21] my dear
[2:11:21] colleagues,
[2:11:23] I am fully
[2:11:24] aware
[2:11:24] that history
[2:11:26] will judge
[2:11:26] the decisions
[2:11:27] we make
[2:11:29] today.
[2:11:30] Years from
[2:11:31] now,
[2:11:33] my
[2:11:33] grandchildren
[2:11:34] will look
[2:11:34] back at
[2:11:35] this chapter
[2:11:36] in our
[2:11:37] nation's
[2:11:37] history
[2:11:38] and ask
[2:11:40] how their
[2:11:41] law law
[2:11:41] voted
[2:11:41] when the
[2:11:43] country
[2:11:43] was confronted
[2:11:45] with different
[2:11:46] questions about
[2:11:47] truth,
[2:11:48] accountability,
[2:11:50] and justice.
[2:11:52] I want
[2:11:52] them to know
[2:11:53] that their
[2:11:53] law law
[2:11:54] stood on
[2:11:54] the side
[2:11:55] of conscience
[2:11:56] and conviction.
[2:11:58] Mr. Speaker,
[2:11:59] I want
[2:12:00] them to be
[2:12:00] proud that
[2:12:02] I chose
[2:12:02] to do
[2:12:03] what I
[2:12:04] believe
[2:12:05] was right.
[2:12:08] Maraming
[2:12:08] maraming
[2:12:09] salamat po,
[2:12:10] Mr. Speaker.
[2:12:11] Majority
[2:12:11] Leader.
[2:12:17] Mr. Speaker,
[2:12:18] I move to
[2:12:19] recognize
[2:12:19] Representative
[2:12:20] June
[2:12:21] Asidre
[2:12:22] from
[2:12:23] Partilist
[2:12:23] Tingog.
[2:12:24] So move,
[2:12:25] Mr. Speaker.
[2:12:25] Honorable
[2:12:26] Jude
[2:12:26] Asidre,
[2:12:27] Partilist
[2:12:27] Tingog,
[2:12:28] is hereby
[2:12:28] recognized.
[2:12:29] Mr. Speaker,
[2:12:30] I vote
[2:12:31] yes to the
[2:12:31] impeachment
[2:12:32] complaint
[2:12:33] against
[2:12:33] Vice
[2:12:33] President
[2:12:34] Sara Duterte.
[2:12:36] I say
[2:12:37] this with
[2:12:37] a heavy
[2:12:37] heart
[2:12:38] and with
[2:12:38] full
[2:12:38] awareness
[2:12:39] of the
[2:12:39] weight
[2:12:40] of this
[2:12:40] decision.
[2:12:41] This is
[2:12:42] not a vote
[2:12:42] that I
[2:12:43] cast lightly.
[2:12:45] In truth,
[2:12:46] this is a
[2:12:47] decision I
[2:12:47] struggled
[2:12:48] with deeply.
[2:12:49] I campaigned
[2:12:50] for Vice
[2:12:51] President
[2:12:51] Sara Duterte
[2:12:52] in 2022.
[2:12:54] I supported
[2:12:55] her candidacy.
[2:12:57] I believed
[2:12:57] in her
[2:12:58] capacity
[2:12:58] to lead
[2:12:59] and to
[2:12:59] serve.
[2:13:00] That is
[2:13:01] why when
[2:13:01] the allegations
[2:13:02] first surfaced
[2:13:03] and the
[2:13:04] hearings began,
[2:13:06] I did
[2:13:06] not rush
[2:13:07] to judgment.
[2:13:07] I
[2:13:08] listened,
[2:13:09] I
[2:13:09] waited,
[2:13:10] I
[2:13:10] searched
[2:13:11] for
[2:13:11] answers.
[2:13:12] I
[2:13:12] wanted
[2:13:13] to
[2:13:13] believe
[2:13:13] there
[2:13:13] was
[2:13:14] an
[2:13:14] explanation
[2:13:14] that
[2:13:15] could
[2:13:15] satisfy
[2:13:16] the
[2:13:16] demands
[2:13:17] of
[2:13:17] truth,
[2:13:18] accountability,
[2:13:19] and public
[2:13:19] trust.
[2:13:21] But as
[2:13:21] the hearings
[2:13:22] progressed,
[2:13:22] the evidence
[2:13:23] became clearer.
[2:13:25] Testimony
[2:13:26] after
[2:13:26] testimony,
[2:13:27] document
[2:13:28] after
[2:13:28] document,
[2:13:29] fact
[2:13:30] after
[2:13:30] fact,
[2:13:31] a pattern
[2:13:32] emerged that
[2:13:32] could no
[2:13:33] longer be
[2:13:33] dismissed,
[2:13:34] explained away,
[2:13:35] or set aside.
[2:13:36] the evidence
[2:13:37] before us
[2:13:38] was not
[2:13:38] vague,
[2:13:39] it was not
[2:13:40] light,
[2:13:41] it was not
[2:13:41] something I
[2:13:42] could pretend
[2:13:42] away simply
[2:13:44] because the
[2:13:45] decision was
[2:13:46] difficult.
[2:13:47] It was
[2:13:47] substantial,
[2:13:49] serious,
[2:13:49] and overwhelming.
[2:13:51] And when the
[2:13:51] evidence becomes
[2:13:52] overwhelming,
[2:13:54] conscience leaves
[2:13:55] us with only
[2:13:56] one honest
[2:13:57] choice.
[2:13:58] After several
[2:13:59] committee hearings,
[2:14:00] after hours of
[2:14:02] testimony,
[2:14:02] after reviewing
[2:14:04] the records,
[2:14:04] documents,
[2:14:05] and deliberations,
[2:14:06] I came to a
[2:14:07] difficult but
[2:14:08] necessary
[2:14:08] conclusion.
[2:14:10] There are
[2:14:10] compelling
[2:14:11] grounds to
[2:14:12] support the
[2:14:12] impeachment
[2:14:13] complaint.
[2:14:14] Public
[2:14:15] service,
[2:14:16] Mr.
[2:14:16] Speaker,
[2:14:17] sometimes
[2:14:18] ask us to
[2:14:19] make difficult
[2:14:20] decisions.
[2:14:21] At times,
[2:14:22] it asks us to
[2:14:23] stand apart
[2:14:23] from those
[2:14:24] we once
[2:14:25] stood with.
[2:14:26] It asks us
[2:14:27] to place
[2:14:28] duty above
[2:14:28] comfort,
[2:14:30] conscience
[2:14:30] above convenience,
[2:14:31] and country
[2:14:32] above loyalty.
[2:14:34] I voted to
[2:14:35] approve the
[2:14:36] impeachment
[2:14:36] complaint because
[2:14:37] my conscience
[2:14:38] would not allow
[2:14:39] me to do
[2:14:40] otherwise.
[2:14:41] I signed it
[2:14:42] because accountability
[2:14:43] must always
[2:14:45] remain consequential
[2:14:46] to our democracy.
[2:14:48] I signed it
[2:14:49] because no
[2:14:50] public office,
[2:14:51] however high,
[2:14:52] should be beyond
[2:14:53] scrutiny.
[2:14:55] I voted to
[2:14:55] approve it
[2:14:56] because overwhelming
[2:14:57] evidence carries
[2:14:59] a moral demand.
[2:15:00] It asks us
[2:15:01] to act.
[2:15:02] Mr.
[2:15:03] Speaker,
[2:15:04] here I
[2:15:05] stand and
[2:15:05] I can do
[2:15:06] no other.
[2:15:07] This vote is
[2:15:08] not about
[2:15:09] politics.
[2:15:10] It's not about
[2:15:11] public judgment.
[2:15:12] It is about
[2:15:13] the rule of
[2:15:13] law.
[2:15:14] It is about
[2:15:15] institutional
[2:15:15] accountability.
[2:15:17] It is about
[2:15:18] the courage to
[2:15:18] follow the
[2:15:19] evidence
[2:15:20] wherever it
[2:15:21] leads,
[2:15:22] even when it
[2:15:23] means standing
[2:15:23] against someone
[2:15:24] we once
[2:15:25] supported.
[2:15:27] Today,
[2:15:28] I vote yes
[2:15:29] because I
[2:15:29] believe in the
[2:15:30] promise of
[2:15:30] public service.
[2:15:31] I still
[2:15:32] believe in
[2:15:33] the dignity
[2:15:33] of our
[2:15:34] institutions.
[2:15:35] I still
[2:15:35] believe that
[2:15:36] truth must
[2:15:37] matter,
[2:15:38] accountability
[2:15:38] must prevail,
[2:15:40] and conscience
[2:15:40] must guide
[2:15:41] those
[2:15:41] entrusted with
[2:15:42] power.
[2:15:43] For this
[2:15:43] reason,
[2:15:44] Mr. Speaker,
[2:15:45] I vote yes
[2:15:46] to the impeachment
[2:15:47] complaint.
[2:15:49] Majority Leader.
[2:15:49] Mr. Speaker,
[2:15:57] I move to
[2:15:57] recognize
[2:15:58] Representative
[2:16:00] Kaka J.
[2:16:02] Bagao of

[2:16:09] is recognized.
[2:16:10] Thank you,
[2:16:11] Mr. Speaker.
[2:16:12] I vote yes
[2:16:13] to House
[2:16:15] Resolution
[2:16:16] 989,
[2:16:17] including the
[2:16:17] Articles of
[2:16:18] Impeachment
[2:16:19] against the
[2:16:19] Vice
[2:16:20] President.
[2:16:21] Naniniwala
[2:16:22] po ako,
[2:16:22] Mr. Speaker,
[2:16:23] sa karapatan
[2:16:25] ng mga
[2:16:26] mamayan,
[2:16:26] na marinig
[2:16:28] ang katotohanan
[2:16:28] at ang mga
[2:16:29] ebidensya

[2:16:31] opisyal
[2:16:32] ng gobyerno.
[2:16:33] Naniniwala
[2:16:34] po ako
[2:16:34] na lahat tayo
[2:16:36] ay may karapatang
[2:16:37] humingi
[2:16:38] ng rekurso

[2:16:42] pandaraya,
[2:16:43] at pagsisinungaling
[2:16:44] ng mga opisyal.
[2:16:46] Naniniwala
[2:16:47] po ako
[2:16:47] na bawat isa
[2:16:48] sa atin,

[2:16:49] ang mga opisyal

[2:16:53] itaguyod

[2:16:55] batas
[2:16:56] at mga
[2:16:57] demokratikong
[2:16:58] institusyon.
[2:16:59] Matagal kong
[2:17:00] pinagnilayan
[2:17:02] ang mga
[2:17:03] akusasyon
[2:17:04] at ebidensya
[2:17:05] na prinisinta
[2:17:06] sa komite
[2:17:07] ng Kongreso.
[2:17:09] Hindi ko
[2:17:09] maaaring
[2:17:10] talikuran
[2:17:11] at isang
[2:17:11] tabi
[2:17:11] ang mga
[2:17:12] naganap
[2:17:13] na paglabag
[2:17:14] sa ating
[2:17:15] mga karapatan.
[2:17:16] Dapat
[2:17:17] harapin
[2:17:17] ng vicepresidente
[2:17:18] ang mga
[2:17:19] mabibigat
[2:17:20] na aligasyon

[2:18:30] Santos
[2:18:31] is hereby
[2:18:31] recognized.
[2:18:33] Mr.
[2:18:33] Speaker
[2:18:33] my vote
[2:18:34] is no
[2:18:35] let me
[2:18:36] state
[2:18:36] at the
[2:18:37] outset
[2:18:37] accountability
[2:18:38] is
[2:18:39] non
[2:18:39] negotiable
[2:18:40] public
[2:18:41] office
[2:18:41] is a
[2:18:42] public
[2:18:42] trust
[2:18:43] and
[2:18:43] every
[2:18:43] public
[2:18:44] official
[2:18:45] must
[2:18:45] remain
[2:18:45] unsellerable
[2:18:46] to the
[2:18:46] Filipino
[2:18:47] people.
[2:18:48] As
[2:18:49] representatives
[2:18:49] of the
[2:18:50] people
[2:18:50] we do
[2:18:51] not
[2:18:51] speak
[2:18:51] only
[2:18:52] for
[2:18:52] ourselves
[2:18:52] in
[2:18:53] this
[2:18:53] chamber
[2:18:53] we
[2:18:54] carry
[2:18:54] the
[2:18:55] voices
[2:18:55] concerns
[2:18:56] and
[2:18:57] aspiration
[2:18:57] of the
[2:18:58] people
[2:18:58] we
[2:18:59] represent.
[2:18:59] After
[2:19:01] careful
[2:19:01] consideration
[2:19:02] of the
[2:19:03] facts
[2:19:03] arguments
[2:19:04] the
[2:19:05] quiet
[2:19:05] call
[2:19:05] of
[2:19:06] fairness
[2:19:06] that
[2:19:07] must
[2:19:07] guide
[2:19:07] this
[2:19:07] chamber
[2:19:08] and
[2:19:09] the
[2:19:09] sentiments
[2:19:09] of
[2:19:10] my
[2:19:10] constituents
[2:19:11] I
[2:19:12] rise
[2:19:12] today
[2:19:13] to
[2:19:13] cast
[2:19:14] my
[2:19:14] vote
[2:19:14] in
[2:19:15] accordance
[2:19:15] without
[2:19:16] mandate.
[2:19:16] let me
[2:19:18] be
[2:19:18] clear
[2:19:18] a
[2:19:19] no
[2:19:20] vote
[2:19:20] today
[2:19:20] does
[2:19:21] not
[2:19:21] diminish
[2:19:22] our
[2:19:22] duty
[2:19:22] to
[2:19:22] demand
[2:19:23] transparency
[2:19:24] uphold
[2:19:25] accountability
[2:19:26] and
[2:19:27] ensure
[2:19:27] that
[2:19:27] all
[2:19:28] public
[2:19:28] officials
[2:19:29] remain
[2:19:29] unsellerable
[2:19:30] to the
[2:19:30] Filipino
[2:19:31] people.
[2:19:31] We
[2:19:32] must
[2:19:33] be
[2:19:33] mindful
[2:19:33] of
[2:19:34] the
[2:19:34] weight
[2:19:34] of
[2:19:34] this
[2:19:35] constitutional
[2:19:36] remedy.
[2:19:37] Impeachment
[2:19:38] is not
[2:19:38] a routine
[2:19:39] instrument
[2:19:40] of
[2:19:40] political
[2:19:40] contest.
[2:19:42] It
[2:19:42] is
[2:19:42] an
[2:19:43] extraordinary
[2:19:43] measure
[2:19:44] reserved
[2:19:45] for the
[2:19:46] most
[2:19:46] compelling
[2:19:47] circumstances
[2:19:48] to lower
[2:19:49] its threshold
[2:19:50] risks
[2:19:51] weakening
[2:19:51] the very
[2:19:52] institution
[2:19:53] it is
[2:19:53] meant
[2:19:54] to
[2:19:54] protect.
[2:19:55] We
[2:19:56] also
[2:19:56] recognize
[2:19:57] that
[2:19:57] the
[2:19:57] office
[2:19:58] of the
[2:19:58] Vice
[2:19:58] President
[2:19:59] carries
[2:20:00] the
[2:20:00] sovereign
[2:20:00] mandate
[2:20:01] of nearly
[2:20:02] 32
[2:20:02] million
[2:20:03] Filipinos.
[2:20:05] Any
[2:20:05] effort
[2:20:05] to remove
[2:20:06] its
[2:20:06] occupant
[2:20:07] must
[2:20:07] respect
[2:20:08] the
[2:20:08] will
[2:20:08] of
[2:20:09] the
[2:20:09] electorate
[2:20:09] for
[2:20:10] any
[2:20:10] democracy
[2:20:11] legitimacy
[2:20:12] is
[2:20:12] ultimately
[2:20:13] rooted
[2:20:13] in
[2:20:14] the
[2:20:14] voice
[2:20:14] of
[2:20:15] the
[2:20:15] people
[2:20:15] Vox
[2:20:16] Fapulay
[2:20:17] Vox
[2:20:18] Dei.
[2:20:19] But
[2:20:19] beyond
[2:20:19] the
[2:20:20] legal
[2:20:20] and
[2:20:20] institutional
[2:20:21] questions
[2:20:22] we
[2:20:23] are
[2:20:23] confronted
[2:20:23] today
[2:20:24] with
[2:20:24] a
[2:20:25] deeper
[2:20:25] national
[2:20:26] reality.
[2:20:27] Our
[2:20:28] people
[2:20:28] are
[2:20:28] wary.
[2:20:29] They
[2:20:29] face
[2:20:30] rising
[2:20:30] prices.
[2:20:31] economic
[2:20:32] strain
[2:20:33] and
[2:20:34] declining
[2:20:34] trust
[2:20:34] in
[2:20:35] public
[2:20:35] institutions.
[2:20:37] We
[2:20:37] must
[2:20:38] therefore
[2:20:38] ask
[2:20:39] ourselves
[2:20:39] with
[2:20:40] honesty
[2:20:40] and
[2:20:40] sobriety
[2:20:41] what
[2:20:42] lies
[2:20:43] ahead
[2:20:43] after
[2:20:44] this
[2:20:44] moment.
[2:20:45] Will
[2:20:46] it
[2:20:46] ease
[2:20:46] the
[2:20:46] burdens
[2:20:47] of
[2:20:47] our
[2:20:47] citizens
[2:20:47] or
[2:20:48] deepen
[2:20:49] the
[2:20:49] divisions
[2:20:49] we
[2:20:50] already
[2:20:50] carry?
[2:20:51] Will
[2:20:52] it
[2:20:52] bring
[2:20:52] us
[2:20:52] closer
[2:20:53] to
[2:20:53] solution
[2:20:53] or
[2:20:54] further
[2:20:54] away
[2:20:55] from
[2:20:55] the
[2:20:55] urgent
[2:20:56] needs
[2:20:56] of
[2:20:56] our
[2:20:56] nation?
[2:20:58] Beyond
[2:20:58] these
[2:20:59] halls,
[2:21:00] our
[2:21:00] citizens
[2:21:00] continue
[2:21:01] to
[2:21:01] struggle
[2:21:02] with
[2:21:03] the
[2:21:03] rising
[2:21:03] cost
[2:21:03] of
[2:21:03] food,
[2:21:04] fuel,
[2:21:05] and
[2:21:05] basic
[2:21:05] commodities.
[2:21:07] They
[2:21:07] seek
[2:21:07] not
[2:21:07] prolonged
[2:21:08] political
[2:21:08] conflict,
[2:21:09] but
[2:21:09] relief,
[2:21:10] stability,
[2:21:11] and
[2:21:11] responsive
[2:21:12] governance.
[2:21:14] Perhaps
[2:21:14] then,
[2:21:15] this is
[2:21:15] a
[2:21:15] moment
[2:21:15] that
[2:21:16] calls
[2:21:17] us
[2:21:17] not
[2:21:17] only
[2:21:17] to
[2:21:18] decide,
[2:21:18] but
[2:21:18] to
[2:21:19] reflect,
[2:21:19] not
[2:21:20] only
[2:21:20] to
[2:21:20] proceed,
[2:21:21] but
[2:21:21] to
[2:21:21] reset.
[2:21:22] Though
[2:21:23] it
[2:21:23] may
[2:21:23] seem
[2:21:23] impossible
[2:21:24] at
[2:21:24] this
[2:21:24] point,
[2:21:26] but
[2:21:26] in
[2:21:26] the
[2:21:26] inner
[2:21:26] recesses
[2:21:27] of my
[2:21:27] heart,
[2:21:28] I
[2:21:28] remain
[2:21:29] deeply
[2:21:30] hopeful.
[2:21:31] A
[2:21:32] reset
[2:21:32] in
[2:21:33] our
[2:21:33] politics
[2:21:33] so
[2:21:34] that
[2:21:34] it
[2:21:34] may
[2:21:34] return
[2:21:35] to
[2:21:35] its
[2:21:35] rightful
[2:21:35] purpose.
[2:21:37] A
[2:21:37] reset
[2:21:37] in
[2:21:37] our
[2:21:38] priorities
[2:21:38] so
[2:21:39] that
[2:21:39] the
[2:21:39] burden
[2:21:39] of
[2:21:39] our
[2:21:39] people
[2:21:40] stand
[2:21:41] at
[2:21:41] the
[2:21:41] center
[2:21:42] of
[2:21:42] our
[2:21:42] deliberations.
[2:21:44] A
[2:21:44] reset
[2:21:44] in
[2:21:45] our
[2:21:45] tone
[2:21:45] so
[2:21:46] that
[2:21:46] disagreement
[2:21:47] does
[2:21:47] not
[2:21:47] become
[2:21:48] division
[2:21:48] and
[2:21:49] difference
[2:21:49] does
[2:21:50] not
[2:21:50] become
[2:21:50] rupture.
[2:21:51] We
[2:21:52] are
[2:21:52] one
[2:21:52] nation
[2:21:53] before
[2:21:53] anything
[2:21:54] else
[2:21:54] and
[2:21:55] the
[2:21:55] strength
[2:21:56] of
[2:21:56] that
[2:21:56] nation
[2:21:56] lies
[2:21:57] not
[2:21:58] in
[2:21:58] the
[2:21:58] uniformity
[2:21:59] of
[2:21:59] our
[2:21:59] views
[2:22:00] but
[2:22:01] in
[2:22:01] our
[2:22:01] capacity
[2:22:02] to
[2:22:02] rise
[2:22:02] above
[2:22:03] them
[2:22:03] when
[2:22:04] the
[2:22:04] circumstances
[2:22:05] of
[2:22:05] our
[2:22:05] people
[2:22:06] demand
[2:22:06] unity
[2:22:07] over
[2:22:07] fracture.
[2:22:09] In
[2:22:09] the
[2:22:09] end,
[2:22:10] the
[2:22:10] measure
[2:22:10] of
[2:22:10] this
[2:22:11] house
[2:22:11] will
[2:22:11] not
[2:22:11] be
[2:22:12] found
[2:22:12] in
[2:22:12] the
[2:22:13] intensity
[2:22:13] of
[2:22:13] our
[2:22:14] disagreements
[2:22:14] but
[2:22:15] in
[2:22:15] weather
[2:22:16] in
[2:22:16] moments
[2:22:16] of
[2:22:17] national
[2:22:17] strain
[2:22:18] we
[2:22:18] chose
[2:22:19] the
[2:22:19] path
[2:22:19] that
[2:22:19] preserved
[2:22:20] cohesion
[2:22:20] strengthened
[2:22:22] institution
[2:22:22] and
[2:22:23] gave
[2:22:23] people
[2:22:24] space
[2:22:24] to
[2:22:25] hope
[2:22:25] again.
[2:22:26] Finally,
[2:22:27] what
[2:22:27] our
[2:22:28] nation
[2:22:28] needs
[2:22:29] today
[2:22:29] is
[2:22:30] calm
[2:22:30] not
[2:22:31] conflict
[2:22:31] unity
[2:22:32] not
[2:22:33] division.
[2:22:34] In
[2:22:34] time
[2:22:35] of
[2:22:35] economic
[2:22:35] strain
[2:22:36] and
[2:22:36] institutional
[2:22:37] challenges
[2:22:38] our
[2:22:39] duty
[2:22:39] is to
[2:22:40] steady
[2:22:40] the
[2:22:41] course
[2:22:41] of
[2:22:41] government
[2:22:42] and
[2:22:43] remain
[2:22:43] firmly
[2:22:44] focused
[2:22:45] on
[2:22:46] delivering
[2:22:46] meaningful
[2:22:47] solution
[2:22:47] for
[2:22:48] our
[2:22:48] people.
[2:22:49] It
[2:22:49] is
[2:22:49] in
[2:22:50] the
[2:22:50] spirit
[2:22:50] that
[2:22:51] I
[2:22:51] am
[2:22:51] reminded
[2:22:52] of
[2:22:52] the
[2:22:52] guiding
[2:22:52] wisdom
[2:22:53] of
[2:22:53] the
[2:22:53] Supreme
[2:22:53] Court.
[2:22:54] There
[2:22:55] is
[2:22:55] a
[2:22:55] right
[2:22:55] way
[2:22:56] to
[2:22:56] do
[2:22:56] the
[2:22:56] right
[2:22:56] thing
[2:22:57] at
[2:22:57] the
[2:22:57] right
[2:22:57] time
[2:22:58] that
[2:22:58] is
[2:22:58] inherent
[2:22:59] in
[2:22:59] the
[2:22:59] rule
[2:23:00] of
[2:23:00] law
[2:23:00] that
[2:23:00] is
[2:23:01] inherent
[2:23:01] in
[2:23:01] the
[2:23:01] rule
[2:23:02] of
[2:23:02] justice.
[2:23:02] For
[2:23:03] these
[2:23:03] reasons,
[2:23:04] with full
[2:23:05] respect for
[2:23:06] differing views
[2:23:07] of my
[2:23:07] colleagues,
[2:23:08] I cast
[2:23:09] my vote
[2:23:09] low to
[2:23:10] the
[2:23:10] articles
[2:23:11] of
[2:23:11] impeachment.
[2:23:12] Maraming
[2:23:12] salamat.
[2:23:13] Before we
[2:23:13] proceed,
[2:23:14] I'd like
[2:23:14] to
[2:23:14] greet
[2:23:15] the
[2:23:15] guest
[2:23:16] of
[2:23:17] our
[2:23:17] deputy
[2:23:17] minority
[2:23:18] leader,
[2:23:20] Sergio
[2:23:20] Dagook,
[2:23:21] from

[2:23:39] Tinambakan.
[2:23:41] Welcome to
[2:23:41] the House
[2:23:42] of Representatives.
[2:23:45] Majority
[2:23:45] Leader.
[2:23:47] Mr.
[2:23:48] Speaker,
[2:23:48] I move
[2:23:48] to recognize
[2:23:49] Representative
[2:23:50] Percy
[2:23:51] Sandania
[2:23:51] of
[2:23:52] Partilist
[2:23:52] Akbayan
[2:23:53] to explain
[2:23:55] his vote.
[2:23:56] Honorable
[2:23:57] Percy
[2:23:59] Sandania
[2:24:00] of
[2:24:01] Partilist
[2:24:02] is hereby
[2:24:02] recognized.
[2:24:05] Mr.
[2:24:05] Speaker,
[2:24:06] my dear
[2:24:06] colleagues,
[2:24:08] initiating
[2:24:09] an impeachment
[2:24:09] case is
[2:24:10] not part
[2:24:11] of our
[2:24:11] ordinary
[2:24:12] work.
[2:24:13] Not
[2:24:13] every
[2:24:13] Congress
[2:24:14] we hold
[2:24:15] a high
[2:24:15] official
[2:24:16] accountable.
[2:24:18] Not
[2:24:18] every
[2:24:18] Congress
[2:24:19] we conduct
[2:24:19] hearings to
[2:24:20] determine
[2:24:20] improbable
[2:24:21] cause.
[2:24:22] Not
[2:24:22] every
[2:24:23] Congress
[2:24:23] we write
[2:24:24] articles
[2:24:24] of
[2:24:25] impeachment.
[2:24:26] But
[2:24:27] this
[2:24:27] Congress
[2:24:28] we answer
[2:24:29] the call
[2:24:29] of our
[2:24:30] people
[2:24:30] in our
[2:24:31] Constitution.
[2:24:33] And
[2:24:33] while we
[2:24:33] are doing
[2:24:34] the task
[2:24:34] we are
[2:24:35] called
[2:24:36] names.
[2:24:37] Maleta,
[2:24:38] Crocs,
[2:24:39] Baklang
[2:24:40] Nghiwi.
[2:24:41] Our
[2:24:41] integrity
[2:24:42] was
[2:24:42] questioned.
[2:24:44] Paldo
[2:24:44] na
[2:24:44] naman.
[2:24:45] Marami
[2:24:45] daw
[2:24:46] nag-withdraw
[2:24:46] ng
[2:24:46] boto.
[2:24:47] Congress
[2:24:48] na bahag
[2:24:48] ang
[2:24:49] buntot.
[2:24:50] We
[2:24:50] are
[2:24:50] subjected
[2:24:51] to
[2:24:51] mockery
[2:24:52] and
[2:24:52] legal
[2:24:52] harassment.
[2:24:54] Ginawa
[2:24:54] tayong
[2:24:54] memes
[2:24:55] that
[2:24:55] were
[2:24:55] AI
[2:24:56] generated
[2:24:56] all in
[2:24:58] the name
[2:24:58] of
[2:24:59] doing
[2:24:59] our
[2:24:59] sacred
[2:25:00] constitutional
[2:25:01] duty.
[2:25:02] Pero
[2:25:03] bukas tayo
[2:25:04] sa mga
[2:25:04] panguusing.
[2:25:06] Bukas tayo
[2:25:07] sa mga
[2:25:07] pangungutia.
[2:25:09] Bukas tayo
[2:25:09] sa mga katulad
[2:25:10] nating
[2:25:10] inip na inip
[2:25:11] na sa
[2:25:12] katotohanan.
[2:25:14] At
[2:25:14] habang
[2:25:14] nandito tayo
[2:25:15] sa
[2:25:15] Kongreso,
[2:25:16] nasaan
[2:25:17] si Inday
[2:25:17] Sara,
[2:25:19] naka-travel
[2:25:19] leave,
[2:25:20] naglalakwacha
[2:25:21] sa Netherlands,
[2:25:22] Korea,
[2:25:22] Belgium,
[2:25:23] Germany,
[2:25:24] at UK.
[2:25:25] Sa ilang
[2:25:26] araw ng
[2:25:26] pagdinignati
[2:25:27] ng impeachment
[2:25:28] sa
[2:25:28] kumite,
[2:25:29] ni hindi
[2:25:30] malang siya
[2:25:30] ayaw sinipot.
[2:25:31] She did
[2:25:32] not even
[2:25:32] give an
[2:25:33] ounce of
[2:25:33] respect to
[2:25:34] this
[2:25:34] eminent
[2:25:34] constitutional
[2:25:35] process.
[2:25:37] Betrayal of
[2:25:37] public trust,
[2:25:39] culpable
[2:25:39] violation of
[2:25:40] the
[2:25:40] constitution,
[2:25:42] bribery,
[2:25:43] graft and
[2:25:43] corruption,
[2:25:45] and other
[2:25:45] high crimes.
[2:25:47] These
[2:25:47] grounds are
[2:25:48] no joke,
[2:25:50] no joke.
[2:25:52] They
[2:25:52] don't
[2:25:52] deserve,
[2:25:53] we don't
[2:25:54] deserve,
[2:25:54] VP
[2:25:55] no-show.
[2:25:56] As we

[2:25:57] this
[2:25:58] historical
[2:25:58] afternoon,
[2:25:59] we are
[2:25:59] reminding
[2:26:00] the
[2:26:00] Filipino
[2:26:00] people
[2:26:01] what a
[2:26:02] public
[2:26:02] official
[2:26:03] should
[2:26:03] be.
[2:26:03] When asked
[2:26:05] bakit
[2:26:05] natin
[2:26:06] ito
[2:26:06] ginagawa,
[2:26:07] we answer
[2:26:08] because we
[2:26:09] are raising
[2:26:09] the standard
[2:26:10] of public
[2:26:11] office.
[2:26:12] Sinasabi
[2:26:13] natin
[2:26:13] hindi
[2:26:13] ganito
[2:26:14] ang gusto
[2:26:14] nating

[2:26:16] Ayaw
[2:26:16] natin
[2:26:17] sa

[2:26:17] na
[2:26:17] billionaire
[2:26:18] pala
[2:26:19] pero
[2:26:19] hindi
[2:26:19] nagde-deklara.
[2:26:21] Ayaw
[2:26:21] natin

[2:26:23] ng
[2:26:23] pagpatay
[2:26:24] sa
[2:26:24] harap
[2:26:24] ng
[2:26:24] media.
[2:26:25] Ayaw
[2:26:26] natin
[2:26:26] sa

[2:27:48] only
[2:27:48] 2028
[2:27:49] presidential
[2:27:49] candidate
[2:27:50] who is
[2:27:50] capable
[2:27:51] of

[2:27:53] Sarah
[2:27:53] Duterte
[2:27:54] is our
[2:27:54] nation's
[2:27:55] most vocal
[2:27:55] anti-corruption
[2:27:56] figure,

[2:27:58] massive
[2:27:58] flood
[2:27:59] control
[2:27:59] corruption
[2:27:59] in the
[2:28:00] 2025

[2:28:10] figure all
[2:28:11] throughout
[2:28:11] our
[2:28:11] country,
[2:28:12] which is
[2:28:12] reflected
[2:28:13] in the
[2:28:13] survey
[2:28:13] results
[2:28:14] which
[2:28:14] consistently
[2:28:14] place
[2:28:15] her
[2:28:15] as
[2:28:15] her
[2:28:16] number
[2:28:16] one
[2:28:16] presidential
[2:28:17] candidate
[2:28:17] for

[2:28:20] congratulating
[2:28:21] her
[2:28:21] for
[2:28:21] these
[2:28:22] achievements,

[2:28:23] seek
[2:28:23] to
[2:28:23] remove
[2:28:24] her,
[2:28:25] as
[2:28:25] you
[2:28:25] believe
[2:28:25] that
[2:28:25] her
[2:28:25] presidential
[2:28:26] ambitions
[2:28:26] will
[2:28:27] interfere
[2:28:27] with
[2:28:27] the
[2:28:27] traditional
[2:28:28] political
[2:28:28] practices
[2:28:29] that
[2:28:29] our
[2:28:29] nation
[2:28:30] has
[2:28:30] grown
[2:28:30] accustomed
[2:28:31] to.
[2:28:32] Vice
[2:28:33] President
[2:28:33] Sarah
[2:28:33] Duterte
[2:28:34] is the
[2:28:34] hope
[2:28:34] of our

[2:28:35] She
[2:28:36] is an
[2:28:36] accomplished
[2:28:36] lawyer
[2:28:36] who
[2:28:37] deeply
[2:28:37] cares
[2:28:37] for
[2:28:37] our
[2:28:38] people,
[2:28:38] as
[2:28:38] I
[2:28:39] personally
[2:28:39] witnessed
[2:28:39] when
[2:28:40] I
[2:28:40] visited
[2:28:40] her
[2:28:40] in
[2:28:41] Davao
[2:28:41] City.
[2:28:42] I
[2:28:42] will
[2:28:42] not
[2:28:42] waste
[2:28:43] our
[2:28:43] nation's
[2:28:43] future,

[2:31:13] bigat
[2:31:14] ng
[2:31:14] sistema
[2:31:15] dapat
[2:31:15] magbigay
[2:31:16] ng
[2:31:16] hustisya
[2:31:16] para
[2:31:17] sa
[2:31:17] lahat.
[2:31:18] Pero
[2:31:18] sa
[2:31:18] kasalukuyan,
[2:31:20] may
[2:31:20] mga
[2:31:20] taong
[2:31:21] dekada
[2:31:22] nang
[2:31:23] nakakulong
[2:31:23] para
[2:31:24] sa
[2:31:24] mga
[2:31:24] mas
[2:31:25] magagaan
[2:31:25] na
[2:31:25] krimen.
[2:31:27] Pero
[2:31:27] dahil
[2:31:27] mahirap,
[2:31:28] walang
[2:31:28] abugado
[2:31:29] at
[2:31:29] nabubulok
[2:31:30] sa
[2:31:30] piitan.
[2:31:32] May
[2:31:32] mga

[2:31:33] ng
[2:31:33] mga
[2:31:34] mas
[2:31:39] o
[2:31:39] kaya
[2:31:40] naman
[2:31:40] dahil

[2:31:41] na
[2:31:41] kapit
[2:31:41] nila
[2:31:41] sa
[2:31:41] pangyarihan.
[2:31:44] Yung
[2:31:44] mahirap
[2:31:44] na
[2:31:44] nagnakaw
[2:31:45] ng
[2:31:45] delata
[2:31:46] kulong
[2:31:46] agad,
[2:31:47] pero
[2:31:47] yung
[2:31:47] mataas
[2:31:48] na
[2:31:48] opisyal
[2:31:48] na
[2:31:49] nagnakaw
[2:31:49] ng
[2:31:49] milyon
[2:31:50] milyon
[2:31:50] sa
[2:31:50] kabang
[2:31:51] yaman
[2:31:51] nakakalusot?
[2:31:53] Hindi po
[2:31:54] pwede
[2:31:54] ng
[2:31:54] ganon,
[2:31:55] Mr.
[2:31:55] Speaker.
[2:31:56] This
[2:31:57] is
[2:31:57] about
[2:31:57] justice,
[2:31:58] yes,
[2:31:58] but
[2:31:59] more
[2:31:59] importantly,
[2:32:00] ako,
[2:32:01] kaming
[2:32:01] kabataan,
[2:32:02] tayo,
[2:32:03] ginagawa
[2:32:03] natin
[2:32:04] to para
[2:32:04] hindi
[2:32:04] na
[2:32:04] maulit
[2:32:05] to,
[2:32:06] para
[2:32:06] sa
[2:32:06] isang
[2:32:06] kinabukasang
[2:32:07] hindi
[2:32:08] na
[2:32:08] muling
[2:32:08] gagamitin
[2:32:09] ang
[2:32:09] pera
[2:32:10] ng
[2:32:10] bayan
[2:32:11] para
[2:32:11] sa
[2:32:11] makitid
[2:32:12] na
[2:32:12] pansariling
[2:32:13] interes
[2:32:14] ng
[2:32:14] ilan.
[2:32:15] Tanong
[2:32:15] ng
[2:32:15] iba,
[2:32:16] makakain
[2:32:16] ba
[2:32:17] ang
[2:32:17] impeachment,
[2:32:17] Mr.
[2:32:18] Speaker?
[2:32:18] Ang
[2:32:19] sagot
[2:32:19] natin
[2:32:19] dyan
[2:32:19] ay
[2:32:20] kung
[2:32:20] matagumpay
[2:32:21] na
[2:32:21] mapanagot
[2:32:22] natin
[2:32:22] ang
[2:32:22] mga
[2:32:23] magnanakaw
[2:32:23] at
[2:32:24] maibalik
[2:32:24] ang
[2:32:25] ninakaw
[2:32:25] na
[2:32:25] pera
[2:32:26] sa
[2:32:26] taong
[2:32:26] bayan,
[2:32:27] mabibigyan
[2:32:28] ng
[2:32:28] nararapat
[2:32:29] na
[2:32:29] serbisyo
[2:32:29] at
[2:32:30] suporta
[2:32:30] ang
[2:32:30] mga
[2:32:31] kababayang
[2:32:31] nagugutom.
[2:32:33] Kaya
[2:32:33] hindi kami
[2:32:33] papayag
[2:32:34] na
[2:32:34] ang
[2:32:34] kasaysayan
[2:32:35] ng
[2:32:35] ating
[2:32:35] generasyon
[2:32:36] ay

[2:32:39] ng
[2:32:39] isang

[2:32:40] sa
[2:32:41] bayan
[2:32:41] na
[2:32:42] piniling

[2:32:43] sa
[2:32:43] likod
[2:32:44] ng

[2:32:44] sa

[2:32:46] ang
[2:32:46] mga
[2:32:46] tanong
[2:32:47] sa
[2:32:47] kanyang
[2:32:47] pamumuno.

[2:33:06] nasa

[2:34:43] Thank

[2:34:45] Mr.
[2:34:45] Speaker,
[2:34:45] distinguished
[2:34:46] colleagues,
[2:34:47] isang
[2:34:47] maring
[2:34:48] oo
[2:34:48] ang
[2:34:49] aking
[2:34:50] pong
[2:34:50] boto
[2:34:50] upang
[2:34:51] pagtibayan
[2:34:52] ng
[2:34:52] resolusyon
[2:34:53] at
[2:34:53] Articles
[2:34:54] of
[2:34:54] Impeachment
[2:34:54] na
[2:34:55] isinumitin
[2:34:55] ng
[2:34:55] Committee
[2:34:56] on
[2:34:56] Justice.
[2:34:57] The
[2:34:57] Committee
[2:34:58] received
[2:34:58] voluminous
[2:34:59] documentary
[2:34:59] evidence,
[2:35:00] heard
[2:35:00] testimonies,
[2:35:01] examined
[2:35:02] audit
[2:35:03] findings,
[2:35:04] reviewed
[2:35:05] certifications
[2:35:05] from
[2:35:06] government
[2:35:06] agencies,
[2:35:07] and
[2:35:07] evaluated
[2:35:08] source
[2:35:09] statements
[2:35:09] and
[2:35:09] financial
[2:35:10] records.
[2:35:11] And
[2:35:11] after all
[2:35:12] these
[2:35:12] proceedings,
[2:35:12] the
[2:35:13] Committee
[2:35:13] found
[2:35:13] probable
[2:35:14] costs
[2:35:14] and
[2:35:15] approved
[2:35:15] the
[2:35:15] Articles
[2:35:16] of
[2:35:16] Impeachment.
[2:35:16] Mr.
[2:35:17] Mr. Speaker,
[2:35:18] Mr. Speaker,
[2:35:19] Malinaw nakita
[2:35:20] natin
[2:35:21] sa mga
[2:35:21] pagdinig.
[2:35:22] We saw
[2:35:23] evidence
[2:35:23] of
[2:35:23] misuse
[2:35:24] and
[2:35:24] abuse
[2:35:24] of
[2:35:25] confidential
[2:35:25] funds
[2:35:26] amounting
[2:35:26] to
[2:35:26] hundreds
[2:35:26] of
[2:35:27] millions
[2:35:27] of
[2:35:27] pesos.
[2:35:28] We
[2:35:28] heard
[2:35:29] testimony
[2:35:29] regarding
[2:35:30] questionable
[2:35:30] disbursements,
[2:35:32] fictitious
[2:35:32] identities,
[2:35:34] and
[2:35:34] liquidation
[2:35:34] documents
[2:35:35] with
[2:35:35] indications
[2:35:36] of
[2:35:36] falsehood
[2:35:37] and
[2:35:38] falsification.
[2:35:39] We
[2:35:39] examined
[2:35:40] evidence
[2:35:40] of
[2:35:40] unexplained
[2:35:41] wealth
[2:35:41] and
[2:35:42] billions
[2:35:42] in
[2:35:43] suspicious
[2:35:43] and
[2:35:44] covered
[2:35:44] transactions
[2:35:44] that
[2:35:45] are
[2:35:45] manifestly
[2:35:46] disproportionate
[2:35:47] to
[2:35:47] declared
[2:35:48] and
[2:35:48] known
[2:35:49] lawful
[2:35:49] income.
[2:35:50] And
[2:35:50] we
[2:35:50] confronted
[2:35:51] deeply
[2:35:52] disturbing
[2:35:52] threats
[2:35:53] and
[2:35:53] inflammatory
[2:35:53] rhetoric
[2:35:54] that
[2:35:55] target
[2:35:55] not
[2:35:56] only
[2:35:56] ranking
[2:35:56] public
[2:35:57] officials
[2:35:57] but
[2:35:58] attack
[2:35:58] the
[2:35:58] very
[2:35:59] heart
[2:35:59] of
[2:35:59] our
[2:35:59] constitutional
[2:36:00] order.
[2:36:01] Taken
[2:36:02] together,
[2:36:03] hindi po ito
[2:36:03] mga
[2:36:04] mababaw
[2:36:04] na
[2:36:05] paratang
[2:36:05] lamang.
[2:36:06] Hindi po
[2:36:07] ito
[2:36:07] mga
[2:36:07] isolated
[2:36:08] or
[2:36:09] random
[2:36:09] incidents
[2:36:10] lamang.
[2:36:11] These
[2:36:11] are
[2:36:11] patterns
[2:36:12] of
[2:36:12] bad
[2:36:12] behavior.
[2:36:14] These
[2:36:14] are
[2:36:14] habits
[2:36:14] of
[2:36:15] abuse
[2:36:15] of
[2:36:15] power.
[2:36:16] These
[2:36:16] are
[2:36:16] matters
[2:36:17] that
[2:36:17] go
[2:36:17] into
[2:36:18] the
[2:36:18] integrity,
[2:36:19] accountability,
[2:36:20] and
[2:36:20] fitness
[2:36:20] of a
[2:36:21] public
[2:36:21] official
[2:36:21] occupying
[2:36:22] the
[2:36:23] second
[2:36:23] highest
[2:36:23] position
[2:36:24] in
[2:36:25] our
[2:36:25] government.
[2:36:26] Mr.
[2:36:26] Speaker,
[2:36:27] let us
[2:36:27] also be
[2:36:27] clear,
[2:36:28] impeachment
[2:36:29] is not
[2:36:30] political
[2:36:31] persecution.
[2:36:32] It
[2:36:32] is not
[2:36:33] a
[2:36:33] partisan
[2:36:33] activity.
[2:36:35] It
[2:36:35] is a
[2:36:35] constitutional
[2:36:36] accountability
[2:36:37] mechanism.
[2:36:38] Mawawalan
[2:36:39] ng
[2:36:39] saysayang
[2:36:40] mandato
[2:36:40] at
[2:36:41] diwan
[2:36:41] ng
[2:36:41] pananagutan
[2:36:42] na
[2:36:43] nasa
[2:36:43] konstitusyon
[2:36:44] kung
[2:36:44] matapos
[2:36:45] makita
[2:36:45] ang
[2:36:46] ebidensya
[2:36:46] at
[2:36:47] magpasya
[2:36:47] sa
[2:36:47] komite
[2:36:48] na
[2:36:48] may
[2:36:49] sapat
[2:36:49] at
[2:36:49] makatwirang
[2:36:50] dahilan

[2:44:45] Mr. Speaker,
[2:44:47] Dear
[2:44:47] Colleagues,
[2:44:48] I rise
[2:44:49] to
[2:44:49] explain
[2:44:49] my

[2:44:50] on
[2:44:50] the

[2:44:51] report
[2:44:51] regarding
[2:44:52] the
[2:44:52] Articles
[2:44:53] of
[2:44:54] Impeachment
[2:44:54] against
[2:44:55] the
[2:44:55] Vice
[2:44:55] President.
[2:44:57] The
[2:44:57] Constitution
[2:44:58] reminds
[2:44:58] us
[2:44:59] that
[2:44:59] public
[2:45:00] office

[2:45:01] a
[2:45:01] public

[2:45:03] man

[2:45:04] ang
[2:45:05] posisyon,
[2:45:06] walang

[2:45:07] kesa
[2:45:07] sa
[2:45:08] ating

[2:45:09] batas.
[2:45:10] After
[2:45:10] a
[2:45:11] careful
[2:45:11] review
[2:45:12] of
[2:45:12] the
[2:45:12] findings
[2:45:13] presented
[2:45:13] by the
[2:45:14] Committee
[2:45:15] on Justice,
[2:45:16] it has
[2:45:16] been
[2:45:17] determined
[2:45:17] that
[2:45:18] probable
[2:45:19] cause
[2:45:19] exists
[2:45:20] based
[2:45:20] on
[2:45:21] the
[2:45:21] evidence.
[2:45:22] My
[2:45:22] yes
[2:45:23] vote
[2:45:23] today
[2:45:23] is the
[2:45:24] fulfillment
[2:45:24] of our
[2:45:25] specific
[2:45:26] duty
[2:45:27] in the
[2:45:27] House of
[2:45:28] Representatives
[2:45:29] to initiate

[2:45:36] the
[2:45:37] constitutional
[2:45:37] process
[2:45:38] moves
[2:45:39] forward.
[2:45:40] It
[2:45:40] should
[2:45:41] be
[2:45:41] noted
[2:45:41] that
[2:45:42] the
[2:45:42] House
[2:45:42] Committee
[2:45:43] on
[2:45:43] Justice
[2:45:44] has
[2:45:44] ensured

[2:45:49] in the

[2:50:06] hindi dapat
[2:50:06] idamay
[2:50:07] ang mga
[2:50:08] mamamayan
[2:50:08] sa boto
[2:50:10] ng bawat
[2:50:11] isa.
[2:50:11] Maraming
[2:50:12] salamat po.
[2:50:13] Majority
[2:50:14] Leader.
[2:50:15] Mr. Speaker,
[2:50:16] I move to
[2:50:17] recognize
[2:50:17] Representative
[2:50:18] Paolo
[2:50:18] Marcoleta
[2:50:19] of
[2:50:19] Saggit
[2:50:19] Partylist
[2:50:20] to explain
[2:50:20] his vote.
[2:50:21] Honorable
[2:50:21] Paolo
[2:50:23] Henry
[2:50:23] Marcoleta
[2:50:24] of
[2:50:25] Partylist
[2:50:25] Saggit
[2:50:26] is here
[2:50:26] by
[2:50:26] recognized.
[2:50:29] Thank you,
[2:50:30] Mr. Speaker,
[2:50:31] esteemed
[2:50:31] colleagues.
[2:50:33] I vote
[2:50:34] no to
[2:50:34] the committee
[2:50:35] report
[2:50:35] recommending
[2:50:36] the impeachment
[2:50:37] of
[2:50:37] Vice
[2:50:37] President
[2:50:38] Sara
[2:50:38] Duterte.
[2:50:39] I will
[2:50:40] not vote
[2:50:40] in favor
[2:50:41] of a
[2:50:41] committee
[2:50:42] report
[2:50:42] that is
[2:50:43] a product
[2:50:43] of a
[2:50:44] flawed
[2:50:44] deliberative
[2:50:46] process.
[2:50:47] Let me be
[2:50:48] clear,
[2:50:49] this vote
[2:50:50] is not a
[2:50:50] vote against
[2:50:51] accountability.
[2:50:52] This is a
[2:50:53] vote for
[2:50:53] constitutional
[2:50:54] discipline.
[2:50:56] Impeachment
[2:50:56] amendment is
[2:50:56] the gravest
[2:50:57] is the
[2:50:58] greatest
[2:50:59] remedy under
[2:51:01] our
[2:51:02] evidence
[2:51:03] gathered
[2:51:04] through a
[2:51:04] process
[2:51:04] that looks
[2:51:05] less like
[2:51:06] a
[2:51:06] constitutional
[2:51:07] proceeding
[2:51:07] and more
[2:51:09] like a
[2:51:09] fishing
[2:51:10] expedition.
[2:51:12] The
[2:51:12] vulnerability
[2:51:13] of this
[2:51:13] entire
[2:51:14] process
[2:51:14] is plain.
[2:51:16] The
[2:51:16] committee
[2:51:17] conducted
[2:51:17] hearings
[2:51:18] when both
[2:51:18] houses of
[2:51:19] congress
[2:51:19] were not
[2:51:20] in session.
[2:51:21] That alone
[2:51:22] raises serious
[2:51:23] questions on
[2:51:24] authority,
[2:51:25] timing,
[2:51:26] and
[2:51:26] regularity.
[2:51:26] Then,
[2:51:28] instead of
[2:51:29] remaining
[2:51:29] with the
[2:51:29] verified
[2:51:30] complaints
[2:51:30] and their
[2:51:31] attachments,
[2:51:32] the committee
[2:51:33] gathered new
[2:51:33] evidence,
[2:51:34] expanded the
[2:51:35] theory of
[2:51:36] the case,
[2:51:37] and built
[2:51:37] allegations beyond
[2:51:38] what the
[2:51:39] respondent was
[2:51:40] originally
[2:51:40] required to
[2:51:42] answer.
[2:51:44] Hindi pwede na
[2:51:44] magsimula tayo
[2:51:45] sa isang
[2:51:45] complaint,
[2:51:47] tapos habang
[2:51:47] tumatakbo ang
[2:51:48] hearing,
[2:51:48] palalawakin natin
[2:51:49] ang kaso
[2:51:50] hanggang maging
[2:51:51] ibang kaso
[2:51:52] na ito.
[2:51:53] Due
[2:51:53] process is not
[2:51:54] a technicality.
[2:51:56] It is the
[2:51:57] constitutional shield
[2:51:58] of every
[2:51:58] Filipino,
[2:51:59] including those
[2:52:00] we dislike,
[2:52:02] those we
[2:52:02] oppose,
[2:52:03] and those
[2:52:04] we fear
[2:52:04] politically.
[2:52:07] I am
[2:52:07] especially
[2:52:07] troubled by
[2:52:10] the
[2:52:10] Anti-Money
[2:52:10] Laundering
[2:52:11] Council
[2:52:12] disclosures.
[2:52:13] Section 8-A
[2:52:14] of the
[2:52:15] amended
[2:52:15] Anti-Money
[2:52:16] Laundering
[2:52:16] Act
[2:52:16] protects
[2:52:17] the
[2:52:17] information
[2:52:18] received
[2:52:18] or processed
[2:52:19] by the
[2:52:19] Council.
[2:52:21] If
[2:52:21] confidential
[2:52:21] financial
[2:52:22] intelligence
[2:52:23] reach this
[2:52:23] committee
[2:52:23] through a
[2:52:24] legally
[2:52:25] defective
[2:52:25] route,
[2:52:26] then we
[2:52:27] are being
[2:52:27] asked to
[2:52:28] rely on
[2:52:29] fruits of
[2:52:30] a poisonous
[2:52:30] tree.
[2:52:32] Isa pa,
[2:52:34] kung matibay
[2:52:35] at malakas
[2:52:37] ang committee
[2:52:38] report
[2:52:38] na ito,
[2:52:39] bakit
[2:52:39] kailangan
[2:52:40] mangako
[2:52:41] di
[2:52:41] umano
[2:52:41] ng
[2:52:42] pabuya,
[2:52:43] tulad
[2:52:44] ng pera,
[2:52:45] dagdag
[2:52:45] allowances,
[2:52:47] at release
[2:52:47] ng projects
[2:52:48] sa mga
[2:52:49] boboto
[2:52:49] ng
[2:52:50] yes,
[2:52:51] at
[2:52:51] mananakot
[2:52:51] na hindi
[2:52:52] i-release
[2:52:53] ang mga
[2:52:53] projects,
[2:52:54] at
[2:52:54] baka
[2:52:55] kakasuan
[2:52:55] daw
[2:52:55] ang mga
[2:52:56] boboto
[2:52:57] ng
[2:52:57] no.
[2:52:57] Sa lahat
[2:53:00] ng
[2:53:00] boboto
[2:53:01] ng
[2:53:01] yes,
[2:53:02] ito
[2:53:02] daw,
[2:53:03] reportedly,
[2:53:03] ang
[2:53:04] gandi
[2:53:04] pa lang
[2:53:04] kanilang
[2:53:04] matatanggap,
[2:53:06] 20
[2:53:06] million
[2:53:07] cash
[2:53:07] incentives,
[2:53:08] 5
[2:53:08] million
[2:53:09] additional
[2:53:09] MOOE,
[2:53:10] and 200
[2:53:11] million
[2:53:11] additional
[2:53:12] projects.
[2:53:14] Kung
[2:53:14] totoo
[2:53:14] man
[2:53:14] ito,
[2:53:16] sa
[2:53:16] cash
[2:53:16] incentive
[2:53:17] pa lang
[2:53:17] at
[2:53:17] additional
[2:53:18] MOOE,
[2:53:19] at
[2:53:19] kung
[2:53:19] 200
[2:53:20] plus
[2:53:20] ang
[2:53:20] bumoto
[2:53:21] ng
[2:53:21] yes,
[2:53:22] ay
[2:53:22] halos
[2:53:23] 6.3
[2:53:23] billion
[2:53:24] pesos
[2:53:24] na
[2:53:24] ang
[2:53:25] gagastusin
[2:53:26] para
[2:53:26] lang
[2:53:26] iparating
[2:53:26] sa
[2:53:27] Senado
[2:53:27] ang
[2:53:28] Articles
[2:53:28] of
[2:53:28] Impeachment.
[2:53:30] At
[2:53:30] tahimik pa
[2:53:31] din ang
[2:53:32] kamera
[2:53:32] sa
[2:53:33] trillion
[2:53:33] pisong
[2:53:34] flood
[2:53:34] control
[2:53:34] scam.
[2:53:36] Tapos
[2:53:36] galit
[2:53:36] na galit
[2:53:37] tayo
[2:53:37] at
[2:53:37] nag-iingay
[2:53:38] pagdating
[2:53:39] naman
[2:53:39] sa
[2:53:39] 125
[2:53:40] million
[2:53:41] at
[2:53:42] 600
[2:53:42] million
[2:53:42] confidential
[2:53:43] funds
[2:53:43] ni
[2:53:43] BP
[2:53:44] Sara
[2:53:44] na
[2:53:44] wala
[2:53:45] namang
[2:53:45] direct
[2:53:45] ang
[2:53:45] ebidensyang
[2:53:46] ibinulsa
[2:53:47] niya
[2:53:47] ito.
[2:53:49] Kung
[2:53:49] buhay
[2:53:49] pa,
[2:53:50] kung
[2:53:51] buhay
[2:53:51] lang
[2:53:51] si
[2:53:51] General
[2:53:51] Luna
[2:53:52] sa
[2:53:53] kanyang
[2:53:53] karakter
[2:53:54] sa
[2:53:54] pelikula,
[2:53:55] baka
[2:53:55] nasigawan
[2:53:56] kayo.
[2:53:57] Anong
[2:53:57] klaseng
[2:53:58] kahipokrituhan
[2:53:59] ito?
[2:54:01] This
[2:54:01] impeachment
[2:54:01] process
[2:54:02] is not
[2:54:02] really
[2:54:02] for
[2:54:03] accountability.
[2:54:04] Far
[2:54:05] from it.
[2:54:06] This
[2:54:06] is an
[2:54:07] elimination
[2:54:08] of a
[2:54:08] formidable
[2:54:09] political
[2:54:10] rival
[2:54:10] using a
[2:54:11] whole
[2:54:12] of
[2:54:12] government
[2:54:12] approach.
[2:54:14] Ginagamit
[2:54:14] ang buong
[2:54:15] kwersa
[2:54:15] ng
[2:54:15] gobyerno,
[2:54:16] gumugugol
[2:54:17] ng
[2:54:17] bilyong
[2:54:17] bilyong
[2:54:18] piso
[2:54:18] ang pera
[2:54:18] ng
[2:54:18] taong
[2:54:19] bayan
[2:54:19] para
[2:54:20] kapitin,
[2:54:21] alisin
[2:54:21] sa
[2:54:22] pwesto
[2:54:22] ang
[2:54:22] taong
[2:54:22] takot
[2:54:23] na
[2:54:23] takot
[2:54:23] kayong
[2:54:24] maging
[2:54:24] presidente.
[2:54:26] Ano
[2:54:26] ba
[2:54:26] ang
[2:54:26] kinakatakot
[2:54:27] ang
[2:54:29] lakis
[2:54:29] siguro
[2:54:29] ng
[2:54:29] kasalanan
[2:54:30] ninyo
[2:54:31] sa
[2:54:31] mamamayang
[2:54:32] Pilipino?
[2:54:34] On the
[2:54:34] vice
[2:54:34] president's
[2:54:35] outburst,
[2:54:35] of course,
[2:54:37] public
[2:54:37] officials
[2:54:37] should
[2:54:38] speak
[2:54:38] with
[2:54:38] care,
[2:54:40] but we
[2:54:40] must
[2:54:40] be
[2:54:42] equally
[2:54:42] careful
[2:54:43] not
[2:54:43] to
[2:54:44] convert
[2:54:44] political
[2:54:44] speech,
[2:54:45] even
[2:54:45] harsh,
[2:54:46] angry,
[2:54:46] or
[2:54:47] offensive
[2:54:47] speech
[2:54:47] into
[2:54:48] an
[2:54:49] impeachable
[2:54:49] offense
[2:54:50] without
[2:54:50] proving
[2:54:51] intent,
[2:54:52] operational
[2:54:52] reality,
[2:54:53] and
[2:54:53] constitutional
[2:54:54] gravity.
[2:54:57] To
[2:54:57] end my
[2:54:57] speech,
[2:54:58] Mr.
[2:54:58] Speaker,
[2:54:59] hindi
[2:54:59] sapat
[2:55:00] ang
[2:55:03] para
[2:55:04] mapawalang
[2:55:04] visa
[2:55:05] ang
[2:55:05] pagkakuha
[2:55:06] niya
[2:55:07] ng
[2:55:07] pinakamalaking
[2:55:08] boto
[2:55:08] sa
[2:55:09] kasaysayan
[2:55:09] ng
[2:55:09] Pilipinas.
[2:55:11] Tatanggalin
[2:55:11] natin
[2:55:12] ang
[2:55:12] mandato
[2:55:12] mula
[2:55:13] sa
[2:55:13] 32,208,417
[2:55:17] na
[2:55:18] sambay
[2:55:18] ng
[2:55:18] Pilipino
[2:55:19] na
[2:55:19] nagtiwala
[2:55:20] at
[2:55:20] patuloy
[2:55:21] niya
[2:55:21] nagtitiwala
[2:55:22] kay
[2:55:22] Vice
[2:55:22] President
[2:55:23] Sarah.
[2:55:24] For
[2:55:25] these
[2:55:25] reasons,
[2:55:26] Mr.
[2:55:26] Speaker,
[2:55:27] I
[2:55:27] vote
[2:55:27] no.
[2:55:28] Impeachment
[2:55:28] must be
[2:55:29] strong
[2:55:29] enough
[2:55:30] to
[2:55:31] survive
[2:55:31] the
[2:55:31] Senate,
[2:55:32] the
[2:55:32] courts,
[2:55:33] and
[2:55:34] our
[2:55:34] history.
[2:55:34] This
[2:55:35] one
[2:55:35] is
[2:55:35] not.
[2:55:36] Thank
[2:55:36] you
[2:55:36] very
[2:55:37] much,
[2:55:37] Mr.
[2:55:37] Speaker.
[2:55:38] Majority
[2:55:38] Leader.
[2:55:41] Mr.
[2:55:41] Speaker,
[2:55:41] I
[2:55:41] move to
[2:55:42] recognize
[2:55:42] Representative
[2:55:43] Robert
[2:55:44] Nazal of
[2:55:44] BH
[2:55:45] Party
[2:55:45] List to
[2:55:45] explain his
[2:55:46] vote.
[2:55:47] Honorable
[2:55:47] Robert
[2:55:48] Nazal,
[2:55:49] BH
[2:55:49] Party
[2:55:49] List,
[2:55:49] is
[2:55:50] here by
[2:55:50] recognized.
[2:55:52] Thank
[2:55:52] you,
[2:55:52] Mr.
[2:55:53] Speaker.
[2:55:55] Mr.
[2:55:56] Speaker,
[2:55:56] distinguished
[2:55:57] colleagues,
[2:55:58] good afternoon.
[2:55:59] I rise to
[2:56:00] explain my
[2:56:01] vote of
[2:56:01] no to
[2:56:01] the
[2:56:02] articles of
[2:56:02] impeachment.
[2:56:04] This
[2:56:04] is not
[2:56:04] a vote
[2:56:05] against
[2:56:05] accountability,
[2:56:07] nor
[2:56:07] is it
[2:56:08] a vote
[2:56:08] for
[2:56:08] any
[2:56:08] personality.
[2:56:10] This
[2:56:10] is a vote
[2:56:11] for the
[2:56:11] Constitution,
[2:56:13] for due
[2:56:13] process,
[2:56:14] and for
[2:56:15] the
[2:56:15] principle
[2:56:15] that
[2:56:16] impeachment
[2:56:16] must
[2:56:17] never
[2:56:17] become
[2:56:18] a
[2:56:18] political
[2:56:18] weapon.
[2:56:20] Impeachment
[2:56:21] is the
[2:56:21] gravest
[2:56:22] constitutional
[2:56:22] remedy
[2:56:23] against
[2:56:24] an
[2:56:24] elected
[2:56:24] official.
[2:56:26] Precisely
[2:56:27] because
[2:56:27] it is
[2:56:27] grave,
[2:56:28] it must
[2:56:29] be founded
[2:56:29] on
[2:56:29] credible
[2:56:30] evidence
[2:56:30] and
[2:56:31] a
[2:56:31] fair
[2:56:31] process.
[2:56:33] Hindi
[2:56:33] sapat
[2:56:33] ang duda,
[2:56:35] haka-haka
[2:56:35] o
[2:56:36] ingay
[2:56:36] lamang.
[2:56:38] The
[2:56:38] complaints
[2:56:39] must
[2:56:39] stand or
[2:56:40] fall
[2:56:40] on their
[2:56:41] own
[2:56:41] allegations
[2:56:41] and
[2:56:42] supporting
[2:56:42] documents.
[2:56:43] Yet,
[2:56:45] several
[2:56:45] affidavits,
[2:56:46] reports,
[2:56:47] and alleged
[2:56:48] findings
[2:56:48] presented
[2:56:49] during the
[2:56:49] hearings,
[2:56:50] including
[2:56:51] AMLC
[2:56:52] reports,
[2:56:53] alleged
[2:56:53] NBI
[2:56:54] findings,
[2:56:55] and even
[2:56:55] the
[2:56:55] COA
[2:56:55] decision
[2:56:56] itself,
[2:56:57] were not
[2:56:58] attached to
[2:56:58] the
[2:56:58] original
[2:56:59] complaints.
[2:57:01] Worse,
[2:57:02] it appears
[2:57:02] that even
[2:57:03] evidence
[2:57:04] was later
[2:57:05] obtained
[2:57:06] to cure
[2:57:06] deficiencies
[2:57:07] in the
[2:57:07] complaints.
[2:57:10] That
[2:57:11] is a
[2:57:11] dangerous
[2:57:11] president.
[2:57:12] hindi
[2:57:13] pwedeng
[2:57:14] magsampamuna
[2:57:14] ng impeachment
[2:57:15] batay
[2:57:16] sa
[2:57:16] bare
[2:57:16] allegations
[2:57:17] tapos
[2:57:18] saka
[2:57:18] pa
[2:57:18] lamang
[2:57:19] hahanap
[2:57:19] ng
[2:57:19] ebidensya
[2:57:20] pagkatapos.
[2:57:22] That
[2:57:22] is not
[2:57:22] due
[2:57:22] process.
[2:57:24] Tulad
[2:57:24] nga
[2:57:24] ng
[2:57:24] sinabi
[2:57:25] ni
[2:57:25] Congressman
[2:57:27] Marco
[2:57:27] Leta,
[2:57:28] that
[2:57:28] is a
[2:57:28] fishing
[2:57:28] expedition.
[2:57:31] On
[2:57:31] the
[2:57:31] confidential
[2:57:32] funds
[2:57:32] issue,
[2:57:34] even
[2:57:34] Attorney
[2:57:35] Gloria
[2:57:35] Camora
[2:57:36] of the
[2:57:36] Commission
[2:57:36] on
[2:57:36] Audit
[2:57:37] confirmed
[2:57:37] during
[2:57:38] the
[2:57:38] hearings
[2:57:39] that
[2:57:40] there
[2:57:40] were
[2:57:40] no
[2:57:40] findings
[2:57:41] of
[2:57:41] misuse
[2:57:41] under
[2:57:42] the
[2:57:42] COA
[2:57:42] decision
[2:57:42] being
[2:57:43] cited.
[2:57:44] She
[2:57:44] likewise
[2:57:45] confirmed
[2:57:45] that
[2:57:47] the
[2:57:47] release
[2:57:47] of
[2:57:48] the
[2:57:48] confidential
[2:57:48] funds
[2:57:49] passed
[2:57:50] through
[2:57:50] proper
[2:57:51] approvals
[2:57:51] including
[2:57:53] the
[2:57:53] office
[2:57:53] of
[2:57:53] the
[2:57:53] president
[2:57:54] and
[2:57:55] the
[2:57:55] DBM.
[2:57:57] More
[2:57:57] importantly,
[2:57:59] the
[2:57:59] COA
[2:57:59] decision
[2:57:59] is not
[2:58:00] yet
[2:58:00] final.
[2:58:02] A
[2:58:02] notice
[2:58:03] of
[2:58:03] this
[2:58:03] allowance
[2:58:04] is
[2:58:04] not
[2:58:04] is
[2:58:05] an
[2:58:05] audit
[2:58:05] action.
[2:58:06] It
[2:58:07] is
[2:58:07] not
[2:58:07] automatically
[2:58:07] corruption.
[2:58:09] It
[2:58:09] is
[2:58:09] not
[2:58:09] automatically
[2:58:10] theft.
[2:58:11] It
[2:58:11] is
[2:58:11] not
[2:58:12] automatically
[2:58:12] an
[2:58:13] impeachable
[2:58:14] offense.
[2:58:16] Dito
[2:58:16] nga
[2:58:16] sa
[2:58:16] sariling
[2:58:17] bakura
[2:58:17] natin,
[2:58:19] liquidation
[2:58:20] certification
[2:58:20] lang
[2:58:20] ang
[2:58:21] ginagawa
[2:58:21] natin.
[2:58:23] Pero
[2:58:23] sigurado
[2:58:23] ako
[2:58:24] na tayo
[2:58:25] ang
[2:58:25] unang
[2:58:25] magsasabi
[2:58:26] na hindi
[2:58:27] ibig
[2:58:27] sabihin
[2:58:27] na may
[2:58:28] corruption
[2:58:28] doon.
[2:58:30] On
[2:58:30] the
[2:58:30] AMLC
[2:58:31] reports,
[2:58:32] we
[2:58:32] must
[2:58:32] also
[2:58:33] be
[2:58:33] careful
[2:58:33] not
[2:58:33] to
[2:58:33] mischaracterize
[2:58:35] covered
[2:58:35] and
[2:58:36] suspicious
[2:58:36] transactions
[2:58:37] as
[2:58:38] automatic
[2:58:38] proof
[2:58:38] of
[2:58:39] wrongdoing.
[2:58:41] Suspicion
[2:58:41] is not
[2:58:42] proof,
[2:58:42] allegation
[2:58:43] is not
[2:58:43] conviction.
[2:58:45] In
[2:58:45] fact,
[2:58:46] even
[2:58:46] the
[2:58:46] AMLC
[2:58:47] information
[2:58:48] sharing
[2:58:48] report
[2:58:48] itself
[2:58:49] reportedly
[2:58:50] refers
[2:58:51] to a
[2:58:51] BPI
[2:58:52] letter
[2:58:52] explaining
[2:58:53] that
[2:58:54] a
[2:58:54] supposed
[2:58:55] 2
[2:58:55] billion
[2:58:55] transaction
[2:58:56] was
[2:58:56] actually
[2:58:57] the
[2:58:57] result
[2:58:58] of
[2:58:58] a
[2:58:59] system
[2:58:59] error
[2:59:00] and
[2:59:00] that
[2:59:00] the
[2:59:01] real
[2:59:01] amount
[2:59:01] involved
[2:59:02] was
[2:59:02] only
[2:59:02] around
[2:59:03] 2
[2:59:03] million
[2:59:03] pesos.
[2:59:03] Yet
[2:59:04] this
[2:59:05] annex
[2:59:06] was
[2:59:06] allegedly
[2:59:06] not
[2:59:07] included
[2:59:08] in
[2:59:08] the
[2:59:08] materials
[2:59:09] furnished
[2:59:09] to
[2:59:09] the
[2:59:09] members
[2:59:10] of
[2:59:10] the
[2:59:10] House.
[2:59:12] At
[2:59:12] the
[2:59:12] very
[2:59:12] least,
[2:59:13] it
[2:59:14] raises
[2:59:14] serious
[2:59:14] questions
[2:59:15] regarding
[2:59:15] the
[2:59:15] completeness,
[2:59:17] fairness,
[2:59:18] and integrity
[2:59:20] of the
[2:59:21] evidence
[2:59:21] being
[2:59:21] presented
[2:59:22] against
[2:59:22] the
[2:59:22] Vice
[2:59:23] President.
[2:59:25] The
[2:59:25] same
[2:59:25] principle
[2:59:26] applies
[2:59:26] to the
[2:59:26] alleged
[2:59:27] SAL-EN
[2:59:27] issues.
[2:59:29] A
[2:59:29] discrepancy
[2:59:29] relating
[2:59:30] to a
[2:59:30] SAL-EN
[2:59:31] does not
[2:59:31] automatically
[2:59:32] amount
[2:59:32] to an
[2:59:33] impeachable
[2:59:33] offense.
[2:59:35] Our
[2:59:35] laws
[2:59:35] allow
[2:59:36] amendments
[2:59:36] and
[2:59:37] corrections
[2:59:37] to
[2:59:37] SAL-EN
[2:59:38] when
[2:59:38] necessary.
[2:59:39] which,
[2:59:47] to my
[2:59:47] mind,
[2:59:48] has not
[2:59:48] been
[2:59:48] sufficiently
[2:59:49] established
[2:59:51] in this
[2:59:51] case
[2:59:52] against
[2:59:52] the
[2:59:52] Vice
[2:59:52] President.
[2:59:54] On
[2:59:54] the
[2:59:55] alleged
[2:59:55] threats,
[2:59:56] the
[2:59:56] Vice
[2:59:56] President's
[2:59:57] designated
[2:59:57] survivor
[2:59:58] remark
[2:59:58] made
[2:59:59] in jest
[2:59:59] was
[3:00:00] clearly
[3:00:00] made
[3:00:00] in
[3:00:00] reference
[3:00:01] to
[3:00:01] the
[3:00:01] constitutional
[3:00:02] role
[3:00:02] of
[3:00:02] the
[3:00:02] Vice
[3:00:03] President
[3:00:03] to
[3:00:04] assume
[3:00:04] the
[3:00:04] presidency
[3:00:05] in
[3:00:05] case
[3:00:05] of
[3:00:06] death,
[3:00:06] resignation,
[3:00:07] removal,
[3:00:08] or
[3:00:08] incapacity
[3:00:08] of the
[3:00:09] President.
[3:00:10] The
[3:00:11] issue
[3:00:11] today
[3:00:11] is
[3:00:11] not
[3:00:11] whether
[3:00:12] one
[3:00:12] supports
[3:00:12] or
[3:00:13] opposes
[3:00:13] Vice
[3:00:13] President
[3:00:14] Sarah
[3:00:15] Zimmerman
[3:00:15] Duterte.
[3:00:16] The
[3:00:17] deeper
[3:00:17] question
[3:00:17] is
[3:00:18] whether
[3:00:18] this
[3:00:18] House
[3:00:19] will
[3:00:19] defend
[3:00:20] the
[3:00:20] integrity
[3:00:20] of
[3:00:21] impeachment
[3:00:21] itself.
[3:00:23] Will
[3:00:23] we
[3:00:23] respect
[3:00:24] the
[3:00:24] line
[3:00:24] between
[3:00:25] the
[3:00:25] House
[3:00:25] initiation
[3:00:26] and
[3:00:27] Senate
[3:00:27] trial?
[3:00:28] Will
[3:00:28] we
[3:00:29] choose
[3:00:29] law
[3:00:29] over
[3:00:29] noise,
[3:00:31] evidence
[3:00:31] over
[3:00:32] accusation,
[3:00:33] and
[3:00:33] fairness
[3:00:33] over
[3:00:34] expediency?
[3:00:36] Let
[3:00:36] it
[3:00:36] not
[3:00:36] be
[3:00:36] said
[3:00:37] that
[3:00:38] at
[3:00:38] this
[3:00:38] crucial
[3:00:38] time
[3:00:39] in
[3:00:39] our
[3:00:39] democracy,
[3:00:40] this
[3:00:40] House
[3:00:41] lowered
[3:00:41] the
[3:00:41] constitutional
[3:00:42] standard
[3:00:42] because
[3:00:43] the
[3:00:43] politics
[3:00:44] of the
[3:00:44] power demanded
[3:00:45] it.
[3:00:46] Huwag
[3:00:47] nating
[3:00:47] hayaang
[3:00:47] sabihin
[3:00:48] ng
[3:00:49] kasaysayan
[3:00:50] na ginamit
[3:00:51] natin
[3:00:51] ang pinakamabigat
[3:00:52] na kapangyarihan
[3:00:53] ng Kongreso,
[3:00:55] hindi para
[3:00:55] sa
[3:00:55] katarungan,
[3:00:57] kundi para
[3:00:58] sa
[3:00:58] politika.
[3:01:00] History
[3:01:00] will
[3:01:01] judge
[3:01:01] this
[3:01:01] House
[3:01:02] not
[3:01:02] only
[3:01:02] by the
[3:01:02] vote
[3:01:03] we
[3:01:03] casted
[3:01:03] today,
[3:01:04] but
[3:01:04] by
[3:01:05] whether
[3:01:05] we
[3:01:05] had
[3:01:05] the
[3:01:06] courage
[3:01:06] to
[3:01:06] defend
[3:01:07] due
[3:01:07] process
[3:01:07] when
[3:01:08] it
[3:01:08] mattered
[3:01:08] most.
[3:01:10] Mr.
[3:01:10] Speaker,
[3:01:11] alam
[3:01:12] naman
[3:01:12] nating
[3:01:12] lahat
[3:01:12] na
[3:01:13] ang
[3:01:13] bawat
[3:01:13] boto
[3:01:13] natin
[3:01:18] ngunit
[3:01:24] darating
[3:01:24] ang panahon
[3:01:25] na ang
[3:01:26] mas
[3:01:26] mahalaga
[3:01:26] ay kung
[3:01:27] nanaig
[3:01:27] ba
[3:01:28] ang
[3:01:28] prinsipyo,
[3:01:30] integridad
[3:01:30] at
[3:01:31] paninindigan
[3:01:33] sa
[3:01:33] tama.
[3:01:35] Sapagat
[3:01:35] ito
[3:01:36] ang
[3:01:36] mga
[3:01:37] bagay
[3:01:37] na
[3:01:37] dapat
[3:01:37] nating
[3:01:38] ipamana
[3:01:38] sa
[3:01:39] susunod
[3:01:39] na
[3:01:39] henerasyon.
[3:01:40] Darating
[3:01:41] ang
[3:01:41] panahon
[3:01:41] na
[3:01:42] huhusgahan
[3:01:42] din tayo
[3:01:43] ng
[3:01:43] mga
[3:01:43] kabataan
[3:01:44] kung
[3:01:45] ipinaglaban
[3:01:46] ba
[3:01:46] natin
[3:01:47] ang
[3:01:47] tama
[3:01:47] kahit
[3:01:48] mahirap.
[3:01:50] Sana
[3:01:50] pagdating
[3:01:51] ng
[3:01:51] araw,
[3:01:52] titingalain
[3:01:52] tayo
[3:01:53] ng
[3:01:53] bagong
[3:01:53] henerasyon.
[3:01:55] Hindi
[3:01:55] dahil
[3:01:55] sumabay
[3:01:56] tayo
[3:01:56] sa
[3:01:56] agos
[3:01:56] ng
[3:01:56] politika,
[3:01:57] kundi
[3:01:58] dahil
[3:01:58] piniling
[3:01:59] nating
[3:01:59] manindigan
[3:02:00] para
[3:02:00] sa
[3:02:01] konstitusyon,
[3:02:02] sa
[3:02:02] due
[3:02:02] process
[3:02:02] at
[3:02:03] sa
[3:02:03] tama.
[3:02:04] Represented
[3:02:05] Masal,
[3:02:05] please wrap up.
[3:02:06] Almost done,
[3:02:07] sir.
[3:02:08] God sees
[3:02:08] everything we
[3:02:09] do as
[3:02:09] human
[3:02:10] beings.
[3:02:11] At
[3:02:11] sa
[3:02:11] huli,
[3:02:12] higit
[3:02:12] sa
[3:02:12] politika,
[3:02:13] higit
[3:02:13] sa
[3:02:13] ingay,
[3:02:14] higit
[3:02:14] sa
[3:02:14] anumang
[3:02:14] pressure,
[3:02:15] mananagot
[3:02:16] pa rin
[3:02:16] tayo
[3:02:16] sa
[3:02:16] mas
[3:02:16] mataas
[3:02:17] na
[3:02:17] pamantayan
[3:02:18] at
[3:02:18] ng
[3:02:18] katotohanan
[3:02:19] at
[3:02:19] konsensya.
[3:02:20] As
[3:02:21] Abraham
[3:02:21] Lincoln
[3:02:21] once
[3:02:22] said,
[3:02:23] my
[3:02:23] concern
[3:02:24] is not
[3:02:24] whether
[3:02:24] God
[3:02:25] is on
[3:02:25] our
[3:02:25] side.
[3:02:27] My
[3:02:27] greatest
[3:02:27] concern
[3:02:28] is to
[3:02:28] be on
[3:02:29] God's
[3:02:29] side,
[3:02:30] for
[3:02:30] God
[3:02:30] is
[3:02:30] always
[3:02:31] right.
[3:02:32] For
[3:02:32] that
[3:02:33] reason,
[3:02:34] I
[3:02:34] vote
[3:02:34] no
[3:02:34] to
[3:02:35] procedural
[3:02:35] overreach,
[3:02:36] I
[3:02:36] vote
[3:02:37] no
[3:02:37] to
[3:02:37] incomplete
[3:02:37] and
[3:02:38] selective
[3:02:38] evidence,

[3:03:29] Inaasahan

[3:03:37] si
[3:03:37] Vice
[3:03:38] President
[3:03:38] Sara Duterte
[3:03:39] na
[3:03:40] sagutin
[3:03:40] ang mga

[3:03:46] Majority
[3:03:46] Leader.
[3:03:47] Mr.
[3:03:47] Speaker,
[3:03:48] I move
[3:03:48] to recognize
[3:03:49] Representative
[3:03:50] Elijah R.
[3:03:51] San Fernando
[3:03:52] of
[3:03:53] Partylist
[3:03:53] Kamanggagawa
[3:03:54] to explain
[3:03:55] his vote.
[3:03:56] Honorable
[3:03:57] Elijah
[3:03:57] San Fernando
[3:03:59] Kamanggagawa
[3:04:00] Partylist
[3:04:01] is here by
[3:04:01] recognized.
[3:04:02] Mr. Speaker,
[3:04:04] mga kasama,
[3:04:06] simplihan lang po
[3:04:06] natin.
[3:04:08] Meron bang
[3:04:08] sapat na batayan
[3:04:09] ang mga
[3:04:10] aligasyong
[3:04:11] ipinupukol
[3:04:12] sa Vice
[3:04:12] Presidente?
[3:04:14] Meron.
[3:04:15] Is the
[3:04:16] process to
[3:04:16] determine
[3:04:17] probable cause
[3:04:18] polluted,
[3:04:19] politically
[3:04:20] motivated,
[3:04:21] or questionable?
[3:04:23] Yes.
[3:04:24] Pero sa
[3:04:24] gitna
[3:04:25] ng mga
[3:04:25] agam-agam
[3:04:26] sa
[3:04:27] kredibilidad
[3:04:27] ng
[3:04:28] naging
[3:04:28] proseso,
[3:04:29] nananatili
[3:04:30] pa rin
[3:04:31] bang
[3:04:33] accountable
[3:04:33] ang
[3:04:34] Vice
[3:04:34] Presidente
[3:04:35] bilang
[3:04:36] mataas
[3:04:36] na
[3:04:37] opisyal
[3:04:37] ng
[3:04:37] ating
[3:04:38] bayan?
[3:04:39] Yes.
[3:04:40] Then let us
[3:04:41] hold the
[3:04:41] Vice
[3:04:41] President
[3:04:42] accountable.
[3:04:44] Kailangang
[3:04:45] masagot
[3:04:45] ng
[3:04:45] Vice
[3:04:46] Presidente
[3:04:47] ang
[3:04:48] lahat
[3:04:48] ng
[3:04:48] mga
[3:04:48] aligasyong
[3:04:49] ipinupukol
[3:04:50] sa kanya.
[3:04:51] Ang
[3:04:52] trial
[3:04:53] ang
[3:04:53] magbibigay
[3:04:54] ng
[3:04:54] oportunidad
[3:04:55] upang
[3:04:56] siya'y
[3:04:57] makapagpaliwanag
[3:04:58] at
[3:04:59] hayaang
[3:04:59] malitis
[3:05:00] upang
[3:05:01] malaman
[3:05:01] ng lahat
[3:05:02] kung
[3:05:03] siya ba
[3:05:03] ay may
[3:05:04] pananagutan
[3:05:05] o dapat
[3:05:06] na
[3:05:06] mapawalang
[3:05:07] sala.
[3:05:08] Ito
[3:05:08] lang po
[3:05:09] ang
[3:05:09] tanging
[3:05:10] paraan,
[3:05:11] Mr.
[3:05:11] Speaker.
[3:05:12] Sa
[3:05:12] parehas
[3:05:13] na dahilan,
[3:05:15] hindi
[3:05:15] ligtas
[3:05:16] ang
[3:05:16] institusyon
[3:05:17] at
[3:05:18] gobyernong
[3:05:19] ito.
[3:05:19] Let us
[3:05:20] also
[3:05:21] hold
[3:05:21] those
[3:05:22] who
[3:05:22] cast
[3:05:22] the
[3:05:22] stone
[3:05:23] accountable.
[3:05:25] Hindi
[3:05:25] bulag
[3:05:26] at
[3:05:26] mangmang
[3:05:27] ang
[3:05:27] mga
[3:05:27] manggagawa.
[3:05:29] Hindi
[3:05:29] nawawala
[3:05:30] sa
[3:05:30] isip
[3:05:31] ng
[3:05:31] marami
[3:05:31] ang
[3:05:32] trilyong
[3:05:32] pisong
[3:05:33] kinurakot
[3:05:34] sa
[3:05:34] ghost
[3:05:34] flood
[3:05:35] control
[3:05:35] projects.
[3:05:37] Ang
[3:05:37] mga
[3:05:37] mali-maletang
[3:05:38] pera
[3:05:38] na
[3:05:39] nawala
[3:05:39] sa
[3:05:39] korupsyon
[3:05:40] sa
[3:05:41] ilalim
[3:05:41] ng
[3:05:42] administrasyon.
[3:05:44] Kaya
[3:05:44] ang
[3:05:44] usapin
[3:05:45] ng
[3:05:45] accountability
[3:05:46] ay
[3:05:47] sumasaklaw
[3:05:48] rin
[3:05:48] sa
[3:05:49] institusyon
[3:05:50] ito
[3:05:50] maging
[3:05:51] kay
[3:05:51] Pangulong
[3:05:52] Bongbong
[3:05:53] Marcos.
[3:05:55] Hindi
[3:05:55] pwedeng
[3:05:55] magmalinis
[3:05:56] ang
[3:05:57] administrasyon.
[3:05:59] Malinaw
[3:06:00] sa isip
[3:06:01] ng marami
[3:06:02] ang
[3:06:02] magnanakaw
[3:06:04] ay galit
[3:06:04] sa kapwa
[3:06:05] magnanakaw.
[3:06:07] Kaya't
[3:06:07] alam din
[3:06:08] ng marami
[3:06:08] ang mga
[3:06:09] pagmamaniobra
[3:06:10] para
[3:06:11] para
[3:06:11] magtagumpay
[3:06:12] ang
[3:06:13] impeachment
[3:06:13] vote
[3:06:14] ngayong
[3:06:15] araw.

[3:08:58] Representative
[3:08:59] Jesus
[3:09:00] Bong

[3:09:05] Honorable

[3:09:12] City
[3:09:12] is hereby
[3:09:13] recognized
[3:09:14] you have
[3:09:14] 3 minutes.
[3:09:16] Mr.
[3:09:16] Speaker,
[3:09:17] distinguished
[3:09:17] colleagues,
[3:09:18] we debate
[3:09:19] this impeachment
[3:09:20] at a time
[3:09:20] when Filipino
[3:09:21] people are
[3:09:22] facing a
[3:09:23] crisis far
[3:09:24] larger than
[3:09:25] the political
[3:09:25] conflict inside
[3:09:26] this chamber.
[3:09:28] The world is
[3:09:29] being shaken
[3:09:29] by war,
[3:09:30] energy disruption,
[3:09:31] and commodity
[3:09:32] shocks.
[3:09:32] Energy prices
[3:09:33] are projected
[3:09:34] to surge
[3:09:35] 24% this
[3:09:36] year because
[3:09:37] of the
[3:09:38] Middle East
[3:09:38] War,
[3:09:39] with commodity
[3:09:40] prices forecast
[3:09:41] to rise by
[3:09:42] 16% and
[3:09:43] inflationary
[3:09:44] pressures expected
[3:09:45] to hit us
[3:09:46] the hardest.
[3:09:46] For the
[3:09:48] Filipino
[3:09:48] family,
[3:09:49] these numbers
[3:09:49] mean higher
[3:09:50] fuel prices,
[3:09:52] higher transport
[3:09:53] costs,
[3:09:53] higher food
[3:09:54] prices,
[3:09:55] and even
[3:09:55] shrinking
[3:09:56] household
[3:09:57] budget.
[3:09:57] Inflation
[3:09:58] has already
[3:09:59] surged to
[3:10:00] 7.2%
[3:10:01] in April
[3:10:02] 2026.
[3:10:03] And yet,
[3:10:04] in the middle
[3:10:04] of this
[3:10:05] economic storm,
[3:10:06] Congress is
[3:10:06] being asked
[3:10:07] to devote
[3:10:07] its
[3:10:08] gravest
[3:10:08] constitutional
[3:10:09] power to
[3:10:10] an impeachment
[3:10:11] case built
[3:10:12] on complaints
[3:10:13] that remain
[3:10:13] constitutionally
[3:10:15] informed,
[3:10:16] procedurally
[3:10:16] defective,
[3:10:17] and factually
[3:10:18] incomplete.
[3:10:20] Let us be
[3:10:20] clear,
[3:10:21] not impeaching
[3:10:22] the Vice
[3:10:22] President does
[3:10:23] not mean
[3:10:24] she can no
[3:10:24] longer be
[3:10:25] held accountable.
[3:10:27] Hindi po
[3:10:27] totoo na
[3:10:28] kapag hindi
[3:10:28] tinuloy ang
[3:10:29] impeachment,
[3:10:30] wala nang
[3:10:30] kaso.
[3:10:31] If there
[3:10:31] is file
[3:10:32] graph case,
[3:10:34] if there
[3:10:34] is malversation,
[3:10:35] file a
[3:10:36] malversation
[3:10:36] case.
[3:10:37] If there
[3:10:38] is unexplained
[3:10:38] wealth,
[3:10:39] file the
[3:10:39] proper case
[3:10:40] before the
[3:10:41] proper court.
[3:10:41] The Vice
[3:10:42] President is
[3:10:43] not absolutely
[3:10:44] immune from
[3:10:45] suit under
[3:10:45] the Constitution.
[3:10:47] And once
[3:10:47] he is no
[3:10:48] longer Vice
[3:10:48] President,
[3:10:49] she becomes
[3:10:49] fully subject
[3:10:50] to ordinary
[3:10:51] criminal and
[3:10:52] civil processes
[3:10:53] without the
[3:10:54] political
[3:10:54] complications
[3:10:55] of an
[3:10:56] impeachment.
[3:10:57] Accountability
[3:10:58] is never
[3:10:59] lost.
[3:10:59] Accountability
[3:11:00] is not
[3:11:01] achieved
[3:11:01] through
[3:11:02] impeachment
[3:11:03] alone.
[3:11:03] Accountability
[3:11:04] must serve
[3:11:05] justice and
[3:11:05] not political
[3:11:06] convenience.
[3:11:07] It must be
[3:11:08] fair,
[3:11:09] constitutional,
[3:11:10] and consistent.
[3:11:11] If impeachment
[3:11:12] is to be
[3:11:13] used to
[3:11:13] remove a
[3:11:13] sitting
[3:11:14] Vice
[3:11:14] President,
[3:11:15] then the
[3:11:15] House
[3:11:15] must apply
[3:11:16] the highest
[3:11:17] standard,
[3:11:18] not the
[3:11:18] lowest.
[3:11:19] We must
[3:11:20] demand
[3:11:20] ultimate
[3:11:21] facts,
[3:11:21] competent
[3:11:22] evidence,
[3:11:23] personal
[3:11:23] participation,
[3:11:24] and clear
[3:11:25] acts
[3:11:26] constituting
[3:11:27] the impeachable
[3:11:28] offenses.
[3:11:30] That is
[3:11:31] why the
[3:11:31] harder
[3:11:32] question
[3:11:32] must be
[3:11:33] asked.
[3:11:33] With
[3:11:34] barely two
[3:11:34] years left
[3:11:35] in her
[3:11:35] term,
[3:11:36] what good
[3:11:36] will the
[3:11:37] impeachment
[3:11:37] do for
[3:11:38] our
[3:11:38] country?
[3:11:39] Will it
[3:11:39] lower prices?
[3:11:40] Will it
[3:11:41] solve the
[3:11:41] energy crisis?
[3:11:42] Will it
[3:11:42] return stolen
[3:11:43] public funds?
[3:11:45] Will it
[3:11:45] fix flood
[3:11:46] control
[3:11:46] corruption?
[3:11:47] Or will it
[3:11:48] only deepen
[3:11:48] division in
[3:11:50] our already
[3:11:50] divided nation
[3:11:51] and turn the
[3:11:52] national agenda
[3:11:53] into another
[3:11:54] prolonged
[3:11:55] political war?
[3:11:56] For this
[3:11:57] reason,
[3:12:00] impeachment
[3:12:00] is lost
[3:12:01] when the
[3:12:02] motives behind
[3:12:03] it become
[3:12:04] suspect.
[3:12:04] Justice is
[3:12:05] not achieved
[3:12:05] when accountability
[3:12:07] becomes only a
[3:12:08] consolation prize
[3:12:09] for a political
[3:12:10] conflict.
[3:12:10] Let us
[3:12:12] not pretend
[3:12:12] that what
[3:12:14] we are
[3:12:14] witnessing
[3:12:15] is purely
[3:12:16] a principled
[3:12:17] constitutional
[3:12:18] process.
[3:12:20] The public
[3:12:20] sees the
[3:12:21] bitter conflict
[3:12:21] between
[3:12:22] former
[3:12:22] allies.
[3:12:23] They see
[3:12:23] a struggle
[3:12:24] for political
[3:12:25] supremacy.
[3:12:26] They see
[3:12:26] the risk
[3:12:27] that the
[3:12:28] instrumentalities
[3:12:29] of government
[3:12:29] is being
[3:12:30] used to
[3:12:30] destroy
[3:12:31] political
[3:12:31] opponents.
[3:12:33] Committee
[3:12:33] Report
[3:12:34] No.
[3:12:34] 261
[3:12:34] itself
[3:12:35] shows
[3:12:35] the
[3:12:35] weakness
[3:12:36] of this
[3:12:36] process.
[3:12:37] The
[3:12:37] Committee on
[3:12:38] Justice
[3:12:38] did not
[3:12:39] merely
[3:12:39] evaluate the
[3:12:40] complaints.
[3:12:40] It built
[3:12:41] the
[3:12:41] case
[3:12:41] after
[3:12:42] the
[3:12:42] complaints
[3:12:43] were
[3:12:43] filed.
[3:12:44] Hindi
[3:12:45] impeachment
[3:12:45] screening
[3:12:46] ang
[3:12:46] ginawa
[3:12:46] ng
[3:12:46] committee.
[3:12:48] Case
[3:12:48] building
[3:12:49] ang
[3:12:49] ginawa.
[3:12:50] An
[3:12:51] impeachment
[3:12:51] complaint
[3:12:51] must
[3:12:52] stand on
[3:12:52] its own
[3:12:53] from the
[3:12:54] beginning.
[3:12:55] It must
[3:12:55] contain
[3:12:56] ultimate
[3:12:56] facts.
[3:12:57] It must
[3:12:57] allege
[3:12:57] acts
[3:12:58] constituting
[3:12:58] impeachable
[3:12:59] offenses.
[3:13:00] It must
[3:13:00] show
[3:13:00] personal
[3:13:01] participation
[3:13:02] and legal
[3:13:03] nexus.
[3:13:04] Hindi
[3:13:04] pwedeng
[3:13:04] kulang
[3:13:05] ang
[3:13:05] reklamo
[3:13:05] tapos
[3:13:05] ang
[3:13:06] committee
[3:13:06] ang
[3:13:06] maghahanap
[3:13:07] ng
[3:13:07] ebidensya
[3:13:08] sa
[3:13:08] pamamagitan
[3:13:09] ng
[3:13:09] subina,
[3:13:10] AMLA
[3:13:10] record,
[3:13:11] BIR
[3:13:11] record,
[3:13:12] SED
[3:13:12] record,
[3:13:12] NBI
[3:13:13] files,
[3:13:14] at
[3:13:14] testimony
[3:13:14] ng
[3:13:15] witness
[3:13:15] na
[3:13:15] inilabas
[3:13:16] pa
[3:13:16] sa
[3:13:17] bilangguan
[3:13:17] para
[3:13:18] lang
[3:13:18] punuan
[3:13:19] ang
[3:13:19] kakulangan.
[3:13:21] The
[3:13:21] committee
[3:13:21] received
[3:13:22] testimony
[3:13:22] and
[3:13:23] documents
[3:13:23] ng
[3:13:23] limited
[3:13:24] meaningful
[3:13:24] testing.
[3:13:26] Kung
[3:13:26] gagamitin
[3:13:27] ng
[3:13:27] ebidensya
[3:13:27] para
[3:13:28] iakyat
[3:13:28] ang
[3:13:28] impeachment,
[3:13:29] dapat
[3:13:29] pinapayagan
[3:13:31] din
[3:13:31] subukan
[3:13:32] ang
[3:13:32] credibility,
[3:13:33] authenticity,
[3:13:34] personal
[3:13:35] knowledge,
[3:13:35] and
[3:13:35] relevance.
[3:13:37] The
[3:13:37] evidentiary
[3:13:37] record
[3:13:38] is not
[3:13:38] merely weak,
[3:13:39] it is
[3:13:39] compromised.
[3:13:40] The
[3:13:41] committee
[3:13:41] took
[3:13:41] the
[3:13:42] word
[3:13:42] of
[3:13:43] Ramil
[3:13:43] Madriaga,
[3:13:44] a convicted
[3:13:44] criminal,
[3:13:45] as though
[3:13:45] it was
[3:13:46] gospel
[3:13:46] truth.
[3:13:47] In
[3:13:47] any
[3:13:47] fair
[3:13:48] proceeding,
[3:13:48] the
[3:13:48] testimony
[3:13:49] would
[3:13:49] have
[3:13:49] been
[3:13:49] received
[3:13:50] with
[3:13:50] extreme
[3:13:50] caution,
[3:13:51] subjected
[3:13:52] to
[3:13:52] searching
[3:13:53] scrutiny
[3:13:53] and
[3:13:54] corroborated
[3:13:54] by
[3:13:54] independent
[3:13:55] evidence.
[3:13:56] Instead,
[3:13:57] it was
[3:13:57] used
[3:13:57] as a
[3:13:57] pillar
[3:13:58] for
[3:13:58] probable
[3:13:58] cause.
[3:14:00] The
[3:14:00] committee
[3:14:00] received
[3:14:01] most
[3:14:03] from a
[3:14:05] government
[3:14:05] official
[3:14:05] appointed
[3:14:06] only a
[3:14:06] week
[3:14:07] before
[3:14:07] appearing
[3:14:08] in front
[3:14:08] of the
[3:14:08] committee
[3:14:09] on
[3:14:09] matters
[3:14:10] involving
[3:14:10] documents
[3:14:11] protected by
[3:14:12] law
[3:14:12] that should
[3:14:13] have
[3:14:13] triggered
[3:14:13] restraint,
[3:14:14] not
[3:14:14] haste.
[3:14:15] It should
[3:14:16] have
[3:14:16] demanded
[3:14:16] safeguard,
[3:14:17] not
[3:14:17] political
[3:14:18] momentum.
[3:14:19] Most
[3:14:19] troubling,
[3:14:20] the
[3:14:20] executive
[3:14:20] director
[3:14:21] of the
[3:14:21] Anti-Money
[3:14:22] Laundering
[3:14:22] Council
[3:14:23] presented
[3:14:24] AMLOC
[3:14:25] related
[3:14:25] figures
[3:14:26] but did
[3:14:26] not
[3:14:26] disclose
[3:14:27] a
[3:14:27] material
[3:14:27] qualification
[3:14:29] in the
[3:14:29] report
[3:14:30] that
[3:14:31] BPI
[3:14:31] had
[3:14:32] requested
[3:14:32] correction
[3:14:33] of
[3:14:33] certain
[3:14:34] reported
[3:14:34] transactions
[3:14:35] because
[3:14:35] of
[3:14:36] bank
[3:14:36] system
[3:14:37] issues.
[3:14:38] The
[3:14:38] omission
[3:14:38] matters
[3:14:39] because
[3:14:40] it
[3:14:40] affected
[3:14:40] the
[3:14:41] public
[3:14:41] understanding
[3:14:42] and
[3:14:42] supposed
[3:14:43] billions
[3:14:46] attributed
[3:14:47] to
[3:14:48] attorney
[3:14:48] Manese
[3:14:49] Scarpio
[3:14:50] and by
[3:14:51] extension
[3:14:51] the
[3:14:51] unexplained
[3:14:52] wealth
[3:14:52] narrative
[3:14:53] ang layo-layo
[3:14:54] ng
[3:14:54] 2.33
[3:14:55] billion
[3:14:56] sa
[3:14:57] 2.11
[3:14:58] million
[3:14:58] sa
[3:14:58] transaction
[3:14:59] record.
[3:14:59] Pero
[3:15:00] hindi
[3:15:00] ito
[3:15:00] bilanggit
[3:15:00] sa
[3:15:01] committee
[3:15:01] kahit
[3:15:02] nasa
[3:15:02] AMLA
[3:15:03] report
[3:15:03] mismo.
[3:15:04] If
[3:15:04] this
[3:15:05] is
[3:15:05] the
[3:15:06] evidentiary
[3:15:06] foundation
[3:15:07] of
[3:15:07] impeachment
[3:15:08] then
[3:15:08] the
[3:15:08] foundation
[3:15:09] is
[3:15:09] cracked.
[3:15:10] The
[3:15:11] committee
[3:15:11] framed
[3:15:11] 19
[3:15:12] years
[3:15:12] of
[3:15:12] transactions
[3:15:13] as if
[3:15:13] they
[3:15:13] were
[3:15:14] proof
[3:15:14] of
[3:15:14] wealth.
[3:15:15] That
[3:15:15] is
[3:15:15] misleading.
[3:15:17] Ang
[3:15:17] AMLA

[3:15:18] ay

[3:15:30] ng

[3:15:30] sa
[3:15:30] 500,000
[3:15:31] piso.

[3:16:14] offensive
[3:16:14] or
[3:16:15] reckless
[3:16:15] ones
[3:16:16] do

[3:16:26] factual
[3:16:27] nexus
[3:16:27] to

[3:16:29] Hindi
[3:16:29] lahat
[3:16:30] ng
[3:16:30] masamang
[3:16:30] salita
[3:16:30] ay

[3:16:34] ay

[3:16:35] ng
[3:16:36] political
[3:16:36] rhetoric
[3:16:37] ay
[3:16:37] insurrection.
[3:16:38] On
[3:16:39] confidential
[3:16:40] funds
[3:16:40] the
[3:16:41] committee
[3:16:41] relied
[3:16:41] on
[3:16:41] co-observation
[3:16:42] notices
[3:16:43] of
[3:16:43] disallowance
[3:16:44] and
[3:16:44] alleged
[3:16:44] liquidation
[3:16:45] irregularities.
[3:16:47] These
[3:16:47] are serious
[3:16:48] matters
[3:16:48] but
[3:16:48] they do
[3:16:49] not
[3:16:49] automatically
[3:16:49] become
[3:16:50] malversation,
[3:16:51] plunder,
[3:16:52] graft,
[3:16:53] or
[3:16:53] impeachable
[3:16:53] offenses.
[3:16:54] A
[3:16:54] co-finding
[3:16:55] is not
[3:16:55] a
[3:16:55] conviction.
[3:16:56] An
[3:16:57] audit
[3:16:57] observation
[3:16:57] is not
[3:16:58] proof
[3:16:58] of
[3:16:59] criminal
[3:16:59] intent.
[3:17:00] A
[3:17:00] notice
[3:17:00] of
[3:17:01] disallowance
[3:17:01] is not
[3:17:02] by itself
[3:17:03] proof
[3:17:03] that the
[3:17:03] vice
[3:17:04] president
[3:17:04] stole
[3:17:05] public
[3:17:05] funds.
[3:17:05] The law
[3:17:07] requires
[3:17:07] more
[3:17:07] unlawful
[3:17:08] appropriation,
[3:17:12] personal
[3:17:12] participation,
[3:17:13] intent,
[3:17:14] and direct
[3:17:15] attribution
[3:17:16] to the
[3:17:16] respondent.
[3:17:17] Yan
[3:17:17] ang
[3:17:17] dapat
[3:17:18] ipinakita.
[3:17:21] Ang
[3:17:21] problema
[3:17:21] ng
[3:17:22] committee
[3:17:22] report
[3:17:22] number
[3:17:23] 261
[3:17:23] ay hindi
[3:17:24] lamang
[3:17:24] pagkakulang
[3:17:25] ng
[3:17:25] ebidensya.
[3:17:26] Ang
[3:17:26] mas
[3:17:26] mabigat
[3:17:26] na
[3:17:26] problema
[3:17:27] ay
[3:17:27] ang
[3:17:27] paraan
[3:17:28] ng
[3:17:28] pagbuo
[3:17:29] ng
[3:17:29] ebidensya.
[3:17:30] The
[3:17:31] committee
[3:17:31] began
[3:17:31] with
[3:17:31] a
[3:17:32] constitutionally
[3:17:32] weak
[3:17:33] complaint
[3:17:33] expanded
[3:17:34] the
[3:17:34] record
[3:17:34] through
[3:17:34] broad
[3:17:35] subienas
[3:17:35] limited
[3:17:36] meaningful
[3:17:36] testing
[3:17:37] and
[3:17:37] treated
[3:17:38] the
[3:17:38] resulting
[3:17:39] record
[3:17:40] as if
[3:17:40] it
[3:17:41] cured
[3:17:41] the
[3:17:42] original
[3:17:42] defect.
[3:17:43] Impeachment
[3:17:44] must
[3:17:44] meet
[3:17:45] higher
[3:17:45] constitutional
[3:17:46] standards
[3:17:46] because
[3:17:47] it seeks
[3:17:48] to
[3:17:48] overturn
[3:17:49] an
[3:17:49] electoral
[3:17:50] mandate.
[3:17:51] President
[3:17:51] Ferdinand
[3:17:52] Marcos
[3:17:53] Jr.
[3:17:53] received
[3:17:53] 31,629,783
[3:17:57] votes.
[3:17:58] Vice
[3:17:58] President
[3:17:59] Sara
[3:17:59] Duterte
[3:18:00] received
[3:18:00] 32,208,417
[3:18:03] votes.
[3:18:05] Those
[3:18:06] votes
[3:18:06] do not
[3:18:06] place
[3:18:07] anyone
[3:18:07] above
[3:18:08] accountability.
[3:18:09] But
[3:18:09] they
[3:18:09] demand
[3:18:10] restraint,
[3:18:11] seriousness,
[3:18:12] and
[3:18:12] fairness
[3:18:13] before
[3:18:13] Congress
[3:18:14] attempts
[3:18:14] to
[3:18:14] remove
[3:18:14] an
[3:18:15] elected
[3:18:15] national
[3:18:16] official.
[3:18:17] It
[3:18:17] was
[3:18:17] for
[3:18:17] this
[3:18:18] reason
[3:18:18] that
[3:18:18] I
[3:18:18] voted
[3:18:19] no
[3:18:19] to
[3:18:19] the
[3:18:19] impeachment
[3:18:20] complaint
[3:18:20] filed
[3:18:21] against
[3:18:21] President
[3:18:22] Marcos
[3:18:22] and it
[3:18:23] is
[3:18:23] for the
[3:18:24] same
[3:18:24] reason
[3:18:24] that
[3:18:25] I
[3:18:25] oppose
[3:18:25] the
[3:18:25] impeachment
[3:18:26] complaint
[3:18:26] against
[3:18:27] the
[3:18:28] Vice
[3:18:28] President.
[3:18:30] Vox
[3:18:30] popularly,
[3:18:30] Vox
[3:18:31] Day,
[3:18:32] the voice
[3:18:32] of the
[3:18:32] people
[3:18:32] is the
[3:18:33] voice
[3:18:33] of
[3:18:33] God.
[3:18:34] It
[3:18:34] is not
[3:18:34] absolute in
[3:18:35] law,
[3:18:36] but it
[3:18:36] is sacred
[3:18:36] in
[3:18:37] democracy.
[3:18:38] Boses
[3:18:38] ito
[3:18:38] ng
[3:18:39] manggagawa,
[3:18:40] nakulang
[3:18:40] sa sahod,
[3:18:41] pasyente
[3:18:42] yung
[3:18:42] naghihintay
[3:18:42] ng tulong,
[3:18:43] commuter,
[3:18:44] magsasaka,
[3:18:45] mangingisda,
[3:18:45] magulang,
[3:18:46] at kabataang,
[3:18:47] pagod na pagod na
[3:18:47] sa gobyernong
[3:18:48] laging uli
[3:18:48] sa krisis.
[3:18:49] Boses
[3:18:50] ng mga
[3:18:50] Pilipinong
[3:18:50] sawa
[3:18:51] na sa
[3:18:51] politika
[3:18:51] at
[3:18:52] naghahangad
[3:18:53] lamang
[3:18:53] ng
[3:18:53] kasaganahan
[3:18:54] at
[3:18:54] pagbabago.
[3:18:55] For
[3:18:55] this
[3:18:56] reason,
[3:18:56] I cannot
[3:18:57] support the
[3:18:57] transmission
[3:18:58] of the
[3:18:58] articles of
[3:18:59] impeachment
[3:18:59] to the
[3:19:00] Senate.
[3:19:01] The
[3:19:01] country needs
[3:19:02] accountability,
[3:19:03] yes,
[3:19:04] but
[3:19:04] accountability
[3:19:04] that is
[3:19:05] fair,
[3:19:05] consistent,
[3:19:06] and
[3:19:06] constitutional.
[3:19:08] The
[3:19:08] country needs
[3:19:09] action on
[3:19:10] corruption,
[3:19:10] yes,
[3:19:11] but action
[3:19:12] that applies
[3:19:12] to all,
[3:19:13] not only
[3:19:14] to one
[3:19:14] political
[3:19:14] target.
[3:19:16] The
[3:19:16] country needs
[3:19:16] justice,
[3:19:17] yes,
[3:19:18] but justice
[3:19:19] that does
[3:19:19] not confuse
[3:19:20] impeachment
[3:19:21] with the
[3:19:21] only path
[3:19:22] to
[3:19:22] accountability.
[3:19:24] For
[3:19:24] fidelity
[3:19:24] to due
[3:19:25] process,
[3:19:26] for
[3:19:26] consistency
[3:19:27] with our
[3:19:28] own rules,
[3:19:29] and for
[3:19:29] respect for
[3:19:30] the sovereign
[3:19:30] mandate of
[3:19:31] the Filipino
[3:19:31] people,
[3:19:32] I vote
[3:19:33] no.
[3:19:33] Majority
[3:19:35] Leader.
[3:19:36] Mr. Speaker,

[3:19:41] from the
[3:19:41] Lone District
[3:19:42] of Navotas
[3:19:42] City for
[3:19:43] the
[3:19:43] explanation
[3:19:44] of his
[3:19:44] vote.
[3:19:45] Honorable
[3:19:46] Tobias
[3:19:46] Tsianko,
[3:19:48] Lone District
[3:19:48] Navotas
[3:19:49] is hereby
[3:19:49] recognized.
[3:19:52] Mr. Speaker,
[3:19:53] dear
[3:19:53] colleagues,
[3:19:55] ang hirap
[3:19:55] bumoto ng
[3:19:56] yes dahil
[3:19:57] ang sama
[3:19:58] ng timing
[3:19:58] nitong
[3:19:59] impeachment
[3:19:59] na ito.
[3:20:01] Nataon
[3:20:01] kung kailan
[3:20:02] hirap
[3:20:03] ang buhay
[3:20:03] ng ating
[3:20:04] mga
[3:20:04] kababayan
[3:20:05] dulot
[3:20:06] ng
[3:20:06] crisis
[3:20:07] sa
[3:20:07] gitnang
[3:20:07] silangan.
[3:20:08] At mauna
[3:20:10] pa itong
[3:20:10] impeachment
[3:20:11] kesa
[3:20:12] pagpasa
[3:20:12] natin
[3:20:13] ng
[3:20:13] batas
[3:20:13] na
[3:20:14] makakatulong
[3:20:15] sa
[3:20:15] kanila
[3:20:15] sa panahong
[3:20:16] ito.
[3:20:18] Hirap po
[3:20:18] sila
[3:20:19] sa presyo
[3:20:19] ng
[3:20:19] bilihin.
[3:20:21] Ang
[3:20:21] impeachment
[3:20:21] na ito
[3:20:22] ay hindi
[3:20:23] makakatulong
[3:20:24] na maibsan
[3:20:25] ang
[3:20:26] kanilang
[3:20:26] kahirapan.
[3:20:29] Ngunit
[3:20:29] sa ilalim
[3:20:30] ng ating
[3:20:30] saligang
[3:20:31] batas
[3:20:31] ay may

[3:20:36] sa
[3:20:37] House
[3:20:37] of
[3:20:37] Representatives.
[3:20:39] Ang
[3:20:39] hirap
[3:20:40] bumoto
[3:20:40] ng
[3:20:40] yes
[3:20:41] dahil
[3:20:42] walang
[3:20:42] moral
[3:20:43] authority
[3:20:43] ang
[3:20:44] House
[3:20:44] dahil

[3:22:08] ebidensya.
[3:22:10] Gayun
[3:22:10] paman,
[3:22:11] lumitaw
[3:22:12] ang
[3:22:12] issue
[3:22:12] ng
[3:22:13] SAL-N,
[3:22:15] particular
[3:22:15] sa
[3:22:16] hindi
[3:22:16] pagdideklara
[3:22:17] ng
[3:22:17] cash
[3:22:18] on hand
[3:22:18] na
[3:22:19] nananatiling
[3:22:20] kailangang
[3:22:21] maliwanawan
[3:22:22] at
[3:22:24] ipagpaliwanag
[3:22:25] sa
[3:22:26] tamang
[3:22:26] forum.
[3:22:28] Dahil
[3:22:28] nagdesisyon
[3:22:29] ang
[3:22:29] kampo
[3:22:30] ng
[3:22:30] Vice
[3:22:30] Presidente
[3:22:31] Sara
[3:22:32] Duterte
[3:22:33] na
[3:22:33] hindi
[3:22:34] dumalo
[3:22:34] dito
[3:22:34] sa
[3:22:35] House
[3:22:35] of
[3:22:35] Representatives,
[3:22:37] hindi
[3:22:37] nagkaroon
[3:22:38] ng
[3:22:38] pagkakataon
[3:22:39] na
[3:22:39] linawin
[3:22:40] ito.
[3:22:41] Ang
[3:22:42] pagboto
[3:22:42] ng
[3:22:42] yes
[3:22:43] ay
[3:22:43] hindi
[3:22:43] paghusga
[3:22:44] ng
[3:22:45] pagkakasala.
[3:22:47] Ito
[3:22:47] ang
[3:22:48] tanging
[3:22:48] na
[3:22:48] iiwan
[3:22:49] na
[3:22:49] paraan
[3:22:50] para
[3:22:50] mabigyan
[3:22:51] ng
[3:22:51] formal
[3:22:52] at
[3:22:52] maayos
[3:22:53] na
[3:22:53] venue
[3:22:54] sa
[3:22:55] Senado
[3:22:55] upang
[3:22:56] maipaliwanag
[3:22:57] ang
[3:22:57] panig
[3:22:58] at
[3:22:58] mailabas
[3:22:59] ang
[3:22:59] buong
[3:23:00] katotohanan
[3:23:01] sa
[3:23:02] mga
[3:23:02] issue
[3:23:02] ng
[3:23:03] SAL-N
[3:23:03] na
[3:23:04] karugtong
[3:23:04] sa
[3:23:05] mga

[3:23:06] ng
[3:23:06] AMLOC
[3:23:06] at
[3:23:07] bank
[3:23:07] accounts.
[3:23:07] Ito
[3:23:09] ay
[3:23:09] pagkakataon
[3:23:10] para
[3:23:10] ipaliwanag
[3:23:11] niya
[3:23:11] on
[3:23:11] record
[3:23:12] at
[3:23:12] sa
[3:23:12] loob
[3:23:13] ng
[3:23:13] proseso
[3:23:13] ang
[3:23:14] kanyang
[3:23:14] panig
[3:23:15] at
[3:23:15] maipagtanggol
[3:23:16] ang
[3:23:17] kanyang
[3:23:17] sarili.
[3:23:19] Ito
[3:23:19] ang
[3:23:19] pinaka-responsabling
[3:23:21] hakbang
[3:23:21] sa
[3:23:21] puntong
[3:23:22] ito.
[3:23:24] Kasama
[3:23:24] ng
[3:23:24] pagboto
[3:23:25] ng
[3:23:25] yes
[3:23:25] ay
[3:23:26] may
[3:23:26] dalawa
[3:23:26] akong
[3:23:27] kahilingan.
[3:23:28] Una,
[3:23:30] sa
[3:23:30] liderato
[3:23:30] ng
[3:23:30] House
[3:23:31] of
[3:23:31] Representatives
[3:23:31] na
[3:23:32] madaliin
[3:23:33] na
[3:23:33] ang
[3:23:34] pagpasa
[3:23:34] ng
[3:23:35] batas
[3:23:35] na
[3:23:36] makakatulong
[3:23:37] sa
[3:23:37] ating
[3:23:37] mga
[3:23:38] kababayan
[3:23:38] na
[3:23:39] naghihirap
[3:23:40] sa
[3:23:41] panahong
[3:23:41] ito.
[3:23:42] Pangalawa,
[3:23:44] magalang
[3:23:44] akong
[3:23:45] nananawagan
[3:23:45] sa mga
[3:23:46] ahensya
[3:23:47] na may
[3:23:48] responsibilidad
[3:23:48] na panagutin
[3:23:50] ang mga
[3:23:51] big fish
[3:23:51] at ang
[3:23:52] mastermind
[3:23:53] ng
[3:23:53] pinakamalaking
[3:23:54] korupsyon
[3:23:55] sa kasaysayan
[3:23:56] ng ating
[3:23:57] bansa.
[3:23:59] Ako ay buong
[3:23:59] pusong
[3:24:00] naniniwala
[3:24:00] sa kanilang
[3:24:01] integridad
[3:24:02] at alam
[3:24:04] kong
[3:24:04] pinagbubutihan
[3:24:06] nila
[3:24:07] ang makapagpahil
[3:24:08] ng malakas
[3:24:09] na kaso
[3:24:09] na hindi
[3:24:11] madidismiss
[3:24:12] sa korte.
[3:24:13] Ngunit
[3:24:14] medyo
[3:24:15] naiinip
[3:24:16] na po
[3:24:16] ang ating
[3:24:16] mga
[3:24:17] kabayan.
[3:24:19] Sana po
[3:24:19] ay may
[3:24:20] paraan
[3:24:20] na mas
[3:24:21] mapabilis
[3:24:22] ang pag-usad
[3:24:23] ng mga
[3:24:23] kaso
[3:24:23] para ipakitang
[3:24:25] walang
[3:24:25] double
[3:24:26] standard
[3:24:26] sa
[3:24:27] accountability.
[3:24:29] Ipakitang
[3:24:29] hindi
[3:24:30] pinoproteksyonan
[3:24:31] ang
[3:24:31] kakapi
[3:24:32] para hindi
[3:24:34] isipin
[3:24:35] ng taong
[3:24:35] bayan
[3:24:36] na namimili
[3:24:37] lang
[3:24:38] ng kalaban
[3:24:39] sa politika.
[3:24:40] Maraming
[3:24:41] maraming
[3:24:41] salamat po.
[3:24:43] Majority
[3:24:43] leader.
[3:24:44] Mr. Speaker,

[3:24:52] for the
[3:24:54] explanation
[3:24:54] of his
[3:24:54] vote.
[3:24:55] Honorable
[3:24:56] Antonio
[3:24:57] Tinio,

[3:24:58] Act
[3:24:58] Teacher,
[3:24:59] Is he

[3:25:01] Maraming
[3:25:01] Salamat,
[3:25:02] Mr. Speaker.
[3:25:05] Kapanipaniwala
[3:25:06] bang may
[3:25:07] nangyaring
[3:25:08] paglabag
[3:25:08] at malamang
[3:25:10] ba na ginawa
[3:25:11] ito
[3:25:12] ng
[3:25:12] Vice
[3:25:12] Presidente?
[3:25:14] Yan ang
[3:25:15] ibig sabihin
[3:25:16] ng probable
[3:25:16] cause
[3:25:17] at yan
[3:25:18] ang sinikap
[3:25:19] nating
[3:25:19] alamin
[3:25:20] dito sa
[3:25:21] Kongreso.
[3:25:23] May sapat
[3:25:24] na batayan
[3:25:24] ba
[3:25:24] para ma-impeach
[3:25:26] ang Vice
[3:25:26] President
[3:25:27] for betrayal
[3:25:28] of public
[3:25:29] trust,
[3:25:30] graft
[3:25:30] and corruption
[3:25:31] and other
[3:25:32] high crimes?
[3:25:33] Ang sagot,
[3:25:36] yes,
[3:25:37] may sapat
[3:25:38] na batayan
[3:25:39] para sabihin
[3:25:40] winaldas niya
[3:25:41] ng labag
[3:25:42] sa Konstitusyon,
[3:25:44] batas
[3:25:45] at alituntunin
[3:25:46] ang
[3:25:47] 612.5
[3:25:49] million
[3:25:49] na
[3:25:49] confidential
[3:25:50] funds
[3:25:51] na
[3:25:52] pinagkatiwala
[3:25:53] sa Office
[3:25:54] of the
[3:25:55] Vice
[3:25:55] President
[3:25:55] at sa
[3:25:57] Department
[3:25:57] of
[3:25:58] Education.
[3:26:00] Inutos
[3:26:00] niya
[3:26:01] na
[3:26:01] ipaubaya
[3:26:03] sa mga
[3:26:03] hindi
[3:26:04] autorisadong
[3:26:05] individual
[3:26:06] si
[3:26:07] na
[3:26:07] Colonel
[3:26:08] Lachica
[3:26:08] at
[3:26:09] Colonel
[3:26:09] Nolasco
[3:26:10] ang
[3:26:11] aktual
[3:26:11] na
[3:26:11] paggasto
[3:26:12] sa buong
[3:26:13] confidential
[3:26:13] funds
[3:26:14] ng
[3:26:14] kanyang
[3:26:15] dalawang
[3:26:15] opisina.
[3:26:18] Sa
[3:26:18] makatwid,
[3:26:19] hindi
[3:26:19] maituturing
[3:26:20] na
[3:26:21] totoo
[3:26:21] ang
[3:26:22] mga
[3:26:23] accomplishment
[3:26:23] report
[3:26:24] at
[3:26:24] resibo
[3:26:25] na
[3:26:26] sinabmit
[3:26:26] nila
[3:26:26] sa
[3:26:27] COA.
[3:26:28] Ito
[3:26:29] mismo
[3:26:29] ang
[3:26:29] dahilan
[3:26:30] kung
[3:26:30] bakit
[3:26:30] pinasasauli
[3:26:31] ng
[3:26:32] COA
[3:26:32] through
[3:26:33] notice
[3:26:33] of
[3:26:34] disallowance
[3:26:35] ang
[3:26:35] dibababa
[3:26:37] sa
[3:26:37] 448
[3:26:39] million
[3:26:39] na
[3:26:39] confidential
[3:26:40] funds.
[3:26:42] Pangalawa,
[3:26:43] may sapat
[3:26:44] na batayan
[3:26:44] para sabihin
[3:26:46] merong
[3:26:46] undeclared
[3:26:47] wealth
[3:26:48] ang
[3:26:48] vicepresidente.
[3:26:50] Ayon sa
[3:26:51] Anti-Money
[3:26:52] Laundering
[3:26:52] Council
[3:26:53] mula
[3:26:53] 2006
[3:26:56] hanggang
[3:26:56] 2022,
[3:26:58] merong
[3:26:58] 6.7
[3:27:00] billion
[3:27:00] na total
[3:27:01] na lumabas
[3:27:02] at pumasok
[3:27:03] sa mga
[3:27:05] bank accounts
[3:27:06] ng
[3:27:07] vicepresidente.
[3:27:08] 4.4
[3:27:09] billion
[3:27:10] ang
[3:27:10] pumasok
[3:27:11] at
[3:27:12] 1.5
[3:27:13] billion
[3:27:13] ang
[3:27:14] natalang
[3:27:14] lumabas
[3:27:15] sa mga
[3:27:17] covered
[3:27:17] transactions,
[3:27:19] covered
[3:27:19] and
[3:27:19] suspicious
[3:27:20] transactions.
[3:27:22] Samantala,
[3:27:23] una,
[3:27:24] hindi
[3:27:24] nagdeklara
[3:27:25] ng cash
[3:27:26] in hand
[3:27:26] o in
[3:27:26] bank
[3:27:27] sa
[3:27:27] kanyang
[3:27:28] salen
[3:27:28] mula
[3:27:29] 2019
[3:27:29] hanggang
[3:27:30] 2024
[3:27:31] ang
[3:27:31] vicepresidente.
[3:27:33] Pangalawa,
[3:27:34] 88.5
[3:27:36] million
[3:27:36] lamang
[3:27:37] ang
[3:27:37] pinakamataas
[3:27:38] ng net worth
[3:27:39] na
[3:27:39] diniklara
[3:27:40] ng
[3:27:40] vicepresidente
[3:27:41] noong
[3:27:41] 2024.
[3:27:43] At
[3:27:43] pangatlo,
[3:27:44] hindi
[3:27:45] makasasapat
[3:27:46] ang
[3:27:46] deklaradong
[3:27:47] sweldo
[3:27:47] at
[3:27:48] mga
[3:27:48] negosyo
[3:27:49] ng
[3:27:49] vicepresidente
[3:27:50] at
[3:27:50] kanyang
[3:27:51] asawa
[3:27:51] upang
[3:27:52] ipaliwanag
[3:27:53] ang
[3:27:54] kanilang
[3:27:54] bilyones
[3:27:55] na
[3:27:56] tinanganang
[3:27:57] kayamanan.
[3:27:59] Kung
[3:27:59] gayon,
[3:28:01] ang
[3:28:01] undeclared
[3:28:01] wealth
[3:28:02] niya
[3:28:02] ay
[3:28:03] unexplained
[3:28:04] wealth.
[3:28:05] Ayon sa
[3:28:05] batas,
[3:28:06] maaring
[3:28:07] ituring
[3:28:07] ang
[3:28:07] bilyones
[3:28:08] na ito
[3:28:09] bilang
[3:28:10] ill
[3:28:11] gotten
[3:28:11] wealth.
[3:28:12] 6.7
[3:28:14] billion
[3:28:14] na
[3:28:15] dumaan
[3:28:16] sa kanyang
[3:28:17] mga
[3:28:17] account
[3:28:18] versus
[3:28:18] 88.5
[3:28:20] million
[3:28:20] sa
[3:28:21] salen.
[3:28:22] Ibig
[3:28:22] sabihin,
[3:28:24] mukhang
[3:28:24] maraming
[3:28:24] maleta
[3:28:25] ang
[3:28:26] vicepresidente
[3:28:27] na
[3:28:27] kailangan
[3:28:28] niyang
[3:28:28] ipaliwanag.
[3:28:30] 6.7
[3:28:31] billion
[3:28:31] pesos.
[3:28:33] Hindi
[3:28:34] lang
[3:28:34] edi
[3:28:34] wow,
[3:28:36] kundi
[3:28:36] wow,
[3:28:37] mali.
[3:28:37] Kaugnay
[3:28:40] sa
[3:28:40] issue
[3:28:40] ng
[3:28:40] death
[3:28:41] threat
[3:28:41] at
[3:28:44] pagkontrata
[3:28:45] ng
[3:28:45] assassination,
[3:28:47] the thing
[3:28:48] speaks
[3:28:48] for
[3:28:48] itself.
[3:28:50] Huling-huli
[3:28:51] ang
[3:28:51] vicepresidente
[3:28:52] sa
[3:28:53] sarili
[3:28:54] niyang
[3:28:54] pananalita.
[3:28:56] Patak
[3:28:56] Duterte
[3:28:57] ang
[3:28:58] pagpatay
[3:28:58] ng
[3:28:59] walang
[3:28:59] due
[3:28:59] process.
[3:29:01] Kaya
[3:29:01] nga
[3:29:01] nasa
[3:29:01] ICC
[3:29:02] ang
[3:29:03] amang
[3:29:03] si
[3:29:03] Rodrigo
[3:29:04] Duterte
[3:29:04] ngayon.
[3:29:06] Ang
[3:29:06] anak,
[3:29:07] ganun
[3:29:08] na
[3:29:08] lamang
[3:29:08] kung
[3:29:09] mag-utos
[3:29:09] ng
[3:29:10] pagkitil
[3:29:11] sa
[3:29:11] buhay
[3:29:12] ng
[3:29:12] iba.
[3:29:12] Tunay
[3:29:14] nga
[3:29:14] naman,
[3:29:14] like
[3:29:16] father,
[3:29:17] like
[3:29:17] daughter.
[3:29:19] Sa
[3:29:19] pagkakataong
[3:29:20] ito,
[3:29:21] dapat
[3:29:21] dinghidiin
[3:29:22] ang
[3:29:22] pagkondena
[3:29:23] sa
[3:29:24] paggamit
[3:29:25] ng
[3:29:25] politika
[3:29:26] ng
[3:29:26] pananakot,
[3:29:27] pagbanta,
[3:29:28] at
[3:29:29] paghihiganti
[3:29:29] sa
[3:29:30] layuning
[3:29:31] hadlangan
[3:29:32] ang
[3:29:33] pagpapanagot
[3:29:34] sa
[3:29:34] pamamagitan
[3:29:35] ng
[3:29:35] impeachment.
[3:29:38] Bilang
[3:29:38] pangwakas,
[3:29:40] yes,
[3:29:41] ang
[3:29:41] boto
[3:29:41] ng
[3:29:41] kinatawang
[3:29:42] ito,
[3:29:43] may
[3:29:43] probable
[3:29:44] cause
[3:29:44] na

[3:32:16] Napunta

[3:32:16] sa
[3:32:17] no
[3:32:17] na

[3:32:18] matapos
[3:32:19] ng
[3:32:19] mabigat
[3:32:20] na
[3:32:21] pag-iisip.
[3:32:25] Nakita
[3:32:25] ko
[3:32:26] na
[3:32:26] mas
[3:32:26] dapat
[3:32:27] unahin
[3:32:27] ngayon
[3:32:28] ang
[3:32:28] mga
[3:32:29] agarang
[3:32:29] problema
[3:32:30] ng
[3:32:31] ating
[3:32:32] mga
[3:32:32] kababayan
[3:32:33] sa
[3:32:34] araw-araw.
[3:32:36] Ang
[3:32:36] kapakanan
[3:32:37] ng
[3:32:38] taong
[3:32:38] bayan
[3:32:39] ay
[3:32:40] dapat
[3:32:40] unahin
[3:32:41] sa
[3:32:41] lahat.
[3:32:44] Napakaraming
[3:32:45] problema
[3:32:45] ng
[3:32:45] Pilipinas
[3:32:46] na
[3:32:47] mas
[3:32:48] mangingi
[3:32:48] babaw
[3:32:49] gaya
[3:32:50] ng
[3:32:50] food
[3:32:51] security
[3:32:51] at
[3:32:52] pagtaas
[3:32:53] ng
[3:32:53] presyo
[3:32:54] ng
[3:32:54] bilihin.
[3:32:56] Nung
[3:32:57] isang
[3:32:57] araw
[3:32:57] lang
[3:32:57] nakita
[3:32:59] ko
[3:32:59] sa
[3:33:00] diyaryo
[3:33:00] ang
[3:33:02] ating
[3:33:02] national
[3:33:03] debt
[3:33:03] ay
[3:33:04] 18.5
[3:33:05] trillion
[3:33:06] hindi
[3:33:07] dahil
[3:33:08] sa
[3:33:08] ating
[3:33:09] Pangulo
[3:33:10] kundi
[3:33:10] sa
[3:33:11] rate
[3:33:11] of
[3:33:11] exchange
[3:33:12] na
[3:33:13] tumaas
[3:33:15] ng
[3:33:15] tumaas
[3:33:16] ng
[3:33:16] tumaas
[3:33:17] because
[3:33:18] we
[3:33:21] are
[3:33:21] an
[3:33:23] import
[3:33:24] nation.
[3:33:30] We
[3:33:30] need
[3:33:31] the
[3:33:32] dollars.
[3:33:33] We
[3:33:34] need
[3:33:34] food
[3:33:36] security
[3:33:37] hanggang
[3:33:38] sa
[3:33:38] maliit
[3:33:40] na
[3:33:40] bilihin
[3:33:41] ay
[3:33:43] inaangkat
[3:33:44] pa
[3:33:44] natin.
[3:33:45] Sa
[3:33:48] aking
[3:33:48] pananaw
[3:33:49] ang
[3:33:50] usaping
[3:33:50] ito
[3:33:53] ay
[3:33:53] hindi
[3:33:54] makabuluhang
[3:33:55] paggamit
[3:33:56] ng
[3:33:56] oras
[3:33:57] at

[3:33:59] at
[3:34:01] higit
[3:34:02] sa
[3:34:02] lahat
[3:34:03] hindi
[3:34:03] makakabuti
[3:34:05] sa
[3:34:05] taong
[3:34:06] bayan.
[3:34:08] Iyahayag
[3:34:09] ito
[3:34:09] at
[3:34:11] magiging
[3:34:12] pangunahing
[3:34:13] usapin

[3:38:34] Thank
[3:38:34] you,
[3:38:34] Mr.
[3:38:35] Speaker.
[3:38:35] Mr.
[3:38:35] Speaker,
[3:38:36] I have
[3:38:36] been a
[3:38:37] congressman
[3:38:37] since
[3:38:38] 2007,
[3:38:38] and this
[3:38:40] is the
[3:38:40] first time
[3:38:41] that I
[3:38:41] experience
[3:38:42] a time
[3:38:44] limit for
[3:38:44] interpolation
[3:38:45] to only
[3:38:46] 3 minutes.
[3:38:47] Pareho lang
[3:38:48] sa
[3:38:48] explanation
[3:38:49] vote.
[3:38:49] Yet,
[3:38:50] I would
[3:38:50] like to
[3:38:50] thank
[3:38:51] the
[3:38:51] speaker
[3:38:51] for
[3:38:51] giving
[3:38:52] me
[3:38:52] a
[3:38:52] short
[3:38:52] extension.
[3:38:53] But
[3:38:53] I have
[3:38:55] more than
[3:38:56] 100 pages
[3:38:56] of
[3:38:57] questions
[3:38:57] for
[3:38:57] interpolation.
[3:38:58] But
[3:39:01] don't
[3:39:02] worry,
[3:39:02] I
[3:39:02] be
[3:39:02] generous
[3:39:03] to
[3:39:03] you
[3:39:03] today.
[3:39:04] Your
[3:39:04] Honor,
[3:39:05] let me
[3:39:05] read my
[3:39:07] explanation
[3:39:08] of no
[3:39:08] vote.
[3:39:09] I
[3:39:09] voted
[3:39:10] no
[3:39:10] not to
[3:39:11] excuse
[3:39:12] anyone
[3:39:13] from
[3:39:13] accountability,
[3:39:15] but to
[3:39:15] defend
[3:39:16] the
[3:39:16] integrity
[3:39:17] of
[3:39:17] impeachment
[3:39:17] and the
[3:39:18] fairness
[3:39:18] of our
[3:39:19] own
[3:39:19] process.
[3:39:21] Let
[3:39:21] me
[3:39:21] briefly
[3:39:21] explain.
[3:39:23] First,
[3:39:24] the case
[3:39:24] we are
[3:39:24] sending
[3:39:25] to the
[3:39:25] Senate
[3:39:25] is that
[3:39:27] the same
[3:39:27] case
[3:39:27] the
[3:39:28] Vice
[3:39:29] President
[3:39:29] was asked
[3:39:30] to answer.
[3:39:30] On
[3:39:31] March 16,
[3:39:33] she filed
[3:39:33] her
[3:39:33] consolidated
[3:39:35] verified
[3:39:36] answer
[3:39:36] to the
[3:39:38] Sabalia
[3:39:38] and
[3:39:38] Cabrera
[3:39:39] complaints
[3:39:39] after
[3:39:40] the
[3:39:41] committee
[3:39:41] had
[3:39:42] already
[3:39:42] declared
[3:39:43] them
[3:39:43] sufficient
[3:39:44] informed
[3:39:45] substance
[3:39:46] and
[3:39:46] grounds.
[3:39:48] Only
[3:39:48] after
[3:39:49] that
[3:39:50] did
[3:39:50] the
[3:39:50] committee
[3:39:51] bring
[3:39:51] in
[3:39:52] a
[3:39:53] new
[3:39:53] supplemental
[3:39:54] affidavit
[3:39:55] from
[3:39:55] Mr.
[3:39:56] Madriaga,
[3:39:57] expanded
[3:39:57] testimony
[3:39:58] from
[3:39:59] Antonio
[3:40:00] Trillanes,
[3:40:01] detailed
[3:40:02] AMLC
[3:40:02] figures
[3:40:03] running
[3:40:04] into
[3:40:04] billions
[3:40:04] and
[3:40:05] NBI
[3:40:05] DOJ
[3:40:06] cyber
[3:40:06] and
[3:40:06] documentary
[3:40:07] evidence.
[3:40:08] All
[3:40:08] of
[3:40:09] those
[3:40:10] April
[3:40:11] additions
[3:40:12] are now
[3:40:13] woven
[3:40:13] into a
[3:40:14] single
[3:40:14] consolidated
[3:40:15] set of
[3:40:15] articles
[3:40:16] but
[3:40:17] the
[3:40:17] respondent
[3:40:17] was
[3:40:18] never
[3:40:18] formally
[3:40:19] invited
[3:40:20] to amend
[3:40:20] her
[3:40:20] answer
[3:40:21] to
[3:40:22] address
[3:40:22] that
[3:40:23] expanded
[3:40:23] case.
[3:40:25] We
[3:40:25] strengthened
[3:40:26] and
[3:40:26] reshaped
[3:40:27] the
[3:40:27] charges
[3:40:27] yet
[3:40:29] we
[3:40:29] never
[3:40:30] reopened
[3:40:30] the
[3:40:30] door
[3:40:30] for
[3:40:31] her
[3:40:31] to
[3:40:31] answer
[3:40:32] them.
[3:40:33] Second,
[3:40:34] two
[3:40:34] verified
[3:40:35] complaints
[3:40:35] have
[3:40:36] effectively
[3:40:36] been
[3:40:37] turned
[3:40:38] into
[3:40:38] something
[3:40:38] like
[3:40:39] a
[3:40:39] new
[3:40:39] complaint.
[3:40:39] The
[3:40:40] Constitution
[3:40:41] says
[3:40:41] impeachment
[3:40:42] must
[3:40:43] be
[3:40:43] initiated
[3:40:46] by a
[3:40:47] verified
[3:40:48] complaint.
[3:40:48] Sabalia and
[3:40:49] Cabrera
[3:40:50] did that.
[3:40:51] They
[3:40:51] allege
[3:40:52] misuse
[3:40:52] of
[3:40:52] confidential
[3:40:53] funds,
[3:40:53] bribery,
[3:40:54] unexplained
[3:40:55] wealth and
[3:40:56] wealth and
[3:40:56] destabilization.
[3:40:57] But the
[3:40:57] consolidated
[3:40:58] articles go
[3:41:00] further.
[3:41:01] They merge
[3:41:02] and they
[3:41:02] relabel the
[3:41:03] grounds into
[3:41:04] broad
[3:41:04] patterns of
[3:41:05] abuse,
[3:41:06] import
[3:41:06] specifics,
[3:41:07] pang
[3:41:07] madriagas,
[3:41:08] supplemental
[3:41:08] of
[3:41:08] adabit,
[3:41:09] trilianis,
[3:41:10] annexes,
[3:41:10] AMLC
[3:41:11] transaction
[3:41:11] patterns and
[3:41:12] NBI
[3:41:13] transcripts.
[3:41:14] And then
[3:41:15] present a
[3:41:18] new unified
[3:41:19] narrative of
[3:41:20] sustained
[3:41:20] corruption and
[3:41:21] command
[3:41:21] responsibility.
[3:41:22] On paper,
[3:41:24] this house
[3:41:24] still invokes
[3:41:25] Sabalia and
[3:41:25] Cabrera,
[3:41:26] but in
[3:41:27] substance,
[3:41:27] we have a
[3:41:28] different
[3:41:28] post-April
[3:41:30] case.
[3:41:31] The
[3:41:31] Vice
[3:41:32] President has
[3:41:33] never been
[3:41:33] asked on
[3:41:34] the pleadings
[3:41:35] to admit
[3:41:36] or deny
[3:41:36] that
[3:41:37] consolidated
[3:41:37] expanded
[3:41:38] version.
[3:41:41] For me,
[3:41:42] that
[3:41:42] combination,
[3:41:43] changing the
[3:41:44] case after
[3:41:45] the answer,
[3:41:46] turning into
[3:41:46] complaint,
[3:41:47] two complaints
[3:41:48] into a new
[3:41:49] consolidated
[3:41:49] narrative,
[3:41:51] and doing
[3:41:51] so on a
[3:41:52] selective
[3:41:52] evidentiary
[3:41:53] base creates
[3:41:55] a serious
[3:41:56] risk of
[3:41:56] denial of
[3:41:57] due process
[3:41:58] and grave
[3:41:59] abuse of
[3:41:59] discretion by
[3:42:00] this house.
[3:42:01] I believe
[3:42:02] that if
[3:42:03] this impeachment
[3:42:04] is challenged
[3:42:04] before the
[3:42:05] Supreme Court,
[3:42:06] these very
[3:42:07] defects will
[3:42:08] be the
[3:42:08] center of
[3:42:09] the arguments
[3:42:10] against us.
[3:42:12] I repeat,
[3:42:13] my no vote
[3:42:14] is not a
[3:42:14] judgment on
[3:42:16] guilt or
[3:42:16] innocence.
[3:42:17] It is a
[3:42:18] judgment that
[3:42:19] this particular
[3:42:19] committee report
[3:42:20] and resolution
[3:42:21] do not meet
[3:42:21] the
[3:42:22] constitutional
[3:42:23] standard of
[3:42:24] fairness and
[3:42:25] notice that
[3:42:26] impeachment
[3:42:27] demands.
[3:42:28] We could
[3:42:29] have required
[3:42:30] the committee
[3:42:31] to confine
[3:42:31] itself more
[3:42:33] strictly to
[3:42:34] the verified
[3:42:34] complaints and
[3:42:35] to give the
[3:42:36] respondent a
[3:42:37] formal chance
[3:42:37] to answer
[3:42:38] the consolidated
[3:42:39] articles before
[3:42:41] we voted.
[3:42:42] We chose
[3:42:43] not to.
[3:42:44] For those
[3:42:45] reasons,
[3:42:47] and out of
[3:42:48] respect for the
[3:42:49] Constitution
[3:42:49] and for the
[3:42:50] long-term
[3:42:51] credibility of
[3:42:52] impeachment as
[3:42:53] an instrument
[3:42:53] of
[3:42:54] accountability,
[3:42:56] I vote
[3:42:56] no,
[3:42:57] Mr.
[3:42:57] Speaker.
[3:43:00] Majority
[3:43:01] Leader.
[3:43:03] Mr.
[3:43:03] Speaker,
[3:43:04] we'd like to
[3:43:05] acknowledge
[3:43:05] Representative
[3:43:07] Audrey K.
[3:43:08] T.
[3:43:08] Zubiri of
[3:43:09] 3rd District
[3:43:10] Bukidnon to
[3:43:11] explain her
[3:43:11] vote.
[3:43:12] Honorable
[3:43:13] Audrey K.
[3:43:14] Zubiri,
[3:43:15] 3rd District
[3:43:16] Bukidnon,
[3:43:16] is here by
[3:43:16] recognize.
[3:43:17] Thank you
[3:43:18] very much.
[3:43:19] Good
[3:43:19] evening,
[3:43:19] Mr.
[3:43:20] Speaker.
[3:43:21] I chose
[3:43:21] to abstain
[3:43:22] from voting
[3:43:23] so as
[3:43:23] not to
[3:43:24] prejudice
[3:43:25] or preempt
[3:43:26] the independent
[3:43:27] judgment of
[3:43:28] my husband,
[3:43:28] Senator Juan
[3:43:29] Miguel Zubiri,
[3:43:30] who will be
[3:43:31] serving as
[3:43:32] a senator
[3:43:33] judge in
[3:43:34] the impeachment
[3:43:34] court.
[3:43:35] Thank you
[3:43:35] very much.
[3:43:43] Majority
[3:43:44] Leader,
[3:43:46] but before
[3:43:47] we continue,
[3:43:48] the Chair
[3:43:50] would like
[3:43:50] to manifest
[3:43:51] that I was
[3:43:51] informed by
[3:43:52] the Secretariat
[3:43:53] of a correction
[3:43:54] in the result
[3:43:55] of the nominal
[3:43:56] voting on
[3:43:57] the House
[3:43:57] Resolution
[3:43:58] Number 989
[3:43:59] that the
[3:44:01] body earlier
[3:44:01] adopted.
[3:44:02] The correct
[3:44:03] result is
[3:44:05] as follows.
[3:44:07] Affirmative
[3:44:07] 257
[3:44:09] instead of
[3:44:10] 255.
[3:44:12] Negative
[3:44:12] 25
[3:44:13] instead of
[3:44:14] 26.
[3:44:15] And
[3:44:15] abstention
[3:44:16] remains at
[3:44:17] 9.
[3:44:18] In view
[3:44:18] thereof,
[3:44:19] let the
[3:44:19] records reflect
[3:44:20] the said
[3:44:20] result.
[3:44:21] Majority
[3:44:21] Leader.
[3:44:22] Mr.
[3:44:23] Speaker,
[3:44:23] I move
[3:44:24] to endorse
[3:44:24] to the
[3:44:25] Senate

[3:44:26] setting

[3:44:28] together with
