[0:00] In the next part of the Articles of Impeachment [0:03] in the House of Representatives [0:04] on Vice President Sara Duterte [0:06] on May 11, 2026, [0:09] formal na binuo ang 11-member prosecution panel [0:12] para sa inaasahang pagliliti sa Senado. [0:14] 11 mambabatas ang inihalal ng Kamara [0:17] bilang public prosecutors, [0:19] lead prosecutors, [0:20] Batanga 2nd District Representative Jervie Luistro, [0:23] chairperson ng Committee on Justice, [0:25] at nanguna sa pagdinig ng impeachment complaints sa Kamara. [0:27] Sa lahat po ng mga kababayang Pilipino, [0:31] please walk with us, [0:35] please join us, [0:37] please be with us [0:38] until the conclusion of this impeachment trial. [0:45] Gayun din ang human rights lawyer at litigator [0:47] na nagningkod bilang private prosecutor [0:49] sa nakaraang impeachment [0:50] na si Akbaing Partilist Rep. Shell Jokno. [0:54] Bahagi rin ang 11-member prosecution panel [0:56] ang dating Senador at Justice Secretary [0:58] na si Ma'am Mayang Liberal Partilist Rep. Leila Dilima. [1:02] Gayun din si Manila Rep. Joel Chua, [1:04] chairperson ng House Good Government and Public Accountability [1:07] na nanguna sa pag-iimbestiga sa paggamit ng confidential funds [1:11] ni VP Duterte noong 19 Congress. [1:14] Ang iba pa sa mga kasamang uusik kay VP Sara [1:17] ay si na Iloilo Rep. Lawrence Defensor, [1:20] San Juan City Rep. Isabel Maria Zamora, [1:23] One Rider Partilist Rep. Rodge Coutieres, [1:26] at Bicol Seropartilist Rep. Terry Bidon. [1:29] Tatlong kograsistang taga Mindanao din [1:31] ang bahagi ng prosekusyon. [1:33] Ito ay sinabukid noon Rep. Jonathan Keith Flores, [1:36] Dinagat Islands Rep. Kakabagaw, [1:39] na dati rin public prosecutor sa Corona Impeachment Trial, [1:42] at si Cagayan de Oro Rep. Lordan Suwan. [1:45] Sa labing isang membro ng House Prosecution Team, [1:48] tangin si Rep. Flores ang nag-abstain [1:50] ng pagbutuhan sa plenaryo ng Kamara [1:52] ang Articles of Impeachment laban kay VP Duterte. [1:55] Anya, ito'y dahil sa kanyang constituents. [1:58] I yield to the collective wisdom [2:00] of the members of the House when they elected me. [2:03] I could not, in good conscience, [2:05] vote against the Articles of Impeachment [2:07] because I was present all along [2:08] when the Committee on Justice heard the evidence presented. [2:13] I think it cannot be denied that [2:14] there are a lot of people in Mindanao [2:17] who are actually poor, the Vice President. [2:19] So, that playing a factor, yes. [2:22] that play the factor also in my considerations [2:24] whether to vote or not to vote. [2:27] Samantala, may labing limang abugado namang [2:29] magsisilbi bilang private prosecutors. [2:32] Katuwang sila ng public prosecutors [2:33] sa preparasyon para sa paglilitis, [2:36] research, paghahanda ng mga ebedensya, [2:38] legal na dokumento at iba pa. [2:40] Kabilang narito si Atty. Benjamin Tolosa Jr., [2:43] na isa ring legal spokesperson [2:45] ng House Prosecution Panel. [2:47] Under the rules, Malina Hono, [2:49] the participation of private prosecutors [2:51] should always be under the direct control [2:53] and supervision of the public prosecutors. [2:56] Ibig sabihin nun ito, [2:57] sila ho talagang namumuno, [2:58] na nangunguna dyan, [3:00] sila namumuno dyan, [3:01] at kami ho ay tigabigay ho ng support. [3:03] Gayun din ang apat na abugado [3:06] mula sa PECA Barlo [3:07] na sina-Attorneys Marforth Fuwa, [3:09] Erwin Matib, [3:10] Justine Ann Lamarca, [3:12] at James Bryan Ibrahim Ali. [3:14] Ang abugadong si Fuwa [3:15] ay dating Assistant Presidential Legal Counsel [3:18] ng PBBM Administration [3:19] sa ilalim ng Pumano [3:21] na Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, [3:23] Juan Ponce Emrile. [3:24] It is the House [3:26] who enlisted our support, [3:27] not the President, [3:29] or not anyone, [3:30] the first family. [3:31] So, I mean, [3:34] we cannot hide our identity. [3:37] But now, [3:38] we are here together [3:39] with a common cause. [3:41] So, as I've said, [3:43] this is just any other [3:44] regular case handled by the firm. [3:47] It's nothing special. [3:49] So, it is just [3:49] a purely professional engagement. [3:52] Kabilang din sa private prosecutors [3:53] mula sa Kapunan and Castillo Law, [3:55] ang veteran litigator [3:57] na si Atty. Lorna Kapunan, [3:59] Atty. Sonia Margarita Benemerito Castillo, [4:02] Diana Melisa Lorenzo Singian, [4:05] Lino Chris Kapunan, [4:06] at Bettina Zamora. [4:08] Galing naman si Sapayan Lim Alvarez Ligutan [4:10] o sa legal law [4:11] si Atty. Amanda Vergi Ligutan. [4:14] Si Atty. Ligutan [4:15] ang lead counsel [4:16] para sa third impeachment complaint [4:18] laban kay VP Duterte [4:19] ngayong 20th Congress. [4:21] Private prosecutors team [4:22] si na Atty. Arnold Labay, [4:24] senior partner [4:25] sa Chan Robles & Associates. [4:27] Atty. Reynaldo Robles [4:29] na dating legal counsel [4:30] si former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. [4:33] Atty. May Divina Gracia [4:35] na naging abugado [4:36] ng yumaong dating DPWH Undersecretary [4:38] na si Catalina Cabral [4:40] sa investigasyon [4:41] sa maanumal yung flood control projects. [4:43] At si Atty. Theodore Te, [4:45] dating spokesperson [4:46] ng Supreme Court. [4:47] Ayon sa House Prosecution Panel, [4:49] ang malaking bilang [4:50] ng mga abugado nito [4:50] ay patunay [4:51] ng sarilosong paghanda [4:52] para sa katotohanan [4:54] at justisya. [4:55] Samantala, [4:56] itinilaga rin impeachment spokespersons [4:58] si Nalanaw del Sur Rep. [4:59] Sia Alonco Adjong, [5:01] Kabataan Partridge Rep. [5:02] Rene Co.

[5:08] Handa na ang prosekusyon [5:10] na ilatag ang kanilang mga ebedensya [5:11] sa oras na magsimula [5:13] ang paglilitis [5:13] kay VP Duterte [5:14] sa Senado [5:15] Rosa Licose [5:16] UNTV News and Rescue [5:18] Diyos ang ang sandigan [5:19] Servisyo publiko [5:20] ang aming pinahahalagahan.
