[0:00] This is a hypothetical question, Your Honor.
[0:42] You are not referring to any particular witness?
[1:19] This is a hypothetical question, Your Honor.
[1:21] This is a hypothetical question, Your Honor.
[1:23] May I answer, Your Honor?
[2:07] Apo, apo.
[2:09] Kagaya po ng aking binigyang linaw kanina.
[2:13] At paulit-ulit na rin pong sinabi ng ating presiding officer.
[2:16] Pakisagot na lang po kasi yun lang po ang tanong.
[2:20] Tama po ba o mali na tawagin sinungaling ang taong iba-iba ang sinasabi?
[2:28] I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I need to qualify my answer.
[2:33] Mr. Presiding Officer, isang simpleng tanong lang po.
[2:39] The lead prosecutor may agree or disagree or state a different characterization.
[2:46] I can state a different characterization if I'm asked by the good senator judge.
[2:51] You may disagree or agree with the statement of the Honorable Senator Judge Padilla.
[2:57] Feel free to say no or yes, counsel.
[2:59] Kagalang-galang ng mga senator judges at sa atin pong mga nanonood na kababayan.
[3:05] Dahil binanggit po ng kagalang-galang na Sen. Robin Padilla
[3:10] ang pangalan at ang affidavit ni Arturo Lascañas na isko pong linawin ang kanina kong manifestasyon.
[3:18] Ito po ay ipredesenta sa impeachment court bilang bahagi ng testimonya ng witness.
[3:24] Hindi pa din po sinasagot ang...
[3:26] Lead prosecutor, the response, it's not responsive to the question of Sen. Judge Padilla.
[3:33] Allow me to, if the good Sen. Judge will allow the presiding officer,
[3:37] Pwede ba natin sabihin, lead prosecutor, na ang testigong pabalik-pabago-bago ang kanyang testimonya
[3:47] sa magkakaibang pecha o araw o panahon ay isang testigong hindi maaasahan?
[3:54] Without particular reference to Arturo Lascañas.
[3:57] Sa pangkalahatan, oh.
[3:58] I agree with you, Honorable Presiding Officer.
[4:01] Yan.
[4:02] Posible nagsisinungaling siya sa isa, nagsasabi ng totoo sa isa,
[4:06] o nagsisinungaling sa isa, nagsasabi ng totoo sa isa.
[4:08] Hindi na natin malalaman yun.
[4:10] Tama po ba yan?
[4:11] Without particular reference to Arturo Lascañas, I agree with you, Honorable Presiding Officer.
[4:16] Maraming salamat po.
[4:17] Aming ginoong katapamahala po po.
[4:18] You may proceed, Sen. Judge Padilla.
[4:20] Opo.
[4:21] Kasi po, katulad po ng sinabi ng aming Sen. Judge 10,000 Hours Pampilolakson,
[4:32] napakaliwanag po ng sinabi niya.
[4:34] At kami din po dito, ako po mismo, ay gumawa din ng panukala na dapat yung mga nagsisinungaling dito,
[4:47] yung mga paiba-iba ng testimony na nagiging aming mga witness,
[4:52] ay dagdagan dapat ang sintensa ng perjury.
[4:55] Kailangan amendahan ang batas na yan.
[4:59] Ngayon, bilang pakiusap po sa inyo, sa prosecution,
[5:07] pwede po ba na sana ay maiwasan natin ang pagbibigay ng witness na may kasong perjury?
[5:17] Hindi na po ito si Las Kanyas.
[5:20] Ang sinasabi ko po ay yung dalawang mahal nating witness,
[5:26] si Atty. Jeremy Lotok at si NBI Agent Talilong,
[5:34] na sa mga paoras na ito ay may kasong hinaharap na perjury.
[5:38] Pwede po bang iwasan natin na may mga ganito tayong witness para
[5:42] ang nasasakdal po kasi dito ay ibinoto ng 32 milyon na tao.
[5:51] Sana po, aming mga mahal na kaibigan sa prosecution,
[5:59] ay isipin natin mabuti bago po tayo magbigay ng mga witness
[6:03] na may perjury na kaso o nagkaroon po kami ng dahilan
[6:11] na gumawa ng amenda na itong perjury ay amendahan.
[6:20] Pwede po ba yun?
[6:21] Your Honor, with all due respect,
[6:24] I would like to take exception to the question and manifestation
[6:27] of the Honorable Senator Judge Robin Padilla.
[6:30] First of all, we were able to verify already
[6:33] that there are no cases pending against the prosecution witnesses.
[6:39] In addition, Your Honor,
[6:41] and only to respond to the concern of the Honorable Senator Judge Padilla,
[6:47] ang conviction po ay hindi ground for disqualification
[6:50] unless it is final and unless it is punishable
[6:55] by more than one year and that the crime constitutes moral turpitude.
[6:59] Alam niyo po, napakaganda po ng inyong sagot.
[7:04] Sana, hindi one-sided ang ating persecution.
[7:08] Kasi alam niyo, pag kayo ang pagpabor sa inyo,
[7:18] alam niyo, bawal po ang ginagawa.
[7:21] Bawal po ang ginagawa itong nasa harap natin,
[7:26] nagkukome-komento.
[7:27] Kindly maintain order in the court,
[7:29] the sergeant at arms,
[7:31] by authority of the Senate President,
[7:34] is directed to kindly maintain...
[7:36] Hindi po sila allowed.
[7:41] Mag-ingay.
[7:42] Korte po ito.
[7:46] Thank you.
[7:47] You may proceed, Senator Judge Padilla.
[7:48] Who was speaking?
[7:50] Ako po.
[7:51] You may proceed, Senator Judge Padilla.
[7:52] I was interrupted.
[7:54] With your apologies.
[7:57] So, ibig niyo pong sabihin,
[8:01] yung mga Senator Judges dito ngayon
[8:03] na humaharap sa kaso
[8:04] na hindi po pinapayagan ng ombudsman
[8:09] at hindi pa rin sila guilty,
[8:13] ano pong ibig niyo sabihin?
[8:16] Your Honor, with all due respect,
[8:17] ang question niyo po kanina ay kaugnay ng pagtistigo.
[8:21] It's tigong nga.
[8:23] Referring to the witnesses of the prosecution, Your Honor.
[8:27] Ang usapan po ay yung guilty or not guilty.
[8:32] Okay?
[8:33] So, tatanong na po ako ulang bago.
[8:37] Pwede po ba?
[8:38] May I be clarified, Your Honor,
[8:39] on your last question
[8:41] about the senator you said are facing cases?
[8:47] Lead counsel, I think that was more...
[8:48] Alam niyo po, malinaw na po yung sinabi ko
[8:50] and wala po kayong karapatan magtanong
[8:54] ka Sen. Judges.
[8:55] I think Sen. Judges Padil was making a manifestation
[8:59] and not posing a question to the lead prosecutor
[9:01] in relation to our two colleagues.
[9:05] You may proceed, Sen. Judges Padil.
[9:07] Maraming salamat po,
[9:09] Gilong Tagapamahalang Hukom.
[9:13] Pwede na po ba tayong mag-advance ng katalungan?
[9:19] Yes, Your Honor.
[9:20] Apo.
[9:23] Yung pong sinasabi ninyo,
[9:26] bakit nyo po nababanggit ang ICC dito?
[9:30] Ano po ang kinalaman ng ICC dito
[9:33] sa ating pagdinig?
[9:36] With all due respect,
[9:38] Honorable Sen. Judge Robin Padilla,
[9:41] kagaya po nang nabanggit ko na
[9:43] at marahil panglimanang banggit
[9:47] ng presiding officer,
[9:49] nabanggit po ang ICC,
[9:51] kaugnay ng affidavit ni Las Cañas,
[9:54] na ipirinisinta po ng prosecution
[9:56] bilang bahagi lamang
[9:59] ng testimonya ng witness
[10:01] at bilang bahagi
[10:03] ng naging investigasyon
[10:05] ng Special Task Force ng NBI.
[10:07] Maraming salamat po.
[10:09] Sen. Judge Padilla will please wind up.
[10:12] You can avail of a second round if you wish.
[10:14] Opo, opo. Maraming salamat po.
[10:16] So, ibig pong sabihin,
[10:17] malinaw na kanina sinabi natin
[10:20] na hindi siya
[10:21] with the permission of Senator Judge
[10:23] and the indulgence of Sen.
