What happens to VP Duterte impeach trial if several senators detained? — DZMM TeleRadyo

[0:00] Kong Jinky, let's talk about ito pong nangyayari o kapapangyari lang sa Senado. [0:07] So you have been quoted as saying na tutul po kayo [0:14] sa pagsali ng mga Senator Judges impeachment trial [0:18] via virtual attendance or being online. [0:23] Why do you say so, ma'am? [0:26] Peter, with all due respect kay Senator Batono, [0:30] eh kung nirisk niya yung sarili niya in voting for the change of leadership, [0:37] he should have the same courage in personally attending this constitutional process. [0:42] Because this is paramang, this is the most important constitutional process [0:47] because this is a power that was given to the sovereign Filipino people [0:51] para ito sa sambayo ng Pilipino. [0:54] And he has to witness personally the presentation of evidence. [0:58] Otherwise, he will not be able to intelligently vote. [1:02] Dapat makita niya yung demeanor ng bawat witnesses. [1:06] Because it is by observing the demeanor of the witnesses [1:09] that you can able to say, [1:11] totoo ba o hindi ang sinasabi ng distigong ito. [1:15] That is very important, Peter. [1:17] And pagdating ng botohan, constitutional process ito. [1:22] You are doing this for the Filipino people. [1:25] Kasama ito dun sa pinanumpaan mo. [1:28] Ito ay pag-respond mo sa iyong constitutional duty. [1:32] And why should you not be present? [1:34] So, my position really is, [1:38] the senator judges should be present, [1:41] not only in the presentation of witnesses, [1:45] presentation of evidence, [1:46] but also in casting their vote [1:49] because that is a very solemn, sacred duty. [1:53] Yun. [1:53] And I wish to follow up [1:55] because of what you did say, Kong Jinkin, [1:58] you know, it's a sacred duty. [2:01] It's something extraordinary. [2:03] It's a very special function of Congress, [2:07] both the lower house and the Senate. [2:10] Therefore, kung sabi niyo nga, [2:12] sui generis, di ba? [2:14] Can, can, can, can, [2:15] can Bato, [2:16] Senator Bato, [2:16] actually invoke this, [2:19] na napaka-importante nito, [2:20] and dapat makasama ako dito [2:23] and therefore, [2:24] pwede bang isuspend muna natin [2:26] yung warrant of arrest [2:27] while I show myself up in the Senate [2:30] as a senator judge? [2:32] What do you think, ma'am? [2:34] That I cannot answer, Peter, no? [2:36] Because that is a function [2:38] that rests exclusively to the executive. [2:42] Remember, there's separation of power. [2:44] I'm saying that [2:45] because I'm part of the legislative. [2:47] And I know how important [2:49] and how sacred this is, no? [2:51] Pero pagdating doon sa standing warrant [2:54] ni, again, [2:55] Senator Bato, [2:56] and the inclination [2:57] of the executive department [2:59] to enforce that arrest warrant, [3:02] that is a question [3:03] that rests exclusively upon them, no? [3:06] And I don't know [3:07] how he will suspend [3:08] that warrant of arrest [3:10] issued by ICC [3:11] because the Supreme Court [3:13] pronounced already [3:14] with respect at least [3:16] to sa prayer niya for TRO, [3:18] di ni Nisha, [3:19] and we know for a fact [3:21] na in case of confusion [3:24] or inconsistency [3:26] about our interpretation [3:27] of the law, [3:29] ang judge niya ng Supreme Court [3:30] and the Supreme Court [3:31] pronounced already, [3:32] dinina yung kanyang [3:33] temporary restraining order, [3:34] di ba? [3:35] So, [3:36] ang tanong siguro diyan, [3:37] Peter, [3:38] is kung alin yung priority niya? [3:41] Is it his duty [3:43] to the Filipino people [3:44] or is it his personal interest [3:47] not to be arrested [3:48] by virtue of that ICC warrant? [3:51] But of course, [3:51] we express our highest respect [3:53] to Senator Bato, no? [3:55] I don't know really [3:57] kung ano [3:59] ang magiging sagot to [4:01] ng executive [4:01] in case it will be [4:02] invoked by [4:03] Senator Bato. [4:05] Meron pa rin [4:06] highest respect [4:07] si Kong Jinky talaga, no? [4:10] Pero yun lang din po, [4:11] ma'am, [4:11] Kong Jinky, no? [4:12] If this game of [4:13] cat and mouse [4:14] still hasn't ended [4:16] by July 6, [4:18] kung kailan po [4:18] target ng Senate yan, [4:19] at hindi po pumasok, [4:21] sabihin natin, [4:22] si Senator Bato [4:23] as a Senator Judge, [4:24] what's gonna happen [4:26] to his vote? [4:26] Mabibilang po ba siya [4:27] o siya po ba [4:28] ay abstain [4:30] or not counted at all? [4:33] Kung hindi siya [4:34] makaka-attend [4:35] and presumably [4:36] hindi rin siya [4:37] makaka-vote, [4:38] well, [4:40] considered na [4:41] no vote [4:42] si Senator Bato, no? [4:44] Yeah. [4:45] Maybe it's abstain, [4:46] but of course, [4:47] we know for a fact [4:48] that abstain [4:49] is equivalent to no. [4:50] Nevertheless, [4:52] Rica, no? [4:53] Kahit abstain [4:54] si Senator Bato, [4:55] it doesn't change [4:56] the required number [4:57] of votes, [4:58] which is two-thirds [4:59] of the 24 senators. [5:01] Regardless kasi [5:02] of the fact [5:03] that Senator Bato [5:04] is not present, [5:05] regardless of the fact [5:06] that there's a standing [5:07] warrant against him, [5:10] we still have [5:10] 24 senators, eh. [5:12] No? [5:13] So, [5:13] if the requirement [5:14] of the Constitution [5:15] is two-thirds [5:16] of the senators, [5:17] then yung 16 [5:18] na required vote [5:20] for conviction [5:20] remains, no? [5:21] So, [5:22] regardless of [5:23] hindi siya maka-attend, [5:26] 16 pa rin [5:27] yung required [5:27] number of votes [5:28] for the public prosecutor [5:30] to be able to convict, [5:32] respondent Vice President. [5:34] Sa ngayon po, [5:35] hindi pa naman pong [5:36] nagde-decision [5:37] ang Committee of Rules [5:38] dun sa hinihiling [5:40] ni Senator Marco Letan. [5:41] Mo, [5:41] yun pong online presence [5:43] and online voting. [5:44] May appeal na po ba [5:45] ang public prosecutors [5:46] dito? [5:47] Did you release po [5:48] a statement about this, ma'am? [5:49] Actually, [5:51] dapat pag-debatehan [5:53] muna nila yan [5:54] sa floor, eh. [5:56] The Rules Committee [5:57] should refer it [5:58] to the floor [6:00] kung saan [6:01] dun sila mag-de-debate. [6:02] I'm not certain [6:03] if the resolution [6:06] pertains as well [6:08] to the impeachment process, no? [6:11] Kasi, [6:12] dalawa yan, eh. [6:13] Pwede legislative process, [6:15] gusto nila [6:16] i-allow yung [6:16] electronic voting. [6:18] Pwede rin [6:19] impeachment process, [6:20] gusto nila i-allow [6:21] yung electronic voting. [6:23] But they need to understand [6:25] that magkaiba [6:25] ang rules dyan. [6:27] Merong Senate rules [6:28] for legislative process [6:29] at merong Senate rules [6:31] for impeachment process. [6:32] So, [6:33] if their intention [6:34] really is to change [6:35] the manner of voting [6:36] in the impeachment, [6:38] eh dapat [6:38] naka-express yun [6:40] doon sa resolution [6:42] ni [6:42] Senator Marco Leta. [6:44] Otherwise, [6:45] if it is intended [6:46] for the legislative process [6:47] only, [6:48] it should not be applicable [6:49] to the impeachment process, no? [6:51] But of course, [6:52] we have said [6:53] our position on that. [6:55] Sana naman, [6:56] huwag nila i-consider yun [6:58] because again, [6:59] this is a very sacred [7:00] and solemn duty. [7:01] The senator judges [7:02] need to be present. [7:04] Sabi ko nga, [7:05] sabi ko nga kanina, [7:06] kung nireisk ni Senator Bato, [7:08] yung sarili niya, [7:09] just to be able [7:10] to vote [7:11] for the change [7:12] of leadership, [7:13] eh he has [7:14] more reasons now [7:15] to have [7:17] utmost courage [7:19] to be able [7:21] to do this [7:21] constitutional duty [7:22] for the sovereign [7:24] Filipino people [7:25] whom we serve. [7:26] Yeah. [7:27] Courage is good [7:28] but [7:28] I need to be free. [7:30] Presence is better. [7:30] So you did say [7:36] na [7:36] botohan [7:40] o via online [7:41] lang yung pinag-uusapan natin [7:42] and you definitely [7:43] have a lot of objections [7:45] as far as that's concerned. [7:47] Eh here's ano? [7:47] Yes, yes. [7:48] Here's a scenario po [7:50] na pag-usapan po natin, [7:52] the worst case scenario [7:54] could be that [7:55] there are several senators [7:58] na hindi makakadalo [8:00] sa trial [8:02] at sa botohan [8:04] sa impeachment na parating. [8:06] Kung tama po yung mga [8:08] hinuha o hinahinala [8:10] ng mga iba, [8:11] eh baka magsampanan [8:12] ng mga kaso [8:13] and maybe, [8:14] maybe, [8:15] I underline that, [8:16] maybe some of them [8:18] might have [8:19] their own warrants [8:20] of arrest [8:21] and therefore [8:22] hindi makakadalo [8:24] ang sabihin natin [8:25] dalawa, tatlo, [8:26] maybe even apat [8:27] na senador. [8:29] Tanong, [8:30] ganun pa din po ba [8:31] ang bilangan [8:32] ng two-thirds? [8:34] Meaning, [8:34] is it two-thirds [8:35] of 24 [8:36] or two-thirds [8:37] of whoever [8:38] attended [8:39] religiously [8:41] yung trial na yun? [8:43] Peter, [8:44] sila ay hindi convicted [8:46] and considered [8:48] as detention [8:49] prisoners only [8:51] dahil [8:52] may kaso sila [8:54] which is [8:54] no bail, [8:55] that's the context [8:56] of your question. [8:58] They still, [8:59] hindi pa suspended [9:00] yung kanilang [9:01] political right, [9:02] hindi pa suspended [9:04] yung kanilang [9:04] right to vote. [9:05] So yung absence nila [9:07] because of their [9:08] detention [9:08] will be considered [9:10] as abstention. [9:12] And to answer [9:13] your question, [9:14] yung two-thirds, [9:15] it remains [9:16] two-thirds [9:16] of the 24 senators [9:18] which is [9:19] 16, [9:20] no? [9:21] Regardless [9:21] of your assumption [9:23] na baka may makulong [9:25] in addition [9:25] to the situation [9:27] of Senator Bato, [9:28] 16 pa rin [9:29] ang requirement [9:30] sa public prosecutor [9:33] for us to be able [9:35] to convict [9:35] the respondent. [9:37] So, [9:37] was that implemented [9:38] during the time [9:39] na nakapiit po [9:41] si Senator De Lima? [9:43] I am not so certain [9:46] but maliwanag [9:48] kasi Peter eh, [9:50] it's only conviction [9:51] which will suspend [9:52] their right to vote eh, [9:54] kapag na-convict. [9:55] So, [9:55] kung hindi pa convicted, [9:56] it means they have [9:57] the right to vote pa rin. [9:59] However, [10:00] they cannot cast the same [10:01] because they are [10:01] detained, no? [10:03] So, [10:03] considered na abstention [10:04] lang yun. [10:05] And so, [10:06] when you say [10:07] abstention [10:07] and [10:08] theoretically, [10:11] hypothetically, [10:13] nagbotohan sila, [10:14] kailangan [10:15] 16 pa rin, [10:17] eh, [10:17] nabawasan na yung [10:18] 16 na yun. [10:19] I mean, [10:19] if we are [10:20] to forecast, [10:21] hindi mahaabot [10:23] yung 16 na yun [10:24] to convict [10:25] or to [10:26] acquit. [10:28] Well, [10:28] we will see. [10:29] Parang ang binanggit mo [10:30] naman kanina, [10:31] tatlo ah. [10:32] Tatlo? [10:34] Tatlo, [10:34] pero saan kampo galing? [10:37] Tatlo, [10:37] sabi mo. [10:38] Tapos si Bato, [10:39] si Senator Bato. [10:41] So, [10:41] it means may 20 pa [10:42] na natitirang [10:43] senators, [10:44] di ba? [10:45] No? [10:46] Yeah, [10:46] tama. [10:47] So, [10:47] depende kung [10:49] minority [10:50] o majority. [10:51] Pero ako ha, [10:52] my inclination [10:53] really is, [10:54] sana naman [10:55] mag-attend [10:56] lahat ng [10:56] 24 senators [10:57] because, [10:59] sabi ko nga kanina, [11:00] this is an important [11:00] constitutional process [11:02] na sana, [11:03] isa-isang [11:03] tabi muna natin, [11:05] lahat ng [11:05] political issues, [11:06] lahat ng [11:07] political noise, [11:08] most especially [11:08] our political [11:09] affiliation, [11:10] let's just [11:11] concentrate on [11:12] the best interest [11:13] of the Filipino [11:13] people because [11:14] I think [11:14] that's the [11:15] best parameter [11:16] and how [11:17] they are going [11:17] to decide [11:18] on this [11:19] impeachment [11:20] trial. [11:21] One more [11:23] from me, [11:23] Kong Jinky, [11:24] ano po ba [11:25] ang mga [11:26] pagde-desisyonan [11:28] dito sa [11:29] trial [11:29] ng Senado? [11:32] Kasama na rin [11:33] po ba dito [11:33] yung perpetual [11:34] disqualification [11:35] and will there be [11:36] what of the [11:38] articles of impeachment? [11:39] Ilan po balih [11:40] yung pagde-desisyonan [11:41] natin dito? [11:42] Actually, [11:43] the voting must [11:44] happen per [11:44] article. [11:46] But the way [11:48] I see it, [11:49] tatapusin muna [11:50] ang presentation [11:51] ng apat na [11:51] articles and [11:52] then the [11:52] senator judges [11:53] will be asked [11:54] to vote [11:54] individually. [11:56] For example, [11:57] the first [11:57] article is [11:58] confidential [11:58] fund. [11:59] On the [11:59] first [11:59] article, [12:00] tatawagin [12:01] sila isa-isa [12:01] to vote. [12:02] On the [12:02] second [12:02] article, [12:03] tatawagin. [12:04] Tapos [12:04] conviction, [12:05] just one [12:06] article, [12:07] makonvict lang, [12:07] that should be [12:08] enough. [12:08] Kapag naka-16 [12:10] votes in [12:11] one article, [12:12] that should be [12:13] enough to [12:13] convict the [12:14] impeachable [12:15] official and [12:16] impose upon [12:17] her the [12:18] penalty of [12:18] perpetual [12:19] disqualification. [12:20] Although I [12:20] understand, [12:21] during the [12:22] time of [12:22] SP Tito Sen, [12:25] naririnig ko siya [12:26] during interviews [12:27] ang sinasabi niya, [12:30] parang divided [12:31] yung school of [12:33] thought about [12:33] the perpetual [12:34] disqualification [12:35] that there should [12:36] be a separate [12:36] voting for [12:37] perpetual [12:38] disqualification. [12:39] But for me, [12:39] there should [12:41] be one [12:41] voting only. [12:43] Kasi kaya [12:43] ka magpe-perpetual [12:44] disqualification. [12:45] Kasi [12:45] kinunvict mo na eh. [12:47] And that is [12:47] why, [12:48] that explains [12:49] the use of [12:49] the word [12:49] end. [12:51] Removal [12:52] and [12:52] perpetual [12:53] disqualification [12:54] from holding [12:55] public [12:55] office. [12:56] So for me, [12:57] it's one [12:58] voting only. [12:59] And it [12:59] carries already [13:00] the removal [13:01] as well as [13:02] perpetual [13:03] disqualification. [13:04] Siyempre, [13:05] ibang senaryo [13:06] naman yun, [13:06] kasi tinatanong [13:07] tayo minsan, [13:08] kung paano [13:09] pag nag-resign, [13:09] ibang senaryo yun. [13:11] Pag nag-resign [13:12] ahead of the trial, [13:14] mooted ang removal. [13:15] Bakit mo pa siya [13:15] i-remove? [13:16] Nag-resign na nga. [13:17] Diba? [13:18] So that's what we call [13:19] moot and academic na [13:20] yung issue ng removal. [13:21] Kasi she [13:22] she voluntarily [13:23] left already [13:24] the position. [13:25] And that is why [13:26] I said, [13:26] even in spite [13:27] of resignation, [13:29] the trial [13:29] should continue [13:31] because there's [13:31] another penalty [13:32] which must be [13:34] imposed, [13:35] which is [13:35] perpetual [13:36] disqualification. [13:37] And that is why [13:38] the senators [13:38] need to see [13:39] the evidence [13:41] for them to be [13:41] able to determine [13:42] if they will be [13:43] imposing the penalty [13:45] of perpetual [13:45] disqualification. [13:46] Opo. [13:47] Para lang po [13:48] malinaw sa mga [13:49] medyo nalilito, [13:50] kasi ang mga taong [13:51] bayan po, [13:51] akala, [13:52] kala ko ba [13:53] na-impeach na [13:54] doon sa lower house? [13:56] Ano pa ang [13:56] trial sa Senado? [13:58] When you say [13:59] convicted, [13:59] Kong Jinky, [14:00] what does [14:01] convicted mean? [14:02] And is that [14:03] different from [14:04] impeached? [14:07] Yeah. [14:08] By impeached, [14:08] it means you found [14:09] probable cause [14:10] to remove [14:12] and to impose [14:13] perpetual [14:14] disqualification. [14:14] But remember, [14:16] that power [14:16] does not [14:17] fall within [14:18] the House [14:20] of Representatives. [14:21] That power [14:22] is exclusive [14:23] to the Senate. [14:24] Pag kinompare [14:25] natin ito [14:26] doon sa [14:27] ordinary criminal [14:28] prosecution, [14:29] pag sinabi mong [14:29] in-impeach, [14:31] ibig sabihin, [14:32] niresolve na [14:33] ng piskal, [14:35] may dahilan [14:35] para tanggalin [14:36] itong public [14:37] official na to. [14:38] Sampa ko yung [14:39] kaso sa court. [14:40] In our case, [14:41] we filed it [14:42] with the Senate, [14:43] the impeachment [14:43] court. [14:44] Now it is [14:45] the impeachment [14:45] court, [14:46] to decide [14:46] whether [14:47] they will [14:48] convict [14:49] or they [14:50] will acquit. [14:51] Pag kinonvict [14:51] sila [14:52] ang impeachable [14:53] official, [14:54] it means [14:54] that she [14:55] will be [14:56] meted [14:56] the penalty [14:57] of removal [14:58] and [14:59] perpetual [15:00] disqualification. [15:02] So, [15:03] ito talaga [15:03] for me, [15:04] it's akin [15:05] to an [15:05] ordinary [15:06] criminal [15:07] prosecution. [15:08] Although, [15:09] this is [15:09] so ingenious, [15:09] I understand [15:10] that. [15:11] We cannot [15:11] classify it [15:12] as simply [15:12] civil, [15:13] as simply [15:13] criminal, [15:14] as simply [15:15] administrative [15:16] or constitutional. [15:17] No, [15:17] this is [15:18] sui generis, [15:19] a class [15:19] of its own. [15:20] Pero kung titignan mo [15:21] yung proceeding, [15:22] somehow, [15:23] by analogy, [15:24] pwede mo siyang [15:25] ipumpara talaga [15:26] sa ordinary [15:27] criminal case. [15:28] Nag-PI ka muna, [15:30] preliminary [15:30] investigations [15:31] of prosecution, [15:32] that is the [15:33] House of [15:33] Representatives. [15:34] And then, [15:35] when we found [15:36] probable [15:36] cost, [15:37] we file [15:37] it with [15:37] the court, [15:38] that is [15:38] the Senate [15:39] impeachment [15:39] court. [15:40] And now, [15:41] the court [15:41] will hear [15:42] the case [15:42] and decide [15:43] on whether [15:43] convicted [15:44] or acquitted. [15:45] So, [15:46] yung criminal [15:47] liability, [15:48] iba pa yun? [15:49] Labas sa senado? [15:50] Iba pa yun. [15:51] Opo, [15:51] okay. [15:52] Iba pa yun. [15:53] As a matter [15:54] of fact, [15:54] after the [15:55] impeachment, [15:56] the [15:57] complainants [15:57] or whoever [15:58] is interested [15:59] can pursue [16:02] criminal [16:03] action and [16:03] even civil [16:04] action [16:04] with the [16:05] regular [16:07] courts for [16:07] civil and [16:08] criminal [16:09] action with [16:09] the [16:10] ombudsman [16:11] as prosecutor [16:12] and then [16:13] they will be [16:14] filing it [16:14] with the [16:15] sagdigad. [16:15] Alright. [16:16] One final [16:16] thought, [16:17] Kong Jinky. [16:18] So, [16:20] nangyari na nga [16:21] yung pinangako [16:22] ni Senate [16:23] President, [16:23] the new [16:24] Senate [16:24] President, [16:25] Kayatano, [16:26] na they [16:27] will [16:27] forthwith [16:28] constitute [16:29] the Senate [16:29] as an [16:30] impeachment [16:30] court. [16:31] Nangyari [16:31] na yun. [16:32] Palagay ba [16:32] ninyo, [16:33] that is [16:34] very [16:34] symbolic [16:35] at wala [16:36] ng drama-rama [16:38] na maaaring [16:39] mangyari [16:39] na mapopostpone [16:41] pa itong [16:42] trial [16:42] sa Senado, [16:43] Kong Jinky? [16:44] Ako talaga, [16:46] I'm giving my [16:47] full faith [16:48] to [16:48] Senate [16:49] President [16:50] Alan [16:51] Kayatano. [16:52] Nakita naman [16:53] natin, [16:53] nag-convene [16:54] naman sila. [16:55] Nakita [16:55] natin, [16:56] nag-pronounce [16:56] na sila [16:57] ng mga [16:57] initial dates [16:58] of trial. [16:59] So I'm [17:00] expressing my [17:01] full faith [17:01] and confidence [17:02] sa leadership [17:03] ng Senate [17:04] na magtutuloy-tuloy [17:05] na itong [17:06] impeachment [17:06] trial na ito. [17:07] Let us [17:08] remember, [17:09] 2024 pa ito, [17:10] 2025, [17:12] 19 Congress pa. [17:14] Tapos similar [17:14] yung grounds, [17:15] confidential fund, [17:16] bribery, [17:17] unexplained wealth, [17:19] and threat. [17:20] Ang tagal na po [17:21] na naghihintay [17:22] ng taong bayan. [17:23] Let us just do [17:24] our constitutional duty. [17:25] And that is why [17:26] during our press [17:28] con, [17:28] sabi ko, [17:29] Peter, [17:29] let us remember [17:31] that what is [17:32] mandated to be [17:33] forthwith [17:33] is not just [17:34] the convening [17:35] of the court. [17:36] What is mandated [17:37] to be forthwith [17:38] is the trial. [17:41] Trial [17:41] forthwith. [17:42] Hindi naman sinabing [17:43] convening the court [17:44] forthwith. [17:45] Ang sabi, [17:46] trial forthwith. [17:47] At pag sinabing [17:48] trial, [17:49] Peter, [17:49] presentation of [17:50] evidence yan. [17:51] that will lead [17:53] to the decision [17:54] of the impeachment [17:55] court which [17:56] either conviction [17:58] or acquittal [18:00] only. [18:01] There should be [18:01] no motion to [18:02] dismiss. [18:03] There should be [18:04] no remand. [18:05] There should be [18:05] no archive. [18:07] Because the rules [18:07] does not provide [18:08] for those. [18:09] Ang sinasabi lang [18:10] ng rules, [18:11] trial forthwith [18:12] which will lead [18:13] to the decision [18:14] of either two. [18:15] Conviction [18:16] or acquittal. [18:18] Maliwanag yun. [18:19] Yun, [18:20] napakaliwanag [18:21] naman talaga. [18:21] Gumaling ako eh. [18:22] Akala ko [18:23] magiging law [18:24] student ako [18:24] agad yun na. [18:25] Itindihan ko eh. [18:26] Kongjinky, [18:27] thank you po. [18:27] Maraming maraming [18:28] salamat. [18:29] And you know, [18:31] it might be [18:32] an exaggeration [18:32] but this [18:33] is the trial [18:34] of the century. [18:36] Twice na eh. [18:37] Dapat yun [18:38] talaga mangyari. [18:39] For us, [18:41] Peter and [18:42] Rika, [18:43] I understand [18:44] may sariling [18:45] preparation [18:45] ang defense team. [18:47] I understand [18:48] nagpreprepare din [18:49] ang senator judges. [18:50] But for us [18:51] public prosecutors, [18:52] our concern [18:53] really is [18:54] mailatag namin [18:56] ng maayos [18:56] yung ebidensya [18:57] for the best [18:58] interest of the [18:59] Filipino people [19:00] whom we [19:01] represent. [19:02] Yan, [19:02] okay. [19:04] Maraming maraming [19:04] salamat kong [19:05] Jinky. [19:05] Kaya, [19:06] nasaan man kayo, [19:07] kinukumusta [19:08] namin kayo [19:08] lagi. [19:09] Dito ko, [19:10] dito, [19:10] dito. [19:15] Ingat kong [19:15] Jinky. [19:16] Good morning. [19:17] Thank you, [19:17] thank you. [19:18] Thank you, [19:18] Peter and Rika. [19:19] At magandang umaga [19:20] po sa lahat [19:21] ng mga nanonood [19:22] at sumusabaybay. [19:23] Thank you so
