00:00Yes, ma'am.

00:04Sinisisi po ng ibang mga mababatas na membro ng Makabayan Block sa pagpapaliba ng impeachment ay si President Marcos,

00:12na nauna nasasabing hindi niya gusto ang impeachment. Any comment mo?

00:16Naku ma'am, hindi ko po alam no, hindi ko po nasusundan actually yung mga nangyayari sa Pilipinas

00:24kasi magkaiba yung time zone. So, gising na gising tayo dito, tulog naman sila lahat doon sa Pilipinas.

00:35Hindi ko nasusundan. Pero ang pagkakaintindi ko ay madaming procedural lapses na nangyayari na labag sa Constitution.

00:46May naamoy daw po na ang ilan sa nagsulong na impeachment niyo sa ginawang pagpapaliba ng Senado sa impeachment proceedings,

00:57may mga nangasabing na allegedly may pinagpotiktahan at pinatatakutan daw po si Senate President Escudero.

01:07Well, sa pagkakilala ko naman kay Senate President Cheese Escudero ay hindi natatakot yun.

01:14In fact, isa siya doon sa mga, kasama ba siya sa Spice Boys?

01:17Hindi, pero impeachment ni GMA.

01:20Yes, no?

01:21Yes, three times.

01:22Oh yes, there was a group called Spice Boys at the time sa House of Representatives, di ba?

01:27Yung mga matatapang na mga batang congressman.

01:33Parang kasali siya doon.

01:35But sa impeachment po, siya yung minority floor leader.

01:37Yeah, so anyway, yes, we do not remember him na, I do not know him na natatakot na klase na politiko.

01:50So, hindi ko lang alam saan nanggagaling yung sinasabi na takot si Senator Cheese Escudero.

01:57Hindi ko alam saan galing yan.

01:58Yes, ma'am.

02:00Last talk.

02:01The Senate seems to be in conflict as to when they tackle the impeachment.

02:06If 19th Congress can carry it forward to 20th, or you know, any comments?

02:13Well, yan, ma'am, kina-question din namin yan, yung pag-crossover from the 19th to the 20th Congress.

02:22Dahil ang composition ng House of Representatives, yung lawyers ko na lang magsalita, ma'am,

02:28kasi papagalitan na naman ako nila.

02:32Papagalitan na naman ako noon, ma'am, yung mga lawyers ko.

02:35So, tanong natin yung lawyers.

02:43So, tanong natin yung lawyers.
