NewsTranscript
00:00Iginit po ng isa sa mga bumalangkas sa 1987 Constitution na labag sa Saligang Batas ang pagbasura sa impeachment laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte sa pamamagitan lang ng resolusyon ng walang paglilitis.
00:15Ipiniliwanag din niya ang ibig sabihin ng court with na siya mismo ang nagpalagay.
00:20Saksi, si Joseph Moro.
00:22Itigil naan nila ang teka-teka, mismong sa tapat ng Senado ng alampag ang ilang grupo gaya ng tindig Pilipinas.
00:33Ang gusto po natin now na simulan yung impeachment.
00:35Kasama sila sa iba't ibang grupo at institusyon na nananawagang simulan na ang impeachment proceedings laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:43Kaysa sa panawagan ng ilang religious group at leader gaya ni Linggayan na grupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas na tinawag na kasalanan ng pag-delay o pag-abort ng paglilitis.
00:53Giyit naman ang Makati Business Club magkundin na ang impeachment court dahil kung di raw susundin ng batas, paano mahihikayat ang mga investors sa Pilipinas?
01:02Sa tatlong impeachment complaint na nakatuntong sa Senado sa ating kasaysayan, ngayon lamang susubukan ng ilang senador na ipadismiss ang kaso kahit walang paglilitis sa pamamagitan ng isang resolusyong pagbobotohan ng mga senador.
01:16Ayon kay retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna, labag sa konstitusyon ang resolusyon.
01:21It's very clear under the Constitution that the Senators have the power and the duty to try and decide impeachment cases. So they cannot abdicate that duty.
01:36Bilang miyembro ng Constitutional Commission na bumalangkas sa 1987 Constitution, si Azcuna nagpalagay ng katagang forthwith sa Article 11, Section 3.
01:46It can mean immediate. It can also mean without unreasonable delay. Forthwith, in the necessarily right away, there can be some delay as long as it's reasonable.
02:01Nung binabalangkas ang konstitusyon, isinaalang-alang daw nila ang ibang trabaho ng Kongreso tulad ng paggawa ng batas.
02:08Forthwith is a flexible term. There are matters of legislation that are also very important and the confirmation of appointments have to be done.
02:20So the Senate President cannot be totally blamed for seeing that these matters have to be attended to by the Senate before the 19th Congress bows out.
02:32Because otherwise, these will lapse. These are matters that will lapse. Whereas the impeachment does not lapse.
02:41Ayon kay Justice Azcuna, ang pwedeng gawin ng Senado ay simulan ng impeachment process at hayaan ang Senado ng 20th Congress na litisin at desisyonan ito.
02:51Pwedeng gawin niya ng 19th Congress hanggang June 30.
02:53Because it is not a legislative matter. The adjournment is for purposes of legislative matter. What is adjourned is the legislative calendar.
03:06The 19th Congress still exists. There have been Supreme Court decisions saying that after adjournment, sine day, it can continue.
03:15Pero kung halimbawa na mapigil nga ng resolusyon ng impeachment sa 19th Congress, maaari pa rin itong buhayin sa 20th Congress pero ang mga senador lamang na bumoto pabor sa resolusyon ang maaaring gumawa nito.
03:29Bata ito sa parliamentary procedure kung saan ang isang bumoto para sa nanalong resolusyon lamang ang maaaring humingi muli ng botohan sakaling nagbago ang isip nito.
03:39That can happen only if one of those who voted with the majority to dismiss the articles will be the one to ask for a reconsideration.
03:51For someone who is against its dismissal to vote for a dismissal so that he or she, as a surviving member of the Senate, can ask for reconsideration in the 20th Congress.
04:06Kung maharang pa rin ang impeachment complaint sa 20th Congress, maaaring mauwi ito sa isang constitutional crisis.
04:14The only one that can remedy that crisis would be the Supreme Court because one branch of government, Congress, represented by the Senate, refuses to fulfill its constitutional duty, which is part of the checks and balance because this is a check on the executive impeachment of the Vice President.
04:41Sa non-commissioned survey ng OCTA Research, 78% ang naniniwalang dapat humarap si Vice President Duterte sa impeachment trial para linisin ang kanyang pangalan sa pamamagitan ng pagsagot sa mga akusasyon.
04:55Ayon naman sa defense team ni Vice President Duterte, handa silang humarap sa mga akusasyon laban sa lise na anilay walang basihan.
05:03Nanindigan ang defense team na may kahinaan sa konstitusyon ng impeachment process laban sa kanya.
05:10Di rin daw ito dapat ginagamit para mangaras, patahimikin o alisin ang mga political opponent.
05:15Para sa GMA Integrated News, ako si Joseph Morong, ang inyong saksi.
