Transcript
00:00Lumagdag ang Philippine Constitution Association of Filconsa
00:03sa mga kumakwestiyon sa pagbabalik na impeachment court
00:06ng Articles of Impeachment sa Kamara.
00:08At kaugnay po niyan, mga kapanayan po natin si Filconsa
00:11Governor Attorney Dindo Garciano.
00:13Magandang umaga po sa inyo, attorney.
00:15Si Maris po ito at live po tayo sa unang balita.
00:18Magandang umaga sa iyo, Maris, at sa inyong mga tagapaginig.
00:21Una po sa lahat, sir, may mga binanggit po kasi yung Filconsa
00:24na constitutional concerns, no?
00:26Kaugnay ng ginawa na impeachment court
00:28kabilang yung grave abuse of discretion,
00:31encroachment sa exclusive power ng House, at iba pa.
00:34Pakipaliwanag nga po itong pahayag po ninyo.
00:37Okay.
00:39First, let's go to the remanding.
00:42Order remanding.
00:44The case by the impeachment court to the House of Representatives.
00:49Ang tingin po namin doon,
00:50yan po ay isang order na nalimboy.
00:54Kasi yan po ay encroachment sa constitutional prerogative.
00:58ng House of Representatives to be the sole initiator of impeachment complaints
01:05against impeachable officials.
01:08That is the constitutional basis in saying that the order remanding the case
01:15to the House of Representatives is nalimboy.
01:19Now, it is also grave abuse of discretion
01:22because since it's an alimboy order
01:24and since it went beyond the authority of the impeachment court for them to do,
01:31then that is an exercise that's a grave abuse of discretion.
01:34It amounts to a whimsical, capricious, and despotic exercise of jurisdiction
01:42which is unamount to lack of jurisdiction.
01:45So, yan ang mga pinring-up namin.
01:48At saka yung sinasabi nga ni Chief Justice Puno rin
01:52na mayroong circumlocutory na mga pamamaraan na ginawaan.
01:59Ang term nga is circumlocutory.
02:00It means to say that the impeachment court seems to be exercising their jurisdiction
02:06but in effect, they are evading the exercise of jurisdiction
02:11because they are doing evasive maneuvers
02:15to be able to say that we are exercising our jurisdiction
02:19but in effect, we are not.
02:22So, that is dangerous.
02:24Ito po yung sinasabi ng Felconza na tila nagpapaikot-ikot daw po
02:28ang Senado para i-delay yung trial
02:30at ano po ba ang magiging implication nito kung sakasakali?
02:36Hindi nagpapaikot-ikot para i-delay.
02:39Pag sinasabi mong imi-ikot para i-delay,
02:44ginagamit mo yung exercise of jurisdiction mo in some ways.
02:48Ang sinasabi natin dito is
02:50they are exercise, they are parang, let's put it bluntly, parang lukuhan.
02:57Okay?
02:58Pinakikita namin, pinakikita namin sa tao
03:01na ine-exercise namin ang aming constitutional duty.
03:05Na-exercise namin ang aming jurisdiction over the case
03:10as an impeachment court.
03:12Pero in effect, hindi namin ginagawa yun.
03:14Yun ang ibig sabihin nun.
03:16In effect, hindi namin ginagawa yun
03:18at gumagawa kami ng mga pamumaraan o dahilan
03:22para hindi gawin yun.
03:24Pero ang pinalalabas sa tao,
03:28ang pinalalabas sa publiko ay
03:30ginagawa nila.
03:32Yan po ang ibig sabihin ni Chief Justice Puno
03:35dun sa SIRM Locatory.
03:38Attorney,
03:40ano po ang posibleng mangyari
03:41kung halimbawa manindigan ng Senado o Impeachment Court
03:43na sila talaga yung masusunod kaugnay po rito
03:45sa pagbabalik ng Articles of Impeachment sa Kamara?
03:47Ay, hindi naman sinasabi na sila ang masusunod
03:55because they are the ones that teach you the order.
03:57Kasi as an Impeachment Court,
04:00of course, korte sila, sila yung usgado,
04:03the prosecutors are the ones facing the order.
04:06So, to build yourself in a court setting,
04:09the judge is in front of you,
04:13is above you,
04:14and the prosecutors are lower than the judge.
04:17So, if you say, on that context,
04:19hindi kayo equal, no?
04:20But it doesn't necessarily mean
04:22that kung anong sabihin ng korte
04:24o Impeachment Court
04:26ay susundin ang prosecutors.
04:28Kaya nga may tinatawag tayong mga legal remedies
04:31na bago tayo sumunod sa isang kautosan,
04:35na inaakala natin hindi nahaayon sa batas
04:39o sa legal batas,
04:40ay marami tayong legal remedies na gawin
04:44para yun ay pasinungalingan
04:46o yun ay atakihin
04:48para sa tinatawag,
04:49ang ginagawa ninyo ay nabag sa batas.
04:52Yan ang ibig sabihin nun.
04:59Kaya, ano ang mga legal remedies?
05:01Yes, exactly. Ano po yun?
05:02Okay.
05:04Ang sinabi ni Congressman Joel Chua Kangina
05:07na ang kongreso daw ay may plano
05:09mag-file a motion for clarification.
05:12Okay?
05:13Okay.
05:15Sa...
05:16Pag nag-file ka ng motion for clarification
05:19sa aking pananahong mo,
05:22yan ay isang magbaaring magkaroon ng implied admissions.
05:27Implied admissions na tinatanggap mo na tama
05:31ang atlegal,
05:34ang inisong order ng Impeachment Court.
05:37Dahil humihingi ka nga ng clarification.
05:39Parang,
05:40kaya ka humihingi ng clarification,
05:42gusto mong sundin.
05:43Okay?
05:44Okay.
05:44Kaya,
05:46paki, ano mga sa sinasabi mo,
05:49pakilingwanag mo nga dahil,
05:51ano eh,
05:52gusto ka namin sumunod.
05:53Anong ibig mo sabihin?
05:55That is the,
05:56that is an implied admission.
05:58Okay.
05:59Okay.
06:00Pero para sa akin,
06:01para sa akin,
06:02yun ay
06:03mahinang remedy.
06:06Okay.
06:06Anong malakas
06:07na legal remedy?
06:10Yes.
06:10Ang sinasabi nga natin
06:11ay
06:12unconstitutional
06:14at not and void
06:15yung order ngayon.
06:17So mag-file,
06:18dapat nang gawin sana,
06:19eh mag-file ka ng motion
06:20for reconsideration.
06:22Atakihin mo yung order.
06:24Sabi mo mo
06:25that your order,
06:27with all due respect,
06:28your honors,
06:29is not and void.
06:30It's void of inisyo.
06:32Okay.
06:32Okay?
06:33From the very beginning.
06:34Why?
06:34Because it's
06:35violative
06:36of the Constitution
06:37which gives us
06:39in the House of Representatives,
06:40the prosecutors,
06:41the sole authority
06:43to initiate
06:44impeachment complaints
06:46against impeachable officials.
06:47And you have no business
06:49telling us
06:49to prove
06:51that our articles
06:53of impeachment
06:53or complaint
06:54is constitutional
06:56or not.
06:57It is not for us.
06:58The burden of proof
06:59is not on us
07:00to prove
07:01the constitutionality.
07:02It is for the defendant
07:04to prove
07:05that our articles
07:08of impeachment
07:10is unconstitutional.
07:13Pasabi-sasabi nila,
07:14wala kaming demanda.
07:16We do not have
07:16a cause of action.
07:18So it is the defense
07:19who should face that
07:20and who has to prove that.
07:22But not the impeachment court.
07:25The impeachment court.
07:26So very quickly,
07:30dahil ba sa nangyayaring ito,
07:31pwede bang sumiklab
07:32ang isang
07:32constitutional crisis
07:33at ano ang papel
07:35ng Phil Konsa
07:36sa mga
07:37constitutional processes
07:38na yan ganito
07:39gaya ng impeachment?
07:41Well,
07:42dapat talagang
07:43walang mangyaring
07:45constitutional crisis.
07:47Because
07:48a constitutional crisis
07:49will not good
07:50for the nation.
07:52Okay?
07:52There must be
07:53some sort of
07:55way
07:56that
07:57the impeachment court
07:59could proceed
08:00without delay
08:01and without
08:02any deadlocks.
08:04Okay?
08:05So sa tingin ko naman,
08:06the
08:07prosecutors
08:08and
08:09members of the Senate
08:10at the self-impeachment
08:12court
08:12are
08:12reasonable
08:14people,
08:15patriotic
08:16people
08:16who would rather,
08:18who would not
08:19allow
08:19a
08:21national crisis
08:23to
08:23happen
08:25by virtue
08:26of allowing
08:27a constitutional
08:28crisis.
08:29Alright.
08:29Huwag naman
08:30ilang gawin yun.
08:31Because,
08:32you know,
08:33if
08:33there will be
08:35a stalemate,
08:37then
08:37hindi naman sila
08:39ang mag,
08:39hindi naman sila,
08:40hindi naman yung mga
