00:00Meanwhile, several senators view Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial as a chance for her to prove her innocence.
00:06Hence, the lawmakers called for the trial's commencement, as our Daniel Manalasas reports.
00:13For Senator Rafi Tulfo, the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte should push through,
00:19as he believes that this will also be a chance for the VP to err her side.
00:24Mas maganda diba ma-clear niya yung name niya sa pamagitan ng pagdidepensa niya dun sa impeachment at mapapatunayan na inosente siya as opposed to yung mababasura?
00:34For now, sinasabi nga niya na inosente siya. So, let her prove it na inosente siya. Mas maganda yung ma-prove niya na inosente sa pamagitan ng trial.
00:44Tulfo said there are a lot of allegations against the Vice President asking how she will be able to prove her innocence without trial.
00:51He also believes that the Senate's jurisdiction should no longer be an issue.
00:56Dapat I should be prepared. Hindi ako pupunta doon ng blanco. Dapat meron akong sapat na kaalaman.
01:02Labas na tayo doon, lampas na tayo doon sa delaying tactics na tinatawag. Doon na lang tayo pag-uusapan natin yung sa impeachment trial na.
01:10Meanwhile, Manila's 6th District Representative Bienvenido Abante Jr. called on the Senate to begin the impeachment trial.
01:17He also believes that the recent Supreme Court resolution should not be a hindrance to the trial.
01:23Legal, makatarungan at naaayon sa konstitusyon ang proseso ng impeachment.
01:31Hindi na po dapat i-delete ito. Hindi ito gawagawang reklamo.
01:37Nainiwala po, kahit hindi ako kasama sa prosecutor's team, nainiwala po na ang prosecutor natin handang-handa.
01:43Handang-handa na ilabas lahat ng mga dokumento laban sa ating Vice President.
01:51It can be recalled that Sen. Panfilo Lacson earlier reminded his fellow senators that the filing of motions and pleadings should be the job of the prosecution and the defense teams.
