NewsTranscript
00:00Desperate and politically motivated. That is the reaction of Davao City 1st District Representative Paolo Duterte
00:20in his hasty impeachment proceedings against his brother, Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:26The articles of impeachment were transmitted by the camera yesterday.
00:30The Senate is now in charge of the litigation and decision-making here.
00:35Tina Paniban Perez has the first news.
00:41There is a motion to direct the Secretary General to immediately endorse to the Senate the impeachment complaint.
00:48Having been filed by more than one-third of the membership of the House or a total of 215 members, is there any objection?
00:58The Chair hears none. The motion is approved. The Secretary General is so directed. The session is suspended.
01:07On the last day of the session, the camera impeached Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:22After 215 congressmen endorsed the impeachment complaint.
01:28That is too much for the 102 or one-third of all congressmen so that it will not be heard by the camera.
01:35In the list of impeached, the names of Presidential Son and Ilocos Norte Representative Sandro Marcos are the first.
01:43There is none in the list of Pampanga Representative Gloria Arroyo, known as an ally of the Dutertes.
01:50The four impeachment complaints endorsed by congressmen were seven.
01:57The first one is that the Vice President laughed at a live broadcast against the President, First Lady and House Speaker that he will be killed.
02:06I talked to a person and I told him that if I get killed, kill BBM, Lisa Araneta and Martin Romales. No joke. No joke.
02:18The Vice President's second visit to the Confidential Funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education was also included.
02:28The Vice President also gave money gifts to some officials of the DepEd related to procurement.
02:35The Vice President was also included in the articles of impeachment.
02:40The Vice President also mentioned murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the extrajudicial killings in Davao City when he was still a mayor.
02:51He also mentioned vices that aim to destabilize the government.
02:57One of the things he mentioned was his visit to Maisong Rally where his father, former President Duterte,
03:05met President Bongbong Marcos.
03:07He said that he didn't know how to be a president and this is what he said.
03:13I imagined myself cutting his head.
03:19The most recent death in impeachment, the vices and vices of vices,
03:24is to show deceit in the trust of the people and abuse of power,
03:30which proves that he is not fit to serve the government.
03:34Vice President Sara was the first vice president to be impeached in history.
03:39But she will not leave her post because the Senate Impeachment Court still needs to go through litigation.
03:47The three impeachment complaints filed in December against Vice President Sara Duterte
03:53will not be transmitted to the Senate but to the archives of the Camera.
03:58From the Camera, the articles of impeachment were brought to the Senate.
04:04Based on the rules of impeachment of the Senate,
04:07Senate President Chis Escudero will preside over the impeachment proceedings.
04:12Together with other senators, they will stand as judges in the impeachment court.
04:17Senator Bato de la Rosa is an ally of the Dutertes.
04:22I'm not denying that I am identified with the Dutertes.
04:27But then again, a decision will be made once I have studied the articles of impeachment and the outcome of the trial.
04:42I'm still a politician.
04:44The session of the Senate has been adjourned.
04:46The impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte has not been discussed.
04:51According to Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel,
04:54it is possible that when the session of Congress returns in June,
04:58the issue will be discussed.
05:00Rules can also be amended and the convening of the impeachment court will be early.
05:06If the senators meet, the will of the majority will be partnered.
05:11So it depends on the Senate President how he wants to handle this situation.
05:15In the normal course of events, it looks like in June.
05:19Because what I'm saying is very extraordinary.
05:21Eleven congressmen will form the prosecution team for the impeachment.
05:26GMA Integrated News is trying to get Vice President Duterte's statement regarding the impeachment,
05:33but he still has no official permission.
05:35But in December, he said that the impeachment complaints have already been handled
05:41so that he can answer the accusations against him.
05:44Some of the allegations against the impeachment complaint have already been denied.
05:49Vice President Davao City First District Representative Paulo Duterte
05:55said that he is desperate and politically motivated to hasten the impeachment against his brother.
06:03Political persecution led to the manipulation of some lawmakers
06:07to spread signatures and expedite his baseless impeachment case.
06:13We are also trying to get the statement of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
06:17who was the first to say that his father is the legal counsel for his son.
06:22This is the first news. Tina Panganiban Perez for GMA Integrated News.
06:30Vice President Sara Duterte is the first vice president who was impeached in the Philippines.
06:35Let's go back to the officials of the country who also faced impeachment.
06:38In the first news, JP Soriano.
06:44This is one of the unforgettable events of the administration of President Joseph Estrada in 2000.
06:50...on the verified complaint for impeachment against His Excellency President Joseph Ejercito Estrada
06:56for alleged bribery, graft and corruption, betrayal of public trust, and culpable violation of the Constitution.
07:05The reading of the articles of impeachment against Estrada in the plenary of the camera
07:11was even tried by his allies.
07:14Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, point of order.
07:29Mr. Speaker, I rise to raise a point of order.
07:36But they were beaten.
07:57Because of this, Estrada became the first president of the country to be impeached.
08:03The no vote have it.
08:06I represent!
08:09Even though his impeachment trial was not completed,
08:12the prosecution of Edsa Dos, who accused him of bribery,
08:16because Estrada was alive in the vocabulary of the Filipinos,
08:20the word impeachment.
08:24This is the process that was included in the Constitution
08:27for the removal of presidents,
08:30vice presidents, members of the Supreme Court,
08:33and leaders of the Constitutional Commissions,
08:36as well as the Ombudsman.
08:38In the investigation of the GMA Integrated News Research,
08:42it was first tried in 1949
08:45when President Elpidio Quirino filed an impeachment complaint.
08:50In 1964, President Diosdado Macapagal was also faced with this.
08:56And in 1985, President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
09:00All of his complaints were trashed.
09:03This process was also used against President Cory Aquino in 1988,
09:08but it did not succeed.
09:11Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was attacked
09:14by subsequent impeachment complaints from 2005 to 2008,
09:19but none of them succeeded.
09:23Former President Roy Aquino was also faced with this in 2014
09:27and Rodrigo Duterte in 2017,
09:30but all of them were also trashed.
09:33Impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte.
09:37Is there any objection?
09:39The chair hears none. The motion is approved.
09:42The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte
09:46became a history.
09:49Because she was the first vice president to be impeached in the country,
09:54but she was not the first vice president to be faced with an impeachment complaint.
10:00Estrada was also faced with this when she was a vice president in 1994.
10:05Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was also faced with this in 2000.
10:10None of them succeeded.
10:13Impeachment complaint against Vice President Noel de Castro in 2005
10:19and Lenny Robredo in 2017 were also accepted.
10:22But none of them endorsed the law.
10:27In total, five officials in the country were impeached after the EDSA revolution.
10:33That was President Estrada in 2000,
10:36former Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez in 2011,
10:39former Chief Justice Renato Corona in 2012,
10:43former Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista in 2017,
10:47and now Vice President Duterte.
10:51This is the first news.
10:53J.P. Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
10:58We are still in the middle of the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
11:01We will talk to one of the House Prosecutors in the impeachment trial
11:06of Manila 3rd District Representative Jowel Chua.
11:09Good morning Congressman Chua.
11:12Good morning to all of your viewers.
11:15Reaction to the statement of B.P. Sara.
11:19Desperate and politically motivated.
11:22This impeachment proceeding of B.P. Sara is easy.
11:27Why did you endorse the impeachment complaint on the last day of the session?
11:35If we look at it, maybe two months ago,
11:39there were already those who filed impeachment proceedings.
11:43In fact, there are already three.
11:45If we look at it, if we pass this through the committee proceedings,
11:53this is what we're saying that we will file to the Committee on Justice,
11:57this will reach, or maybe the session is already over,
12:01but the impeachment proceedings in the Committee on Justice are not yet over.
12:06If that happens, there will be a one-year ban.
12:10All of this will be back to zero.
12:13What the House did is a route, what we call house action.
12:22This is the arrest of one-third vote.
12:25If we look at the first impeachment proceeding that was filed,
12:29there are 23 articles.
12:32If we look at it one by one, it's already over.
12:36The 19th Congress is not yet over.
12:41This is a process and this is a law.
12:45I don't see anything wrong with this.
12:48In fact, this is what our countrymen are asking for.
12:52So it's not desperate and politically motivated.
12:55This went through a thorough litigation.
13:02We saw that those who followed the Committee on Good Government,
13:06we saw that there's a basis.
13:10Right from the very beginning, they asked me if there are grounds here.
13:15I believe, based on the evidence that we have,
13:20that there are grounds.
13:22We can say that it's impeachable offense.
13:24Congressman Chiu, please explain.
13:26Why were there four complaints filed?
13:28What's the difference with the first three?
13:30The first three will go through the Committee on Justice.
13:35If this goes through the Committee on Justice,
13:39there will be a new litigation here.
13:42There will be hearings in the committee.
13:46This will go through.
13:48Like I said, the 19th Congress might be over.
13:52The committee hearings are not yet over.
13:55If that happens, it's a fact.
13:58We have a rule.
14:00In our rule, there's a one-year ban.
14:03Impeachment is prohibited?
14:06Yes. After one year.
14:08What are the four complaints?
14:11There are only seven.
14:14The first one is the statement of D.B. Sara when she received a meltdown,
14:25when she threatened our President, First Lady and the Speaker,
14:31where she said that she hired someone to kill our President.
14:41If you remember, this is live.
14:43The second and the third are included in the confidential funds.
14:51The second one is the confidential funds.
14:54The third one is the confession of Laiusik Mercado that they received.
15:02Here, we can see that there's a bribery.
15:05All of these, including her confession, including the committee hearing of the Quad Cong,
15:13where there were witnesses who said that our Vice President was involved in the EJK.
15:23What is the status of President Bongbong Marcos' call that the Vice President should not be impeached
15:30because it will result in the division of the Filipinos and it's not a priority for the country's main problem?
15:36We are a democratic country.
15:41This is just a demonstration that the Congress is not a rubber stamp of the President.
15:48This is our separation of power.
15:52We are an executive.
15:54We are just carrying out our constitutional mandate or constitutional duty.
16:00If you remember, when there were impeachments filed,
16:04the first three complained.
16:06The people themselves are asking us why we're not taking action.
16:11That's why the Camera is taking action.
16:14So this is not a rubber stamp of Malacanang, even though Congressman Sandro Marcos is the number one complainant?
16:21Congressman Sandro Marcos is... he's represented by the constituents.
16:31I believe that he's acting as a congressman.
16:38Maybe it's natural for him to be interested in this matter because if you remember,
16:46some of the statements that were filed involve his parents.
16:51We can also see that there are grounds and allegations can be heavy in the articles of impeachment.
17:02After the election, the impeachment court of the Senate might continue.
17:06The time of the senators might change and some might not be able to return.
17:11What is the implication of this, Congressman?
17:14The Senate is a continuing body.
17:19Even if it can be finished, it will continue because there are still 12 members in the Senate.
17:26Even if it changes, the impeachment proceedings will continue.
17:31The most important thing here in the Camera is that it can be removed because we will finish this.
17:37When this is finished, there's nothing we can do.
17:40We will go back to zero and that's when the one-year ban will be lifted.
17:44Okay. Thank you very much. Manila 3rd District Representative Jowel Chua. Be careful.
17:49Thank you very much. Long live together.
17:53We are still here at the North Avenue Station of the EDSA bus carousel
17:57because one of the recommendations of the government to reduce the heavy traffic here in EDSA
18:03is to remove the EDSA busway.
18:06But we saw how much of a big help to our fellow countrymen
18:12is the efficient system here in the EDSA busway.
18:16Their transportation here in the EDSA busway.
18:19In 2020, the EDSA busway was installed to have unhampered or continuous routes and trips for public transportation,
18:30particularly for the buses that our fellow countrymen can ride.
18:33But this will be restricted by some regulations because we know that this EDSA bus carousel
18:42is only for the buses and emergency vehicles that respond to emergency cases
18:47and also for the top five officials of our government,
18:51the President, Vice President, Senate President, House Speaker, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
18:56But that's why the operation of the MMDA Traffic Enforcers to catch those buses was postponed.
19:05And earlier, we talked that one of the passengers is hoping that this EDSA busway will not be removed.
19:11And regarding the issue of traffic here in EDSA,
19:15we talked to Transportation Undersecretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure, Jesus Ferdinand-Andy Ortega.
19:22Good morning to all of you.
19:23Yusef, Andy Ortega, this is Maris.
19:25Let's go live to the first news.
19:27Maris, good morning.
19:29Good morning to all of us.
19:31Good morning.
19:32Good morning.
20:02Are you studying that if this busway is removed and congestion will increase, the traffic here in EDSA will be eased?
20:08First of all, as far as I know, this is a study between MMDA and an organization on how to help,
20:19to suggest about the traffic.
20:21But this is a study and definitely, many agencies should be involved in this discussion.
20:31That's why on the part of DOTR, Maris, we issued a statement that definitely,
20:36the service provided by the bus carousel is continuous.
20:40Millions are benefitting from this.
20:43We also have plans to expand this bus carousel so that we can help more commuters here in Metro Manila.
20:56So how big is the possibility that this EDSA busway will be removed later on?
21:05And I'm also saying that this will only happen if the capacity of the MRT is increased.
21:11Is there a timetable on how fast that will happen?
21:16You know, the MRT and bus carousel, they complement one another.
21:23It is not a choice between MRT or bus carousel.
21:27They can be together continuously.
21:31Especially now, we have a plan and this will be released.
21:36We will expand the bus carousel.
21:38It will extend to Monumento, it will extend further to PICX.
21:43We are talking of Fairview, Alabang, and we're talking of more buses entering here, more stations.
21:51So we can see that the bus carousel is continuous because we can see on the streets that we will help our ordinary citizens.
22:03Every day, we need to help them enter.
22:10Alright, so based on what we heard from you, it looks like this EDSA busway will be removed.
22:20As far as I can see, we will increase it and we will increase the number of stations and buses.
22:27Because first of all, it is not only efficient, our bus fare is also cheaper as compared to other modes of transportation.
22:35So maybe we will look for other ways to help the traffic.
22:41Because here in DOTR, what is important to us is we move people.
22:47We need to move a lot of people to bigger vehicles.
22:51That is the contribution of DOTR to our traffic problem, especially in Metro Manila.
23:01Usec, how feasible is the creation of congestion fee for four-wheel vehicles passing through EDSA?
23:09First of all, I think it is just a study.
23:13Definitely, there are a lot of things that need to be discussed.
23:17I do believe that it is being done in other countries, in other cities.
23:21But it is being done if the mode of transportation is good, if our private motorists have a good alternative,
23:31so they have a reason not to use their vehicles.
23:35They will go to public transport that is very convenient when that time comes.
23:41Maybe they can avoid that problem because we are giving our motorists a good option for them to have a reason not to use their cars
23:51and then for the government or agencies to impose some kind of a fee.
23:55But that is one thing that needs to be studied and a lot more needs to be included and given to our motorists before those things can be implemented.
24:07All right, the whole country is looking forward to that study before the policies of our government agencies are implemented.
24:16Thank you very much for your time and for the information you gave us.
24:20Transportation Undersecretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure, Jesus Ferdinand Andi Ortega.
