2 days ago

Dahil na nga sa mga kwestiyon sa impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte, blessing in disguise ang turing ni Senate President Chiz Escudero sa ‘di nila agad na pagkasa ng paglilitis. Pati pagbibigay ng kopya ng Articles of Impeachment sa bise, hindi agad ikinasa para hindi umano sila mateknikal.

00:00And because of the questions on the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte,

00:05blessing in disguise by Senate President Cheese Escudero,

00:09they did not immediately stop the litigation.

00:12Even when giving a copy of the articles of impeachment to the vice president,

00:16they did not immediately stop it so that they will not be technical.

00:20Mav Gonzalez was on the spot.

00:23In the middle of a different petition in the Supreme Court

00:28to urge the Senate to immediately start or stop the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte,

00:34Senate President Cheese Escudero said,

00:37It is providential that we did not proceed with the trial because we recessed

00:41so that all of these things will be submitted to the Supreme Court

00:45so that there will be no delay or delay in the trial of the Senate

00:49of this kind of technicality.

00:52The Senate responded to the request of the Vice President to stop the impeachment trial.

00:56But the Solicitor General will answer, according to the leader of the Senate.

01:00We referred that thing to the Solicitor General's office.

01:04As a lawyer standing in the government,

01:07the Senate itself has no answer or preparation to answer that.

01:13The articles to him to start the impeachment trial,

01:17he will refer to the Senate Committee on Rules and Legal Team for study.

01:21If he will ask, according to Escudero,

01:24according to the opinion of some lawyers,

01:26the Vice President was given a copy of the Articles of Impeachment.

01:29But he fears that they might be technical,

01:32so he will first arrange the rules for this.

01:35There is a provision in our rules that the Senate President

01:38shall take proper order of the subject of impeachment.

01:42It's not just a matter of what kind of power this is.

01:45I don't want to give a reason to VP Sara

01:50to go to the Supreme Court again

01:53and to have a chance to know or be informed by the Supreme Court

01:58in what for me is a clear political process.

02:01For now, only the Supreme Court can compel the Senate to start the impeachment trial.

02:06Escudero explained that at least 40 days is needed

02:10for the other parties to submit their pleadings

02:13before the pre-trial starts.

02:15And it won't be until June 30 when the 19th Congress will be over.

02:20How will they deal with this?

02:22And moreover, how will they deal with this if the Senators are not enough?

02:25How can we have a trial of 12 Senators?

02:28And surely, the winner will be decided because there are no two-thirds.

02:32So the soonest time we can convene the impeachment court for trial purposes

02:36would be once the Senate is complete with 24 members.

02:40That will happen after June 30 and once the new Senate has entered into its function.

02:47Even though the impeachment trial of Vice is scheduled to start in July,

02:51the legal team is already forming and preparing a robe for the Senator Judges.

02:55A set-up has also been laid for the impeachment

02:58and the witness stand and table of the lawyers of the various fields are ready.

03:02It was also used in the impeachment of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

03:07According to the Senate, not even a million pesos will be spent on the impeachment trial.

03:12Aside from this, the Senate will get private lawyers to help with the process.
