Let the truth convict her. >> I move for the approval of the committee report. Setting forth the articles of impeachment against the vice president Sarah Z Duterte as amended. No move.

Madam ch >> please raise your right hand that 55 out of 55 justice members physically present the chair thereforce declares the motion unanimously approved. Malayo pa pero malayo na. That is where we stand today. a

Marinان our first hearing March 2 we established sufficiency inform for sufficiency in substance we ask the vice president to file her answer and she did At ang nakapirma 16 na abogado 16 lawyers. Pero ang answer na isinumite halos 10 pages lamang at nakatutok lang sa mga technicalities, sa mga paligoy-ligoy, bagay na ikinagulat ng marami dahil sa totoo lang.

y answer thatoided the question noch 18 weermined that the complaints allege sufficient grounds for impeachment sumunod ang hearing sa march 25 kung saan we settled the preliminary matters most espcially ang pag-issue ng mga subpina then came the marathon hearings of ail 14 22 andil 29 resource person we heard theid wein theidan angatami we had our ups and downs.

We had our inflows and outflows of testimonies and documents. through it all one thing we never went sideways hindi tayo naligaw nanatili weve sometimes slow painfully always for the truth Sinunstitus hindi tayo hindi tayocut we honored the process hakbang bawat salita, bawat ebidensya hinarap natin ng buong pag-iingat at pananagutan sa paglalakbay na ito.

sinubalo we the president we Opo. Maraming hakbang ang ginawa upang pigilan ang prosesong ito. Pero sa kabila ng lahat hindi tayo natin for in the end it is not the absence of struggle that defined us but the refusal to lose our way the discipline to stay the course and the clarity to never lose sight of where we are going.

nakaraangin we have seen theidga nakinesya ni madriaga naase ebidensya mas kilala sa pangalang sir ram pangalawa ang mga misteryosong envelopes at ang mgaable resibo. Pangatlo ang paliwanag ng NBI tungkol sa magkakaibang pangalan ngunit iisa ang pirma. Pangapat, ang sertifikasyon ng PSA na walang record ang mga pangalang katulad ng Mary Grace Piatos.

Panglima, ang COA findings na nag-uutos ng refund na 73 million at 375 million. Pangim ulat ng AMLC patungkol sa 6.7 billion na mga transaksyon. naga ngice presidente ng kanyang asawa. Pangitoga natuklasan ni formerator Antonio Tranes na ang malaking bahagi ng kayamanang ito ay may kaugnayan sa illegal drugs at ang mas nakakagulat ang pahayag na ito ay tumutugma sa record ng AMLC.

Pangwoga dokumento mula SEC na nagpapatunay na walang kinikita ang mgaanya ng presidente kahit nanatili siyang aktibo sa isa sa mga kanyang ito na ibigin pagsabay niya ang pagiging presidente ng negosyo. At nitong huling pagdinig lamang noong April 29, dalawang bagay naman ang napag-usapan natin. Una, ang selyadong kahon mula sa BIR na sa kabila ng matinding debate hindi muna natin binuksan kahit nasa kapangyarihan naman natin na buksan ito.

Sabi nga ni Deputy Speaker Janet Gen, ang puso natin ay gustong buksan ito. Pero ang isip natin nagsasabing huwag muna at dagdag pa rito nagpahayag si Congressman Benny Abante. Hindi porket kaya nating gawin ang isang bagay ay dapat na nating gawin. At ang pangalawa, ang mga ebidensya ng pagmumura at ang pag-contract ng assassin.

Grabe po itong mga ebidensyang ito. Lalo na yung video ng vice presidente. Kong Layla De Lima describe it perfectly when she said, “Nong gabing iyon, nakita natin ang totoong Sarah Duterte. Nanlilisik angosibo sa tenga dahil sasabang that conwed her own painful ofol niya at naagay hindi biro ito ay seryosong pangano yan lahat ng natalakay natin pinag-aralan natin lahat ituri

ang bawat anggulo katulad ng paalala ni congressman brant po noong nakaraang pagdinig seryoso ang tungkulin nating ito at dapat ratuhin ito na may kaukulanget ng lahat ng ebidensyang ito sa kabila ng lahat ng diskusyon natin may isang bagay na hindi nagbago ang upuan ang bakanteng upuan Presidente ilalim pero humarap angimantenga

malayo We already have a sworn statement. isang sinumang salaysay angagalangeno ang nakasa doon cash o cash deposit ngayon itabi natin na iyon sa lahat ng ebidensyang ating naipon doon lumabas ang tanong na hindi na natin matatakasan kapag ang sinumpaang dokumento ay nagsabing zero cash pero ang official report ay nagpapakita ng bilyon-bilyong transaksyon.

Saan tayo maniniwala? Kaya naman noong April 29, the committee on justice decided that we have seen enough. No need to extend, no need to give one more chance to someone who refuses to attend. Sabi ni conangan makeup ang laging nagka-cutting by a unanimous vote this committee found probable cause to impeach vice president sarte for culpable violation of the constitution bribery gra corruption, other high crimes and betrayal of public trust.

That brings us to today ngayon May 4 kukumpirmahin natin kung ano man ang mga nangyari noong nakaraan sa pamamagitan ng isang committee report. We are here to final the comm resolution of our commice angengo dahil sa buong listahan ng mga kongreso ang tanging at binigyan ng partular na mandato ng ating constitusyon

we were given that name for a reason today we hope we have lived up to that name committee on justice na hustisant presidente sambayange But more than that, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the people behind this work. Hindi biro ang pinagdaanan nating lahat ngentongin at sinuri natin resource personage.

Thank you so much at staff na hindi nakikita pero sila nagingund ba hearing. Maraming maraming maraming salamat sa inyong lahat and to the Filipino people. Maram salamat inagsubayang tinitimbanggahanangapatin. Hindi tayo magsisimula sa wala. Ang bawat hakbang natin ay hindi na pabalik kundi padretso sa katotohanan.

Malayo pa pero malayo na. Mahaba pa po ang tatahakin nating landas patungong plenaryo at patungado hindi na tayo nangangapa marami na tayong naungkat marami na tayong naisiwalat hindi natin hahayaang masayang lahat ng itang this is justice demands because only then can we truly achieve accountability may public official na nagkaroon ng seryosong paratang huwag nating baliwalain nating palampasin

Kapag may kailangang ipaliwanag huwag tayong titigil hangga’than let us this to its logical conclusion otherwise the cycle of impunity will only repeat because we owe it to the next generation of Filipinos to show that no one no matter how powerful no matter the title is above the law nating hayaangay atingansaultura if we fail theition for

Maraming salamat po >> Madam Chair, >> the honorable DSJ Suarez. Um in so far

as we have acted on the all the proposed amendments of our colleagues again I move for the approval of the committee report the attached resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment against the vice president Sarah Z Duterte as amended. So move Madam Chair. Second Madam Shair >> there is a motion to approve the committee report with the attached resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment against the vice president as amended the same has been seconded.

Is there any objection? Madam >> Chair Madam Chair just a bit of um an amendment to the motion. What’s the pleasure of the honorable? >> Can we add with the attached articles of impeachment? >> We are following the wordings of the rules of impeachment. >> Yes. The articles of impeachment. So no need to specify with the attached.

>> I don’t think it is needed. >> Thank you. >> We’re following verbat in the rules of impeachment. Is there any objection hearing none? Then it means that this is unanously approved. But again for purposes of accuracy of the record may I request the justice members present to raise their hand to show support in the approval of the committee report.

 The attach resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment as amended. Please raise your right hand. เอ س Let it be on the record that 55

out of 55 justice members physically present manifested their support to the approval of the committee report to the attach resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment as amended. The chair thereforce declares the motion unanimously approved. Madam chair, Madam chair, the honorable ko. Madam chair, may I briefly explain my vote and express a reservation? >> I’m like how many minutes will it take? >> Maybe two.

>> 2 minutes. Okay, you may proceed. >> Thank you, madam. chair Madam Chair over the weekend as the articles of impeachment and the report is also being finalized this representation sent over comments on substantive matters to specifically on the wordings of political destabilization so while this representation is gladen to have some of the some of its comments uh taken in consideration and the final complaint uh at the end of it I just like to express on the floor uh my reservation in the use of the words

political destabilization in the subheadings uh treating it as a crime in the same vein as grave threats or inciting to sedam chair uh is at the end of the day this representation cannot agree to the inclusion of the act quote unquote in citing to sedachment and And the bigger reason is political which is that it is being used um unfairly and unjustly to critics and activists as the Philippine law broadly defines the crime as any speech in any form that generates hate quote unquote against government or any of its officers. There have been

instances in previous cases where inciting to sedition was used where it is said no that if it arouses among its viewers a sense of dissatisfaction against the july constituted authorities specifically in the case of bicoy versus Duterte this is already inciting to sedition and this is why madam chair uh I have reservation in the use of that and I believe It is already sufficient that the crime of grave threats to President Marcos Jr.

and to public scrutiny in general, security in general should be enough. But nonetheless, uh this representation voted yes to the articles of impeachment. That is all madam chair. >> The manifestation of the honorable co is noted. Pursu to section section section section 9 of the house rules of procedure in the impeachment proceedings.

 The committee report together with the resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment as amended and as approved shall be submitted to the house and shall be calendared for the consideration by the house within 10 session days from receipt thereof. In this committee secretariat is directed to provide copy of the approve the approv committee report with attached resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment to the respondent vice president the complainant as well as the members of the justice committee.

So ruled. May I solicit the necessary motion? >> Madam chair >> the honorable DS Janet Garin >> move to adjourn. Considering that we have approved already the committee report the articles of the attach resolution setting forth the articles of impeachment we are now adjoining the proceeding impeachmentceeding of the justice committee the hearing is adj Lord
