NewsTranscript
00:00This is Philippine Coast Guard vessel.
00:04We have this massive...
00:07Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:14Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19On the last day of the session,
00:21Vice President Sara Duterte was impeached by the camera.
00:25She was the first Vice President to be impeached in the history of the country.
00:30More than 200 lawmakers advocated for the impeachment of the Vice President
00:34because of the violation of the Constitution,
00:36violation of the trust of the people, trust and other crimes.
00:40Tina Pangaliban Perez was live.
00:43Tina.
00:47Mel Emil was the first time a Vice President of the country was impeached by the camera.
00:54The 4th impeachment complaint was endorsed by 215 congressmen
01:03against Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:06More than 102 or one-third of all the members of the camera
01:11so that it will not be corrected here in the camera.
01:14In accordance with the rules on impeachment of the camera,
01:17the House Secretary General immediately brought the articles of impeachment to the Senate
01:22in the Senate Impeachment Court.
01:25Considering that the Secretary General has certified
01:29that at least 215 members of the House of Representatives
01:36have verified and swore before him this said impeachment complaint
01:41against Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte
01:46and consistent with our rules,
01:49I move that the Secretary General be directed immediately
01:55to endorse the same to the Senate.
01:58There is a motion to direct the Secretary General to immediately endorse to the Senate
02:04the impeachment complaint.
02:06Having been filed by more than one-third of the membership of the House
02:10or a total of 215 members,
02:13is there any objection?
02:15The chair hears none.
02:17The motion is approved.
02:19The Secretary General is so directed.
02:22The session is suspended.
02:34Culpable violation of the Constitution,
02:37flagrant betrayal of public trust,
02:39graft and corruption,
02:41and other high crimes are grounds for impeachment.
02:44Along with the allegations that Vice President Duterte committed the crime
02:48he admitted in a live broadcast
02:50that he contracted the murder of President Bongbong Marcos,
02:54First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos,
02:56and House Speaker Martin Romaldes.
02:59The worst-case scenario that we can see is...
03:03He violated the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President
03:07and the Department of Education when he was its secretary.
03:12He gave cash gifts to some officials of the DepEd
03:16related to procurement.
03:18Then he gave unexplained wealth
03:21and did not declare all of his money and assets
03:25in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth.
03:29This includes more than 2 billion transactions from 2006 to 2015
03:35in some joint accounts of former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:40when he was still a local official of Davao City.
03:43This also includes the allegations that he committed extrajudicial killings
03:48and that he repeatedly attacked the administration of Marcos
03:52including his involvement in a rally
03:55that was called upon by the President to step down from his post.
03:58According to the impeachment complaint,
04:00it was shown that the officials of the Vice President
04:04violated the trust of the people
04:07and abused their power
04:09proving that he is not fit to serve the government.
04:13The 3 impeachment complaints filed in December
04:17against Vice President Sara Duterte
04:19will not be transmitted to the Senate
04:22but only to the archives of the House of Representatives.
04:25Even though Vice President Duterte has been impeached,
04:28he will not step down from his post
04:30because the Senate Impeachment Court still needs to investigate.
04:35Once it's approved, it will be transmitted to the Senate.
04:39Sir, that means Vice President Duterte is already impeached.
04:43Yeah, yeah. Well, the word is impeached.
04:46But of course, she has to be tried by the Senate.
04:50So even if she's impeached and not yet convicted by the Senate,
04:55she is still the sitting Vice President.
05:05On the list of signatures,
05:07first is the name of Presidential Son and Ilocos Norte,
05:11Representative Sandro Marcos.
05:13None of those who were involved in the impeachment,
05:16former President Gloria Arroyo,
05:18who is now the President of Pampanga.
05:21Emil?
05:22Thank you very much, Tina Panganiban Perez.
05:26GMA Integrated News is working hard
05:28to get Vice President Sara Duterte's support
05:31in impeaching her in front of the camera,
05:34but she still hasn't been convicted.
05:36But Duterte said in December
05:39that it's good that the impeachment complaints have been filed
05:44so that she can answer the accusations against her.
05:48Representative Paulo Duterte called
05:51that she is desperate and politically motivated
05:54to hasten the impeachment against her brother.
05:58Political persecution,
06:00the manipulation of some laws
06:03to get signatures
06:05and to hasten the impeachment case.
06:09GMA Integrated News is also working hard
06:12to get the approval of former President Rodrigo Duterte
06:15who was the father of the legal counsel
06:18for his son, VP Sara.
06:22The impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte
06:25is already in the Senate.
06:27After the official endorsement of the camera,
06:29from the Senate,
06:30live,
06:31Ma'am Gonzales.
06:32Ma'am.
06:37Emil, just over an hour after the camera referred
06:40the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte,
06:43the Senate already accepted it yesterday.
06:50At 5 p.m. yesterday,
06:52House Section Reginald Velasco arrived in the Senate.
06:55The thick documents of the articles of impeachment
06:58against Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:01It's the last day of the Congress session today
07:04before the three-month break for the election.
07:07So it's uncertain if it will be on the agenda
07:10of the discussions today.
07:12It depends on the Senate.
07:14We will respect whatever decision they have.
07:17But it's their constitutional duty
07:20to act on this.
07:22Is there a possibility that they will take action in June?
07:26They can convene a court even during the break.
07:33Because this is a non-legislative function of the Senate.
07:38Impeachment prosecutors are already in front of the hearing.
07:42It was already normed earlier,
07:44with our transmission,
07:47the name of the prosecutors,
07:4911 prosecutors,
07:51who are all members of the House.
07:53Will it be private?
07:55Yes.
07:56Will it be private?
07:58Yes, it can be private.
08:00Like in the previous impeachment trials.
08:05Velasco went straight to the office of
08:07Senate Secretary Ray Bantug.
08:09It's the ministerial duty of the Senate Secretary
08:11to accept the articles of impeachment
08:13and turn it over to the Senate leaders.
08:16It must be included in the agenda
08:18and be read in the plenary before the impeachment court convenes.
08:22Based on the rules of impeachment of the Senate,
08:24Senate President Cheese Escudero
08:26will preside in the impeachment proceedings.
08:28And along with other senators,
08:30judges will stand in the impeachment court.
08:33Senator Bato de la Rosa is an ally of the Dutertes.
08:37I'm not denying that I am identified with the Dutertes.
08:42A decision will be made
08:46once I have studied the articles of impeachment
08:50and the course of the trial.
08:52How the prosecution presented their case.
08:55It's still political.
08:57If it won't change,
08:59the impeachment court will continue to listen
09:01except if it's a weekend or holiday
09:03until a decision is made.
09:05The impeachment court also has the power
09:07to call witnesses.
09:15Emil, for now,
09:16there is no fixed date
09:18on when the impeachment court will convene.
09:20There are many possibilities,
09:22according to the senators.
09:23One of them is that the session is still ongoing,
09:25so it can still be discussed tonight.
09:27The session can be suspended for now
09:29and they will continue it tomorrow.
09:31A special session can also be called
09:33or if it's not possible,
09:35there will be a discussion here in June
09:38after the session of the House of Representatives
09:40after the election break.
09:41Emil?
09:42Thank you very much,
09:43Mav Gonzalez.
09:46Eleven congressmen will be formed
09:48in the prosecution team
09:50for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
09:53They are the
09:55House of Representatives
09:57Jerviel Jinky Bitrix-Luis Stroh
09:59of the 2nd District of Batangas,
10:01Romeo Acop of the 2nd District of Antipolo,
10:04Ramon Rodrigo Gutierrez of the One Rider Party List,
10:07Joel Chua of the 3rd District of Manila,
10:10Raul Angelo Hill Bongalon
10:13of the Acovicol Party List,
10:15Loreto Acharon of General Santos City,
10:18Marcelino Libana of the Four Peace Party List,
10:24Arnon Panaligan of the 1st District of Oriental Mindoro,
10:30Isabel Maria Zamora of San Juan,
10:35Lawrence Defenso of the 3rd District of Iloilo,
10:39and Jonathan Keith-Flores of the 2nd District of Bukidnon.
10:45In an interview with the House Secretary General,
10:48Reginald Velasco,
10:49he said that the prosecution team
10:52can also get private prosecutors,
10:55just like what was done
10:57in the Joseph Estrada impeachment trial.
11:01Although Vice President Sara Duterte
11:03was the first vice president
11:06impeached in the Philippines,
11:08four other officials were also impeached in 1986.
11:13Let's go back to the interview of J.P. Soriano.
11:19This is one of the unforgettable events
11:21of the administration of President Joseph Estrada in 2000.
11:35Betrayal of public trust,
11:37and culpable violation of the Constitution.
11:40The reading of the articles of impeachment
11:43against Estrada in the Senate
11:46was even tried by his allies.
11:49Mr. Speaker,
11:50Section 3, Paragraph 4 of Article 11
11:53of the Constitution of the Philippines,
11:55and Section 13 of the Rules of Procedures
11:58and Impeachment Proceedings to wit,
12:00in case the verified complaint
12:02or resolution of impeachment is filed
12:04Mr. Speaker,
12:05I rise to raise a point of order.
12:07Endorsement of the complaint,
12:08resolution to the Senate,
12:09a verified complaint.
12:11But they were beaten.
12:13Accordingly,
12:14the Secretary General is immediately
12:17directed to transmit to the Senate
12:20the impeachment complaint
12:22constituting the articles of impeachment
12:24together with the verified resolution
12:26of endorsement.
12:28Session is suspended.
12:31Because of this,
12:33Estrada became the first President of the country
12:36to be impeached.
12:44His impeachment trial
12:46was not completed
12:47due to the incitement of Edsa Dos
12:49who insulted him in his position.
12:51Because Estrada lived
12:53in the vocabulary of the Filipinos
12:55the word impeachment.
12:59This is the process in the Constitution
13:02for the removal of Presidents,
13:05Vice Presidents,
13:06members of the Supreme Court
13:08and leaders of the Constitutional Commissions
13:11as well as Ombudsman.
13:13According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
13:17it was first tried in 1949
13:20when President Elpidio Quirino
13:22filed an impeachment complaint.
13:25In 1964,
13:27it was also faced by President Diosdado Macapagal.
13:30And in 1985,
13:32President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
13:35All of those complaints were trashed.
13:38This process was also used
13:40against President Cory Aquino
13:42in 1988
13:43but it also did not succeed.
13:45Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
13:48was slapped
13:49by subsequent impeachment complaints
13:51from 2005 to 2008
13:54but none of them succeeded.
13:58It was also faced by former President Noy Aquino in 2014
14:02and Rodrigo Duterte in 2017
14:05but all of them were trashed as well.
14:08Impeachment complaint
14:10against Vice President Sara G. Duterte.
14:13Is there any objection?
14:14The Chair hears none.
14:16The motion is approved.
14:17The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte
14:21became a history
14:24because she was the first Vice President
14:27to be impeached in the country
14:29but she was not the first Vice President
14:31to be impeached.
14:35Estrada was also impeached
14:38during her time as Vice President in 1994.
14:40Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
14:43was also impeached in 2000.
14:45None of them succeeded.
14:48Impeachment complaint
14:50against Vice President Noly De Castro
14:52in 2005
14:54and Lenny Robredo in 2017
14:57but none of them endorsed the law.
15:02In total,
15:03five officials were impeached
15:05after the EDSA revolution.
15:08President Estrada in 2000,
15:11former Ombudsman Mercedes Gutierrez in 2011,
15:15former Chief Justice Renato Corona in 2012,
15:18former Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista in 2017,
15:22and now,
15:23Vice President Duterte.
15:26For GMA Integrated News,
15:28JP Soriano,
15:30for 24 Hours.
15:33It's not just a simple impeachment,
15:36but they violated the initiation rights
15:40of the 12 young men
15:42arrested in Manila.
15:44One of them,
15:45a minor,
15:46was arrested
15:48in the pursuit of John Consuca,
15:51EXCLUSIVE.
15:54These young men were walking
15:56on a street in Santa Ana, Manila
15:58on February 2, 2011.
16:01Soon,
16:03they saw a man
16:05who looked like their brother.
16:10Some members of the Tactical Motorcycle Reaction Unit
16:13arrested 12 young men,
16:15including 10 minors.
16:17At first,
16:18they thought they were being beaten by the CCTV,
16:21but an investigation was carried out.
16:23Our complainant,
16:25or victim,
16:26said that he was joining a group of fraternities.
16:32And there,
16:34our police had an idea
16:37that there was a heasing.
16:39The MPD discovered
16:41that in order to be a member of their gang,
16:43the members must join their gang
16:46within 30 seconds.
16:49We found out
16:50that their initiation was called
16:52a jump-in.
16:53And what we say
16:55that our victim will go through
16:57is what we call
16:59a 30-second massacre
17:01where they will be injured,
17:04beaten,
17:05and beaten.
17:06Those who join their group
17:09are free for all.
17:11So we saw that
17:13the injuries were mostly to his body.
17:16One of the suspects did not deny
17:18what they did.
17:19That's where the beating started.
17:24Can he be arrested?
17:26He will just cover his body.
17:29He will just cover it
17:31so that he won't get hit too much.
17:34Just to show that
17:36they are worthy.
17:38It's like, sir,
17:40that they really joined us.
17:44In our filed case,
17:46Republic Act 11-053
17:50or what we call
17:52anti-heasing law,
17:54where they can be jailed
17:57for 12 years
17:59up to 20 years
18:00and fined 1 billion.
18:03A reminder from the MPD
18:04to the youth and parents.
18:06This is a high penalty.
18:07Many lives were lost here.
18:09Not only their victims,
18:11but also those involved here.
18:13This is very important to our parents.
18:15Watch your children.
18:16Watch their activities
18:18and remind them about these things.
18:21For GMA Integrated News,
18:23John Consulta,
18:24Nakatuto,
18:2524 hours.
18:27It's effective.
18:28Starting today,
18:2955 pesos per kilo
18:31is the maximum suggested retail price
18:33for imported rice.
18:35In the markets in Metro Manila,
18:37it's being implemented.
18:38That's why the Agriculture Department
18:40inspected it
18:41to make sure it's effective.
18:42Bernadette Reyes reports.
18:4855 pesos per kilo
18:50is the maximum suggested retail price
18:53for 5% broken and imported rice
18:55in Metro Manila
18:56starting today.
18:58To make sure it's effective,
19:00the Market Administration Office of PASIG
19:02inspected it
19:03in Mutian, PASIG Public Market.
19:05To make sure the people
19:07can afford to buy
19:09low-priced rice.
19:10The buyer changed the price
19:12before opening the store.
19:14Here, it used to be 56,
19:16so we made it 55.
19:18We earn even a little.
19:20But some can't lower the price right away.
19:23We'll lower the price
19:25before February 15,
19:26as long as we run out
19:28of our old stock.
19:29According to the Department of Agriculture,
19:31they won't issue a Notice of Violation
19:33as long as they follow the new price
19:36as soon as possible.
19:37The target is not to lower the price
19:39to 49 pesos per kilo in March.
19:42Some really run out of their stock
19:44that's higher.
19:45It's always like that.
19:46We're okay with that.
19:48And then for others,
19:49because their supply is cheaper,
19:51they immediately comply
19:53with the 55 pesos.
19:55The competition for 49
19:57is the price in the international market
20:00that we saw initially.
20:02With the trend that we are experiencing now,
20:05we can do it.
20:07In February 15,
20:08the maximum SRP will also be implemented
20:11in the provinces.
20:12But until now,
20:13some rice sellers in Bulacan
20:16have been saying
20:17that they can't lower the price
20:18to 55 pesos per kilo.
20:20The demand for imported rice is high,
20:23so they will lose up to 150 pesos
20:26per cabinet.
20:27According to the Department of Agriculture,
20:29the government's target
20:30is to lower the price of rice
20:32to this level
20:33before July 2023.
20:36The target is 41 pesos per kilo
20:38for regular milled rice,
20:40and 45 pesos for well-milled.
20:42Meanwhile, like rice,
20:44the maximum SRP will also be set
20:46for pork.
20:47They will also discuss
20:48how much and when it will be implemented.
20:51For example, for rice,
20:52the landed cost is low,
20:54but it's being sold
20:56at a higher price in retail.
20:58It's the same for pork.
20:59We're seeing prices for 60, for 50.
21:03So we can really see
21:05that there is a wrong price
21:07when it comes to the market.
21:10For GMA Integrated News,
21:12Bernadette Reyes,
21:13for Tutok, 24 hours.
