01:31The no votes have it.
01:34Ere preside!
01:37Even though his impeachment trial was not completed,
01:39Edsa 2 continued to investigate him in his position.
01:44Because of Estrada, the word impeachment came alive in the vocabulary of the Filipinos.
01:51This is the process in the Constitution for the removal of presidents, vice presidents,
01:59members of the Supreme Court, and leaders of the Constitutional Commissions, as well as the Ombudsman.
02:06In the investigation of the GMA Integrated News Research,
02:09it was first tried in 1949 when President Elpidio Quirino filed an impeachment complaint.
02:18In 1964, President Diosdado Macapagal was also faced with this.
02:23And in 1985, President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
02:28All of those complaints were trashed.
02:31This process was also used against President Cory Aquino in 1988.
02:36But it also did not succeed.
02:38Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was tried by subsequent impeachment complaints from 2005 to 2008.
02:47But none of them succeeded.
02:51Former President Inoy Aquino was also faced with this in 2014 and Rodrigo Duterte in 2017.
02:58But all of them were also trashed.
03:01Impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara G. Duterte.
03:05Is there any objection?
03:07The chair hears none.
03:08The motion is approved.
03:10The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte became a history.
03:16Because she was the first Vice President to be impeached in the country.
03:21But she was not the first Vice President to be faced with an impeachment complaint.
03:28Estrada was also faced with this during her time as Vice President in 1994.
03:33Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was also faced with this in 2000.
03:38None of them succeeded.
03:41Impeachment complaint against Vice President Noly De Castro was also approved in 2005.
03:46And Lenny Robredo in 2017.
