00:00An expert who believes that the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte has reached its peak, Joshua Garcia, is in the center of the news.
00:11If a constitutional law expert, Atty. Domingo Cayosa, is the one to ask, the Senate can start the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:22This is the first thing that Senate President Chief Escudero said, that there will be no impeachment trial because the Senate is on a break.
00:29If you remember, Vice President Sara Duterte was impeached by the Camera, where more than 200 lawsuits were filed in favor of impeachment.
00:37In the program Mike Abelife, Atty. Domingo Cayosa said that the concept of impeachment is clear in a high-ranking official, and that it is the mechanism for redemption.
00:46I believe that when the impeachment complaint comes, the trial shall forthwith proceed.
00:56It means that the complaint will be heard at an earlier time.
01:01Now, there are people saying that because the legislative calendar of the Senate is ending, it's over.
01:15Atty. Cayosa compared the same thing that was decided by the Supreme Court.
01:21The Supreme Court has a decision on this matter, the Pimentel v. Joint Committees of Congress, where Senator Pimentel questioned the existence of the Congress' canvassing board because the Congress has already adjourned.
01:42The work of the Senate and the Camera is not only to make laws, but also to be judges whenever an official is impeached.
01:50Even if the session days of the legislative calendar of the Senate are over, the term of the Senate is still in effect.
02:01The authority, power, and obligation of the Senate will not be lost because the term of the Senate is six years, so there is no guarantee that they can reconvene to sit as impeachment court on the tenth day of their term.
02:20The law expert believes that this is an important move to give the opportunity for the prosecution to present evidence.
02:29This is a legal and clear authority and their duty.
02:36We are talking about public accountability plus fairness.
02:40Meanwhile, on the question of how to resign an impeached official like VP Sara, what will happen?
02:47The impeachment case is over in one sense.
02:55The purpose of the case is to remove the impeached official.
02:57The trial has been stopped.
02:59But there is a perspective that it can be continued.
03:02Yes, it can be continued.
03:04Because the penalty for the convicted official is the disqualification from public office.
03:12Correct.
03:15There is no precedent like that, but it's happening, like the Supreme Court.
03:19The issue is over.
03:21It's been a long time, but they will still finish the case of a convicted official so that there will be guidance.
03:28Especially this, there is a possibility that if you are impeached, you can automatically be disqualified from public office.
