00:00Under the preliminary investigation of the DOJ,
00:04Vice President Sara Duterte was accused of inciting to sedition and grave threat
00:09that the NBI challenged her to fight.
00:11According to the 2nd President, she is now expecting the accusation.
00:15Witness, John Consulta.
00:20When I was killed, you killed BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales. No joke.
00:28No joke.
00:31Almost 3 months after Vice President Sara Duterte released this statement
00:36in a virtual press conference,
00:38the National Bureau of Investigation filed a complaint
00:42against the DOJ for inciting to sedition and grave threats.
00:47We believe that our evidence was enough.
00:51The ball is now in the DOJ.
00:54They will determine if they will conduct a preliminary investigation
01:00and later file a case in the court.
01:04The NBI accused her of looking for a man who was accused of sedition
01:08that she talked to, but they did not mention it.
01:11The NBI invited Vice President Duterte twice to give a statement,
01:16but it was not included in the report.
01:18We are political straightforward.
01:21We did not order or dictate what should be done in the case.
01:26Our investigation is based on our evidence.
01:34Once, Vice President Duterte said that he did not release an assassination threat
01:38against President Bommo Marcos.
01:40DOJ confirmed that they received the complaint filed by the NBI.
01:45It will be included in the preliminary investigation of the National Prosecution Service.
01:49Vice President Duterte said that he was expecting this.
01:53According to the DOJ, in the crime of grave threat,
01:56the Supreme Court said that the intention behind the statement is important.
02:01Even if the accuser is not afraid,
02:04it is important to state that the statement has a scary intention.
02:09In the crime of inciting to sedition,
02:11the Supreme Court also said that it is not in the cloud of protection of free speech
02:16that incites violence or rebellion.
02:19The violence does not have to be actual
02:22as long as the statement was made with the intention to incite chaos.
02:27The prosecutors will study this based on the evidence provided.
02:33If the DOJ is the accused,
02:36Senate President Jesus Guerrero has no effect on impeachment.
02:40It can continue at the same time, it can be first, it can be followed.
02:45The Senate is now drafting what will be the new impeachment rules.
02:49According to Senate President Jesus Guerrero,
02:51the plan now is for the Senate to finish the election on May 12
02:56and the State of the Nation Address of President Marcos on July 21,
03:00more than five months before the SONA.
03:03That's why the retired Supreme Court Associate Justice
03:06and Constitution Framer Adolf Ascuna said
03:08that there might be a fall in the Supreme Court
03:10that would invalidate the impeachment of the 98th Congress of the Philippines.
03:14The Supreme Court might say it's too late
03:16because you need a new complaint
03:20because there's a new House of Representatives
03:23and therefore it's subject to the one-year rule
03:27that you cannot file more than one impeachment case.
03:33This will not happen
03:35Depending on the action of the Senate, an impeachment court will be established.
03:38Unless the tribunal has already acquired jurisdiction
03:43because jurisdiction, once acquired, is not lost.
03:47As Guerrero said, the Senate already has jurisdiction.
03:51The Senate already has jurisdiction in this case
03:55because we already accepted it.
03:57Whether the court convenes or not to receive evidence,
04:02jurisdictional orders will be issued by this impeachment court
04:07regarding the answer, we already talked about that,
04:11the answer to the defendant and the request of the prosecution.
04:17For GMA Integrated News, I am John Consulta, your witness.
04:25Dear viewers, be the first to witness.
