NewsTranscript
00:00Senate President Chis Escudero insisted that the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte will not affect the case of the Department of Justice.
00:09Next, the NBI filed a complaint in connection with the statements of the Vice President against President Bongbong Marcos.
00:16Let's talk to John Consulta.
00:18When I was killed, you killed BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales. No joke. No joke.
00:31Almost three months after Vice President Sara Duterte released this statement in a virtual press conference,
00:38the National Bureau of Investigation filed a complaint against DOJ in citing the sedition and grave threats.
00:47We believe that our evidences were enough.
00:51The ball is now in the DOJ.
00:53They will determine if they will conduct a preliminary investigation and later, they will file a case in court.
01:04The NBI tried to find the person appointed by the Vice President that he talked to, but they were not able to find him.
01:11The NBI invited Vice President Duterte twice to give a statement, but it was not included in the report.
01:18We are a political straightforward. We did not order or dictate what to do with the case.
01:26Our investigation is based on our evidence.
01:34Once, Vice President Duterte said that he did not release an assassination threat against President Bongbong Marcos.
01:41DOJ confirmed that they received the complaint filed by the NBI.
01:45It will be included in the preliminary investigation of the National Prosecution Service.
01:50Vice President Duterte said that he is expecting this.
01:54According to DOJ, in the crimean grave threat, the Supreme Court said that the intention behind the statement is important,
02:02even if the threat is not scary.
02:04The important thing is that the statement says that there is an intention to threaten.
02:09In the crimean inciting to sedition, the Supreme Court also said that it is not in the cloud of protection of free speech
02:15that the statements are about violence or rebellion.
02:19The violence does not need to be actual as long as the statement is about the intention to incite chaos.
02:28This is the study of the prosecutors based on the evidence.
02:34If the DOJ's case is the vice president's, there is no effect of Senate President Chinzio Escudero's impeachment.
02:41It can continue at the same time, it can be first, it can be second.
02:45The Senate is now drafting what will be the new impeachment rules.
02:49According to Senate President Chinzio Escudero, the plan now is for the Senate to end the election on May 12
02:56and the State of the Nation Address of President Marcos on July 21, more than five months before the Senate.
03:03That is why Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice and Constitution Framer Adolf Ascuna said
03:08that there might be a fall in the Supreme Court that will invalidate the impeachment of the 19th Congress of the Vice President.
03:14The Supreme Court might say it's too late because you need a new complaint because there's a new House of Representatives
03:24and therefore it's subject to the one-year rule that you cannot file more than one impeachment case.
03:33It won't happen. It depends on the action of the Senate that the impeachment court is established.
03:38Unless the tribunal has already acquired jurisdiction because jurisdiction, once acquired, is not law.
03:47Escudero said that the Senate already has jurisdiction.
03:51The Senate already has jurisdiction in this case because we already accepted it.
03:57Whether the court convenes or not, to receive evidence, the jurisdictional orders will be issued by this impeachment court.
04:08In terms of the answer, we already talked about that.
04:11The answer to the question and asking for the approval of the prosecution.
04:17John Consulta, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
