00:00The prosecution and defense framed their narratives for the public on day one of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.
00:07Lead House Prosecutor Jinky Luistro frames the proceedings as an issue that matters to the ordinary Filipino.
00:13Maaring sabihin na malayo sa buhay nila ang paglilitis na ito.
00:18Ngunit hindi, hindi po, sapagkat ang usapin ngayon ay patungkol sa isang bagay na pag-aari nilang lahat.
00:32Ang kanilang pera, ang kanilang tiwala, ang kanilang karapatan na maningil ng pananagutan mula sa mga pinuno na kanilang pinagkatiwalaan.
00:44Luistro sums up the four articles of impeachment, the alleged irregularities in confidential funds, spending, unexplained wealth, alleged bribery and
00:52corruption of public officials, and threats against the life of the President and his family.
00:57Sa kasaysayan ng ating republika, walang PC Presidente na may kaibigan na hitman. Ngayon lang, walang PC Presidente na nagpapapatay
01:11ng Pangulo. Ngayon lang.
01:14Walang PC Presidente na hantang magpapatay para lamang makaupo sa pwesto. Ngayon lang.
01:22She says the four articles of impeachment are four chapters of the same story, power exercised without accountability.
01:29Meantime, Duterte's lead defense counsel, Sheila Sison, leans on the Filipino people's collective memory in an indirect allusion to the
01:35Marcos family.
01:36Because the Filipino people have shown that they never forget. We, as a nation, never forget.
01:46Sison harps on several themes. The Vice President's electoral mandate.
01:49Whatever one's political persuasion is, the reality is that the prosecution now comes before this court to remove a Vice
01:57President chosen by an overwhelming number of the electorate.
02:01The abuse of power.
02:02While impeachment is a powerful democratic process to call out corruption and grave abuse, impeachment can be abused.
02:12And reminding the court that the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
02:15And the underlying principle for this burden of proof is simple.
02:19Under our Constitution, every accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
