00:00In the case of the prosecution,
00:02there are a lot of objections to them
00:06in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09They say to the legal experts,
00:11this is really the case for the people.
00:13This is Marie Zumaari.
00:19Did the respondent utter
00:26that she already contracted
00:35a person
00:39to kill
00:43the President,
00:46the First Lady,
00:47and the former Speaker of the House of Representatives?
00:53Are you done?
00:54Objection?
00:55Objection, Your Honor.
00:56Wow!
00:58Sa mga nanonood na impeachment trial
01:00ni Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:02may mga nabibitin.
01:03Dahil hindi pa nasasagot ng testigo ang tanong,
01:06hinaharom na agad ng kabilang panig.
01:08Nakita ito sa direct examination
01:10ng unang testigo ng prosekusyon.
01:12You said that your office conducted an investigation
01:15on the statement made by the Vice President
01:18dated November 23, 2024.
01:22Correct?
01:22Objection, Your Honor.
01:24Leading.
01:25Your Honor.
01:25Your Honor, he's not on direct.
01:27Minsan, hindi pa natatapos kahit ang tanong.
01:30Objection, Your Honor.
01:31Oh, wait, wait, wait.
01:32Allow the counsel to finish his question.
01:34What have you done?
01:37Relax.
01:39At ngayon namang isinalang ang witness
01:41sa cross-examination ng depensa,
01:43ang prosekusyon naman ang panayang pag-oobject
01:45sa paraan ng pagtatanong ng depensa.
01:47I'm also flashing this on the screen, Your Honor.
01:50Highly improper, Your Honor.
01:52Relevance, Your Honor.
01:53Relevance.
01:54Objection.
01:56Misleading.
01:56Your Honor, Your Honor.
01:57Compound question.
01:59Objection.
01:59Vague.
02:00Objection, Your Honor, please.
02:01Misleading.
02:01Can I object to that, Your Honor, please?
02:04I'm asking, sir.
02:05I'm asking, sir.
02:07Trabaho po talaga ng abogado na pagtatanong bayanan
02:07sa kahihinat na ng impeachment trial
02:09na hindi naman lahat ay may legal background.
02:13Kahalagang maintindihan bakit mapanay ang pag-oobject ng mga abogado.
02:17Tanong ng marami, normal ba ito?
02:19Legal ba?
02:20O panghihimasok na?
02:21O pagharang ba sa katotohanan?
02:24Ayon sa isang legal expert.
02:25Kung legal sa korte po ito,
02:28yung judge po kasi,
02:29hindi po siya pwede tumingin ng ebidensya
02:31sa labas ng record
02:32or na-admit na ebidensya.
02:34So, mahalaga po talaga yun.
02:35Trabaho po talaga ng abogado na pigilin yung pagpasok ng ebidensya,
02:38lalo na kung may valid grounds naman.
02:41Mas pataso yan.
02:42Ang tanong,
02:43paraan ba ito para pigilan ang paglalabas ng katotohanan?
02:46Part of the trial
02:49because the defense has the right to object to the evidence
02:52presented by the prosecution.
02:56Paliwanag ng depensa,
02:57hindi ito pagharang sa katotohanan.
02:59Well, kasi po under the rules,
03:01when someone is doing a direct examination,
03:04you cannot ask leading questions.
03:06Yung questions that are answerable by yes or no.
03:09Bakit?
03:09Kasi kung ganun ang question,
03:11parang yung abogado na yung nagbibigay ng testimony
03:13tapos kinukumpirma na lang ng testigo, hindi ba?
03:16So, yung mga ganun bagay,
03:18hindi kasi pwede yan.
03:20At marami pang ibang mga grounds for objection.
03:23Paliwanag naman ang depensa,
03:25kung bakit madalas ay hindi na pinatatapos ang tanong,
03:28bahagi raw ito ng legal strategy.
03:30Ang mahirap kasi dyan,
03:31sometimes,
03:32pag hindi masyadong mabilis ang objection mo,
03:34baka bago ko pa mag-object,
03:36nakasagot na yung testigo.
03:37At pag sumagot mo?
03:38Siyempre on record na yan.
03:40Pag yung prosecution,
03:41sinabing bahagi ng legal na proseso ang pag-o-object.
03:43Dalawa lang ang pwedeng maging appreciation dyan.
03:47Either they believe that there is a genuine basis for objection
03:50or just part of the legal strategy.
03:53That's part of the trial,
03:54and it really happens.
03:55Maris, umali ang inyo.
03:57Saksi!
