00:00I'll give you a few minutes to go to Senator Bam. Usually, I'll give you a few minutes to do
00:03this.
00:03It's like a diesel.
00:04At the beginning, it's because of the first time it's been a deal.
00:08It's been a long time, it's been a year, but I'll give you a few minutes to go.
00:15Senator Judge Bam Aquino, before we declare a recess.
00:19Yes, just a quick manifestation Mr. President.
00:21You may proceed sir.
00:23We're done with the first witness.
00:25It's taken us maybe a total of nine hours for the first witness.
00:33This is a talk to the same group.
00:37I know we have a style, a strategy, but if possible, can we allow the testimonies to be heard?
00:46Can we have proceedings that will go straight to the point?
00:51Kasi po, nanonood ang taong bayan, pati po kaming mga Senator Judge.
00:55Gusto rin po namin makita itong mga proceedings, yung mga ebidensya, na mas madaliwing maintindihan.
01:03So ito naman po, di po namin pwede itong idikta sa inyo.
01:06But if possible, the succeeding witnesses, and we have a long list.
01:10This goes for both parties, by the way.
01:11Let's have proceedings where we can go straight to the point, malaman natin yung puntos ng bawat grupo,
01:19para makapag-desisyon rin po tayo ng maayos.
01:21Ito po isang, this is a plea, no? This is not an order to both parties.
01:27But if we can, this is the People's Tribunal, we're watching, everybody's watching.
01:32Sana po, payagan natin na lumabas yung mga katotohanan, lumabas yung mga ebidensya,
01:38upang maging mas madali at mas kaaya-aya po yung ating proceedings.
01:41Yun lang po, Mr. President.
01:43Thank you so much.
01:43Noted and entered into the records.
01:45Chair would like to give Senator Bam.
01:47Bibigyan ko ng konting pag-asa sa Senator Bam.
01:48Usually, ang mga paglilitis tulad nito, parang diesel yan.
01:51Sa simula, syempre dahil una pa lamang,
01:56nagkakasanayan, nagkakaestimahan,
01:57pero bibilis at bibilis ito sa pagdaloy din ng ilang araw lang ng trial natin.
02:01And you will be able to see that the next couple of days.
02:04Chair declares a 15-minute recess.
02:06We all come back.
02:12How are you?
02:18With followers for more information,
02:18we're all come back to you next time,
02:19as we can find that you're willing to.
02:20I'll see you next time.
