On day 7 of the impeachment trial, the court granted the House prosecution panel’s motion to subpoena the bank accounts and tax records of Vice Pres. Sara Duterte and her spouse, Atty. Manases Carpio—sans foreign currency-denominated accounts and records of two firms associated with her.

00:28Day 7 of impeachment trial
00:30Kailangan mula sa unang araw ng paglingkod ng isang lingkod bayan, yung kanyang final na salen, lahat ng mga kinita
00:37niya ay makita natin.
00:39So ang tanong namin, saan ba dito yung relevant or material? Kasi lahat na po ng records, siningi eh.
00:47Ang tagisan ng opinion at legal na basihan kung dapat mang ipasubina ang bank records
00:52ng mag-asawang Vice President Sara Duterte at Attorney Manassas Carpio mula 2007 hanggang 2021.
01:00Dinuldukan ngayon impeachment court presiding officer Cheez Escudero.
01:04The court finds that the requested documents meet the requirements set forth above.
01:09They are reasonably described, readily identifiable, prima facie relevant, and material to relegations under Article 2.
01:16Pagdidiin ang impeachment court, hindi talaga maihiwalay ang bank accounts sa mag-asawa
01:21pero tanging peso, denominated bank records lang ang saklaw ng Sabina.
01:26Foreign currency deposits are governed by Republic Act No. 6426, particularly Section 8,
01:32which recognizes only one exception to confidentiality, the written permission of the depositor.
01:39So far as the request covers foreign currency deposits of the respondent, her spouse, separately or jointly,
01:44as well as the corporation and partnership, it is denied.
01:47Such accounts shall be excluded unless and until written consent of the respective depositors is produced.
01:54May go-signal na rin ng korte na ipasubina ang bank accounts ng labinsyam na iba pang kumpanya
02:00ang datos ng paglabas-masok ng pera sa bank accounts ang mag-asawa mula sa Anti-Money Laundering Council
02:07at ang record ng Bureau of Internal Revenue, ng income tax returns, ng BSE at ng kanyang umunoy negosyo.
02:15Kayon man, sabi ng korte.
02:16The court will only allow these records to be used to establish a factual baseline
02:20against which the respondents' assets, financial transactions, and business interests during her present term may be assessed.
02:28Hindi kasama sa mga pinapasubina ang bank at tax records ng JTC Group of Companies at Piquimong-Piquimong Philippines Corporation.
02:38Their general information sheets do not identify the respondent or her spouse as shareholders
02:43and the prosecution at this time failed to show either a direct business interest
02:47or a clear and convincing basis to disregard their separate juridical personalities.
02:52Para sa depensa, hindi nila masasabing malaking setback ang ruling na halos lahat ng hiling na subpina ng prosekusyon ay
03:01napagbigyan
03:01pero may legal remedies na raw silang maaaring gawin kabilang ang pagdulog sa Korte Suprema.
03:07This is always a possibility of going up because as I mentioned earlier, everything is subject to judicial review
03:13depending on the circumstances available.
03:16This is something that we have to discuss as a team
03:20and also of course in consultation with our client.
03:25Masaya naman ang prosekusyon sa tagumpay nilang maipasubina ang twin motion nila
03:31ukol sa AMLOC, bank records, pati na ang BIR records ng bise at asawa nito.
03:36Wala naman daw problema kung hindi pinayagan ng pagbubukas ng foreign currency deposits ng pangalawang Pangulo.
03:42Dahil sa desisyon ng impeachment court, inaasahan nang hihingi ng permiso ang BIR Commissioner kay Pangulong Marcos
03:49para ilabas ang tax records ng bise at ng kanyang asawa.
03:53We certainly would hope that he would give the authority.
03:56Wala kami nakikitang dahilan para hindi ibigay ng Pangulo yung authority or consent niya.
04:03Ian Cruz, GMA News.
04:07Sa pagbubukas ng ikapitong araw ng impeachment trial,
04:10hindi ang pagpapasabina sa bank o tax records si Vice President Sara Duterte
04:15ang unang inungkat ni Sen. Robin Padilla,
04:18kundi ang kinaharap niyang reklamong obstruction of justice sa ombudsman.
04:22Itinanggi ni Padilla ang sinabi ng ombudsman na hindi umano siya naghain
04:26ng counter-affidavit kaugnay sa reklamo.
04:28May kinalaman ng reklamo sa pagtulong niyang makaalis ng Senado
04:33kay Sen. Bato de la Rosa noong May 14.
04:36Hiling ni Padilla sa impeachment court.
04:39Ligyan siya ng pagkakataong magpaliwanag.
04:41Pero umalma si Sen. Irwin Tulfo.
04:44Hindi daw dapat ginagamit ang oras ng impeachment court
04:46para sa mga isyong walang kinalaman sa bise.
04:49Sa sesyo ng Senado rao, dapat pinag-uusapan ang iba pang isyo.
04:54Sabi naman ni Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano,
04:57wala sa sistema nila ang sinasabing counter-affidavit ni Padilla.
05:01Tugon dyan ng abogado ni Padilla,
05:03hawak nila ang original copy ng inihain nila ang counter-affidavit
05:06at meron itong official stamp na natanggap ito
05:09ng Office of the Ombudsman noong July 9.
