House impeachment adviser and prosecution panel spokesperson Robert Ace Barbers said in a press conference on Friday, July 24, that it is good to see that, according to a survey, 7 out of 10 Filipinos believe that the decision on the impeachment trial against Vice President should be based on evidence and not on political leanings.

Barbers also added that with the high popularity, trust, and satisfaction rating of the Vice President, there should also be higher standards when it comes to accountability in her office. (Video courtesy of House of Representatives)

00:00Okay. Good morning po, Sirs. Doon po sa survey ng Okta Research, lumalabas po na 7 out of 10 Filipinos
00:09believe that yung magiging decision po sa impeachment trial should be based on evidence and not political leanings. Ano pong
00:17masasabi niyo doon?
00:18Well, ako para sa akin na maganda na nakita natin na 70% ng ating mga kababayan ay gusto rin
00:27madinig yung sagot ng ating vicepresidente doon sa mga allegasyon na nakasaad doon sa ating articles of impeachment.
00:38Ang ibig sabihin naman, hindi naman ibig sabihin na kapag ika-popular, hindi ka na pwedeng managot. Kaya nga meron
00:44tayong mga ganitong klaseng proseso na impeachment process para magkaroon ng accountability o pananagutan ang ating mga matataas ng opisyal
00:54sa gobyerno na merong ginawang paglabag sa mga batas.
00:57So isa yan, with the high popularity trust and satisfaction ratings ng ating vicepresidente, dapat mas mataas yung standards ng
01:11accountability ng kanyang opisina.
01:17At hindi dapat lumalabag sa ating mga batas dahil yan ang kanyang sinumpaang tungko din.
01:24So para sa akin, 58% popularity and trust as against 70% ng tao sa buong Pilipinas ay gusto
01:38siyang sumagot.
01:40Siguro, yun ang tingnan nating mabuti. Para sa akin, I think the Filipino people deserves an answer after hearing and
01:48seeing all this evidence presented by the prosecution.
01:51Now is the time na masagot naman yan ng kabilang panig o ng akusado.
