"WALA HO 'YON LUGAR DITO SA COURTROOM"

Defense lawyer Kristine Ferrer during the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, Aug. 12, made a manifestation to not allow side comments during the proceedings, citing private prosecutor Lorna Kapunan's earlier remarks on "spanking" Ferrer amid an intense flow of arguments between the prosecution and defense panels.

Kapunan had already withdrew her statement and promised to behave during the trial. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)

00:00Your Honor, can I have a few manifestations, Your Honor, please?
00:04A few minutes of?
00:05A few manifestations lang po, Your Honor.
00:08Yes, ma'am, you may do so.
00:10Actually, Your Honor, we would like to ask this court to not allow side comments like,
00:15I was about to spank her, I was about to lecture her, kasi yung mga ganun ho, Your Honor.
00:23Wala ho yung lugar dito sa courtroom because we are all lawyers here, we are all professionals.
00:29Igal lang naman ho natin yung kapwa natin na lawyer.
00:32Kung halimbawa, at kagaya nito, mas matanda ho sa akin si Atty. Capuna,
00:37maybe she has more years of experience, she has 48 years, I have 15.
00:41We should learn to respect each other and refrain from making side comments, Your Honor.
00:46And that was captured by the media po.
00:49So, that is our request, Your Honor, to just remind the council not to make those kinds of remarks.
00:57Attorney Kapunan already, although you are correct, it was already heard since we're on TV.
01:03Attorney Kapunan withdrew that statement earlier, if I remember correctly.
01:07Yes, Your Honor, in fact, I hope it was also part of the records that I promised to be him.
01:15Thank you, Paul.
01:16Yes.
01:16Thank you, Your Honor.
01:18Thank you to both parties.
01:34You
