🚨 Sen. ROBIN PADILLA:
“Ang ibig kong sabihin, bakit nila binabanatan ang mga nakakulong na Senator-Judge tulad ni Jinggoy at Marcoleta?
Binabanatan nina Terry Ridon at Leila De Lima na bawal daw mag participate. Anong karapatan nila sabihin yun sa amin?
Para silang langaw na nakatungtong sa kalabaw!
Meron na ba kayo nakitang Fiscal na binabanatan ang Judge?”

Rebuttals:
1. Impeachment is not a purely legal proceeding. The Congressmen-Prosecutors also have their own constitutional and electoral mandate.
2. Karapatan nila kwestyunin ang participation ni Jinggoy at Marcoleta dahil sa Plunder Law na nagsu-suspend ng isang Senador at ang Saligang Batas na sinasabing Public Office is Public Trust.
3. Ikaw ang langaw na nakatungtong sa kalabaw ni Rodrigo Duterte.
4. Actually, pwede “banatan” ng Fiscal and Judge if biased ang Judge and dapat mag inhibit ang Judge. Pero siempre, respectfully nila ginagawa yun through an oral or written motion.
Sa USA, madalas yun na in open court the Fiscal will move to challenge the orders of a biased Judge especially when it comes to overruling or sustaining objections after a certain pattern of bias emerges.
Hindi mo lang alam, Sen. Robin.
5. Nagpapalusot ka pa sa laughable statement mo na hindi dapat one-sided ang Prosecution.
Bakit ngayon ka lang nag e-expound bakit hindi mo yan in-explain sa Senate floor or courtroom?
Hindi mo ba kaya na spontaneous mag explain?
😂
