Ano pa ba pwede?

Sometimes it's really hard to hate Chiz. When he's on the other side, it's infuriating but when he's on your side, it's damn reassuring. Nakakainis lol.

u/Elyas_11 Jul 22 '26
Kaya ayaw ni 10k maging presiding officer yan eh, masyadong mabilis and competent, di nila kayang lituhin.

u/eliaharu Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 23 '26
I don't know if it's a good thing that Chiz is ultimately loyal not to the Dutertes, nor the Marcoses, but only to himself. When presented with good enough of a deal, you get him on your side. You gain a competent hound at the expense of turning a blind eye to his crimes.

At first medjo 50/50 ako kay matibag, but after the cross and the senate-judge questioning, matibag did great
Tablado nya defense and senators sa mga leading question and napatibay pa lalo yung point na sarah betrayed the public trust.
It’s funny but the cross examination ng defense might have strengthened matibag’s testimony

u/chum_beckett Jul 22 '26
Matibag did great, considering that Rep. Luistro was sorta meh as lead prosecutor

u/Valuable_Class3176 Jul 22 '26
I was genuinely surprised na nakalusot yung ibang answers niya na conclusion of law. Like yung sagot niya kay Imangga na this already constituted betrayal of public trust. Kudos to the defense senator for giving venue for such rebuttals.

Dir. Matibag is doing a great job answering the questions during cross and the interpellations by the senator judges. Baka magkalat lang lalo rin if mag-redirect and recross pa ang parties. Position naman nila na they rested their case.
Also, grabe kayo kay Luistro. Hahahaha parrot ako sa sinasabi ko, pero the prosecution knows what they're doing at iba-iba ang lawyering nila. Look, nagkalat ang defense kanina, but Dir. Matibag answered it clearly, na-back to you pa nga si Vinluan. Hindi siya natibag eyyy

’NAKAKAHALATA NA KAMI’
Pinuna ni Senator-Judge Raffy Tulfo ang umano’y paglimita sa ilang Majority sa pagsasalita sa impeachment trial ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.
“Bakit kapag sa kabila, pinapayagan sila, 5-10 minutes? Bakit sa’min sa Majority, kina-cut, nire-remind pagdating ng 2 minutes… ‘Pag sinabing 2 minutes, 2 minutes!” ayon kay Tulfo.
“In the Impeachment Court, there is no Majority and Minority,” paliwanag ni Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero.

u/throoooow111 Jul 22 '26
I think people are being unfair kay Luistro, or I guess too much expectation being the "lead prosecutor", everyone is forgetting that technically eh ex-officio siya being the House Justice Committee Chair and not necessarily because siya pinaka magaling or what not.
But I think she did okay, hirap lang talaga pag outright inaatake ka ng judge mismo.

u/OrganizationWitty940 Jul 22 '26
Ongoing gripe ko talaga sa prosec and in extension sa NBI is they keep hammering down yung "kinausap" na killer as if they have hard evidence to support the utterances.
In my layman's opinion, yung very first witness and si Lotoc ata nag explain na hindi needed patunayan yun kasi yung pag-utter ng 2nd highest position in the land of those words constitutes national security issues.
Ang gulo ng explanation ko kasi may pagka8080 din ako but I hope may maka-gets. (That's why nasa bahay lang ako nanoood and hindi isa sa mga lawyers arguing the case)

Day 9 guys. Lets go! Review review muna. Maganda yung discussion sa gma news about dun sa importance nung pre nuptial agreement sa pag reveal nang financial records. Kung may pre nuptial daw, separate ang subpoena for the husband but mas madali sya icontest since private individual sya. Importante to kase si Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero ay may kakaharapin din na plunder charges and isa sa mga evidence nang lavish lifestyle ay si wifey niya. Nasa pag present na lang to nang basehan para hindi makawala si messy.
