Culpable violation of the Constitution hindi lang violation ang impeachable offense!
Sa batas bawat salita ay mahalaga. Hindi mo babasahin na parang komiks.

Tinanong ni Senador Benda Law sa testigo na SEC Commissioner that if the vice president holds shares in a business interest while in office a violation of Article VII sec 13 of the constitution.
Sagot OPO. Violation ito.
Pero kung may follow up question kaya na -
If this is a violation, was the violation CULPABLE?
A violation of the constitution which is NOT CULPABLE IS NOT AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
Klaro yan sa saligang batas na dapat CULPABLE ANG VIOLATION.
CULPABLE IS A WRONGFUL , INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL BREACH OF THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF THE LAND.
Ano ba yun bawal sa saligang batas pagdating sa pagmamayari ng business interest?
Ang bawal ayon sa Art 7 sec 13 ay PARTICIPATE IN ANY BUSINESS.
So kung may shares of stocks si VP Sara sa ilang negosyo ay CULPABLE violation of the constitution na ba yun?
Kung ikaw ang chief operation officer ng CORPORATIONS at ACTIVELY YOU PARTICIPATED sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo yan ay PARTICIPATION.
Kahit anong business ba? Paano kung family grocery lang. Walang distinction ang batas.
Pero bakit ba bawal mag participate sa kahit anong negosyo?
To prevent corruption, avoid conflict of interest, and reduce using power for personal gain.
Paano kung bago pa siya maging vice president ay may negosyo na siya. Bawal bang magmayari ang impeachable officer ng negosyo.
Sagot ng Sec Commissioner.
SEC HAS NO POLICY PROHIBITING THE PRESIDENT , VICE PRESIDENT OR CABINET MEMBERS FROM OWNING BUSINESSES OR COMPANIES.
Pero di ba violation kung si vp Sara ay hindi nag divest ng kanyang business interest when she became vice president?
May punto. Pero hanggang saan ang DIVEST. Kung ang bawal lang ay PARTICIPATE IN BUSINESS AND NOT OWNING A BUSINESS.
Pero ang higit na mahalagang tanong ay CULPABLE ba ang violation kung may pagaaring negosyo ang bise presidente?
O ang presidente at ibang impeachable officers?
OWNERSHIP BUT NOT PARTICIPATION IN BUSINESS.
Is this a CULPABLE violation of the constitution?
