As a lawyer, gets ko yung point ni Atty. Ligutan kasi yung pinapagusapan nila ay kung pwede ba tanggapin ng korte yung photocopy instead of the original document.

Take note, even Senators, with all due respect to them, sa mga committee hearings nakita natin na napapaghalo-halo nga yung probative value vs admissibility ng evidence eh. So, how much more the general public diba?
Anyway, my main point is, since this is being viewed by the general public, mas maganda siguro na i-explain ang mga legal matters na maiintindihan ng taong bayan para makaiwas sa confusion.
Tandaan, the impeachment is a quasi political process; therefore, dapat ipaintindi din talaga sa taong bayan ang proceedings.

PS. Para sa mga curious, ito ang specific rule regarding admissibility of photocopies; Rule 130, Section 4(c), 2019 Revised Rules on Evidence:
"A duplicate is admissible to the same extent as an original unless (1) a genuine question is raised as to the authenticity of the original, or (2) in the circumstances, it is unjust or inequitable to admit the duplicate in lieu of the original."
