We are honoring some best oralists.
04:25.2
But I'd also like to greet Senator Cayetano and Senator Gadzelyan.
04:30.2
If I may be allowed a note of pride, Mr. President,
04:34.2
two of the laws that were discussed by our colleagues were Angara laws by my father.
04:40.2
The Gamaba Law, the National Living Treasures Law, which passed in 1992,
04:45.2
and the Generics Law, which passed in 1988.
04:47.7
Just, pasensya na po, hindi ko mapalipas.
04:50.2
Thank you for the indulgence of our colleagues.
04:52.2
Mr. President, I'd like to greet the Dean of the UP College of Law,
04:57.2
the Alma Mater of our Minority Leader,
05:02.2
and our chairperson of the Blue Ribbon Committee,
05:07.2
Senator Pia, the birthday celebrant,
05:09.2
Dean Darlene Marie Berberabe, who is with us today.
05:16.2
She's not the honoree, Mr. President, I'm just greeting her.
05:19.2
She's the Dean of the UP College of Law,
05:21.2
and she's the salutatorian of our batch.
05:24.2
Except I did not graduate with that batch because I was delayed by one year, Mr. President.
05:28.2
But anyway, I'll go to my speech because I know we want to caucus, Mr. President.
05:33.2
Tayo po ay tumatayo ngayong araw para malaman ng taong bayan ang mga tagumpay ng mga magagaling na mag-aaral
05:39.2
mula sa University of the Philippines College of Law nitong mga nakaraang buwan.
05:43.2
Sa pamamagitan ng proposed Senate Resolution No. 992 at 1003,
05:49.2
nais nating magbigay-pugay sa UP Law Jesup Team at UP Law Stetson Team.
05:55.2
Itong UP Law Jesup Team, kasama po dyan sila
06:00.2
Mary Regine Dadole,
06:03.2
Pauline Samantha Sagayo,
06:05.2
Chinzhen Viernes,
06:07.2
at Ignacio Lorenzo Villarreal.
06:09.2
Nandi dito po sila sa gallery.
06:11.2
Maybe you would like to stand up to be noticed, ladies and gentlemen, future officers of the court.
06:17.2
Yan po. Andun po sila.
06:19.2
Sila po ay naging world champion. Hindi po lang ito Philippines. May championship dito po sa Philippines.
06:25.2
Pero that is only a, alam po ni Minority Leader at saka ni Sen. Pia ito, that is a prelude.
06:32.2
At saka nila Sen. Aimee who is also from the UP College of Law.
06:35.2
This is only a prelude to the world championship where it is a very rigorous competition.
06:42.2
The best law schools from several countries in the world.
06:47.2
Itong 2024 Philip C. Jesup International Moot Court Competition.
06:52.2
Kung saan ang international rounds ay ginanap sa Washington D.C. mula March 30 hanggang April 6.
06:59.2
Ito naman po sa Resolution No. 1003.
07:03.2
Pinapakita natin ang ating paghanga sa UP Law Stetson Team.
07:07.2
Na binubuo ni na Noel Francis Galinato, Miriam Celine Mishiano, at Alia Dominique Yao.
07:14.2
Dahil sila ay naging world champion sa 28th.
07:17.2
Annual Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition itong April 10 to 13 itong taong 2024.
07:25.2
Ano po ang Moot Court?
07:27.2
Mr. President, ito ay kompetisyon na sinasalihan ng mga law schools sa buong mundo.
07:31.2
Kung saan sinisimulate ang mga oral arguments ng abogado kapag may mga kasong hinaharap sa International Court of Justice o ICJ.
07:40.2
At tulad sa ICJ nananalo ang panig na may pinakamalinaw at pinakamatimbang na argumento.
07:47.2
Kasama rin po natin ang kanilang coaches.
07:50.2
Si Prof. Romel Jaen Casis.
07:53.2
Classmate ko po yan. Magaling talagang magdebate yan.
07:56.2
Kaya natutuwa po ako na he is the coach.
07:59.2
Prof. Marianne Creel Garcia Vitug.
08:02.2
Nandi dito din po. Hindi ko po kaklase yan dahil bata pa po yan.
08:05.2
Mr. President, para magtagumpay sa mga moot court na ito, hindi lang dapat magaling magsalita at magsulat ang mga sumasali.
08:13.2
Dapat may malalim na pagunawa sila sa mga batas, polisiya.
08:17.2
At isyong kinakaharap ng daigdig at ng iba't ibang mga bansa.
08:22.2
Sa madaling silita, Mr. President, hindi po biro ang magtagumpay sa mga moot court na ito.
08:27.2
Kahangahanga na nagbibigay-pugay tayo sa hindi isa kundi dalawang koponan ng ating mga kababayan ngayong araw.
08:33.2
Kilala ang Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition sa buong mundo
08:38.2
bilang isa sa pinakatanyag na pagalingan ng mga nag-aaral ng pag-aabogasiya.
08:43.2
Ginaganap sa Gulfport, Florida campus ng Stetson University.
08:46.2
Partikular na nakatoon ang moot court na ito sa pagdidebate ng mga pinakamahihirap na environmental challenges na kinahaharap ng daigdig.
08:56.2
Very timely, Mr. President.
08:57.2
Para makaabot sa International Finals, dumaan po sa regional competitions ang UP Los Stetson team,
09:03.2
kung saan 27 na koponan ang lumahok mula sa iba't ibang bansa tulad ng Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand.
09:13.2
At pagdating naman sa International Finals,
09:15.2
kung saan lumahok ang lahat ng kampiyon mula sa iba't ibang regyon ng mundo,
09:19.2
labing siyam na law school ang tinalo na huling kalaban nila ang Singapore Management University o SMU.
09:26.2
Ang panalo ng UP Los Stetson team ay ang pangalawa na ng UP College of Law.
09:31.2
At bukod dito, namukodtangi si Miriam Celine Mishiano na kinilala bilang overall best oralist sa mga preliminary rounds
09:40.2
at si Alia Dominic Yao na nanalo bilang third best oralist sa mga preliminary rounds.
09:45.2
At best oralist nung championship round.
09:48.2
Meanwhile, the JESUP competition is considered the oldest and the biggest international moot court competition in the world.
09:55.2
Here, roughly 600 law schools from over 100 countries compete each year in global multi-round events administered by the International Law Students Association.
10:06.2
The competition started in 1960 but went international starting from 1968.
10:11.2
And teams from the Philippines have participated since then.
10:14.2
And the recent win of the UP Law JESUP team marks only the third time the Philippines has clinched the championship.
10:20.2
UP Law first won in 1995 and Ateneo de Manila University also won in the 2000s.
10:27.2
The general format follows that of a simulated dispute raised to the ICJ between two nations concerning matters related to public international law.
10:36.2
Teams prepare what are called written memorials and make 45-minute oral presentations.
10:40.2
Very much like how they would have argued if they were actually handling the case.
10:44.2
In the International Court of Justice or ICJ.
10:47.2
The task is harrowing.
10:49.2
Not only did UP Law JESUP emerge at the top.
10:51.2
After it won over Argentina's Universidad Torcuato de Tella, our very own Ignacio Lorenzo Villarreal was cited as the best oralist of the championship round.
11:02.2
It is important, Mr. President, that we highlight today that both winning teams would not have succeeded were it not for their coaches and faculty advisors.
11:12.2
Senior Lecturer Marian Vitug and Associate Professor Romel Casis.
11:16.2
And of course, Dean Darlene Marie Berberabe.
11:20.2
It was with their guidance and constant support that the respective UP College of Law teams had succeeded so spectacularly in the global scene.
11:28.2
That is a hallmark of the kind of educators that the UP College of Law is blessed with.
11:31.2
The people who frequent Malcolm Hall at UP Diliman know very well the words attributed to the US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
11:40.2
Nandun po sa marmol.
11:42.2
Nandun po sa Malcolm Hall.
11:45.2
The business of a law school is not sufficiently described when you say it is to teach law or to make lawyers.
11:51.2
It is to teach law in the grand manner and to make great lawyers.
11:55.2
Araw-araw ito nakikita sa mga pumapasok sa lobby ng Malcolm Hall.
11:59.2
Marahil taglayang diwa nito.
12:01.2
Ginabay at hinanda ni na Professor Vitug at Casis at ni Dean Berberabe at ang kanyang mga kasamang profesor ang ating mga kumpunaan para maabot nila ang mga pandayigdigan.
12:11.2
Ang mga pandayigdigang panalo na ating hinahangaan ngayong araw.
12:14.2
Mr. President, naglalaan po tayo ng panahon para kilalanin ang mga panalo ng ating mga kababayan dahil pinapaalala nila sa atin ang angking galing at talino na taglay ng Tatak Pinoy.
12:25.2
Iba po ang Tatak Pinoy.
12:26.2
Mabuhay po ang UP College of Law, ang UP Law Jesuit Team, ang UP Law Stetson Team.
12:31.2
Congratulations po sa inyo.
12:33.2
Thank you, Mr. President.
12:34.2
Thank you very much, Sir Dr. Angara.
12:36.2
Mabuhay din po si Sunny Angara, Mr. President.
12:38.2
Yes, a product of UP Law.
12:40.2
Yes, Mr. President.
12:41.2
Together with several here. Marami yung piro dito.
12:44.2
Thank you, Mr. President.
12:45.2
Mr. President, our Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Riza Ontiveros, would like to co-sponsor the measure, Mr. President, on Senate Resolution No. 988, taking into consideration proposed Senate Resolution No. 992 and 1004, Mr. President.
13:02.2
Yes, yes. So we'd like to recognize Sen. Riza Ontiveros.
13:07.2
Not yet ready or?
13:10.2
We would like to spend.
13:11.2
First, Sen. Pierre Cayetano.
13:14.2
We can recognize Sen. Pierre Cayetano first.
13:15.2
Also a product of UP Law.
13:16.2
Mine is just a manifestation, Mr. President.
13:21.2
In the interest of time, I will insert into the record my co-sponsorship speech, but my manifestation is also directed to Sen. Angara and his team.
13:32.2
They failed to...
13:33.2
I mean, we are all proud of the accomplishments of the UP College of Law students and of course, their professors and members.
13:36.2
I would like to ask also, how many may be carried?
13:39.2
Of course, they're professors and mentors, but
13:40.9
Senator Angara, I'm referring to you, so
13:43.2
Senator Tolentino, please do not
13:45.2
talk to Senator Angara.
13:46.8
Senator Angara, you're being requested to listen to the
13:49.3
manifestation of Senator Teta.
13:51.5
I know, that's why Senator Tolentino
13:53.2
just, 30 seconds.
13:55.1
So, Senator Angara,
13:57.1
Senator Angara, failed to
14:01.2
mention one small
14:03.3
but very important
14:06.3
the delivery of his speech.
14:10.8
Jesuit Moot Court participants
14:12.9
are our sorority sisters.
14:15.2
And we have to mention it because
