00:00House Speaker Martin Romualdez's camp avoided accusations that they had nothing to do with the infamous peace rally in Tacloban City this weekend.
00:13In fact, the organizers of the rally did not apply for a permit and instead, they just sent a notification.
00:23This was reported by Mela Lesmora.
00:25House Speaker Martin Romualdez's camp avoided accusations that they had nothing to do with the infamous peace rally in Tacloban City this May 25.
00:37The alleged activity was led by former President Rodrigo Duterte, so his supporters found out about it.
00:46According to House Deputy Majority Leader and TINGOG Partylist Representative Jude Acidre, the local government is the one who is responsible for the issue
00:55and has a basis as to why it did not continue to avoid accusations.
01:00Maybe they're looking for justification because not many people came.
01:05If you ask me, we have nothing to do with it. The Speaker has nothing to do with it.
01:10We, TINGOG Partylist, have nothing to do with it. The issue of permits is under the purview of the local government unit.
01:19They are the ones who have control of our Freedom Park. In fact, the provincial government of Rite is the one who manages RTR Plaza.
01:28As far as I know, that's the target venue.
01:33In some posts on social media, various issues were raised because of what happened. But Acidre clarified that this is different from the truth.
01:42Based on the information that we received, they did not apply for permits.
01:47They notified the provincial government that they will use Freedom Park.
01:54Unfortunately, before they submitted a letter of information, a notification to the provincial government,
02:04there was a submission, there was a booking as early as May 10. As far as I know, someone applied for the roadshow of heavy equipment.
02:15That's why it was suspended. It's unfair what was said on social media that it was put there.
02:22The truth is, this is a part of a roadshow of heavy equipment.
02:26At the airport, we have been asking for the price of tickets and the lack of tickets for several weeks.
02:34But they said that this needs to be done so that we can continue to improve our situation in Tacloban.
02:43Despite the issues, Acidre insisted that the camera service will continue, in accordance with their sworn oath.
