00:00 Taken out of context, that was the request of the former health secretary

00:05 in response to the role of former President Rodrigo Duterte

00:09 in transferring the fund of the health department to PSDBM

00:13 to buy COVID-19 supplies.

00:16 The details of the clarification of the request of Ian Cruz.

00:19 [Music]

00:21 Correct.

00:22 The transfer was precisely effected and approved by the IATF-NTF

00:32 and endorsed to the President.

00:34 The request of the former health secretary Francisco Duque III

00:38 was taken out of context by his response on Monday to the camera.

00:42 The question was, was the former President Rodrigo Duterte authorized

00:45 to transfer the 47.6 billion pesos of the fund of the health department

00:50 to PSDBM or the procurement service of the budget department

00:53 in 2020 to buy COVID-19 supplies without MOA or memorandum of agreement?

01:00 He is now adamant in an expression that he just answered yes.

01:03 The former President really approved

01:06 that the purchase of face masks, face shield and PPE was done through PSDBM

01:11 when the former President asked the DOH if this could be done.

01:15 According to the law,

01:17 the unmentioned was that the purchases were made in April 2020

01:22 when the only known protection against COVID-19

01:26 are face masks, face shields and PPEs.

01:30 This procurement is necessary and should be done quickly

01:34 and the purchase under PSDBM is mandatory in the law

01:38 that is based on the approval of the former President.

01:41 Senator Arisa Ontiveros is asking Duque to make a return.

01:46 It was good while it lasted.

01:49 I was really impressed with former Sec. Duque.

01:53 That's the oldest excuse in the book

01:55 for all of us who work in the public sphere.

02:00 If that's what he's saying,

02:03 that Duterte just accelerated the procurement,

02:10 in a way, we're back to square one

02:13 with his possible becoming an important resource person.

02:19 It's really his loss.

02:21 Ontiveros said that she wants the Senate to reopen the investigation of the pharmalee scam.

02:26 We will blame everyone, including the former President.

02:31 If we can prove that he's the one who ordered the fund transfer.

02:36 We asked the former President to give a speech

02:38 through former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.

02:42 His answer was...

02:43 President?

02:44 I don't have a statement.

02:45 Please pronounce that in EBR.

02:47 But Duque's statement is the same as the defense of former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo

02:53 who, according to the law and the government's national policy,

02:56 the hackbang is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

02:59 Those who bought without bidding

03:03 should be considered as a quick target in the COVID situation.

03:06 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

03:11 [Music]
