00:00In the budget hearing that took place on August 27,
00:04you can see that they have prepared a PowerPoint presentation,
00:10they have prepared an audiovisual presentation,
00:13they have prepared a script that they are reading.
00:17And the other congresswoman said,
00:21I don't have time.
00:23This is a long reading. I can't read letter by letter.
00:27But if you can see, they have prepared the answers
00:32to what we said in the Commission on Audit.
00:37Legal points that we said in the Commission on Audit.
00:41Why is it so dangerous to get documents that are not finished
00:49and not final audits?
00:53So if you can see, that's how it is. They are prepared.
00:57We can see that, let's stick to our plan.
01:01Let's attack it.
01:03It has nothing to do with the Office of the Vice President 2025 budget proposal.
01:10But everything has to do with the confidential funds.
01:15There have been cases for a long time.
01:19There are three cases in the Supreme Court.
01:22They have been asking for audits for a long time.
01:26And we are cooperating in the audits.
01:32So you can see, if we repeat what happened
01:39in the House budget hearing on August 27,
01:42they have a plan to use that to destroy me.
01:47And they don't just stop there.
01:49If you can see, now they are in the DepEd budget
01:54to destroy my name.
01:57Even though I have nothing to do with the observations
02:05of the Commission on Audit, they are saying that
02:11it is Inday Sara's fault.
02:14So you can see, the Makabayan Bloc has joined Martin Romualdez.
02:21And because Martin Romualdez didn't attack him,
02:26and because he wanted to support the Makabayan and the NPA,
02:32he listened.
02:34And what he did was remove the budget.
02:39And the truth is, if you can see,
02:41in the House hearing on August 27,
02:4790% of the questions were about confidential funds.
02:53Even though in 2024 and 2025,
02:57the Office of the Vice President will no longer have confidential funds.
03:03So that is my explanation.
03:05My explanation is very long.
03:08Why do we need to question and answer
03:13for you to attack me?
03:16After all, we all know that
03:20it is Congressman Zaldico and Congressman Martin Romualdez
03:23who make the decisions in the budget of the country.
