00:00Vice President Sara Duterte did not appear in the budget hearing of the Camera.

00:04If they have an OVP budget, what does it mean?

00:08Can this be called a betrayal of public trust?

00:11Let's find out the point of view of Professor Antonio Conteras, Professor.

00:22Thank you very much, Diana, and good morning.

00:26That is what Representative Raul Manuel of the Kabataan Party List said.

00:31Vice President Sara Duterte did not attend the Congress' budget hearing

00:39in the Office of the Vice President, which is already a form of betrayal of public trust.

00:45But what is betrayal of public trust?

00:48Betrayal of public trust is the phrase used when an official commits a serious violation of the abuse of power

01:03that resulted from the lack of trust of the people in the government.

01:09In fact, this is a serious act because it is a ground for impeachment, according to our Constitution.

01:16Because the ground for impeachment is treason, bribery, graft and corruption, and other high crimes, and betrayal of public trust.

01:24What are the examples of betrayal of public trust?

01:29One example is the misuse of public resources for one's own interests.

01:35Another example is the engagement in corrupt practices or serious misconduct.

01:41Or the misuse of public resources for one's own interests.

01:53In fact, there was even damage.

01:56Another example of betrayal of public trust is the failing to uphold the duties of the public office

02:07in a manner that is expected and prescribed by the Constitution.

02:12So, what the Vice President is doing now,

02:17not attending the budget hearings, be it in the committee or the plenary,

02:23can be called public trust betrayal.

02:27It is possible because, as I said in the last hearing,

02:31if you fail to uphold the duties that are prescribed by the Constitution,

02:37you are betraying the trust of the people.

02:43We always say, public office is public trust.

02:47And people in government should do everything in their power and authority

02:54to pursue the interests of the people,

02:57so that the trust of the people in the government will not be lost.

03:02Betrayal of public trust is a serious allegation.

03:05Although it is still being debated, it is a ground for impeachment.

03:10So, from an objective point of view, we are not saying that Vice President Sara Duterte is being impeached.

03:17However, it is clear that what she is doing now can be interpreted as betrayal of public trust

03:24and a ground for impeachment.

03:27But hopefully, we will not go home to that,

03:30because that will destabilize our country.

03:34Hopefully, the Vice President is human and has a duty.

03:40You don't have to be happy with the government,

03:44you don't have to be angry or friendly with the congressmen and senators,

03:49you don't have to be an ally of the President.

03:52At this time, especially when he is limited, he is saying that he is just politicizing.

03:57Isn't it clear that he is politicizing because he is angry with the President or his allies?

04:03You will not do your duty.

04:08That is another form of politicizing.

04:11So, please talk.

04:13This is the last time we will discuss the budget in the House.

04:18Maybe, even if he doesn't go, he will be sent a representative.

04:24He doesn't have to go.

04:26His office can send a representative.

04:28If he can't, why doesn't he send his executive assistant or his undersecretary?

04:34Whoever has the highest position can ask the lawmakers about his budget.

04:42So, that is my point of view this morning.

04:45Go back to the studio, Diane. Good morning again.

04:48Thank you very much, Professor Antonio Contreras.
