00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:12Before Saksi, another official of the DepEd faced the camera
00:16and was convinced to give Php 1,000 in cash to the envelopes he received in 2023.
00:23You will also witness the payment of Php 16,000,000
00:26spent by the Office of the Vice President for Safe Houses
00:30within 11 days in 2022.
00:33Saksi! Ian Cruz!
00:38In the continuation of the House Committee on Good Government,
00:41Attorney Resti Osias faced DepEd's Director Ford
00:46during his secret time as Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:50According to Osias, he received four envelopes from April to September of 2023
00:56while he was not yet the Chairman of the Bids and Awards Committee 6 of DepEd.
01:00He received Php 12,000 to Php 15,000 in envelopes
01:07that he received from Noy Asek Sunshine Fajarda.
01:10I must be candid about this.
01:14I must say I did, but I didn't know because I was new in the department.
01:20I thought it was a practice of the department.
01:22I didn't know why I was summoned to the office of Asek Shine
01:30and then I was given an envelope.
01:33And it was later on I found out that there was money in it
01:37but it was not because I was a BAC member or whatever yet
01:40because I was not at that time.
01:41After September, Osias was no longer accepted.
01:45A congressman immediately condemned him.
01:47It looks like it was a coincidence.
01:49At a time when DepEd did not use the confidential fund
01:53for the last quarter of the issue of the confidential fund.
01:57At the time of the hearing of the camera,
01:59the former Education Undersecretary Gloria Humamil Mercado
02:03believed that she received a sham envelope
02:06that contained Php 50,000 in it in 2023.
02:10The reaction of the vice president was disgruntled
02:14or Mercado had a bad intention.
02:16Mercado asked for Php 16 million from a company
02:20using the name of the vice president without authorization.
02:23Mercado did not agree.
02:25At the hearing earlier,
02:27the former DepEd spokesman attorney Michael Poa
02:30also asked if he received an envelope.
02:32He said he received something but Poa explained
02:35because it is possible that he received Php 3,000 to Php 4,000
02:39when there is a problem.
02:57Gemma Integrated News is working hard
02:59to get the money from VP Sara
03:00and also from ASEC Fajarda
03:02for the aforementioned officials.
03:03At the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government earlier,
03:06Php 16 million was discussed by the Office of the Vice President
03:11for the use of 34 safe houses
03:14within 11 days of 2022.
03:17Each safe house was paid from Php 250,000 to Php 500,000
03:23and there are two safe houses
03:25that were paid Php 1,000,000 as rent
03:28for only 11 days.
03:30So, for 11 days,
03:32Php 500,000 for one safe house?
03:36Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:37Now, if I ask you,
03:38how much would that be per day
03:42for one safe house?
03:47Mr. Chair, it would amount to Php 45,000 something.
03:53Php 45,454.55 per day.
03:57What kind of safe house is this
03:59where the rent is Php 45,000 per day?
04:03Meanwhile, other nice places
04:07are even cheaper than this,
04:10Php 45,000.
04:13Could you give us an idea of that?
04:17Mr. Chair, we do not have information
04:19on the safe houses.
04:21The OVP obtained the funds
04:23from its confidential funds.
04:25Part of the controversial
04:27Php 125,000,000 funds
04:29were spent by Vice President Duterte
04:31in just 11 days.
04:34OVP submitted only acknowledgement receipts
04:37to the Commission on Audit
04:39as proof of how the funds were used.
04:42If you look at the acknowledgement receipts,
04:44some of them do not have the name
04:47of the person who received the payment.
04:49Some of them do not have the name
04:51and some of them are not signed.
04:53According to the COA,
04:54Atty. Gloria Camora,
04:56they do not have other details
04:58about these safe houses.
05:00What is stated in the OVP accomplishment report
05:03is that the safe houses
05:05are for the safe implementation
05:07of OVP initiatives
05:09and confidence building.
05:11The committee also approved
05:12the six officials of the Office of the Vice President
05:14who were not present at the hearing.
05:16They also asked the Bureau of Immigration
05:18to include them in the lookout bulletin.
05:21We heard the statement of VP Sara
05:23and the Office of the Vice President
05:25regarding this.
05:26In the position paper submitted by the OVP
05:28to the House panel,
05:29the officials stated that they did not attend
05:31the hearing because it did not happen
05:33in aid of legislation.
05:36The data they asked for
05:38can be verified
05:40through the reports of the COA.
05:42In the new statement of the OVP,
05:44it stated that it is unnecessary
05:46or does not require the hearings
05:48of the Committee on Good Government
05:50and that the resource persons
05:52who are the OVP
05:54are not obligated to attend
05:56the issues pending in the Supreme Court
05:58because of the sub judice rule.
06:00And because it is possible that they
06:02may be influenced by the hearing
06:04of the COA audit,
06:06the hearings should also be stopped.
06:08For GMA Negated News,
06:10Ian Cruz is your witness.
06:13Three minutes ago,
06:15ten people were rescued
06:16from an online prostitution den
06:17in Quezon Province.
06:19The parochial operation was conducted
06:21remotely and the suspects were paid
06:23a dollar.
06:25This is Jun Veneracion's witness.
06:31The next group of members
06:33of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group
06:35were rescued from an online prostitution den
06:37in Tayabas and Lucena, Quezon.
06:46Some of the victims
06:48were still in their seats in front of the camera.
06:53Five suspects were arrested
06:55while ten victims were rescued,
06:57including three minors.
07:01Most of the suspects and victims
07:03are related to each other
07:05according to the authorities.
07:07In this online prostitution den,
07:09there are victims
07:11who are being forced
07:13to do sexual activities online.
07:15They are doing this
07:17through a website
07:19where most of their customers
07:21are foreigners.
07:23According to the PNP-ACG investigation,
07:25the website where the group was arrested
07:27cannot be accessed
07:29if a local credit card is used.
07:31The victims are also being paid
07:33a dollar for each show.
07:35The payment is based on
07:37how bad the sexual activities
07:39that the victim will do
07:41and the price
07:43that will be paid to him.
07:45Two prostitutes also started
07:47to operate at the prostitution den.
07:49The PNP-ACG received a tip
07:51about the illegal activity
07:53so they conducted an investigation.
07:55After that,
07:57an operation was launched
07:59after obtaining a search warrant
08:01from the court.
08:03In the face of a complaint
08:05against the Anti-Trafficking In Persons Act
08:07and the Cybercrime Prevention Act,
08:09the suspects who were arrested
08:11may face up to 20 years in prison
08:13and up to 2 million pesos.
08:15The lawyers of the suspects
08:17did not allow them to talk
08:19to the media
08:21because the case is still being investigated.
08:23For GMA Integrated News,
08:25I am Jun Veneracion,
08:27your Saksi.
08:33Before Saksi,
08:35a nurse in Tagbilaran, Bohol
08:37killed a patient
08:39using a pair of scissors.
08:41According to a police investigation,
08:43the suspect did not agree
08:45with the nurse's decision
08:47and while the patient was being processed
08:49at the hospital,
08:51the suspect saw the pair of scissors
08:53that he used to stab the patient.
08:55An employee should have helped
08:57but he was stabbed.
08:59The employee was injured
09:01while the nurse saved his life
09:03because of the number of stabs.
09:05The hospital released a statement
09:07that the victim's relatives
09:09have already given priority to the authorities
09:11and insisted that the safety
09:13of their staff and patients
09:15is their top priority.
09:17The police are now in custody
09:19of the suspect who turned out
09:21to be an informant.
09:23He will resign from politics
09:25in 2022 but
09:27President Bombo Marcos
09:29and former Vice President Lenny Robredo
09:31agreed to finish
09:33an event in Sorsogon.
09:35Saksi, Jonathan Andal.
09:39Nagkamayan,
09:41Nagnyitean,
09:43Nagbatean.
09:45Ganyan ang
09:47mabilis na muling pagtatagpo
09:49ng kilalang magkaribal sa politika
09:51na sina Pangulong Bombo Marcos
09:53at dating Vice President Lenny Robredo
09:55dito sa Sorsogon City.
09:57Pambihirang pagkakataong
09:59nagkasama muling sa publiko sina Marcos at Robredo
10:01na naging mahigpit ang tonggalian
10:03sa pagkabisi presidente
10:05noong eleksyon 2016.
10:07Talo noon ni Robredo si Marcos
10:09sa lamang na 263,473 votes.
10:11Inapela ito ni Marcos
10:13sa Korte Suprema na umuupong
10:15Presidential Electoral Tribunal
10:17pero hindi siya pinaburan nito.
10:19Buling nagharap ang dalawa
10:21sa 2022 Presidential Elections
10:23kung saan si Marcos naman
10:25ang tumalo kay Robredo na may malaking lamang
10:27na boto. Ang resulta,
10:29tinanggap naman ni Robredo.
10:31Si Senate President Jesus Codero
10:33ang naging dahilan ng pagtatagpo ngayon
10:35ng Marcos at Robredo.
10:37Inibitahan daw ni Codero si Robredo
10:39na samahan siyang salubungin ng Pangulo
10:41sa pagpuntan nito sa Bicol.
10:43Para ito, sa inauguration ng Sorsogon Sports Arena,
10:45ang sinasabi ngayong pinakamalaking
10:47sports venue sa Bicol region
10:49na may 12,000 seating capacity.
10:51Simbolik yun dahil
10:53sa Sports Arena kami
10:55nagkasama-sama, an odd trio,
10:57di ba? At
10:59siguro magandang pagpulutan
11:01ng aral ng mga politiko
11:03at ito yung nangyari.
11:05Ika nga, sa karera ng politika,
11:07halalahan na natin yung pagiging sportsman,
11:09yung pagsunod sa rules and regulations
11:11at yung pagtanggap ng maluwag
11:13kung sino ang magwawagi, mananalo
11:15ng medalya man
11:17o sa kaso nito sa halalag.
11:19Naroon din sa pagtitipon
11:21si dating Senador Bam Aquino,
11:23pamangkin ng Pinaslang na si dating Senador Ninoy Aquino
11:25na nakalaban din sa politika
11:27ng mga Marcos. Si Bam ang
11:29naging campaign manager ni Robredo noong
11:312022.
11:33Naniniwala si Escudero, simula na ito
11:35ng paghilom ng anumang mga sugat
11:37sa pagitan nila Robredo at Marcos.
11:39Tingin ko dito, unang hakbang
11:41tungo sa
11:43ika nga, paghilom ng kung anumang
11:45sugat, anumang hindi
11:47pagkakaunawaan, dahil halalahanin
11:49ninyo, anumang debate
11:51o pagkakaiba namin ng pananaw
11:53ay political, hindi personal.
11:55So mas madaling
11:57maghilom yun, mas madaling maayos siguro yun
11:59kesa personal.
12:01Sa orihinal na plano, magtatabi si Marcos
12:03at Robredo sa upuan, sa entablado.
12:05Pero matapos makamaya ni Robredo
12:07si Marcos, umalis na rin agad ito
12:09dahil may appointment pa raw sa Naga.
12:11Kilala niyo naman si VP Lenny, ayaw niya
12:13umeksena, at
12:15hinagpasa ko siya, kung anong nais, lamang niya
12:17ang gawin. In fact, inintay laman talaga niya
12:19na dumating si Pangulo Marcos, bago siya
12:21tuluyan tumulak, pabalik na Naga.
12:23Sinubukan namin makapanayam si Robredo,
12:25pero tumangi ito. Pero sabi na kanyang
12:27salita.
12:43Hindi rin nabanggit ng Pangulo sa kanyang
12:45talumpatyong pagkikita nila ni Robredo.
12:47Pero, iginiit niya ang kahalagahan
12:49ng unity o pagkakaisa.
12:58Maaring pag may pagkakaiba tayo
13:00sa paniniwala at sa opinion,
13:02ngunit alam ko na tayo
13:04ay pinagbubuknod ng
13:06iisang hangarin,
13:08na may angat
13:10ang antas ng pamumuhay
13:12ng bawat isang Pilipino.
13:14Bago ang pakikitang ito nila Robredo
13:16at Marcos, matatanda ang binisita rin
13:18ni Vice President Sara Duterte
13:20si Robredo sa kanyang bahay sa Naga.
13:22Pagkatapos nito, tinungu naman siya
13:24ng mga kaalyado ni Pangulong Marcos
13:26na sinanong ay DILG Sek. Benor Abalos
13:28at Sen. Bong Revilla.
13:30Sinabi noon ni Robredo,
13:32walang halong politika ang mga naging
13:34pagbisitang ito dahil lahat
13:36welcome na bumisita kapagpista
