00:00I don't know how to be a president.
00:05I don't know how to sit.
00:06I don't ever remember he had a platform where he said what he will do for this country.
00:12If Vice President Sar Duterte will grade President Bongbong Marcos,
00:161 out of 10 is the highest he will give.
00:21If he is your president, it's okay.
00:23I will just be the vice president.
00:27This country is just up to number 2.
00:29This is not number 1 for me.
00:33The media is still busy with her.
00:36She is the one who was used by the Marcos
00:39to win against the former Vice President Lenny Robredo in the 2022 Presidential Elections.
00:45Used?
00:47Yes.
00:49That's clear.
00:50I asked why me.
00:53And then she said,
00:54Lenny and I will lose if you don't bring the Bisaya.
00:59I am here sitting down today to tell everyone.
01:04They needed me.
01:06I don't need them.
01:08The former allies of the Elections 2022,
01:11but the support of Marcos and Duterte's Uni-team gradually decreased since May 2023.
01:18VP Sara resigned due to CMD's strength,
01:21followed by the demote of her close ally,
01:24former Representative and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,
01:28from being a Senior Deputy Speaker to just a Deputy Speaker.
01:34She was followed by Ugong, who was cooking for Arroyo,
01:37who was replaced by Kin as House Speaker,
01:39and Marcos' cousin, Representative Martin Romualdez.
01:43Arroyo rejected her.
01:45In September 2023,
01:47the issue of confidential funds was raised
01:50and the Office of the Vice President used P125 million in Loblang on the 11th of 2022.
01:59The Camera also rejected the P500 million of new confidential funds requested by the OVP.
02:06In January 2024,
02:08this statement became controversial by VP Sara's father,
02:12former President Rodrigo Duterte.
02:15Bongbong Marcos was the best.
02:18Now he's the President.
02:20The President is also the best.
02:27I think it's the fentanyl.
02:30Fentanyl is the strongest painkiller that you can buy.
02:35It is highly addictive
02:37and it has very serious side effects.
02:42One of those who participated in the pre-rally was VP Sara.
02:46First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos did not like it.
02:50It's a bad shot for me.
02:52Even so, President Marcos still expressed his trust in the Vice President.
02:56I am wholeheartedly grateful to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
03:00for his continued trust and confidence in me
03:04as the Secretary of Education.
03:06I intended my resignation as the Secretary.
03:10Until this June,
03:12VP Sara served as the Deputy Chief of Staff
03:15and Vice Chair of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.
03:20She did not attend the 3rd State of the Nation Address of President Marcos.
03:24In September, Vice President Marcos said,
03:27We were not friends at first.
03:30We just met because we became running mates.
03:33My friend is Senator Aimee Marcos.
03:36When Vice President Marcos traveled to the ASEAN Summit this month,
03:40VP Sara was not the caretaker he assigned.
03:44She was no longer part of the administration.
03:47When asked about her relationship with VP Sara, the President said,
03:51I'm a little dismayed to hear that she doesn't think that we are friends.
03:57I always thought that we were.
04:00But maybe I was deceived.
04:03That statement of Vice President Marcos was answered by VP Sara earlier.
04:08When I heard the deception,
04:16I thought, I won't answer it anymore.
04:21Because, for the love of God, you are already President.
04:26Is what you feel still important?
04:30You really have time to think about the deception of a woman.
04:36You have a lot of time.
04:38Can you tell her,
04:42Don't ever mention her name or say that I was deceived by her.
04:49So that we don't get confused.
04:52According to Vice President Marcos,
04:54Vice President Marcos' relationship with the President was not good
04:58during a graduation ceremony with the President.
05:01When I graduated,
05:03Mr. President, can I have your watch as a graduation gift?
05:10She answered,
05:15Why?
05:16Why will I give you my watch?
05:20At that point,
05:23I was already sick.
05:25I wanted to remove her head.
05:34I realized that the relationship was already toxic.
05:39And it did not help that the two people next to me were still laughing.
05:44They were still laughing at the child.
05:48She felt bad at that time
05:50and she was triggered by the interaction of the President and a graduating student.
05:55I imagined myself cutting his head.
06:03So no, I'm just kidding.
06:05So I realized that it was already toxic.
06:08That's how your imagination is.
06:12Your imagination is already attacking the person.
06:16And then I said,
06:18This is over.
06:19Vice President Marcos also mentioned
06:21some promises to her by the President
06:23after they won.
06:24Like the case that she was accused of using her presidential chopper
06:29to go home to Davao.
06:32It was not fulfilled.
06:34Sometimes I told him,
06:36I said,
06:37Can you say the 250?
06:41Because I'm the priority,
06:47not you.
06:48Because that's what we're talking about.
06:50Because you understand that I have a small child.
06:54I told him,
06:55Do I have to tell them?
06:57Because he said,
06:58Do I have to tell them?
07:01A semi-British accent.
07:04And I said,
07:05Of course.
07:06Because you're the President, you should say it.
07:11So I said,
07:13Okay.
07:16This is
07:23some form of insincerity.
07:26Due to the amount of attacks against her,
07:29the President's sister, Senator Aimee Marcos,
07:32was told in a group chat
07:34about their father,
07:35former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.,
07:37at the time of former President Duterte,
07:39who buried Marcos Sr. in the cemetery of Bayani.
07:43One time, I really told Senator Aimee,
07:46I told her,
07:47If you don't stop,
07:48I will eat your father.
07:52I will throw him in the West Philippine Sea.
07:56I told Senator Aimee,
07:59One of these days,
08:00I will go there,
08:02I will take your father's body,
08:06I will throw him in the West Philippine Sea.
08:12I don't think she answered.
08:15I don't remember.
08:16It's still there in the group chat.
08:18I think you saw it.
08:20She also said,
08:21she has a list of five
08:24impeachable offenses
08:25of President Marcos,
08:27but she did not list them all.
08:30She also released an allegation
08:32to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
08:34Imagine,
08:36we have a speaker
08:38who, on record,
08:41on paper,
08:43in another country,
08:45received an impeachment.
08:49That's why.
08:50We are trying to get Romualdez's record.
08:53Malacanang said,
08:55they will not release a statement
08:57about what VP Sara said.
08:59As for the 16 million pesos
09:01that the OVP spent on safe houses
09:03in 2022,
09:05using the confidential funds
09:07discussed yesterday in the Chamber,
09:09VP Sara said,
09:10they gave all the documents to COA.
09:13The committee did not accept
09:15any explanation from COA.
09:16Because in the beginning,
09:18I said,
09:20they want to impeach.
09:25They can't do it
09:27because they don't have a case
09:29for impeachment.
09:30So what they are doing there,
09:32they are fishing and fishing,
09:34they are looking for it.
09:36The chairman of the Committee on Good Government
09:38and Public Accountability said,
09:40the VC should have joined the hearings.
09:43There are a lot of questions
09:45that have not been answered yet.
09:48So for us,
09:50we are just doing our duty
09:52here in the committee.
