00:00The seven officials of the Office of the Vice President were placed in the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order.

00:07They include the Chief of Staff of the OVP, who is already abroad and has travel documents approved by Vice President Sara Duterte

00:17according to her office in Katutok, Tina Panganibang-Perez.

00:21The chairperson of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability has doubts

00:30that someone is stopping the officials of the Office of the Vice President

00:34who is facing an investigation by the committee regarding the expenses of confidential and intelligence funds

00:40received by Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:43The Chief of Staff of the Vice President, Zulika Lopez, was supposed to be here,

00:49but she flew to America on the eve of the committee hearing yesterday.

00:53The committee chair, Jowel Chua, said that they are aware that Vice President Duterte

00:58signed the travel authority of the Chief of Staff of the Office of the Vice President.

01:02It is saddening that the OVP officials are stopping the officials.

01:07This is also the view of other congressmen.

01:10There is a bad fate for some reasons.

01:13First, they were invited several times.

01:17Second, there is a bad fate because she left the country the night before the scheduled hearing.

01:25The Chief of Staff has the obligation to explain the irregularities, the concerns, and the issues.

01:32If you are not hiding anything, why are you avoiding it?

01:35In a statement, the OVP confirmed that Lopez traveled to America and approved a visa.

01:44This is a personal trip and has no connection to his work.

01:49The OVP also requested that Lopez and his family keep their privacy

01:54when they are going through a difficult time.

01:57Lopez was with the seven OVP officials

02:00given by the Department of Justice by the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order.

02:05The camera requested this because of the several times the seven of them snubbed

02:09the invitations to attend the hearings.

02:12I would like to reiterate that this ILBO is not a restriction to their travel or their right to travel

02:18but merely a monitoring mechanism by which we can see if they left the country or entered the country.

02:24Some congressmen are also concerned about Vice President Sara Duterte's refusal to hear the camera.

02:32It does not set a good precedent for all resource persons that will attend in the future hearings.

02:38Even former President Aquino attended the Senate hearing and took his oath.

02:45President Duterte attended the Senate hearing and took his oath.

02:49It's premature to even say that this leads to the impeachment.

02:54We have yet really to find out what really happened as far as the utilization of these funds.

03:01We are listening to the reaction of Vice President Duterte.

03:06For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, for Tutok, 24 hours.
