00:00We have new news, Vice President Sara Duterte visited her Chief of Staff, Atty. Zuleika Lopez.
00:07Lopez was detained in the House Detention Center after the camera was sighted in contempt this Wednesday
00:12due to undue interference or excessive attention to the camera's work.
00:17House Secretary General Reginald Velasco said that the vice president arrived at around 8 p.m.
00:23and that the vice president was still in the room until this morning.
00:27There are no details as to what was discussed by the vice president and his chief of staff.
00:32Lopez was contempted after the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability heard
00:38that he wrote to the Commission on Audit that the confidential files of the OVP should not be given to the camera
00:45because the investigation is not yet complete.
00:48He explained that he did not intend to undermine the power of the Congress.
00:53Lopez asked the Office of the Vice President not to issue a statement regarding his detention under the National Law.
01:01We have an update on the visit of Vice President Sara Duterte to the Chief of Staff who was detained in the camera.
01:07We have a report on the spot from Ian Cruz. Ian?
01:11Yes Connie, the security here in the National Law continues to be tight.
01:15Vice President Sara Duterte came here to accompany the contempted chief of staff, Atty. Zulaika Lopez.
01:22Connie, earlier this morning, we saw VP Zara enter the house where Atty. Lopez was detained.
01:31Until now, Connie, VP Zara is still inside and there is no information as to when she will be released.
01:37Earlier, we saw a tight security near the detention center where the Commission on Good Government and Public Accountability ordered Lopez to be detained
01:46due to undue interference in the committee's work when COA wrote that their audit report on the use of confidential funds of the OVP should not be submitted to the camera.
01:58House Secretary General Reginald Velasco announced that around 8 p.m., VP Zara visited Atty. Lopez.
02:04Velasco said that they allowed VP Zara to visit her chief of staff in the visitor's center of the camera because the detention center of the camera is small.
02:12At 12 p.m. last night, Duterte visited the office of his brother, Congressman Paulo Duterte.
02:18That's when VP Zara passed away. Until now, we don't know until when VP Zara will remain here.
02:27She said that she's ready to accompany her people to the detention center even if they are content.
02:33I expect that later, Connie, a press conference of Congressman Joel Chua, the chairman of the Committee on Good Government,
02:39regarding the situation here in the law. Back to you, Connie.
02:43Thank you very much Ian Cruz.
