00:00Let's be together, Saksi!
00:14Baka Puso, before Saksi, the recyclable materials warehouse is still on fire, as well as the five houses in Barangay Catmon, Malabon.
00:22According to the fire marshal of Malabon, at 2.30 pm, there was a sudden fire.
00:26According to Superradio DZBB, the fire started in the barracks of Catayan, Piesa ng Sasakyan.
00:34The fire spread to the adjacent junk shop where there were a lot of plastic and rubber.
00:39The fire continued until 5 pm.
00:43As of now, the fire is under control but it is not yet fired out.
00:46It is still being investigated where the fire started and how many families were affected.
00:56The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
01:00asked Vice President Sara Duterte to remain in the House of Representatives
01:03to accompany the detained Chief of Staff.
01:06The Vice President also visited the House Speaker and other congressmen.
01:11Saksi, CN Crew.
01:16This was taken by Vice President Sara Duterte and her Chief of Staff, Atty. Sulaika Lopez, who is detained in the House of Representatives.
01:24This was posted by Atty. Harry Roque on his Facebook account, Ang Bise.
01:28Last night, Lopez was in front of the camera
01:31when the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability was sighted in contempt.
01:36This was after hearing on Wednesday that Lopez wrote to the Commission on Audit
01:41to tell them not to follow the camera's orders
01:44that are being submitted by audit reports on the confidential funds of OVB.
01:49She is in high spirits. Actually, I can still make her laugh.
01:52We are thankful to Congressman Joe Welchua
01:55because he is giving the requests of Usec Lopez.
02:02And the requests that I said to visit,
02:07subject to their rules in the detention center, he agreed.
02:13Last night, VP Sara was in her brother's office.
02:16Congressman Paulo Duterte was there.
02:18Even though the House Sergeant-at-Arms was talking, the electricity was cut off.
02:23If they could possibly already leave the premises,
02:26as there is always a practice during long weekends,
02:31that we turn off power in all our buildings.
02:35Actually, I was visited by the Sergeant-at-Arms.
02:42Earlier, he had a meeting with me.
02:46We sat down and we talked.
02:49Then he said,
02:52No, I will not leave.
02:55He said,
02:57I need to do my job. You need to leave.
03:00I said,
03:02What are you going to do? Are you going to drag me out?
03:06He said,
03:07No, I will just escort you out.
03:09And then he said again,
03:10You need to leave. You need to leave.
03:12Again and again, I said,
03:14Sir, this is what we will do.
03:18Your boss is a congressman.
03:21The owner of this office is a congressman.
03:25So sir, why not?
03:27I told him,
03:28Let's elevate the two of them.
03:33Let's not talk here.
03:35We have an impasse here.
03:40Let's let both of them be congressmen.
03:43Vice said,
03:44It's not a security problem,
03:46because he has his own security.
03:48I said,
03:49Sir, the only one who wants to die is me,
03:52Martin Romualdez.
03:53And I don't think he will do that here inside the House of Representatives.
03:56He will do it outside.
03:59Earlier, Vice allowed Lopez to visit again.
04:02Our preparation is until after the new year.
04:06I asked them to buy me a tie,
04:08because this is where I will wash.
04:11And this is where I will dry my clothes.
04:15He is inside,
04:16Usec Izalayka Lopez is inside,
04:19because of me.
04:21I am the target of the committee hearings.
04:24Congressman Joel Chua,
04:26the chairman of the committee,
04:27wrote a letter to Vice,
04:28asking him to be with Atty. Lopez
04:30in his detention until November 25.
04:33We did not allow this,
04:35because at first,
04:37he was not part of the imprisonment.
04:42But he wrote again,
04:45he asked for permission,
04:47if possible,
04:48for him to visit Atty. Zulayka.
04:51And we allowed that.
04:53The committee also did not approve
04:55Congressman Duterte's request
04:57to transfer Lopez to his position.
05:00Lopez was given several requests,
05:02such as going to his therapy.
05:05As long as he is escorted
05:07by the House Surgeon-at-Arms.
05:09From 7am to 11am,
05:11and 1pm to 5pm,
05:13are the visiting hours
05:15for those detained in the cell.
05:17If there is a session,
05:18it can last until 7pm.
05:20But it should not be unlawful
05:22to keep a vice in the law.
05:24Should we say that
05:26our second president
05:28followed the law?
05:31Our second president
05:33is a lawyer.
05:35He is the second
05:37to the highest official
05:39of our country.
05:40I think he also knows
05:43what he should do
05:45and what to do about it.
05:47VP Sara was invited several times
05:49to listen to the committee,
05:50including to spend
05:52the confidential funds
05:53of DEPEL and OVP,
05:54but she did not attend.
05:55Lack of respect in the institution.
05:59We can see that
06:04if she wants something,
06:07she will do it.
06:09VP Sara said
06:11she will not attend
06:13the hearings in the chamber.
06:14Why would I answer to a speaker
06:17implicated in a bribery case?
06:19On record, in a court case.
06:22Why would I answer
06:24to a member...
06:26Until now,
06:28I don't know why
06:29he is still a member
06:30of the House of Representatives,
06:31convicted of child abuse,
06:33taking IP children
06:35to Davao City,
06:37to be brought to Manila.
06:39Why would I answer
06:41to a member of the House of Representatives
06:43who owes
06:45to my husband
06:47nine million
06:49because of a case?
06:54So why would I answer to them?
06:56Why would I answer
06:57to a member of the House of Representatives
07:00whose own father,
07:02who has a screen cap,
07:05apologizes for what his son is doing?
07:08VP Sara was not invited,
07:10but she said
07:11those are members of the committee
07:13who are blaming the OVP
07:15and DepEd funds.
07:17She also lied to Speaker Romualdez
07:20that she was the one
07:21who went to the hearing of the chamber
07:23in front of her constituents
07:25who are explaining
07:26about the spending of the funds.
07:28I do not
07:30gave him
07:31my trust and confidence
07:33as congressman.
07:34I did not vote for him
07:35as speaker
07:36of the House of Representatives.
07:39Right?
07:40So, I know him
07:42as Martin Romualdez,
07:43but I did not vote for him
07:45for congressman and speaker.
07:47So,
07:48he did not tell me
07:50what I should do.
07:54We are still trying to get
07:55the approval of the House Speaker
07:56regarding the statement of the vice.
07:58For GMA Integrated News,
08:00I am Ian Cruz,
08:01your witness.
08:0413-year-old Benatilio was shot
08:06by his brother,
08:07seven years old, in Manila.
08:08The victim was killed
08:09and the gun
08:10belonged to their father,
08:11the police.
08:13Witness,
08:14Marisol Abdurrama.
08:19It hurts.
08:21It hurts.
08:25There is nothing more painful
08:26for the father who lost his son.
08:29It hurts.
08:31It hurts.
08:35It hurts.
08:37I don't want to live anymore.
08:38I don't want
08:39to live anymore.
08:40I don't want to live anymore.
08:41I don't want to live anymore.
08:42I don't want to live anymore.
08:43I don't want to live anymore.
08:44I don't want to live anymore.
08:45I don't want to live anymore.
08:46I don't want to live anymore.
08:47The seven-year-old son
08:48who was left sleeping
08:50was found dead
08:51in the hospital.
08:53The most disturbing
08:54reason for the death of Benatilio
08:56is his other son
08:57who was 13 years old.
08:59The Benatilio was shot by his brother
09:01in an accident
09:02inside their house in Manila.
09:04Based on the initial investigation
09:05by the NPD,
09:06the father's service firearm
09:07was in the locker
09:08of a police officer.
09:10He opened the drawer
09:11and he saw the gun.
09:14Without knowing the reason,
09:18the gun shot.
09:19It hit a cabinet
09:22until it reached
09:23the other room
09:25where his brother was sleeping.
09:28According to the police,
09:29the bullet hit
09:30the left side of the back
09:32of Benatilio's son.
09:33Benatilio was rushed to the hospital
09:35but he died instantly.
09:37Aside from asking
09:38for his son's peace,
09:39the father's concern
09:41for his 13-year-old son
09:42who was shot by his brother
09:43was also intense.
09:44It happened, son.
09:45We may have fallen in love with God.
09:47But there is no God.
09:50You will blame yourself.
09:52The NPD is now in custody
09:54of the police
09:55who may face
09:56administrative and criminal charges.
09:58I accepted it, mom.
09:59But what happened
10:00to my children
10:01is the heaviest for me.
10:03It's hard to accept.
10:04It hurts.
10:06It hurts inside.
10:07It hurts my mind.
10:08It hurts my heart.
