NewsTranscript
00:00The day before yesterday, the Chief of Staff of Vice President Sara Duterte returned home from a commotion.
00:07At 10 o'clock in the evening, Vice President Duterte turned on his head and in an online briefing,
00:12he stated that if he was going to be killed, he had a plan to kill the President, the First Lady, and the House Speaker.
00:20The palace was taking the threat seriously.
00:23Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff got emotional and after several times of moving hospitals,
00:28he was brought to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
00:31And Marisol Abduraman was there live.
00:35Sol?
00:37Pia Yvonne, after what seemed like an unfortunate event,
00:40Atty. Zulaika Lopez was transferred to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
00:45Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Bato de la Rosa were still with Lopez.
00:51We are going to Hawaii, but we are ordered to...
00:54We want my lawyers to be present.
01:13Who are you defending now?
01:14Yes, ma'am.
01:15I really want my lawyers to be present.
01:18The order of the committee of the House is to transfer you immediately.
01:23I understand that, but I really like my lawyers to be present.
01:27Can we arrange that while we're in transit?
01:30No, I really like my lawyers to be present.
01:33Later, Vice President Sara Duterte arrived from the office of her brother, Davao City Rep. Paulo Duterte,
01:41where she has been staying for two days.
01:43Ma'am, no, we're just waiting for the order.
01:46In the second time that the transfer order will be served to Lopez,
01:50the door of the room was closed while Duterte was staring at the window
01:54and introduced himself to one of Lopez's lawyers.
01:57Before I give you the copy, ma'am, will you please allow me to read it?
02:02Yes, ma'am.
02:03Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much, ma'am.
02:05Okay, ma'am, may I continue?
02:09Duterte still did not agree to transfer Lopez.
02:12In an online briefing last night, Lopez told how the transfer order was served to her.
02:18We're about to sleep. This is, I mean, it's already 12 o'clock in the evening
02:23and then they entered one by one.
02:25I am not going anywhere and then I told them to get out of this room
02:29because as a detainee of this facility, this is my space.
02:33I have a chronic backache because I am so scared.
02:38This is not just harassment, this is really a threat to my life.
02:44Lopez was detained after being cited in contempt after being written by the Commission on Audit
02:49to say, do not follow the instructions of the camera
02:52that is issuing audit reports on the confidential funds of the OVP.
02:57In the middle of the briefing, Lopez's feelings became clear
03:01and VP Sarana was in front of him
03:03where she will be the gatekeeper of the administration to her and the people of the OVP.
03:08Vice President Bongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez
03:17All of you, Martin Romualdez, Liza Marcos, Bongbong Marcos,
03:26you haven't seen an enemy like me.
03:31Lopez's tears continued and in the middle of the live stream,
03:35Sir, help us!
03:37Vice President Bongbong Marcos said that she will not let the ambulance that will take Lopez to the hospital.
03:46Past 4 in the morning, the PNP ambulance arrived at the detention center
03:51and Lopez was taken out in a stretcher.
03:53Ma'am, someone stole your cell phone. Give it back.
03:57Past 3 in the afternoon, they arrived at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
04:02He was in there for a long time and then he collapsed.
04:05They decided to transfer Lopez to the St. Luke's Medical Center.
04:11The PNP ambulance doors were closed by the police but Duterte was still able to stand.
04:16Where's the VP? Come here!
04:18Excuse me!
04:20Where's the VP?
04:23Where did you see him?
04:25He's not a convict.
04:27Ma'am, we'll take him to St. Luke's.
04:29No, no. Earlier, you were told to go to St. Luke's.
04:32You brought him here.
04:34I don't know. He's a different driver.
04:36Sir, no.
04:37He's a different driver.
04:38Did you see his condition?
04:40How can you say that?
04:41You know that he's an injustice to the people.
04:47Don't be gay!
04:50Lopez was transferred to another ambulance that did not leave immediately because the PNP ambulance doors were closed.
04:56The supporters of the VP were shocked when they found out that he was already out.
05:04At 5.30 a.m., the ambulance arrived at St. Luke's Medical Center where he stayed until this afternoon.
05:11In our interview with Vice President Sara Duterte, she said that Speaker Martin Rumualdez won because Lopez was transferred to the OVP.
05:24She said that this is scary for his safety.
05:27Meanwhile, the CIDG Director, Nicholas Torres, clarified that he only helped the Office of the Sergeant at Arms to transfer Lopez to the VMMC.
05:38It just so happened that he was the only senior official available.
05:41Here's the latest from VMMC.
05:44Back to you.
05:46Thank you very much, Marisol Abduraman.
05:49Following the transfer of the detention facility of his Chief of Staff,
05:52Vice President Sara Duterte led the fight against the President, the First Lady, and the House Speaker.
06:00Jomer Apresto was the one who won.
06:02Jomer Apresto.
06:08This is the answer of Vice President Sara Duterte when she asked an online press code
06:13on how she will protect herself in the middle of her impeachment in the government.
06:18I already talked to someone.
06:20I told him that if I get killed, kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Rumualdez.
06:28No joke.
06:30No joke.
06:31I already made a deal, ma'am.
06:34If I die, I said, don't stop until you kill them all.
06:41And then he said, yes.
06:48This country is going to hell
06:52because we are led by a person who doesn't know how to be a president and who is a liar.
07:02The vices against the First Lady are also heavy.
07:05Lisa Marcos, do you remember that you sent me a video?
07:14You told me where to get the money.
07:21You showed the face of a person
07:28in your video message.
07:31You sent me written instructions
07:36about money.
07:39Millions a month.
07:44What is written in the envelope?
07:46Death end.
07:48What did I do?
07:49I gave it to the death end.
07:54You don't have a position in the government.
07:56You're giving money to the government.
08:00The Vice President also questioned the transfer order to his Chief of Staff,
08:04Atty. Zuleika Lopez, which was released last night.
08:09From 6.15 until 12 midnight,
08:15he made a report.
08:20The committee had a meeting.
08:26Where was the meeting?
08:29Show me the minutes.
08:32After bringing Lopez to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center,
08:35he was transferred to the Safe Looks Medical Center.
08:38I understand that he has questions that the doctor answered.
08:49But she doesn't respond to us.
08:55The OVP said that the police claimed that the ANI is a force to be reckoned with
09:00while watching over them.
09:02VP Sara said that Atty. Lopez is now afraid of the police because of what happened to her.
09:09I believe that it was an attempted homicide because she feared for her life.
09:16Why do you have to antagonize a detainee who is fully cooperating with everything that needs to be done
09:25so that this f****** hearing ends?
09:30VP Sara is convinced that she is the only target of the detainee
09:34and that her people are just cooperating with the OVP.
09:38We are trying to get the statements of Malacanang and Romualdez,
09:41which are the statements of the Vice President.
09:45For GMA Integrated News, Jomer Apresto for 24 Hours.
09:51The statements of Vice President Sara Duterte are in line with the life of the President,
09:55First Lady, and House Speaker.
09:57She is being considered as an active threat.
10:01But Duterte clarified that she did not release a threat.
10:05Jonathan Andal is on the spot.
10:10I was talking to someone.
10:12I told him that if he kills me,
10:15kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romualdez.
10:21The statements of Vice President Sara Duterte
10:24are being considered as Malacanang's active threat.
10:27That's why they put it under the Presidential Security Command for immediate action.
10:31According to Palacio, whatever threat to the life of the President,
10:34especially if it is clearly made public,
10:37it should always be taken seriously.
10:39When the Vice President clarified in a press conference,
10:42her statement is not a threat to the President, First Lady, and Speaker.
10:47The volume of the Zoom press conference was not low.
10:53I said, if I die,
11:00it means that in the first place, there is a threat to me.
11:07But they simply do not care that I am also concerned about my security
11:14because I hear things.
11:16It's the same as throwing a boat in the West Philippine Sea,
11:21which was talking about doing it is not actionable.
11:28VP previously said that because of her commitment,
11:32she will make the former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
11:36and throw it in the West Philippine Sea.
11:38The Vice President released a statement against the President
11:40after the order to transfer his Chief of Staff,
11:43Attorney Zelaika Lopez, to the Women's Correctional
11:46from the House Detention Facility.
11:48But because of the illness,
11:50they brought Lopez to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center
11:53and transferred him to St. Luke's.
11:55The camera then ordered to return Lopez to the Veterans.
12:06She is afraid to be transferred to the Correctional
12:09based on the transfer order that was shown to her.
12:12But CIDG Chief Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III explained to her
12:17that he will be brought to the Government Hospital
12:19based on their transfer order.
12:28Lopez was explained for a few minutes
12:30before he was convinced to go out of the hospital
12:33and board the bus.
12:35It's 12 o'clock in the afternoon now.
12:38CIDG approved the transfer of medical facility
12:42for Attorney Zelaika Lopez
12:44that was issued by the House of Representatives
12:46from St. Luke's.
12:47He will board this van
12:49and will be brought to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
12:52The committee said that the OVP and DepEd Funds of VP Sara
12:56are blaming Lopez for leaving the law complex
12:59because of the issue of security.
13:01The whole committee held a special meeting last night via Zoom
13:04to decide the transfer of Lopez to the Correctional.
13:07In our discussion,
13:10one of the things that we discussed
13:13is the security risk
13:15not only of our House of Representatives
13:19but also of our Vice President.
13:22That's why the decision of the members
13:25is to transfer him to a facility
13:28that has more capacity
13:30and has the ability to secure
13:32so that it will be fine.
13:36This is an emergency situation
13:39because of the security risk
13:41that we are discussing here.
13:43We cannot wait until Monday.
13:47For GMA Integrated News,
13:49Jonathan Andal,
13:50for Tutok, 24 hours.
