00:00House Speaker Martin Romualdez denied the accusation of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:05that she has a plan to kill the vice president.
00:07In Duterte's response to the hearing in the House of Representatives,
00:10she questioned the extension of the contempt order to her chief of staff.
00:15Reporting to you, Jonathan Anda.
00:20How can you ask a resource person without giving him copies?
00:24Without giving him copies?
00:27In the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,
00:31Vice President Sara Duterte and ACT-Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro responded.
00:36Why is it that the vice president is batting?
00:40Yes, ma'am.
00:41The point of order is proper.
00:44One minute to just declare a petition.
00:46Well, point of order.
00:47The hearing was suspended,
00:49but VP Sara approached the congressmen leading the committee.
00:53What's going on?
00:54The VP questioned the resignation of Antipolo Rep. Romeo Acop
00:58to Deped Special Disbursement Officer Edward Fajarda
01:02for not giving him a copy of the document he was asking for.
01:05VP Sara also violated the contempt order for five days
01:09against her chief of staff, Atty. Zulaika Lopez.
01:13It was not enough in the hearing.
01:15Because according to the certificate of confinement and excuse letter she was given,
01:19she is suffering from acute stress disorder.
01:22Her doctors are not saying here
01:25that she is not physically incapable of attending today's hearing.
01:33We saw in the history of her evasive attitude,
01:39behavior,
01:41and her creation that she is lying.
01:45If VP Sara knows this,
01:47why would she let Lopez go?
01:50Out of four DepEd officials,
01:52only the President is accepting the resignation of Assistant Secretary and Undersecretary
01:57as this is also the appointing authority.
01:59I asked you earlier, who is the appointing authority?
02:03Yousef of ASEC.
02:04What is your answer?
02:05Secretary.
02:06You don't know.
02:07I haven't answered yet.
02:08I saw you answer.
02:11Camera.
02:14I saw you answer.
02:15You said Secretary.
02:16You don't know who is appointing the President.
02:22You need to reconsider that extension of your detention.
02:25It was illegal in the first place.
02:27You asked the President why he accepted the resignation.
02:32Do not ask due process.
02:35I will go to court.
02:38But everyday, you are depriving a person of her liberty while I await.
02:45The special disbursing officer of the Office of the Vice President, Gina Acosta, also faced the camera.
02:50Acosta was the one who was assigned to sign the disbursement voucher
02:53and get the check for P125 million in December 2022.
02:59But while being fired from the camera,
03:01she became weak and was transferred to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
03:04According to VP Sara, Acosta was fined P150 million over P100 million.
03:09The DepEd special disbursement officer, Edward Fajarda, was also fired from the camera.
03:14Fajarda withdrew P37.5 million three times in February 2023.
03:20In total, it amounted to P112 million in confidential funds.
03:25Fajarda said that the security officer, Colonel Dennis Nolasco,
03:29was the one who was giving money to those who were accepting confidential funds.
03:32The instruction came from VP Sara.
03:35This is the reason why we don't want to discuss confidential funds.
03:39We will wait for Colonel Nolasco.
03:42VP Sara said that she doesn't know who gave Nolasco the money
03:45based on the liquidation report of the DepEd.
03:48The DepEd gave confidential funds to seven places
03:51including Makati, Davao, Negros Oriental, and Negros Occidental.
03:55Nolasco did not deny it.
03:58House Speaker Martin Romualdez challenged VP Sara
04:01to answer the questions related to confidential funds.
04:04The issues surrounding confidential and intelligence funds,
04:07the questionable disbursements,
04:10and the lack of transparency demand answers.
04:13If you are not hiding anything,
04:16why don't you answer the questions?
04:19She also denied the accusation of VP Sara
04:22that she has a plan to kill him.
04:25VP Sara should also be held accountable
04:27for admitting that she has contracted the VC
04:29that will kill Romualdez, President Marcos,
04:32and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos
04:35if someone tries to kill VP Sara.
04:38This is no longer a joke.
04:40This is no longer a normal conversation.
04:43This is a direct threat to our democracy.
