00:37so that your daughter can take over. A former special disbursing officer of the

00:46accounts of school superintendents. And China deploys naval and air forces to

00:54The National Bureau of Investigation serves a subpoena to Vice President Sara Duterte Tuesday,
01:01November 26, after her threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,
01:06First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:09Duterte is directed to appear before NBI Director Jaime Santiago at his office at 9 a.m. on Friday,
01:15November 29 to explain her side and to discuss her own security concerns.
01:20The NBI chief says among their evidence against Duterte is the video clip of the
01:24vice president's press conference on Saturday, November 23.
01:37She backtracked on her statement days later, claiming what she said had been
01:41maliciously taken out of logical context.
01:46Former President Rodrigo Duterte called for military and police intervention
01:50to protect the Constitution amid what he described as a fractured government.
01:54But he stopped short of calling for a coup d'etat.
02:12In a press conference Monday evening, November 25,
02:15Duterte once again called President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. a drug addict.
02:20This time, he included Marcos' special assistant, Antonio Lagdameo Jr.,
02:24in the allegations of illegal substance use.
02:26Duterte presented no proof to back his claims.
02:29Duterte said he plans to meet with military officers from Camp Aguinaldo about it,
02:33but he was careful not to explicitly call for a coup.
02:36Duterte's latest attacks on the Marcos Jr. administration came in the wake of a congressional
02:41investigation into corruption allegations against his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:50Duterte for urging the military to step in and fix the fractured government,
02:54a move the palace saw as seeking the ouster of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
02:58Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin says in a statement,
03:02no motive is more selfish than calling for a sitting president
03:05to be overthrown so that your daughter can take over.
03:08Bersamin adds the explicit call of former President Duterte for our
03:11armed forces to stage a coup d'etat against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is shocking.
03:16He notes Duterte will go to great and evil lengths,
03:18such as insulting our professional armed forces by asking them to betray their oath
03:23for his plan to succeed.
03:24In another of his late-night press conferences, Rodrigo Duterte said there is a fracture in
03:29government and only the military can see the solution, but stopped short of calling for a coup.
03:34Bersamin goes on to say the state will act resolutely to go against all unlawful
03:38attempts and challenges. It is not clear what he means by act resolutely.
03:42A former Special Dispersing Officer of the Department of Education admitted on Monday,
03:48November 25 that DepEd chief Sara Duterte ordered him to give cash to school superintendents
03:54through their bank accounts.
03:55Tinggog Rep. Jude Asidre asked former DepEd SDO Edward Fajarda,
04:12Asidre also showed a screenshot of a supposed conversation among school division superintendents
04:29from Central Visayas. Duterte herself had a no-gift policy in the DepEd.
04:33Manila 6 District Rep. Benny Abante noted Duterte must have known that any gifts given
04:39could be considered bribery.
04:42China's military says it deployed naval and air forces to monitor and warn a United States Navy
04:47patrol aircraft that flew through the Taiwan Strait Tuesday, November 26. It denounces the
04:52U.S. for trying to quote-unquote, mislead the international community. The U.S. Navy's 7th
04:57fleet says a maritime patrol aircraft flew through the strait in international airspace.
05:02It adds the flight demonstrates the U.S.'s commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
05:07Around once a month, U.S. military ships or aircraft pass through or above the waterway
05:11that separates democratically governed Taiwan from China. These missions always anger Beijing.
05:17China claims sovereignty over the island of Taiwan and says it has jurisdiction over the
05:21strait. Taiwan and the United States dispute that, saying the strait is an international waterway.
05:27And that's today's wrap. With Cara Oliver, I am JC Gotinga. Thank you for watching.
