00:00We will be together in TAKLI!
00:15Vice President Sara Duterte is facing the NBI on Friday for an investigation into the grave threat and violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act
00:24due to her agreements with the President, the First Lady and the House Speaker.
00:28But despite the Vice President's taken out of context statements,
00:33she still defended the transfer of funds from her Special Disbursing Officers
00:38to the security officers who were caught on camera yesterday.
00:42Witness, Joseph Moro.
00:47I was talking to someone.
00:49I told him, if you kill me, kill BBM, Lisa Araneta and Martin Romales.
00:57It's no joke.
00:58If I die, I told him, don't stop until you kill them.
01:05And then he said yes.
01:08According to this statement, on the early morning of Saturday,
01:11Vice President Sara Duterte is facing the National Bureau of Investigation on Friday.
01:16Based on the NBI's statement,
01:19Vice President Sara Duterte explained the possible complaint of grave threats
01:24and violation of the Anti-Terror Law,
01:27a law signed by her own father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, in 2020.
01:33If Vice President Duterte has a scheduled visit to the camera,
01:35she can send a body to reset her face to the NBI.
01:40Wait, when will she arrive?
01:43I hope it's better if the Vice President herself will go.
01:47This will be a fair investigation, impartial.
01:52The case of violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act is serious
01:55because those who can steal certain provisions of the law
01:58can be arrested by law enforcement agents or military personnel without warrant of arrest
02:04and detained for up to 14 days before facing the court.
02:08This can be extended to up to 10 days if necessary.
02:12If Duterte does not respond to the NBI's complaint,
02:15the complaint will continue to be filed to the Department of Justice.
02:19We will proceed.
02:20Whatever evidence we have, that's all.
02:26The Vice President refused to speak because she has not yet received the statement.
02:30But contrary to what she said on Saturday,
02:33what she said was taken out of context.
02:36There is absolutely no flesh on the bone.
02:39Despite the absence of a reliable investigation,
02:44authorities were quick to consider this a national security concern.
02:53Causing the word assassin, please check.
02:57Did I say assassin there?
02:59Nothing.
03:01So they put assassin in their narrative.
03:04And they put murder plot in their narrative.
03:09My question now to the administration,
03:13is revenge from the grave a crime?
03:17They have to kill me first.
03:19So now they can't kill me anymore.
03:22Unless they want to die.
03:25VP asked the Presidential Security Command why there is no action?
03:29Where are the threats in her life?
03:31She said she has a list of threats even though she did not mention it.
03:35I did not expect that, ma'am, in the PSC.
03:37And I will not accept, ma'am, at this point,
03:40if they will add more people here
03:43because we do not know if they will add non-partisan people.
03:50Not necessarily coming from PSC, ma'am.
03:52No, I don't trust anyone right now.
03:54The Vice President said that his Chief of Staff,
03:57Atty. Zuleika Lopez, will conduct a legal action
03:59after the contempt order against her was extended for five days.
04:03Lopez is still at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
04:06The Special Dispersing Officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta,
04:09was pressured to listen last night.
04:12I am listening, ma'am.
04:13Why are you listening?
04:15Because I really don't know who Kokoy Villamin is,
04:22who Grace Piatos is.
04:26Because Sir La Chica is on the ground.
04:30She is the one who is performing.
04:32I am listening, ma'am.
04:33I am just wearing my uniform.
04:35She asked me to return the acknowledgement receipt, ma'am.
04:39But ma'am, that is your job as a Special Dispersing Officer.
04:46Yes, ma'am.
04:47But my boss ordered me to release Sir La Chica, ma'am.
04:53Vice President Duterte ordered Acosta
04:56to give P125 million pesos to a Colonel La Chica
05:00who is the head of the VPSPGO,
05:02Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group.
05:05On behalf of the former Dispersing Officer, Edward Fajarda,
05:08he promised to give the confidential funds
05:11to another Colonel, Dennis Nolasco,
05:13which is not right according to some congressmen.
05:16In the end, it is a command responsibility.
05:20We can see that they are all just following the orders of our Vice President.
05:30So, in the end, if there are violations of the law,
05:35if there is someone who needs to be punished,
05:40our Vice President needs to take responsibility for the lack of it.
05:51If you used the budget for someone else,
05:54no matter how lawful it is, that is technical malversation.
05:59The four OVP staff who attended the hearing yesterday were allowed to go home.
06:03The congressmen said that they hope to attend the next hearing on Friday
06:07among the hospitals in Lopez and Acosta, as well as Vice President Duterte.
06:12In an interview with VISA earlier,
06:14VP Sara said that she is watching her staff in the hospital
06:17so that they cannot speak.
06:19Contrary to her, she was also asked about the transfer of funds
06:22from the SDOs to the security officers.
06:25Do you know why it is only P150 million?
06:29Because it was computed,
06:31what will be done every month and what will be implemented.
06:39P150 million is a very small amount.
06:43So, why did we steal P150 million?
06:47The government stole P1 billion.
06:49It was used for work.
06:51For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, your witness.
07:01Before the witness,
07:02a brutal killing in Calamba, Laguna.
07:04Three, including a senior citizen,
07:07were found dead after they were stabbed by steel.
07:11Our witness.
07:14Three victims, including a senior citizen in a compound in Calamba City, Laguna,
07:18were found dead after they were stabbed by steel.
07:21According to the police,
07:23the victims were stabbed by steel
07:25from an improvised blow by the suspect.
07:27According to the investigation,
07:29before the crime happened,
07:31the victims were drinking with the suspect.
07:33The suspect's colleague,
07:35alias Cherry, witnessed the crime.
07:37He told the police,
07:39the victims were sleeping when they were stabbed by steel.
07:56The suspect was arrested in a follow-up operation.
07:58He explained that he committed the crime
08:00because he ran away from the robbery.
08:02He also added that he was attacked by one of the victims
08:07using a knife.
08:09The suspect was facing multiple complaints.
08:12For GMA Integrated News,
08:14Jun Veneracion, your witness.
08:18The Department of Justice also investigated
08:20the allegations of former President Rodrigo Duterte
08:22against the government and President Bongbong Marcos.
08:25In a press conference last night,
08:27the former President challenged the military
08:29that protects the Constitution
08:31while questioning their support for the President.
08:35Your witness, Salima Refrat.
08:41The former President Rodrigo Duterte
08:43challenged President Bongbong Marcos.
08:46There is a fracture
08:51in the government in our Philippines.
08:57Nobody can correct that.
08:59Nobody can correct Marcos.
09:01Nobody can correct Romaldez.
09:04He also questioned the continued support
09:07of the military and police for the President.
09:09To the military and police,
09:14would you still continue to support a drug addict?
09:20You all know that.
09:21But just ask the Presidential Security Command.
09:25They are all military.
09:28You did not go far.
09:30Those are your people in the military.
09:33Until when will you support a drug addict?
09:40According to the former President,
09:41there is a flaw in the leadership of the country.
09:43And only the military can correct it.
09:47It is only the military who can correct it.
09:49They will not go to the war tanks.
09:55Just tell them that we don't want your game anymore.
09:59We are out.
10:03Because if there is no military,
10:05their game will be over.
10:07He also challenged them to protect the Constitution.
10:11I'm challenged to the military itself.
10:14The whole of the military,
10:15because they are supposed to be protectors of the Constitution.
10:23Now tell me, if they are protectors of the Constitution,
10:28are they willing to still protect the President
10:33who is a drug addict for another four years?
10:37The former President's statements were echoed by Malacanang.
10:41To Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamit,
10:43he called for a call
10:45for KUDETA to launch a strong military against the President.
10:50There is no better reason to ask
10:52for the President to step down
10:55than for his own son to sit down.
10:58It is unacceptable for the President to fight for power
11:02so that the President can easily be overthrown
11:04by meddling, chaos, and rebellion.
11:09According to Bersamit,
11:10the State will move against all attacks
11:13and attacks against the children.
11:16The Armed Forces of the Philippines also argued
11:18that they will remain true to the Constitution
11:20and to the government's halal officials.
11:23They also called on politicians
11:25not to include the Armed Forces in their statements.
11:29Our Armed Forces is united and professional.
11:33We shun away from being included.
11:35We want to be isolated from political issues
11:37and we request the Philippine public
11:40to have calm and resolve
11:42and trust in the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
11:45We will do our mandate accordingly.
11:47This is also what the PNP said.
11:49With due respect to our former President,
11:51what is happening now
11:53cannot be helped by these words.
11:57To our citizens,
11:59let us be discerning to those who are watching
12:02and listening to the rumours.
12:05The Department of Justice will investigate
12:07these statements of Duterte.
12:10For him to invite the military
12:12to have a part in seeking remedy
12:16is bordering on sedition
12:18and is legally actionable.
12:20We will have to look at every angle.
12:22The threat issued by the Vice President
12:25is something that should also be factored in
12:28whether this is really part and parcel
12:32of a bigger plan for destabilization.
12:35GMA Integrated News is trying to get
12:38the attention of House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
12:40But his allies said,
12:42It's inciting to sedition
12:44because they're calling on the AFP
12:46to take up arms against the government.
12:47This is another diversionary tactics
12:49to cover up the real issue
12:52that our Vice President is facing.
12:55We think that the issues
12:58that our Vice President is facing
13:01are very serious.
13:03He needs the help of his father.
13:05The current issue is facing
13:07Vice President Sara Duterte.
13:09From the issue of confidential funds
13:12to her monitoring of the President,
13:14the First Lady, and the House Speaker.
13:16In a press conference last night,
13:18the former President Duterte said
13:20that his son, Vice, can handle
13:22the issues he is facing.
13:24It's nothing to do with Inday.
13:26Inday can handle it.
13:28It's too insignificant.
13:32If they're accusing Inday,
13:34then they're accusing her.
13:36She can't be imprisoned.
13:38She really can't be imprisoned.
13:40If you kill her,
13:42that's a crime.
13:43For GMA Integrated News,
13:45I'm Sanima Raffa, your witness.
