00:00Vice President Sara Duterte will continue the National Bureau of Investigation's complaint against the Anti-Terror Law and Grave Threats.
00:11This is in line with what the Vice President said that he was ordered to kill President Marcos,
00:18First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez if he was killed.
00:25First news, Joseph Morong.
00:30I was talking to someone and I told him that if I was killed,
00:35kill BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez.
00:40No joke, if I was killed, I told him not to stop until you kill them.
00:48And then he said yes.
00:51In line with this statement, on the early morning of Saturday,
00:54the National Bureau of Investigation faced Vice President Sara Duterte on Friday
00:59Based on the statement of the NBI, Vice President Sara Duterte explained
01:04for the possible complaint of grave threats and violation of the Anti-Terror Law,
01:09a law that was signed by his own father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, in 2020.
01:16If there is a schedule of interrogation,
01:18the vice president can send a body to reset his face to the NBI.
01:23Quickly, do you need him?
01:26I hope it's better if the vice president himself will go.
01:30This will be a fair investigation, impartial.
01:35The case of violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act is heavy
01:38because those who can violate some particular provisions of the law
01:41can be arrested by a law enforcement agent or military personnel without a warrant of arrest
01:47and detained for up to 14 days before facing the court.
01:51This can be extended for up to 10 days if necessary.
01:55If Duterte will not respond to the NBI's request,
01:58the complaint will continue to be filed to the Department of Justice.
02:02We will proceed and whatever evidence we have, that's all.
02:09The vice president refused to speak because he has not yet received the sentence.
02:12But based on what he said on Saturday, he said it was taken out of context.
02:18There is absolutely no flesh on the bone.
02:22And despite the absence of a reliable investigation,
02:26authorities were quick to consider this a national security concern.
02:32This will only happen if he is killed.
02:35Tossing the word assassin, please check.
02:39Did I say assassin there?
02:42Nothing.
02:43So they put there in their narrative, assassin.
02:47And they put in their narrative, murder plot.
02:51My question now to the administration,
02:55is revenge from the grave a crime?
02:59They have to kill me first.
03:01So now they can't kill me anymore.
03:05Unless they want to die.
03:08VP asked the Presidential Security Command why there is no action?
03:11Where are the threats in his life?
03:13He said he has a list of threats even though he did not deny it.
03:17I did not expect that, ma'am, in PSC.
03:19And I will not accept, ma'am, at this point,
03:22if they will add people here.
03:25Because we don't know if they will add non-partisan people.
03:32Not necessarily coming from PSC, ma'am.
03:34No, I don't trust anyone right now.
03:36The vice president said his chief of staff, Atty. Zuleika Lopez,
03:41after extending the contempt order against him for five days.
03:45Lopez is still at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
03:48Also, the Special Dispersing Officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta,
03:52who was pressured to listen.
03:54I am listening, ma'am.
03:56Why are you listening?
03:58Because I really don't know who Kukoy Villamin is,
04:05Grace Piatos.
04:08Because Sir La Chica is on the ground.
04:12He is the one who is preparing.
04:14I just listened to what he said to me.
04:18It was acknowledged, ma'am.
04:21But, ma'am, that is your job as a Special Dispersing Officer.
04:27Yes, ma'am.
04:29But my boss has an order, ma'am,
04:31that I will release to Sir La Chica, ma'am.
04:35Vice President Duterte, at the time, ordered Acosta
04:38to give P125 million pesos to a Colonel La Chica,
04:42who is a member of the VPSPG or Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group.
04:46On the other hand, the former Dispersing Officer, Edward Fajarda,
04:50admitted that he was giving confidential funds to another Colonel, Dennis Nolasco,
04:55which is not right according to some congressmen.
04:58In the end, it is a command responsibility.
05:02And we can see that all of them are just obeying the orders of our Vice President.
05:12So, in the end, if there are violations of the law,
05:17if there is someone who needs to be punished,
05:22our Vice President needs to acknowledge the punishment here in the Parliament.
05:32Because this is more than P50 million.
05:34If you use the budget for others, no matter how lawful it is,
05:39that is technical malversation.
05:41The four OVP staff who attended the hearing were allowed to go home.
05:45The congressmen said that they hope to attend the next hearing on Friday,
05:49the hospitals in Lopez and Acosta, as well as Vice President Duterte.
05:53In an interview with BISECT, VP Sara also said that she is watching her staff in the hospital
05:58so that they cannot speak.
06:00Contrary to her, she was also asked about the transfer of funds from SDOs to security officers.
06:06Do you know why it is only P150 million?
06:09Because it was computed what will be done and what will be implemented every month.
06:19P150 million is a very small amount.
06:24So, why did we steal P150 million?
06:28What the government did was P1 billion.
06:31It was used for work.
06:33This is the first news.
