00:00We will now talk to Philippine National Police spokesperson, Police Brigadier General Gene Pajardo, who will talk to us about Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09Good morning, General.
00:11Good morning, Sir Egan.
00:13Vice President Sara Duterte has filed a counter-complaint with the police.
00:18She also filed a complaint against her during the commotion last Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
00:24How will the PNP prepare for this?
00:28First of all, Sir Egan, we will wait for a copy of the complaint filed by our Vice President.
00:36That is part of the due process.
00:39We will also give them a chance to answer the complaint they filed against us.
00:43In the same manner, they will also be given a chance to answer the complaints we filed against them.
00:51We will also mention a possible case of kidnapping and robbery against the police.
00:58That's what we're saying, Sir Egan.
01:01We will wait for the details of the case filed by our police regarding kidnapping and robbery.
01:10We are saying that the police action last Saturday was a response to the request of the House of Representatives
01:18to transfer Aseka Laika from the House of Representatives Detention Facility to the Women's Correctional.
01:28But this was changed when Aseka Laika's condition was not good and she will not be taken to Memorial Hospital.
01:37On that aspect, what they're saying about the kidnapping is that we have not seen a kidnapping there,
01:45if they're referring to that incident.
01:47According to the rules of the PNP, is there anything wrong with the procedure of our police?
01:52It was mentioned that they're just following the order of the Camera.
01:56In the part of the PNP, Sir Egan, as of now, we have not seen any violation by our police.
02:05As I said earlier, this action of our police is a response to the written request of the House of Representatives
02:13to help their Legislative Security Bureau to implement a valid order issued by the House of Representatives.
02:23On that aspect, we are there to fight and respond to the request of the House of Representatives.
02:32The 24 police officers who will be replaced by the security detail of VP Sara.
02:39VP Sara refused and she is accepting this.
02:44We cannot do anything about that Sir Egan.
02:47That was requested by our vice president.
02:49If you can remember, we gave 31 PNP personnel to complement the PPSPG last July.
02:59It was also refused and underutilized.
03:02But on the part of the PNP, we sent 25 PNP personnel as a response to the request of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
03:12to give us a chance to complement the personnel of the PPSPG.
03:17Does the PNP know that our vice president is a threat to their lives?
03:23He said that if the PNP doesn't know, you're incompetent.
03:28We clarified that Sir Egan.
03:31First of all, our vice president is mentioning something with due respect to her.
03:36She is saying that there are documented threats.
03:39What we are saying is, if this is a document, we are assuming as part of security protocol,
03:46it was sent to the Vice Presidential Security Protection Group, which is under the Presidential Security Group.
03:54As a matter of security protocol, all threats to our president and vice president are handled by the Presidential Security Command.
04:04This command will give orders to security forces to help them validate the existing and credible threats.
04:14That is our stance.
04:16But we accept that because he's the vice president, the threats are inherent to him.
04:23But regarding the documented threats, that's what we are saying that the PNP has no information.
04:30But just the same, the PNP is ready to provide any assistance if requested with respect to validation of said threats.
04:39Thank you very much PNP spokesperson, Police Brigadier General Jean Pajardo. Take care.
04:44Thank you sir. Good morning.
