NewsTranscript
00:00At the time of the impeachment, President Bongbong Marcos said that when asked about his leaked text message that he will not file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:11Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:17A leaked text message from President Bongbong Marcos
00:21It says here that if everything is leaked, Vice President Sara Duterte is not important.
00:28That's why he said not to file an impeachment complaint because it will affect the true work of the governance.
00:35To improve the lives of Filipinos.
00:37When the President confirmed, the message is true.
00:41Well, it was actually private communication but it was leaked, yes.
00:45Because that's really my opinion.
00:47This is not important.
00:49This does not make any difference to even one single Filipino life.
00:55So why waste time on this?
00:57According to the President, it is only appropriate during the time of the government to file an impeachment complaint.
01:03What will happen if somebody files an impeachment?
01:07It will tie down the House. It will tie down the Senate.
01:10It will just take up all the time and for what? For nothing.
01:14For nothing.
01:15None of this will help improve a single Filipino life.
01:19As far as I'm concerned, it's a storm in a teacup.
01:23But Macabayan Black, according to the President's statement, will show weak leadership.
01:29At the same time, Malacanang should not dictate to the Congress how it will do its mandate
01:35to answer the trusted officials of the government.
01:38According to Macabayan Black, they are already preparing for the impeachment
01:42because they need to ask for the answer of the Vice President on the issue of confidential funds and other anomalies.
01:48But under the leadership of Senior Deputy Speakers Aurelio Gonzalez and J.J. Suarez
01:53and House Majority Leader Manix Dalipe, the impeachment proceedings are not on the agenda of the House.
01:59Now, the National Bureau of Investigation is expecting
02:03Vice President Duterte to face their arrest in Pasay City
02:08according to his statements against the President, First Lady, and House Speaker.
02:13But it's a no-show.
02:15His lawyer arrived with a bitter letter.
02:18It contains an explanation as to why the second President and several requests to the NBI were not delivered.
02:25She will be attending to office matters requiring her urgent attention
02:31as a consequence of the ongoing House of Representative Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability inquiry
02:38into the office of the Vice President.
02:40She has a request, a clear copy of the complaint filed against her,
02:44the documents initiated to investigation,
02:47and the possible questions that we will ask her.
02:52When we give a possible question, we talk to our ears.
02:58First, Vice President Duterte said that she will not attend the NBI
03:02because of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability inquiry.
03:07But the committee canceled the inquiry in order to give way to the NBI.
03:12The cancellation of the House inquiry yesterday came in late.
03:18It was received late. So she is not ready for the NBI investigation.
03:25The NBI ordered the face-to-face meeting of VP Duterte on December 11.
03:30There are also other subpoenas.
03:33Some of her accomplices were present at the Zoom press conference.
03:36The NBI gave a D.A. that their investigation will be fair.
03:40But if the vice president will not arrive...
03:43The request for extension was not delivered on December 11 for valid reasons.
03:52We will consider that as a waiver on her part and then we will proceed with our final report.
03:58VP Duterte's non-face-to-face meeting with the NBI was dismissed by the vice chairman of the House Committee.
04:03It is impossible that the vice president did not know about the cancellation that happened yesterday.
04:09This is another excuse.
04:11This is where we see that if you are powerful and rich, you don't need to face the NBI.
04:19This is also what House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega said.
04:23The vice president did not show leadership but arrogance.
04:28We are still trying to get the panic of the NBI and VP Duterte about this.
04:33But in a video message today,
04:35the vice president thanked the people of the OVP who were affected by the Anayay crisis for their response.
04:44Their support will help the OVP to focus on other activities such as thanksgiving and planning for 2025.
04:54We assure the Filipino people that even in times of crisis and without resources,
05:01we shall stand tall, strong and resilient in our service to the Filipino people.
05:08We will not break.
05:10In the middle of a dispute between the two highest officials of the government,
05:14VP Duterte said that their relationship has reached the point of no return.
05:20For the president...
05:22When have you reached the point of no return?
05:25Never say never.
