00:00A new impeachment complaint against the Vice President on the 23rd was filed in the House today in the House of Representatives.
00:06According to the investigation of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,
00:10they are recommending the filing of a criminal complaint regarding the wrong spending of the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education.
00:22We have first news, Joseph Morong.
00:27Who is Mary Grace Piatos?
00:29Do you think she's a real person?
00:31There is no birth, marriage, and death certificate with that name on the record of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
00:37But a Mary Grace Piatos acknowledgment receipt was signed,
00:41which was sent to the office of the Vice President to explain how they spent the confidential funds of 2022.
00:48That's why the House Committee is looking for her on Good Government and Public Accountability.
00:53It is possible that the PSM will expand their search if they can provide additional information to the committee,
00:58such as the name, place, and date related to the parents of Piatos.
01:03The acknowledgment receipt is like a bogus.
01:06Maybe our next step is to check other names.
01:13What does this show?
01:15Officials of the Office of the Vice President, led by no other than Sara Duterte,
01:20invented the receipts to defend the wrong spending of the confidential funds.
01:32Now, there is a concrete proof that the money of the country was not used properly.
01:40The committee also investigated the NBI for the signatures of other questionable acknowledgment receipts.
01:46But what if the liquidation of the CONFIFUNDS is not a real name?
01:51We asked the COA, but the congressmen admitted that this is not clear.
01:56According to the committee that investigates the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education,
02:02they have enough information not only to restrict the use of confidential funds in a new law,
02:08but also to investigate criminal cases.
02:12This is for the complaint of bribery and graft and corruption.
02:15We are recommending the filing of charges against the staff of the DP.
02:21The staff of the Vice President and the DepEd, and even the Vice President, are not immune to the suit.
02:30The backstaff at her office is responsible for all of that.
02:36The committee did not account for the use of CONFIFUNDS in one of the mentioned articles of impeachment
02:41filed against Vice President Duterte and the committee against the life of President Bongbong Marcos,
02:47the First Lady, and the House Speaker.
02:49Even so, the President's position on the impeachment against Vice President Duterte was criticized
02:56even before the complaint was filed.
02:58The President already made a clear and unambiguous statement that he would not support an effort to impeach.
03:07It's distracting.
03:09We still have a lot to do.
03:12It's important for the country.
03:15That's how it should be.
03:17Any suggestion that it's political or instigated by our side?
03:26That is never true.
03:30Another impeachment complaint will be endorsed by Makabayan Blak.
03:34It will involve 50 entities from various organizations.
03:38We are still waiting for the statement of the office of Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:42This is the first news.
