00:00More than 400 Confidential Funds of the Department of Education
00:05have accepted the loss of a record in the Philippine Statistics Authority.
00:10Aside from Mary Grace Piatos,
00:12the names of the three recipients have been added,
00:16but the signature and address are different.
00:19Witness, Jonathan Andal.
00:25These three recipients have the same name as Alice Cresencio,
00:29but the signature and address are different.
00:32These three recipients have been added.
00:35The names are different, but the signatures are the same.
00:37These are new recipients who are being questioned by congressmen.
00:41This is a bit crazy.
00:42These signatories and the creators of these ARs are not coordinated.
00:49And because of this, Mr. Chair, I believe that this receipt was again merely fabricated.
00:54Based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:57there is no record of the birth of more than 400 names
01:00who received confidential funds from the Department of Education
01:04under Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:06including Alice Cresencio and Kokoy Villamin
01:10whose signatures are different from the receipts.
01:12The PSA also confirmed that there is no birth record for them,
01:16namely Mary Grace Piatos.
01:18Out of 677 individuals,
01:22405 do not have a birth certificate or no record in the birth certificate
01:29or we can say non-existent.
01:31Some names have a record in the PSA, but there are many names.
01:36The judges are looking for confidential funds worth P612.5 million
01:42where they were spent.
01:43As of now, after 8 hearings,
01:45the committee is finishing their investigation on the confidential funds of VP Sara.
01:50This is to pass the impeachment first
01:53versus saying that the confidential funds are also being used.
01:57But Congresswoman Franz Castro questioned the non-call
02:01to the two military colonels who were given the umano
02:05of P100 million confidential funds by Vice President Duterte.
02:09Why did we stop there?
02:11We did not call the two security officers involved or the ones who accepted.
02:15The AFP also said that they are already having an internal investigation.
02:21I also do not believe that there will be a partial investigation
02:27because we know that they are the ones involved.
02:30We are still trying to get the AFP's report.
02:33The vice president said that the staff of the two offices will be able to rest
02:37after the hearing of the committee of the camera.
02:40The vice president also welcomed the two impeachment complaints against him.
02:45The impeachment case is okay because I am the only one who is investigating it.
02:52I am the only one who is being attacked by the impeachment case.
02:56My colleagues in the office of the vice president
03:00and my former colleagues in the Department of Education are not involved.
03:03The final verdict will be given on what they are accusing me of.
03:12The grounds of the impeachment complaint include
03:15the request for the use of confidential funds of the office of the vice president and the DepEd
03:20as well as the statements of Vice President Marcos,
03:23First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
03:26House Secretary General Velasco said in a message
03:29that it is possible for a religious group to file the third impeachment complaint
03:33against Vice President Duterte.
03:36But some congressmen are worried that the time for impeachment might be over.
03:41Aside from the Christmas break, the campaign for the election of 2025 is about to start.
03:45I agree with some of my colleagues' position that the time might be short.
03:50Remember, the practicality of the time is already December.
03:54My concern is the time, if possible, because of the time, right?
04:02We have to face reality by next year, come February,
04:08we will have a national campaign, and by March, a local campaign.
04:13The Secretary General of the Camera is still holding the two impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Duterte.
04:18The Makabayang Blok called for the endorsement and approval of the signatures
04:22for the second impeachment complaint to be filed.
04:27Vice President Duterte is also facing the National Bureau of Investigation on December 11
04:31after the incident that happened on November 29.
04:34But Vice President Sara said that she will not be able to go to the new schedule.
04:39From what I understand from the explanation of my lawyers in the investigation of the NBI,
04:45she can not go. She can only submit a letter or affidavit.
04:51Second, we have Thanksgiving activities on December 11.
04:57Third, after our Thanksgiving activities, I will go home to Davao City to visit my uncle.
