00:00Aside from Mary Grace Piatos, more than 400 Confidential Funds of the Department of Education
00:07have received the record of births in the Philippine Statistics Authority.
00:11There is also a question of the name in the three receipts, but the signature and address are different.
00:17Let's hear from Jonathan Andal.
00:19The three receipts have the name of an Alice Crescencio, but the signature and address are different.
00:30These receipts were signed and stamped.
00:33The name is different, but the signature is the same.
00:35These are new receipts that are being questioned by congressmen.
00:39This is a bit crazy.
00:40The signatories of these ARs are not coordinated.
00:47And because of this, Mr. Chair, I believe that this receipt was again merely fabricated.
00:52Based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:55there is no record of births of more than 400 names received by the Confidential Funds
01:01from the Department of Education under Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:05including Alice Crescencio and Kokoy Villamin, whose signatures are different from the receipts.
01:11The PSA also confirmed for the first time that they do not have a birth record.
01:14This is Mary Grace Piatos.
01:16Out of 677 individuals, 405 do not have a birth certificate,
01:24or no records in the birth certificate, or we can say non-existent.
01:30Some names have records in the PSA, but there are many names.
01:34612.5 million pesos of Confidential Funds are being sought by lawmakers where they were spent.
01:41As of now, after 8 hearings, the committee has already completed its investigation
01:46on the Confidential Funds of VP Sara.
01:48This is to pass the impeachment first,
01:51versus saying that Confidential Funds are also being used.
01:55But Congresswoman Franz Castro questioned the non-calling
01:59of the two military colonels who were given 100 million pesos of Confidential Funds by Vice President Duterte.
02:07Why did we stop there?
02:09We did not call the two security officers who were involved, or those who accepted.
02:13The AFP also said that they are also having an internal investigation.
02:19I also do not believe that there will be a partial investigation towards that,
02:25because we know that they are the ones who are involved.
02:28We are still trying to get hold of the AFP.
02:31The vice president said that the staff of the two officials will be able to rest in peace
02:35after the hearing of the committee of the camera.
02:38The vice president also said that the two impeachment complaints against him were welcomed.
02:42The impeachment case is also okay because I am the only one who is investigating that.
02:50I am the only one who is being attacked by the impeachment case.
02:54My colleagues in the Office of the Vice President and my former colleagues in the Department of Education
03:00were not included in the investigation.
03:01The final verdict will be given on what they are accusing me of.
03:09Along with the grounds of the impeachment complaints,
03:12the use of the Confidential Funds of the Office of the Vice President and the DepEd was also questioned.
03:17As well as the statements of the Vice President against President Marcos,
03:20First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
03:24House Secretary General Velasco said in a message that
03:27it is possible that a religious group will file the third impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte.
03:33But some congressmen are worried that the time for impeachment may be over.
03:38Aside from Christmas break, the campaign for the election 2025 is about to start.
03:43I agree with some of my colleagues' position that the time will be short.
03:48Remember, the practicality of the time is already December.
03:52My concern is the time, if possible, because of the time.
03:59We have to face reality.
04:02By next year, come February, it will be a national campaign.
04:08By March, local campaign.
04:11The Secretary General of the Camera is still holding the two impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Duterte.
04:16The people's bloc is calling for the endorsement of signatures for the second impeachment complaint
04:22to give an opportunity for impeachment.
04:25Vice President Duterte is also facing the National Bureau of Investigation on December 11
04:29after not being able to attend on November 29.
04:32But Vice President Sara said that he still cannot go to the new schedule.
04:37From what I understand from the explanation of my lawyers in the investigation of the NBI,
04:43he cannot go.
04:45He can only submit a letter or affidavit.
04:49Second, we have Thanksgiving activities on December 11.
04:55And third, after our Thanksgiving activities,
04:58I will go home to Davao City to visit my uncle.
