00:00The National Bureau of Investigation assured that they will be fair in the investigation against Vice President Sara Duterte and President Dongbong Marcos,
00:10First Lady Lisa Araneta Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:14But the vice president did not go to the NBI because he did not expect a fair investigation.
00:21We have the first news, June Veneration.
00:25Vice President Sara Duterte did not show up again in the investigation of the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:32Only the legal counsel of the NBI came.
00:34She will come to the NBI. That's all. That's all for me.
00:37In the future, is it possible for her to come?
00:39I cannot say. I cannot say that.
00:42The second president chose to face the media.
00:45He did not expect a fair investigation.
00:50If you saw the message of the president,
00:59he said these are the criminal acts that I will not let pass.
01:04We can see the pronouncements of the president.
01:12There is bias there.
01:15So even if they say that there is an investigation,
01:20they already decided to file cases.
01:24Before this, the NBI assured that their investigation will be impartial.
01:29And they still did not close the door on Vice.
01:33Our consensus remains that the investigation will be fair.
01:39We have nothing to do with it.
01:41The investigation will be impartial.
01:44The NBI is the institution that our people can trust.
01:49The investigation was based on the statements of Vice President Duterte
01:53against the president, first lady and house speaker.
01:57Despite this, the vice president said...
01:59Ma'am do you regret saying or making such a threat to the president and the first lady and the speaker?
02:07No ma'am.
02:08No ma'am. It's good that they know that if I die, I will not die in vain.
02:15Duterte was accused of having a threat to his life and this is documented.
02:20But he did not want to give details to law enforcement agencies because he has no trust.
02:26He wrote to AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Bronner Jr.
02:30that if a member of the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group was pulled out,
02:36he will not be accepted as a replacement.
02:38We are exploring private security services.
02:41There are professional security services.
02:44So that's not considered as a private army.
02:48The second president has accepted whatever will happen.
02:52He will also face the cases that will be filed in the court.
02:55Even if he reaches the point where he will be jailed.
02:58I do not plan to leave the country or I do not plan to hide if there will be a warrant of arrest.
03:04Mainly because my children are here.
03:07The vice president is also ready to face impeachment complaints against him regarding the use of confidential funds.
03:14Even though Duterte was accused of having nothing to explain,
03:17he had nothing to do with the preparation of the acknowledgement receipts that came out of the camera.
03:23He questioned if there are real people who received money from confidential funds.
03:29It is wrong to say that I am evasive.
03:31I am definitely not answering questions about the use of the funds, about confidential funds,
03:37because it pertains to national security and the lives of the people involved in intelligence operations.
03:45It is clear that the use of confidential funds is related to the 2028 elections.
03:52If you're in aid of legislation and you want to legislate about confidential funds,
03:57you do not target one office.
04:00Why not call the office of the president who has billions and billions of confidential funds?
04:05Two bills were filed in the camera.
04:08House Bills 11192 and 11193.
04:13This is far from having a clearer regulation on the use of confidential and intelligence funds
04:18and punishment for misuse.
04:21Even the enforcement of special disbursing officers who hold confidential funds.
04:27Originally, if you are an SDO,
04:31as long as you are appointed by the head of agency, you can be an SDO.
04:38In our new law that was passed, there are qualifications that were added.
04:46Number one, you need to be a permanent official or employee of the agency.
04:58You need to have a salary grade 24.
