00:00Some congressmen released money from their own pockets

00:05to help the country.

00:09But that money came from government aid programs.

00:14And House Speaker Martin Romualdez gave it to those who joined him.

00:19According to Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magallo,

00:22Maris Umali is guilty.

00:26The allegation of Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magallo

00:30is that House Speaker Martin Romualdez gave money

00:34to congressmen who joined him.

00:37The money came from different government aid programs

00:41as a controversial aid for the Kaposangkita Program.

00:46They saw it as reliable sources that were included in the Speaker's walk.

00:52That's about 21 million.

00:54If you have 4 sortities, 21 x 4, that's 84 million.

00:59How many of those are included?

01:02When other congressmen found out about it, they all joined.

01:06This money was released by congressmen who received it

01:10from their own pockets when they were already in need.

01:14How can they disburse this fund so easily?

01:18How can they let people know that this money came from us?

01:23And they ask, does this money belong to someone else?

01:27Does this money belong to someone else?

01:30It's sad to think about it.

01:32We tried to get a statement from Speaker Romualdez

01:35but he didn't give anything related to his job.

01:38According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development,

01:41it's impossible for congressmen to share this aid.

01:44It's not possible.

01:46We are the ones who are disbursing funds for AICs and ACAPs.

01:50This is done through our social workers,

01:53through all of our workers in the field,

01:55in satellite offices, and also here in the central office.

01:59As for the DOH and the DOLE, I believe it's the same.

02:03Because these funds are through the department.

02:07So the funds are with us and with the respective departments.

02:12But they admitted that they are alarmed

02:14if the name of the program is used for politics.

02:17So we insulate our programs, as we have mentioned time and again, from politics.

02:22So we don't listen to politicians.

02:26Congressman Joey Salceda doesn't know anything about what Magalong is saying.

02:31I don't know. I don't know because I haven't joined yet.

02:36I told you.

02:38I told you.

02:39I'm on my own.

02:40I'm there.

02:41But what I heard from the speaker,

02:44but not from me.

02:46The rice, we just got it from Christine.

02:49Typhoon Christine.

02:50The timing, the speaker is there.

02:53The House Appropriations Committee Chair and I,

02:56Bicol Partylist Representative Zaldy Koh,

02:58confirmed that ACAP is clean and has no corruption.

03:01In an interview, Koh stated that ACAP is not a pork barrel

03:05because the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD,

03:08is the one holding the funds and addressing the beneficiaries.

03:12For GMI Integrated News, Maryse Umali for Tutok, 24 Hours.
