00:00 Jeff Tombado refuted the allegation that there is trust in the LTFRB.
00:05 It is still followed by the incitement of some transport groups that he and not LTFRB Chair Teofilo Guadis are the ones who are against them.
00:14 That is the joint force that is being targeted by Nadano Tincunco and Macky Pulido.
00:19 Jeff Tombado's bold statement last Monday, former Executive Assistant of LTFRB Chair Teofilo Guadis,
00:29 about the trust in the agency,
00:32 5 million pesos was given if the organization is setting up a tranquilizer or route.
00:37 The collection reached the officials of DOTR and Malacanang.
00:41 Because of these allegations, Malacanang quickly suspended Guadis.
00:46 But today, the affidavit of recantation was released by Tombado.
00:50 His sworn statement is a public apology by Guadis and DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista,
00:55 and also in the office of the President.
00:57 He has no intention to harm anyone.
01:00 But whatever he said in the press conference, he did not mean it.
01:04 This is the result of impulse, irrational thinking, and poor decision making.
01:08 He was also just mocked by some individuals who were affected by his judgment.
01:13 Tombado claimed that the issue that there are problems in the agency that needs to be investigated and the ones who have a grudge should be answered.
01:21 For some transport groups, Tombado and not Guadis are the ones who are against them.
01:26 In their press conference, Ben Herm Menor of the transport group SV3 said that he paid more than P300,000 to Tombado
01:35 to fix their franchise that has been suspended for several months.
01:39 This is three gives and it reached outside the office of Guadis in LTFRB.
01:44 It's like he just accepted money. It's like that. That's what happened.
01:49 Orlando Marquez said that the group LTOP is the one who is being mocked.
01:54 After that, Guadis had a meeting with Menor and the franchise was fixed.
01:59 That day, he told me that he will remove it.
02:03 The attorney told me to just pay back my money because I will be more pitiful if I don't have money.
02:09 Even Zal de Pingay of the group Stop and Go, was stopped by Tombado.
02:14 He said that it's for the chairman's schedule. I know that it's for him. So just be quiet.
02:20 Survivor message. Tombado said that he will file a libel case against those who accused him.
02:26 In a media interview with him after the groundbreaking of the relocation site of the South Long Rail Project,
02:31 Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said that they are explaining Guadis to the litigation.
02:38 We gave him three days since Monday. We will have to make a decision whether to terminate him or file a case against him.
02:47 When would you be making that decision?
02:49 Within the week.
02:50 Bautista has not talked to Guadis yet.
02:53 Bautista first denied the charges of libel to him.
02:57 Bautista said earlier that Tombado talked to him earlier this morning and told him that he did not transfer the money to the libel litigation.
03:06 That's what he told me earlier this morning. And he said that Mar Balbuena is just doing his job.
03:13 Sir, what time did you come here this morning?
03:17 Before I came here to San Pablo.
03:19 Jeff Tombado told you this?
03:22 Yes.
03:23 What did he say?
03:24 He said that he did not say that I am involved in this libel case.
03:29 He also did not say that he is involved with the Malacanang and other congressmen in this libel case.
03:35 Mar Balbuena of the Manibela group was with Tombado in Prescon last Monday.
03:41 Balbuena said that he will stand as a co-complainant in the case that he will file.
03:47 Bautista's lawyers are now studying the case of Tombado.
03:51 He also said that he will not let Balbuena pass.
03:54 I told him that I might file a case against him because his accusation is too severe.
04:02 There is no evidence.
04:05 Balbuena will be charged with complaint of PNP-CIDG for the threats, harassment and threats of Bautista.
04:13 Why didn't they talk to the whistleblower?
04:16 And why are we the ones he's trying to incite?
