00:00 Congressmen supported House Speaker Martin Romualdez for his high-profile attacks on the image of the Camera.
00:06 Meanwhile, a congressman who was the former President Rodrigo Duterte, attacked and threatened to attack the Camera.
00:14 Jonathan Andal is a witness.
00:16 The session of the Congress is just about to end, but House Speaker Martin Romualdez's attack on the image of the entire institution
00:29 of the Camera is still ongoing.
00:31 We are united in our fight against the institution.
00:33 I will stand up against anyone who threatens us so that they can only follow their own desires.
00:42 Romualdez was not named, but in the same battle, he defended the deliberation on the 2024 National Budget
00:50 where the Camera removed the confidential funds of the civil agencies,
00:54 including the responsibility of Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.
00:58 There is no personnel here, just work.
01:01 Following the attack, the Committee of the Whole convened the Camera where the Majority Floor Leader,
01:07 Presidential San Ilocos Norte Representative Sandro Marcos, stood.
01:10 In the session, Representative Edsel Lagman asked who is the critic and the one who is threatening the Camera.
01:17 What recent events transpired subverting the integrity of the House of Representatives?
01:25 It was done on a certain TV network and some words were said to malign the reputation of our institution.
01:39 Why is the name of that accuser so sacrosanct that we cannot mention it before this body?
01:46 Following that question, Senior Deputy Speaker Don Gonzales stood.
01:50 Before I will answer, I will resign now as member and officer of PDP-Laban.
01:58 The one who uttered that word is our Chairman from PDP-Laban, the former President,
02:07 former President Rodrigo Arua Duterte, the one who said that is the Chairman.
02:14 When did the former President Rodrigo Duterte call the Camera as the most corrupt institution?
02:21 I will also talk to Romualdez about the attack on the Vice President.
02:25 Duterte even demanded liquidation so that he will know that there is no limit on the use of pork battle funds.
02:33 Duterte said that Romualdez is trying to get the Congressmen to stop him because the Speaker will run away from the President.
02:40 Romualdez replied that the Camera was already audited.
02:43 The Secretary General of the Camera said that they don't have a confidential or intelligence fund.
02:48 In the end, the resolution of the Congress passed to strengthen the integrity of the Camera
02:54 and show support and unity to Romualdez.
02:57 We are still trying to get Duterte's panic.
03:00 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andan, your Saksi.
