00:12 In the continuation of the hearing of the Committee on Legislative Franchises of the House of Representatives
00:22 that is related to the franchise of Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI,
00:27 the anchor and host of SMNI, Eric Cedes, was cited and detained.
00:34 Cedes refused to answer the questions of the committee
00:37 on who is her source in the so-called 1.8 billion pesos travel funds of House Speaker Martin Ramualdez,
00:45 which she later admitted that she has not yet verified.
00:49 In the absence of competent legal advice and assistance previously
00:53 may be granted to the seeking of the record because I believe my constitutional rights.
01:00 Mr. Speaker, I'm sorry.
01:02 Point of order.
01:03 Yes.
01:04 The answer in the manifestation of Mr. Sellers is out of order.
01:10 He said that he is out of order because you are taking this house and you cannot move.
01:16 Only members of the... You asked members of this house.
01:19 Yes, I am explaining, sir.
01:21 I am not moving. Your manifestation is out of order.
01:24 I am a constitutional...
01:26 No, I am not moving. I am standing up for my right.
01:29 Mr. Chairman...
01:30 I am standing up for my right.
01:31 Remember, we might try to contact... Then so be it.
01:34 Chairman...
01:35 Your Honor, you challenge us?
01:37 Motion of the Honorable Johnny Pinutel.
01:41 Direct me now, Your Honor.
01:42 So the... the subject of violence is held by the director to enforce the decision of this committee.
01:50 Mr. Chairman, can I make a comment with the chair?
01:53 Suspended.
01:55 Session suspended.
01:57 Thank you for the standard of court.
02:00 Session suspended.
02:01 Thank you for the standard of court.
02:02 Thank you for the standard of court.
02:05 When Cedes was no longer with us, her co-host in the program, former Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy,
02:15 was questioned regarding the separate complaints and cases filed against her regarding her misrepresentation of false and misleading information.
02:26 Accused Arroyo of being a member of the CPP-NPA-NDA producing documentaries and participating in activities detrimental to government efforts.
02:39 Former Vice President Lenore Bredo claiming that she has an alliance with communists.
02:47 Do you have evidence that confirms that former Vice President Lenore Bredo has an alliance with communists?
02:58 Because you released this statement and accused her of colliding with communists.
03:04 Because if you cannot prove or you cannot present evidence, then clearly this is a testimony that indeed Lorraine Badoy and Ka Eric is spreading false information which is a violation of Section 4.
03:20 I am not giving a personal opinion.
03:22 But you are the one who is disseminating that information.
03:26 It could be the standard of the government. But you are the one who aired that accusation that Bredo has an alliance with communists. Is that not true?
03:38 Yes, Mr. Chair. That is part of my job.
03:40 In short, you used the platform of the SMNR to spread false information. Is that not true?
03:47 Mr. Chair...
03:48 Because according to you, it is not from you. So did you verify the report?
03:54 That is, Mr. Chair, that came from the National Task Force LCAP and that was our official stand.
04:00 Representative Toby Tiangco also questioned the process of spreading the SMNI which did not comply with the rules of the Constitution and violated the rules of their franchise.
04:14 Why are you not policing your ranks to ensure that the reporting of your franchise is fair and balanced?
04:22 Except my personal answer, Mr. Chair, my life when I joined the government, my short stint in government, was really accompanied by the CPP, NPA, and NDF.
04:36 He was also cited and contempted. And he was denied because of the answer of the dispute, being a producer and a shareholder.
04:45 Some congressmen said that Badoy is lying. According to Badoy, he was saddened by the decision of the committee but he will accept it.
