00:00Even when asked by the President, he did not give a reason for the Vice President to leave the Cabinet.
00:08The President also commented on the UNITEAM and the run of the Dutertes in the Senate and the acquittal of former Senator Laila de Lima.
00:18J.P. Soriano commented.
00:23She didn't give any reasons.
00:25Vice President Sara Duterte did not give any details when she received the resignation letter.
00:31According to President Bongbong Marcos, she should have moved on, that's why she will be announced as the new Education Secretary this week.
00:56So I did not force the issue.
00:59Because he ran as a candidate in 2022, the President was asked if UNITEAM is still intact.
01:06As the parties involved, UNITEAM is still the same. It hasn't changed.
01:11He is referring to the parties in the alliance, including his federal party and the strong CMD party of BICE in the 2022 election until 2023.
01:23According to the President, the parties of former President Rodrigo Duterte are not allies.
01:30The PDP was never a part of the UNITEAM.
01:35PDP was never a part of UNITEAM even during the election.
01:40So it does not change anything for the UNITEAM.
01:45Even so, they were allies during the meeting of the new regional party of the Vice President.
01:50We are waiting for the reaction of those mentioned by the President in this report.
01:55The President said in the election season, we will find out.
01:59It depends on the positioning of Inday Sara when the election comes.
02:06Is she in the administration or is she in the opposition?
02:11That will be the only major determinant.
02:15Even so, according to BICE, there is a plan to elect a senator in 2025 by the former President
02:22and Davao City Mayor Baste and Congressman Paulo Duterte in October.
02:27We will find out.
02:30It's a free country. They're allowed to do whatever it is they want.
02:34I really have no reaction to it.
02:42Besides, it's still early.
02:46The only real situation will become clear in October, in the filing.
02:50Then we will see if it will really run.
02:53The Liberal Party insisted that they are the opposition.
02:57They also have no plan to form an alliance with the administration, according to Senator Laila Danima,
03:04even though she is a member of this administration.
03:08The President said that the senator was dismissed and proved innocent.
03:13Our judiciary is working properly.
03:16All our investigative services are working properly.
03:22And former Senator L. Dalima has been acquitted.
03:28I don't know what further comment can there be.
03:32She went to trial and she was acquitted.
03:38She could be brought to the International Criminal Court
03:42where she is investigating the murderers of Duterte Drug War in extrajudicial,
03:49but she insisted that the position of the government will not change
03:54that the ICC has no jurisdiction and is ready to help Dalima.
04:00That's between her and the ICC.
04:02We still stay with our position that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the Philippines.
04:12For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.
04:16Tune in 24 hours.
