00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years on air, 24 hours.
00:11Good evening Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:15Vice President Sara Duterte is facing, but not yet,
00:19a camera attack on the budget spending of her office.
00:24She is determined to prepare a camera for an impeachment case.
00:29When asked by the media about her relationship with the President,
00:33she did not hesitate to say that they are friends.
00:35And she answered that if there will be another tandem with Marcos,
00:38never again.
00:40Ian Cruz was shocked.
00:45Vice President Sara Duterte is facing the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
00:51regarding the budget of the Office of the Vice President.
00:54Manila Rep. Rolando Valeriano, who pointed out the misuse of the OVP fund,
00:59agreed with the privileged speech.
01:02At the beginning of the hearing,
01:04Vice President Duterte became hot-tempered.
01:08What's in your rules, only witnesses are voting.
01:12You don't have rules for resource persons.
01:25Ma'am, that's just a term.
01:31But you are also considered as a resource person.
01:35Yes sir.
01:36You are considered as a resource person.
01:38You are also a witness and a resource person.
01:40Former President and current Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
01:45pointed out that based on a previous decision of the Supreme Court,
01:49a witness and a resource person cannot be considered as the same.
01:54We cannot just trivialize.
01:57You're just a witness. You're a witness.
02:00A witness and a resource person are the same.
02:02They are not the same.
02:03The Supreme Court says they are not the same.
02:06And somebody who appears to be the accused has a different tier of protection from a witness.
02:12The point of the Honorable Arroyo is well taken.
02:16But we will proceed to the oath-taking.
02:19If the Vice President refuses to take her oath, we will respect that.
02:27Please raise your right hand.
02:29Do you solemnly swear that...
02:31In the end, the accused are the resource persons from the Department of Budget and Management
02:37and the Commission on Audit and the Vice President who remained seated.
02:41In his statement, the Vice President stated that they are not doing anything wrong.
02:45There is no fraudulent fund.
02:47And if there are any audit findings, they are ready to answer it in court.
02:51And if there is another case, they will face it in court.
02:55The reason is political. That's why she is the contrarian of the investigation.
02:59What we are witnessing now is no ordinary legislative inquiry.
03:05This exercise is a well-funded and coordinated political attack.
03:11This much is evident
03:14from the very words of the privileged speech that prompted this inquiry.
03:21A speech that's simply meant to say,
03:25Do not vote for Sara on 2028.
03:29It is clear to me that this inquiry is not about misused funds,
03:35accountability, or governance.
03:37Instead, it is solely aimed at discrediting my name and my office
03:43to prevent future political contests.
03:46What you are trying to do is make a case for impeachment.
03:53I am not a candidate for the upcoming election.
04:00It is worth noting that in the last hearing of the House Appropriations Panel,
04:03Vice President Duterte was informed
04:05by the members of the House of Representatives about the spending of confidential funds of the OVP in 2022.
04:12The Appropriations Committee also recommended
04:14that the OVP budget for 2025 should be more than a million pesos.
04:20You have the complete freedom to do whatever you wish with the OVP budget.
04:28If you feel that all the documentary submissions are not enough,
04:33then by all means, don't give a budget.
04:37I will not allow myself to be subjected to an inquiry based on an empty privilege speech
04:44just so you can attack me and do indirectly what you failed to do directly during the budget hearings.
04:54Because she was not asked, the members of the House of Representatives did not ask VP Sara.
04:59But before noon, Vice President Duterte approached Ms. Chua.
05:03When she returned to her seat, Vice President Duterte spoke again to make an excuse for the hearing.
05:08May I request to leave the inquiry?
05:12Ma'am, you may leave considering that you did not vote.
05:19We know that you do a lot of things.
05:22The Vice President is excused.
05:28In the ambush interview, Vice President Duterte said
05:31that the bodies are already preparing for the impeachment against her.
05:36It is very obvious what they are doing.
05:40They are practicing what they will do.
05:44We are just doing our job.
05:46With respect to impeachment, I don't know anything about it.
05:50So, I don't know.
05:53I have no idea about impeachment.
05:55We are just doing our job.
05:57Despite being excused, Vice President Duterte responded to the statement of Speaker Martin Romualdez
06:02that they will not consent to hypocrisy and evasion of government agencies regarding the budget.
06:09It is obvious because you are asking me about his speech.
06:15I am saying that what they are doing inside is what he described in his speech.
06:27As of now, Vice President Bongbong Marcos has not spoken to them yet.
06:32They last spoke to him when he held a secret meeting of the Department of Education.
06:37No, we did not speak to him.
06:42We are not friends.
06:44We just met because we became running mates.
06:48Before we became running mates, we did not speak to each other.
06:55My friend is Senator Amy Marcos.
06:58She asked if she will have a chance to be a teammate with the Marcos.
07:03Never again.
07:05When Vice President Duterte left the hearing,
07:07How many agencies today?
07:09With all due respect to the order.
07:12Rep. Rodante Marcoleta and Manila Rep. Benny Avante became hot-headed.
07:18Marcoleta was one of those who defended Duterte in the hearing.
07:21When the Vice President faced a budget hearing,
07:24he told the Congress what to do with their proposed budget.
07:29Despite Marcoleta's insistence, the Notice of Disallowance of the OVP is contestable
07:34and can be answered within six months.
07:37Are you rebuking this committee?
07:40Why am I supposed to rebuke the committee?
07:42You have been saying things for a while.
07:44What?
07:46You have been rebuking this committee.
07:48You are saying that.
07:50We are not blaming the Vice President on this.
07:52Honorable Marcoleta, we are not blaming the Vice President on that.
07:57One minute suspension.
07:59Move to suspend.
08:01If the Committee on Good Government is called again,
08:04the Vice President has not yet checked if he can attend the hearing again.
08:08It all depends on what the Committee will do.
08:12For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Horas.
08:16A dam in Occidental, Mindoro was destroyed
08:20due to the bad weather of the Hurricane Genera Tabaga.
08:24The hurricane has left and will follow the Hurricane Helen tonight.
08:29And from the town of Sablayan, live,
08:32Bam Alegre.
08:34Bam!
08:38Ricky, the weather is getting worse.
08:40There was no Hurricane Ferdie, Henera,
08:42and now there is a Hurricane Helen.
08:44This is the latest threat to their infrastructure
08:48and to the agriculture of Sablayan Occidental, Mindoro.
08:52We came back here because of what happened earlier.
08:55Monday morning.
08:56The water level is high in Amnay River
08:58in Barangay Claudio Salgado in Sablayan Occidental, Mindoro.
09:01This is the result of the bad weather
09:03from the recent Hurricane Henera and Tabagat.
09:06The cracks in the protection dike
09:08were captured in a barangay's cellphone video.
09:10After a few moments,
09:12some parts of it were destroyed.
09:14Now, the Hurricane Helen is here in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
09:17The local government is double-timing the clearing operations.
09:20These concrete blocks behind me are getting bigger.
09:23It's like no enemy can be pushed by the water.
09:26This is how strong the force of the river is
09:29when the bad weather is here.
09:31It's something that gives fear to the people here.
09:34According to the resident, Roderick Sanchez,
09:36who risked the lives of his three children
09:38while there was a Hurricane Helen,
09:40he left his family
09:41after seeing the destruction of the seawall
09:43near their house.
09:44We were sad because we saw that it happened again.
09:48So, we went back to the evacuation center.
09:52We went there again.
09:54The problem is the continuous heavy rain
09:56and the lack of water in some parts of the seawall.
09:59This affects the livelihood of many farmers,
10:01like Jordan Akaak,
10:03who just borrowed the dike.
10:05His rice fields were flooded.
10:06The plantation was no longer profitable.
10:08It was destroyed by the flood.
10:10It was rotting.
10:11The rice was rotting.
10:13And of course,
10:14when it was harvested,
10:16even if it got hot,
10:17there was nothing left to do
10:19because it was destroyed.
10:21It was flooded.
10:23The main effect of this
10:25is on the sector of our farmers
10:28because we are just waiting for the heat
10:32and many of us are already fasting.
10:35But because of this flood,
10:40our rice fields were destroyed.
10:44Occidental Mindoro is with us
10:45in places that have a gale warning
10:47because of the flood
10:48that could cause a Hurricane Helen.
10:50Small sea vehicles are being told
10:52not to sail yet.
10:54While there is still no storm signal of Hurricane Helen,
10:56the trips of Roro continue
10:58in Port of Abra de Ilog.
11:05According to the Provincial Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office
11:08of Occidental Mindoro,
11:1010 to 11 barangays were affected
11:12by the rain and flood
11:14because of the bad weather.
11:16And in San Jose,
11:18three barangays were affected.
11:20Live from here in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro
11:22for GMA Integrated News,
11:24Bam Alegre,
11:2524 Hours.
11:27Thank you very much, Bam Alegre.
11:44Emil,
11:45just today,
11:46the weather got better here.
11:48Well, I'm in the northern part of Palawan,
11:50in Coron Island.
11:51And today,
11:52the weather got better.
11:55But,
11:56in the past days and nights,
11:58there was not even a drop of rain
12:01brought by the hurricane.
12:02That's why in different parts of Palawan,
12:04there were signs of
12:06bad effects of the hurricane.
12:11They were hit by a boat.
12:13We were rescued.
12:14Because of the strong wind
12:16and waves in the sea
12:17that surrounded Balabac, Palawan.
12:23The two passengers of a boat
12:25were rescued
12:27after the boat was hit by a boat.
12:29The boat came from selling seaweeds
12:32when the incident happened.
12:34They were in safe condition
12:36after being hit.
12:37In Rizal, Palawan,
12:39the 64-year-old grandfather
12:42and his six-year-old granddaughter
12:44were hit by the hurricane
12:45after a coconut tree fell on their house.
12:48Three members of their family
12:50were in critical condition
12:51because of the incident.
12:53Coast Guard continued
12:54their cleaning operations
12:56on the fallen trees
12:57in Puerto Princesa
12:59during the bad weather.
13:01According to DPWH-Mimaropa,
13:04some roads in Palawan and Romblon
13:07are still difficult to pass
13:08because of the fallen walls
13:10and landslides.
13:17But of course, Emil,
13:19the residents of Palawan
13:21are still worried
13:22because the hurricane Helen is still there
13:24and they are still waiting
13:26for its effects
13:27on the coast.
13:28If this is a strong coast
13:30or a weak coast.
13:31As long as the hurricane Helen
13:33does not leave,
13:34they will continue to be alert here.
13:36Live from Coron, Palawan,
13:38for GME Integrated News,
13:40Mark Salazar,
13:41for 24 Hours.
13:44Thank you very much,
13:45Mark Salazar.
13:47More than 20 people
13:49were affected
13:50by the Hurricane Ferdi
13:51and Hurricane Henner
13:53and Habagat.
13:56We already have a validation
13:59of 20 casualties.
14:02We have 11 needs to meet
14:03for validation as well.
14:05We have 14 meetings.
14:08According to the Office of Civil Defense,
14:10the regions of
14:12Mimaropa,
14:13CAR,
14:14Western and Central Visayas,
14:16Zamboanga Peninsula,
14:17Northern Mindanao,
14:19Davao Region,
14:20Sok Sargen,
14:21Karaga and Barm
14:22have been affected
14:23by more than
14:24half a million individuals.
14:27The government continues
14:28to coordinate
14:29with local governments.
14:31More than 30,000 family food packs
14:34were distributed by the DSWD.
14:39After a separate operation
14:41in Caloocan and Quezon City,
14:42the five suspects
14:43went to Rentangay.
14:45One of the arrested
14:46was asked to pay
14:48in exchange for the stolen vehicle.
14:50This is my exclusive lesson.
14:56The police blocked
14:57the black passenger van
14:59in Caloocan
15:00and quickly
15:01lowered its passengers.
15:07According to the Task Force Limbas
15:08of the PNP Highway Patrol Group,
15:10the suspects
15:11went to Rentangay
15:12and rented the van.
15:15He rented it for three days.
15:17He signed the documents
15:20on the page.
15:22He took the vehicle
15:24from us,
15:26from Angeles.
15:28After three days,
15:29he didn't feel anything.
15:31It was stressful.
15:32Every day,
15:33you're thinking
15:34where the vehicle is.
15:35The suspects posted
15:36and sold the vehicle
15:38online
15:39using the Peking Conduction sticker
15:41for only P600,000.
15:44The offer is low
15:46in the market value
15:47and it doesn't include a paper.
15:49It doesn't include
15:51a Certificate of Registration.
15:54He only sold the unit.
15:57The three vans were immediately arrested
15:59and one of them
16:01was carrying a .40-caliber pistol.
16:03This picture was also held by Limbas
16:06where you can see a man
16:08who made a transaction
16:09and took the passenger van.
16:12We are continuously trying
16:13to find the suspects
16:15who were already inquired.
16:17Meanwhile,
16:18in Novaliches, Quezon City,
16:20the Task Force Limbas
16:21was arrested
16:22in front of a man's house
16:24who was riding a motorcycle.
16:26I don't know, sir.
16:27I don't know what you're doing.
16:29Don't move.
16:30I don't know what you're doing.
16:31Don't move.
16:33Along with the arrest,
16:34another senior citizen
16:36was also involved
16:38in another case of bribery.
16:40What's special about this incident
16:43is that the vehicle
16:46to return the suspect
16:48still needs to pay
16:50the victim P100,000
16:52to return his unit.
16:54This suspect
16:56is also involved.
16:58He also has an existing warrant
17:00for violation,
17:02which is carnapping.
17:04The suspects don't want to comment.
17:06The police are worried about the public.
17:08More and more vandals
17:10are trying to sell
17:12stolen vehicles online.
17:15For GMA Integrated News,
17:17Emil Sumangil,
17:18Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
17:21The authorities are now holding
17:23the former budget official,
17:25Christopher Lau,
17:26who was accused of violating
17:28the government's formal contract
17:30during the pandemic.
17:32Nakatutok, June Veneration.
17:37Almost a week
17:38after issuing the warrant of arrest,
17:40PNP-CIDG arrested
17:42at Davao City at 11 a.m.,
17:44Atty. Lloyd Christopher Lau.
17:47Lau is the Undersecretary
17:48of Procurement Service
17:49of the Department of Budget and Management
17:51during the time of
17:52former President Rodrigo Duterte.
17:54That's why he became the center
17:55of the Senate's investigation,
17:57as well as the wrong contract
17:59of the Pharmaceutical Company
18:01during the COVID pandemic.
18:03Yesterday, people were watching his house
18:05but he didn't go home.
18:07That's why he was arrested
18:10at 11 p.m.
18:12He went under the booking procedure
18:14at the office of CIDG Region 11.
18:16But he was expected to pay
18:18P90,000,
18:20as part of the case of violation
18:21of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
18:23The case is related to
18:25the violation of some official
18:27of the government,
18:28including the former Health Secretary
18:30Francisco Duque III,
18:31who was charged with losing
18:33more than P1 billion in funds
18:35during the COVID pandemic
18:37from March to December 2020.
18:39Everyone who has a warrant of arrest
18:41must be jailed
18:43through the booking process
18:45and after being jailed,
18:48until the court's order
18:51that he should be released
18:53because of his bail.
18:56Now that Lau is under arrest,
18:58Senator Risa Ontiveros
19:00is hoping that she will admit
19:02who her big boss is
19:04who is behind the corruption
19:06of the P1 billion COVID-19 funds.
19:08For GMA Integrated News,

19:14President Bongbong Marcos
19:16is still waiting to be arrested.
19:18He is still aware of his
19:20violation of some official of the government.
19:22Akatutok is Ivan Mayrina.
19:27President Bongbong Marcos
19:29is clearly speaking
19:31of his violation of the
19:33official of the government.
19:45Before this,
19:46he personally did three tasks
19:48for the awards.
19:49The Presidential Lingkud Bayan Award,
19:51the Dangal ng Bayan Award,
19:53and Pagasa Award.
19:54The individual awardee received
19:56P200,000 in the prize
19:58and P100,000 for the
20:00members of the group awardee.
20:02There is also an automatic promotion
20:04in a higher rank.
20:05They proved that not everyone
20:07in the civil service is like
20:09what is thought to be slow,
20:11stingy, or lazy.
20:17Really belies
20:19the general image of the
20:21civil servant as being a bit of a
20:23drudge and being
20:25not terribly
20:27imaginative.
20:29But along with the praise
20:31to them, the reminder to others
20:33for the transparency and responsibility
20:35in performing their duties and
20:37to the public that they serve.
20:39Let us continue to live by our constitutional
20:41mandate that public office
20:43is a public trust.
