00:00On the 20th of October, I filed.
00:04When it came to late October, after the deadline of filing, Senator Aimee Marcos called me.
00:13She asked me,
00:15Can you run for Vice President?
00:19I told her,
00:21You know, I've never heard anyone say that I ran for Vice President.
00:30I told her,
00:32Why are you requesting that I run for Vice President?
00:41And,
00:47I'm happy that she was honest enough to say,
00:50Because Lenny and I will lose if you don't run for Vice President.
00:58It was very straightforward.
01:02It was all about winning, she told me.
01:07So I told her,
01:10You know, this is a historical event.
01:14Call Bato De La Rosa.
01:21Ask him to slide down to VP.
01:25So he can run for President.
01:28And then her answer was,
01:31And then I told her,
01:33Ask PRD to run as your Vice President.
01:40And then she said,
01:41Well, that's a closed book already because BG is running.
01:46So ask BG to run as your Vice President.
01:55And then she said,
01:56I don't think we can beat Lenny.
02:06And then I said,
02:08Ask Manny Pacquiao to slide down. He's already running for President.
02:13And she said,
02:14We already did.
02:16And Manny Pacquiao told us that God asked me to run for President.
02:23So how can you argue with God?
02:28That's true.
02:29I don't think she will deny that.
02:32Senator Almi Marcos is very straightforward.
02:36He's hot now.
02:43So I said,
02:47It's never been talked about.
02:51I need to talk to my family.
02:55And I need to see if I will win for Vice President.
03:01Because I've never seen my numbers as Vice President.
03:04And then she said,
03:05Okay, let's talk about it.
03:09And then early November,
03:13I went to Cebu for an event.
03:19And they were also there.
03:22I don't know why they were there.
03:25When I say they,
03:26I mean BBM and Senator Almi.
03:32And they requested to talk as well.
03:43So I said,
03:44Okay, let's talk.
03:48We met at Martin Romualdez's house.
03:53Because Martin Romualdez wanted to make a scene.
03:56He was throwing a party for my birthday.
04:01And then when I sat there,
04:03I think you see the pictures.
04:06I sat on the couch next to BBM.
04:09I told him,
04:10Don't believe them.
04:12Don't believe the people who tell you that I will run for President.
04:17I told him that.
04:19He said,
04:20Yes, yes, I know.
04:21You also told me that when we went there during my birthday.
04:35VP, since you have no intention to run for Vice President from the very beginning,
04:40can we say that you were forced to run?
04:43And without the call of Senator Almi,
04:45can you say that you were just used to win President Bongbong Marcos as President?
04:52Forced? No.
04:56My decision-making on running as Vice President was very rational.
05:04I said that earlier.
05:05I also did that.
05:07I listed the positive,
05:08I listed the negative.
05:09The positive was there.
05:11I listed the positive,
05:12I told my family.
05:14Tell me the negatives.
05:16So,
05:20What was the other question?
05:22Was I used?
05:23Yes.
05:26That was clear.
05:27I asked,
05:28Why me?
05:30And then she said,
05:32Lenny and I will lose if you don't bring the bishops.
05:38That's why I gave options.
05:40Bisaya,
05:42Dolorosa,
05:43Bongo,
05:44Manipakyaw.
05:47And then she said,
05:49I can't do it.
05:51Except for Manipakyaw.
05:54He didn't say that he can't do it.
05:57He just said that he refused Senator Manipakyaw.
06:05So, of course,
06:07they used me to win them.
06:09That's obvious.
06:10Do you want to see the survey?
