00:00The House Quad Committee ordered a hearing on November 21.
00:06But according to the Joint Panel, they are not afraid of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
00:12but the witnesses are still trying to fix the situation, so the hearing was canceled.
00:17That's the story of Lala Esmora.
00:20There's nothing to be afraid of here.
00:23Let me make it clear.
00:25We have a hearing on the 21st.
00:27Let's go there.
00:30After the 21st, let us know when you can come.
00:33Because we will schedule another Quadcom hearing on the date convenient for you,
00:38on the date you want, so we can arrange our invitation properly.
00:44The leaders of the House Quad Committee are not afraid of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:52In fact, they have been asking for a long time to have a hearing.
00:57According to Quadcom lead chair Robert Ace Barbers,
01:00before spreading on social media that Duterte is expected to attend the hearing tomorrow,
01:05their hearing was already canceled and it was immediately held in the former president's camp.
01:12Some commented that Quadcom seemed to be afraid.
01:16I think it was on purpose.
01:19Because this was already discussed on Sunday.
01:24That's their style, right?
01:29To make it appear that we are backing this kind of invitation.
01:35Whereas we've been inviting him for so many hearings already.
01:39During the joint panel on November 21, their next hearing was rescheduled.
01:44And if former President Duterte really wants to attend,
01:47he can come here even if they still have to pay for his massage and accommodation.
01:53We're willing to chip in if it's really necessary.
01:57If the real president wants to come, we will not force him.
02:04According to former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo,
02:08even if the Quadcom hearing is already canceled,
02:10Duterte will still attend the joint panel on November 21.
02:16The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
02:21returned to the son of the former president, Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:26At a press conference, VP Sara, who is politically motivated,
02:31was invited to attend the House Panel hearings.
02:34Currently, the Good Government Committee is listening to the issue
02:38of the misuse of funds in the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education.
02:43But some OVP officials are not facing this issue.
02:47This is not about politics. This is about accountability and transparency.
02:52If there are really no wrongdoings, why didn't they come
02:58and why didn't they answer the issue?
