00:00Thank you, Nuan, for a press conference this evening.
00:03Vice President Sara Duterte gave a speech.
00:06Her commitment to the law is in line with that of her Chief of Staff who is detained there.
00:12She also answered the harmony speaker, Martin Romualdez,
00:15that she is the one who is facing the committee and not her people.
00:19Live on TV, Jonathan Andal. Jonathan.
00:24Emil, Vice President Sara Duterte said earlier that she wants to be killed by House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:34Vice President Sara Duterte said in her speech that she is being sent away by the House Sergeant at Arms in Batasan Complex
00:41because they are thinking about the security of the vice president.
00:44But Vice President Sara Duterte said that she is not a security problem because she has her own security.
00:50Here is what Vice President Sara Duterte said.
00:53She said, no, no, because something might happen to you here inside.
00:56I said, sir, the only one who wants to kill me is Martin Romualdez.
01:01And I don't think he will do that here inside the House of Representatives.
01:05He will do it outside.
01:11Vice President Sara Duterte said that she will not attend the hearings in the Chamber.
01:15And she was forced to do so. Why? Here is her statement.
01:19Why? Why would I answer to a speaker implicated in a bribery case, on record, in a court case?
01:28Why would I answer to a member, until now, I don't know why this is still a member of the House of Representatives,
01:37convicted of child abuse, taking IP children, to us in Davao City, to be brought to Manila.
01:45Why would I answer to a member of the House of Representatives who owes my husband P9 million because of a case?
02:00So why would I answer to them?
02:02Why would I answer to a member of the House of Representatives,
02:06whose father, who has a screen cap, is apologizing for what his son is doing?
02:18VP Sara did not mention the names, but she said that they are members of the Committee on Good Government and Public Account,
02:24which is blaming the OVP and DepEd Fund.
02:27VP Sara also said that she has prepared cases against some members of the 19th Congress,
02:31such as questioning the constitutionality of the hearings about her.
02:36But she said that she is not yet fully committed to bring this to the Supreme Court.
02:40The plan of the Vice President, along with the Detention Center in Camara,
02:44Usec Zuleika Lopez, and the other staff of the OVP,
02:48is to have Camara arrested until after the new year.
02:52VP Sara also said to the Hamon Speaker Romualdez that she herself went against her people in Camara
03:00and against her people who are explaining about the spending of funds.
03:05Here is her statement.
03:08I do not give him my trust and confidence as congressman.
03:14I did not vote for him as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
03:19So I know him as Martin Romualdez, but I did not vote for him for congressman and speaker.
03:27So he should not tell me what I should do.
03:37Emil, on Monday is the next hearing on the confidential funds of the Vice President.
03:42But VP Sara and her lawyers have not yet discussed if she will bring it here.
03:47VP Sara thanks Congressman Joel Chua, the chairman of the Committee on Good Government and Public Account,
03:53because he allowed her to visit her chief of staff.
03:56We are trying to get the opinion of Speaker Romualdez on what VP Sara said.
04:01While earlier, VP Sara said that when she was asked to leave the Sgt. At Arms of the law,
04:07and she did not want to follow, she said that why not talk to Speaker Romualdez,
04:13who is the owner of that place, and to Congressman Polong Duterte,
04:17who is the owner of the office where she is working now.
04:20That is the latest on VP Sara's press conference.
04:23Back to you, Emil.
04:24Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
