00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Two days after Vice President Sara Duterte's announcement against the President,
00:11the First Lady, and the House Speaker, President Bongbong Marcos took criminal action against her.
00:17According to the President, he will not overlook this.
00:20He should not ignore the truth.
00:22And the Congress should just answer the question about the use of OVP in confidential funds.
00:29Because of the threat, the Justice Department called for the mastermind of the assassination plot, the Vice President,
00:36in order to strengthen the security of the President.
00:41And from Malacanang, Ivan Mayrina is live.
00:46Ivan.
00:50Mel Emil Vicky, President Bongbong Marcos will take care of the threat posed by Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:56Meanwhile, the Justice Department said that VP Sara can be held accountable for criminal and administrative cases,
01:03and she can also be removed from her license as a lawyer.
01:07The statements we heard are very worrying.
01:11President Bongbong Marcos will take care of the threat posed by Vice President Sara Duterte this Saturday.
01:18If the plan to kill a President is that simple,
01:23how about the common citizens?
01:26Such a criminal act should not be overlooked.
01:32That is my statement.
01:35Duterte's statement was made while he was with the Camera,
01:38when his Chief of Staff, Atty. Zulaika Lopez, arrived because of contempt.
01:42He said that he avoids the questions of the Committee in the Camera
01:45about the questionable use of OVP in his confidential funds.
01:49I do not wish to be involved in such a drama
01:52if the legitimate questions of the Senate and the House of Representatives will only be answered.
01:59The truth should not be talked about.
02:02Instead of giving a straightforward answer, he is avoiding the story of cheating.
02:07The cheating that the President is talking about,
02:09probably has something to do with the questionable name of Mary Grace Piatos
02:13who signed the wrong acknowledgement receipt for the OVP fund.
02:17I was talking to someone.
02:19I told him that if I get killed,
02:22he should kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales.
02:27No joke.
02:30No joke.
02:31I made a deal, ma'am.
02:34If I get killed, I told him not to stop until I kill them.
02:41And then he said yes.
02:42Because of his tolerance,
02:44the Department of Justice called Ambice as the mastermind of an assassination plot against the President.
02:50The premeditated plot to assassinate the President
02:56as declared by the self-confessed mastermind
03:01will now face legal consequences.
03:05We will use all the resources of government,
03:08all law enforcement agents
03:11to find out the identity of this assassin
03:16and the legal consequences arising out of this criminal plot
03:21will be dealt with the full force of the law.
03:25We will give the Vice President a chance to explain.
03:28Vice President Duterte said that he will kill the President if someone kills him.
03:33DOJ said,
03:34If such an event happens, who will benefit?
03:37She is the beneficiary of the death of the President.
03:41So her words have to be taken in the proper context.
03:46The NBI will now put VP Sarat in jail for 5 days to face the authorities.
03:51DOJ said,
03:52many criminal cases can be filed against the Vice President.
03:56He can also be disciplined by Ombudsman
03:58and can be disbarred or his license can be removed as a lawyer.
04:02Very bad precedent for our country
04:06if we will not take legal action on these kinds of threats
04:10coming from a very high ranking official.
04:13We have to maintain order in a civilized society
04:17by adherence to the rule of law
04:20and we will apply the full strength and force of the law.
04:25A threat to the President is a threat to every Filipino
04:28because he is the one expected to deliver the service.
04:31And if he is impeded because of death threats,
04:34then it is a disservice to our people.
04:37When Vice President Rodrigo Duterte was in jail,
04:40he was arrested and charged by a teacher.
04:42After this, he made it public on social media
04:44that he will pay Php 50 million if anyone can be killed by President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:49But the case was dismissed due to technicality.
04:53As a target of what they consider as a serious threat to the life of the President,
04:57the Presidential Security Command ennobled their security.
05:01They are on a red alert starting this Saturday
05:04and will be on alert to monitor the President for the next few days.
05:08The President will travel to the United Arab Emirates tonight for a working visit.
05:17Aside from the President's trip to the UAE tonight,
05:20the President has not yet announced the schedule of his office for the next few days
05:24even though there is no notice to limit his public engagements
05:29amidst what they consider as a serious threat to his life.
05:33Vicky?
05:34Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina.
