00:00The allegations of Vice President Sara Duterte by the House Sergeant-at-Arms
00:06are similar to the allegations made by her Chief of Staff in the detention room of the Camera
00:11which she considered an attempted homicide.
00:14Chino Gaston was the one who pointed it out.
00:19This is not just a harassment.
00:21This is really a threat to my life.
00:25They got up on you in the middle of the night?
00:34This is how the Chief of Staff of Vice President Sara Duterte portrayed the visit of the Cameras
00:41in her detention room this evening.
00:44Atty. Zuleika Lopez will be transferred to the Women's Correctional Facility in Mandaluyong.
00:50They bring 9-10 people to serve you in the middle of the night?
00:55They just badger and go to your room and then demand you to go with them?
00:59Her light is already closed.
01:01Like this, dark.
01:02And then they did that, like that on your door.
01:06And then this entered.
01:10But House Sergeant-at-Arms Retired Police Major General Napoleon Taas
01:15refused to listen to the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability earlier.
01:19Only four people came in, three women and one man who is a lawyer.
01:25In the video presented in the hearing,
01:28you can see the beating of a woman with a female security guard,
01:32a woman wearing a police uniform, and a man wearing a black jacket.
01:37Good evening, ma'am.
01:40Can we open our eyes?
01:42Are you looking for a robe or what?
01:46Good evening, ma'am.
01:49While the order was being served, Vice President Sara Duterte arrived
01:52and she did not allow Lopez to be transferred.
01:56In the middle of the online briefing between Lopez and Duterte early on Saturday,
02:00Lopez's feelings worsened and he had to be taken to the hospital.
02:05One of Duterte's complaints was that the ambulance that would take Lopez to the hospital did not immediately let him in.
02:12It's a vehicle that is not organic in the House of Representatives.
02:16So it has to be approved by the Secretary-General, the access.
02:21When we confirmed that there is a medical emergency and we waited for the approval of SecGen
02:30on the entry of their ambulance, which is a requirement on my part because my hand is tied,
02:37we requested the Philippine National Police to send an ambulance.
02:44While Lopez was being taken to his stretcher, someone shouted at him.
02:48You stole his cell phone. Give it back.
02:52According to Lopez in his online briefing,
02:54those who went to his room were not drawn to get his cell phone.
02:59In the video presented on camera,
03:02the person in the camera, who was talking to Lopez and his roommate, can be seen.
03:07Later, Lopez was caught and his cell phone that was given to his roommate was returned.
03:14Later, we can see that there was no escalation, it was not stolen.
03:18It was not forcibly taken from them.
03:20It was just removed from their possession and placed on the table.
03:23The cell phone was left inside the cell.
03:27Taas also clarified that they allowed Lopez to choose his own lawyer.
03:32We have all the video, we have all the proof Mr. Chairman to show that there was no violation during that period.
03:54I assure you that nothing will happen to any of our detainees, even to our second president.
