00:00The security of President Bongbong Marcos has been doubled
00:04following the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:07The President left for the United Arab Emirates for a working visit.
00:12Duterte's so-called political persecution
00:15is what the government is doing to him.
00:17Ivan Mayrena reports.
00:20Those who commit such crimes should not be allowed to pass.
00:28That is my promise.
00:31That is the answer of President Bongbong Marcos
00:33during the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:36in her life this weekend.
00:38I was talking to someone.
00:40I told him, if you kill me,
00:43kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales.
00:48The President said, if that's how easy it is for the President to kill,
00:52how about ordinary citizens?
00:55If only VP Sara had answered the questions
00:58about the use of confidential funds,
01:00this drama would not have happened to her.
01:03The truth should not be talked about.
01:06Instead of giving a straightforward answer,
01:08she is even avoiding the story of chitcheria.
01:11The chitcheria mentioned by the President
01:13probably has something to do with the suspicious name
01:16Mary Grace Piatos,
01:17who signed the acknowledgment receipt for the OVP fund.
01:21According to VP Sara's statements,
01:24she was called by the DOJ as a self-confessed mastermind
01:27of the assassination plot against the President.
01:30They will give her a chance to explain herself.
01:34She is ready to answer.
01:36I would gladly answer,
01:39but they should also answer my questions to them.
01:44We will talk about it when the subpoena is there.
01:47She first said that she will kill the President
01:50if someone kills her, but for the DOJ.
01:53If such an event happens, who will benefit?
01:56She is the beneficiary of the death of the President.
01:59So her words have to be taken in the proper context.
02:04Many criminal cases can be filed against the Vice President.
02:09She can also discipline the Ombudsman
02:12and be disbarred as a lawyer.
02:15This is clear political harassment.
02:18This is clear political persecution.
02:20If someone threatens you, it doesn't matter.
02:22If someone threatens them, national security.
02:25Where are you?
02:26In the first statement, VP Sara said that
02:28her statements about the President were maliciously taken out of context,
02:32which is considered a national security concern of the National Security Council.
02:37The NSC said that the threat to the President is a national security concern.
02:48But apparently, they really do not consider the threat to the Vice President as anything of a concern.
