00:00The Supreme Court has received a complaint regarding the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:05that it is insulting the former President Ferdinand Marcos.
00:08Aside from that, there is still a pending dismarkment case against the vice president
00:13because of his assault on a Davao City Sheriff in 2011.
00:17Chino Gaston was charged.
00:20The Supreme Court has received a complaint regarding the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:30that it is insulting the former President Ferdinand Marcos.
00:38If you don't stop, I will insult your father. I will throw him in the West Philippine Sea.
00:46The Supreme Court said it is anonymous or there is no name in the complaint.
00:50Just this month, the Supreme Court received an anonymous complaint regarding her statements
00:57about the late President Ferdinand Marcos.
01:02And how has the Supreme Court acted on that anonymous complaint?
01:07There's no action yet at the moment.
01:09The Supreme Court also said that there is still a pending disbarment case against Duterte.
01:14It was filed in 2011, when VP Sara was still the mayor of Davao.
01:19This is related to her assault on Davao City Sheriff Abbe Andres
01:23who is issuing a demolition order against the informal settlers of the city.
01:28Let's go, sir.
01:30She doesn't want to.
01:32Let's go.
01:34Let's go.
01:36Why did you file a demolition order?
01:38I'm not very informed about what happened in the case
01:43but I know that there were a lot of pleadings and procedures that happened.
01:47So for the disbarment case, it's really on a case-to-case basis.
01:51Andres did not file a complaint against Duterte.
01:55But he was reprimanded by the Ombudsman after he filed a complaint with the Sheriffs' Confederation of the Philippines.
02:01Duterte issued a public apology almost a year after the incident.
02:06But he has been personally apologizing to Andres for a long time.
02:11I have never publicly apologized.
02:15So I would just like to apologize to Sheriff Andres
02:19and most importantly to his family.
02:22I know that they were hurt when they ran away.
02:29So I'm sorry to them.
02:31It will not happen again.
02:33And it was an unfortunate incident.
02:38Under the rules of court,
02:40aside from filing a disbarment complaint to the Supreme Court or the Integrated Bar of the Philippines,
02:46the Supreme Court can also use its own motto or its own actions to judge the actions of a lawyer.
02:53That's why the Supreme Court also asked if it has any action to do with the new statements issued by VP Sara to President Marcos.
03:02It's always possible that the Supreme Court can take cognizance of anything that's publicly known.
03:07But usually, it's usually by a complaint.
03:10So we'll wait and see what the court has or what the court will do with it.
03:14We are still trying to get a statement from the field of the Vice President.
03:18For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, Akatutok, 24 Hours.
