00:07AFP Chief General Romeo Browning Jr. is strongly opposing the former President Rodrigo Duterte's call
00:14to correct and include the military despite the increasing attention to politics.
00:19The AFP Chief is angry that this is not the primary duty of the AFP.
00:24In addition to being an official, their mandate is to protect the sovereignty,
00:28the citizens and the constitution of the country.
00:31The AFP Chief also promised that the soldiers will remain professional
00:35and will follow the chain of command.
00:39There is a call to intervene the Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:46in what is happening to our politics here in our country.
00:52But that is not our job.
00:56We cannot just air our grievances just freely being members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
01:04If we want to do that, let's just resign.
01:08Let's take off our uniforms and then that's the time you're free to do whatever you want to do.
01:14Meanwhile, the Bicameral Conference Committee is now in session
01:18for the 6.352 trillion pesos national budget for next year.
01:24The Bicameral Conference Committee is expected to discuss the disagreeing provisions of the version of the General Appropriations Bill.
01:31The issue of the ACAP program will also be discussed here.
01:34First, Representative Jill Bongalon said that the ACAP fund will be opposed by the Camera
01:39because it will greatly help the middle-income workers who have low incomes.
01:43They want the law to be funded next year.

01:56or Rodrigo Duterte against President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will not happen.
02:00Vel Custodio has a report. Vel?
02:04Joshua, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong gave a statement
02:08according to the words of Vice President Saro Duterte to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,
02:13First Lady Luisa Raneta Marcos and House Speaker Martin Rumualde.
02:18According to Mayor Magalong, what I'm saying will not continue.
02:24According to him, the unfolding remarks of the Vice President are emotional
02:29and the Vice President has bad intentions.
02:33Although it may be emotional, according to the Mayor,
02:39the Vice President should not be releasing such words.
02:45This is one way of not being disrespectful to the President.
02:52Back to you Joshua.
02:55Thank you very much Vel Custodio.
