00:00In December, the NBI ordered the resignation of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:06after she did not attend the meeting today.
00:09Some congressmen denied the resignation of the second president.
00:14And John Consulta was there.
00:19The NBI is ready to arrest Vice President Sara Duterte
00:24for their involvement in the Pasay City for their investigation
00:28about the alleged allegations of Vice against President Marcos,
00:31First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:35But in the end, Vice President Duterte did not show up.
00:38Instead, her lawyer arrived.
00:41The letter said Vice President Duterte will not show up.
00:58of representative committee on good government and public accountability inquiry
01:03into the office of the Vice President.
01:05Vice President Duterte said she will not go to the NBI
01:09because the House Committee is investigating the confidential funds of OVP and BEP-ED.
01:15But the committee cancelled the hearing to give way to the NBI.
01:20The cancellation of the House yesterday came in late.
01:27It came in late.
01:28So she is not ready for the NBI investigation.
01:32Because of this, the NBI canceled December 11 as a new date for Vice President Sara to go to the NBI.
01:40Why so far?
01:42To give her a chance to prepare.
01:45But in Vice President Sara's letter, some of her NBI requests were included.
01:49She has a request, a clear copy of the complaint filed against her,
01:53the documents initiated in the investigation,
01:56and the possible questions that we will ask her.
02:01When we give possible questions, we talk to our ears.
02:07That is not our final action.
02:12But then, we will uprise her on what we are investigating.
02:18According to the NBI, they will ask Vice President Sara two questions.
02:23We are investigating the video clips where she threatened to kill the President, the First Lady, and the Speaker.
02:37And she will do that when she dies.
02:40We will clarify that.
02:43What we are asking for is justification.
02:46Why did you say that?
02:48Reason, why did you say that?
02:50Background, why did you say that?
02:53We will ask her everything.
02:55She also claimed that there is a threat on her life.
02:59She is the Vice President.
03:01We will also investigate that.
03:03We will ask her, who did you threaten?
03:06Do we have evidence?
03:09Aside from VP Sara, there are other personalities that the NBI will bring in regarding the ongoing investigation.
03:16Some of her associates are included in the Zoom press conference.
03:20According to the NBI, their investigation will be fair in regards to VP Sara.
03:26But the Vice President will not be able to arrive on December 11, according to the NBI.
03:32On December 11, comes December 11, she is notified, for example, and she still does not want to go, we cannot force her.
03:44Maybe there is a reason why she will not be able to come.
03:48It depends on the reason.
03:50If December 11 comes, even if there is no request for extension, for valid reason,
03:57then we will consider that as a waiver on her part and then we will proceed with our final report.
04:04VP Sara's non-face-to-face meeting with the NBI today,
04:07was attended by the Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability, Congressman J. Cong Hoon.
04:14It is impossible that the Vice President does not know about the cancellation that happened yesterday.
04:19This is another chance.
04:21Here we can see that if you are powerful and rich, you don't need to face it.
04:29This is also what House Deputy Majority Leader Paolo Ortega said.
04:33Without the support of the Vice President, it is not leadership if his performance is arrogant.
04:39We are still trying to get the opinion of the NBI and VP Sara about this.
04:43For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
04:47Ringing 24 hours.
