00:00Vice President Sara Duterte has once again responded to some of the issues.
00:04She said that she is the root of the problems in politics.
00:09From Quezon City, Jonathan Anta has the story.
00:14Jonathan?
00:16Pia, Vice President Sara Duterte said that she is not the cause of the problems in politics.
00:23She replied to Congressman Jefferson's statement that
00:26the problems started when Vice President Duterte dreamed of becoming President.
00:32Here is what the media has to say to VP Sara Duterte here at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
00:40They should not gaslight me into saying that I am the cause of these problems.
00:46These problems started with their terrorism, harassment, and threats.
00:58The presidency of 2022 was mine already.
01:04I won the surveys.
01:06All the people were united for my candidacy.
01:13But I gave it away because I felt I had to do some other things
01:19other than being President of the Republic of the Philippines.
01:28Vice President Bongbong Marcos refused to comment on the impeachment of Vice President Duterte.
01:35VP Sara Duterte did not respond to the President's statement that
01:38she will never say never when asked yesterday if they still have hopes of reconciling.
01:43Meanwhile, VP Sara Duterte insisted that she will attend the next hearing
01:47regarding the confidential funds of OVP and DepEd.
01:50OVP staff requested that she attend the hearing
01:55because they are more comfortable if their boss is with them.
01:58But Vice President Duterte did not say if she will attend the NBI investigation on December 11,
02:04which was already set yesterday, but she did not attend because she was told that
02:09the hearing with the NBI investigation was already canceled.
02:13Meanwhile, VP Sara Duterte said that one of her two OVP staff is already here at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
02:21She is here now.
02:23She will be given medical clearance.
02:27But the other one who is staying here is just waiting to be discharged.
02:31When she is discharged, she will be transferred to another hospital
02:35according to the order of the private doctor of her staff.
02:41Meanwhile, we will just receive information.
02:44The House Secretary General of the Camera confirmed that
02:47they have already released the Chief of Staff of OVP in their custody,
02:51Atty. Zulaika Lopez, who is here at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
02:56Today, the contempt order of the Camera to Lopez ended
03:01because VP Sara said that she will indefinitely leave the hospital.
03:06That is the latest from the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
03:09Back to you, Pia.
03:11Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
03:15We are continuing our efforts to get permission from Malacanang and Congressman J. Cong Hun,
03:19the Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
03:24to investigate the confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.
