00:00The National Security Council is now in charge of pursuing Maccabayan Black
00:05to be able to fulfill the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:10Alvin Baltazar of Radyo Pilipinas in Balitang Pambansa Live.
00:17Good morning. The National Security Council is considering Maccabayan Black as a concern
00:23to continue the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:27This is also in line with the first statement of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:33that it is not in favor of the possibility that the Vice President will go through the impeachment proceedings.
00:42According to NSC Deputy Director General Jonathan Malaya,
00:45they are still seeing a group of leftists in the chamber to pursue the impeachment case
00:51and this is where the principles of Joma Sison will be challenged.
00:55This is the development of a scenario that will result in violent rallies and demonstrations
01:01and from there, a vision will emerge that there is no stability or chaos in the country.
01:07Maccabayan Black wants to fight the so-called ruling class, the political class,
01:13because it is class warfare.
01:14And then they will carry out violent rallies and demonstrations
01:18just like what happened in Unifacio Day where police were injured.
01:21And when they created this impression of instability,
01:24that is where they will enter so that the trust of the entire country in the government will be lost.
01:30That is why the National Security Council is concerned.
01:33According to NSC Deputy Director General Jonathan Malaya,
01:36they are in agreement with the President's statement that the impeachment complaint should not continue
01:41Now, if the process of questioning the Vice President will continue,
01:45it will only be temporary to address the more important thing that should be noted.
01:51The focus of those in the legislature will only be removed
01:55if the impeachment against VT-Sara happens immediately.
02:01The President clearly stated that the needs of our countrymen should be addressed
02:05and if there is such an impeachment, the attention of our legislature and all of our country will be lost to such issues.
02:14Yesterday, the impeachment complaint was filed against the Vice President
02:18by various groups such as Magdaluh, Pamamayang Liberal, Tinding Pilipinas,
02:23Families of Drug War Victims, and Church Members.
02:26The charges are counted as
02:28culpable violation of the Constitution, betrayal of public trust, bribery, and graft and corruption.
02:36Reporting from the Palace of Malacanang, I am Alvin Baltazar of Radyo Pilipinas for Balitang Pambansang.
02:43Thank you very much Alvin Baltazar.
