04:47A new impeachment complaint will be filed against Vice President Sara Duterte today
04:51for questionable spending on the confidential funds of the OVP and DepEd.
04:57Aside from impeachment, the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
05:02has also filed a criminal complaint against Vice President Duterte.
05:05Let's talk to Joseph Moro.
05:09Who is Mary Grace Piatos?
05:11Do you think she's a real person?
05:13There is no birth, marriage, and death certificate
05:16with that name on the record of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
05:19But a Mary Grace Piatos Acknowledgement Receipt
05:23was signed by the Office of the Vice President
05:26to explain how they spent on the confidential fund of 2022.
05:30That's why the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability is looking for her.
05:34It is possible that the PSM will expand its search
05:37if it can provide additional information to the committee
05:40such as the name, place, and date of the parents of Mary Grace Piatos.
05:44It looks like a bogus acknowledgement receipt that is coming out.
05:48Maybe our next step is to check the other names.
05:54What does this show?
05:56Officials of the Office of the Vice President, led by no other than Sara Duterte,
06:02invented receipts to defend the wrong use of confidential funds.
06:13Now, there is a concrete proof that the money of the country was not used properly.
06:22The NBI committee is also investigating the signatures of other questionable acknowledgement receipts.
06:28But what if the names used in the liquidation of the CONFIFUNDS are not real?
06:33We asked the COA, but the congressmen admitted that this is not clear.
06:38According to the committee that investigates the confidential funds
06:41of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education,
06:44they have enough information not only to restrict the use of confidential funds
06:49in a new law, but also to investigate criminal cases.
06:53This is for the complaint of bribery and graft and corruption.
06:57We are recommending the filing of charges against the staff of the DPO.
07:03The staff of the Vice President and the DepEd, and even the Vice President, are not immune to the suit.
07:12The backstaff at her office is responsible for all of that.
07:17It cannot be accounted for that the CONFIFUNDS used one of the mentioned articles of impeachment
07:23that was filed against Vice President Duterte,
07:25as well as the violation of the life of President Bongbong Marcos, the First Lady, and the House Speaker.
07:31Even so, the palace was shocked by the position of the President
07:35regarding the impeachment against the Vice President before filing a complaint.
07:40The President already made a clear and unambiguous statement
07:44that he would not support an effort to impeach.
07:49It's distracting.
07:51We still have a lot to do.
07:54It's important for the country.
07:57That's how it should be.
07:59Any suggestion that it's political or instigated by our side,
08:07no, that is never true.
08:12Another impeachment complaint will be endorsed by Makabayan Blak.
08:16It will involve 50 bodies from various organizations.
08:20We are still waiting for the statement of the office of Vice President Sara Duterte.
08:24Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:32It is said that a traveler experienced a different kind of call of nature
08:36at the Impasugong Bukidnon.
08:39The van that Aina Rivera entered had a big window.
08:43It's like the painting view of the surrounding area was framed.
08:48So it's certain that your stress and fatigue will be flushed.
08:52The video went viral online with 1.7 million views.
