00:00To direct the impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte to the Senate,
00:05the signature campaign of Makabayan Black was launched.
00:08Jonathan Andal was the speaker.
00:12The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability will not call Vice President Sara Duterte anymore
00:19because they will end their hearings tomorrow on the confidential funds of the Vice President.
00:24There is an impeachment complaint against her.
00:27One of the reasons is the confidential funds.
00:30If the impeachment goes ahead, the Committee on Justice will do the hearings.
00:34If this goes to the Committee on Justice, they will face it automatically.
00:40This is the purpose of our investigation, in aid of legislation.
00:45We were able to come up already with legislative bills that we will pass.
00:51Because the military is also investigating, the committee will not investigate Colonel Raymond Dantel Atchika and Colonel Dennis Nolasco,
00:59security officers of the Vice President who were given millions of pesos in confidential funds.
01:05What we saw here, they will just cover it up.
01:09We will let the AFP conduct their own investigation.
01:14At the end of the hearings, the chairman of the committee believes that Vice President Sara Duterte did something wrong with the funds.
01:21If this was used correctly, it should have been done from the beginning.
01:25All of them did not hide anything.
01:28They did not need to be contemned.
01:31In the latest information, the impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte is still in the office of the Secretary General.
01:36This will be passed to the office of the House Speaker to be brought to the plenary and to be passed to the Justice Committee to hear it.
01:42But the Vice Chairman of the Justice Committee, Representative Keith Flores,
01:46believes that they don't have enough time to continue the impeachment because the 19th Congress will be held until June.
01:52That's why a signature campaign was launched by the townspeople to block the Congressmen from getting 106 votes
02:01so that the impeachment will be directed to the Senate and it will not go through a long process in the House of Representatives.
02:06I don't know that they are campaigning to secure the signatures.
02:10In Cebu City, the supporters of Vice President Duterte gathered in Plaza Independencia to discuss the impeachment.
02:17For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal.
02:20Stay tuned for 24 Hours.
