00:00Vice President Sara Duterte said that she will not attend the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:06Some of her reasons were revealed by the Vice President in a letter.
00:10Rod Lagusan in the Centro ng Balita, live. Rod.
00:18Joshua, it is true that Vice President Sara Duterte did not attend the National Bureau of Investigation today.
00:24This is still in line with what the NBI said in the second presidential election.
00:28This is still in line with what the NBI said in the second presidential election.
00:35Vice President Sara Duterte's lawyer was the only one who came to the NBI.
00:39Because this is the only way that VP Sara will not attend the National Bureau of Investigation
00:43according to the advice of her lawyers.
00:45Along with the reasons mentioned here,
00:47that Justice Secretary Remulia is the Administrative Superior of the NBI,
00:51that she is the alter ego of the President.
00:53While the Executive Secretary is the Chief Alter Ego of the President.
00:57According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago,
01:00what the Vice President said was right, that they are under the DOJ.
01:03He gave the mandate of the agency to conduct an investigation
01:08regarding the life of the President and other high-ranking officials in the country.
01:23The trust of our countrymen, of all people.
01:27So, we cannot blame him if he thinks that way.
01:31But then, we remain, our conscience is clear that the investigation will be fair.
01:39We have nothing to do with it.
01:43At the same time, the field was given by the second president in Liyam
01:47that there is no evidence that this was done against the President.
01:50They believe that this will be revealed in the ongoing investigation of the NBI,
01:55the context of the press conference.
01:58According to the letter that was sent by Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:02the NBI clearly stated that they did not receive a sworn statement
02:05or counter evidence that is better for their ongoing investigation.
02:10According to Santiago, the process will be speeded up
02:13if the second president faces them.
02:15According to Santiago, they will collect evidence.
02:19These include interviews and statements.
02:22On Friday, the last day of the investigation for the journalists and bloggers
02:27who were present in the press conference of the second president
02:30which is the subject of the investigation of the NBI.
02:34Once it's over, we will sit down, the panel of investigators.
02:41We will sit down and discuss this well.
02:45But as you know, it's a holiday.
02:48Maybe we can only sit down twice a week and study.
02:54We are five panels, all lawyers.
02:59The percentage of mistakes, maybe 2% of the mistakes.
03:06Because we really, we will only reveal the truth.
03:12According to Santiago, it is expected that their recommendation
03:16to the Department of Justice will be released in January.
03:19But Santiago said that they will send a counter evidence tomorrow
03:23to Vice President Sara Duterte while they are investigating this.
03:27Joshua, as for the investigation of the murder of Vice President Sara Duterte
03:33according to the NBI, they are still investigating this.
03:38Despite the fact that the field of Vice President Sara Duterte
03:41has not yet been given details about this.
03:44Joshua.
03:46Thank you very much, Rod Lagusan.
