00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Vice President Sara Duterte did not appear for the second time in the investigation of the NBI
00:12in connection with her statements against the President, First Lady, and House Speaker.
00:19She is not convinced that the investigation will be fair.
00:22She also said that she did not blame the statements.
00:26She also said that there is no need to explain the expenses of the confidential funds of her office.
00:32And Jun Veneracion was found guilty.
00:38Instead of facing the investigation of the NBI,
00:41in connection with her allegations against President Marcos,
00:44First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:49Vice President Sara Duterte chose to face the media today.
00:54The second President said that she did not expect a fair investigation.
00:59Because if you saw the message of the President,
01:09he said that these are criminal acts that I will not tolerate.
01:15So, we can see the pronouncements of the President.
01:22There is bias there.
01:25So, even if they say that there is an investigation,
01:30at the beginning, they already decided to file cases.
01:34Do you regret making such a threat to the President, First Lady, and House Speaker?
01:42No ma'am.
01:43It's good that they know that if I die, I will not die in vain.
01:51Duterte is ready for anything that will happen,
01:54including the impeachment complaint that she accused of using confidential funds.
01:59The worst-case scenario that we can see is removal from office, impeachment,
02:06and multiple cases to be filed, which the lawyers already told me to expect as well.
02:17That is why I just decided not to go to the NBI.
02:23She will face the cases that will be filed in court.
02:26Even if she reaches her goal, she will be jailed.
02:29Among the cases filed against Duterte,
02:32there are anti-terrorism law and plunder that cannot be considered.
02:36I do not plan to leave the country or I do not plan to hide if there will be a warrant of arrest,
02:43mainly because my children are here.
02:46Despite the problems that Duterte is facing now,
02:49most of them are based on the questionable use of confidential funds.
02:54She was accused of having nothing to explain.
02:57She has nothing to do with the preparation of the acknowledgement receipts
03:00that came out in the investigation of the House of Representatives,
03:03where I questioned if it was real people who received money from confidential funds,
03:09like a Mary Grace Piatos who is not on the record of the PSA.
03:13So it is wrong to say that I am evasive.
03:16I am definitely not answering questions about the use of the fund, about confidential funds,
03:22because it pertains to national security and the lives of the people involved in intelligence operations.
03:29It is clear that the use of confidential funds has something to do with the 2028 elections.
03:36If you are in aid of legislation and you want to legislate about confidential funds,
03:43you do not target one office.
03:46Why not call the office of the president who has billions and billions of confidential funds?
03:51Duterte was accused of having a grudge against her life and this is documented.
03:56But she did not want to give details to law enforcement agencies because she does not trust them.
04:02Duterte wrote to AFP Chief of Staff General Romy Roner Jr.
04:07that if a member of the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group is pulled out,
04:12he will not be accepted as a replacement.
04:14We are exploring private security services.
04:18There are professional security services.
04:21So that is not considered as a private army.
04:25And I do not know if these individuals are allowed to bring guns.
04:31So that makes them less of an army mob if they do not have guns.
04:39The second president has already accepted whatever will happen.
04:42I am at peace with whatever happens to me.
04:45Staying and finishing my term because that is my contract with the Filipino people.
04:54And I am at peace going if I will be removed from office.
