00:00A few days ago, the Umanoy government issued a law banning the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09Mela Lesmora is live in the center of the news.
00:15Nayomi is still waiting here in front of the camera for the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte
00:23on behalf of the House Majority Bloc.
00:25They denied that they are banning the impeachment.
00:29House Deputy Majority Leader Paulo Ortega denied that there are still two weeks before the new session break of the camera
00:37that's why there are still a lot of things that can happen.
00:39He denied that on the question of the media, if the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte will still be issued
00:47or if it will be added.
00:49The Makabayan Bloc insisted that the administration is banning it.
00:54Ortega said that there is no banning that is happening
00:57and no matter what resolution they will not ban it because it is part of the legislative process.
01:05In an interview, House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro said that he is already doubting
01:11if there will be a fourth impeachment complaint against the Vice President.
01:15He is still waiting for it, that's why he is not banning the other complaints.
01:19Katie Castro should be able to transmit the complaints to the House Speaker's Office as soon as possible.
01:27It would be better if there is a fourth complaint so that it will be easier.
01:32But I don't see any signal from our colleagues here in the House of Representatives.
01:40Even if you ask them, they don't know anything.
01:43So if there will be no fourth complaint, it should be acted on.
01:49It's not true that the President blocked it.
01:54But for the President, after hours, he said that it is not accepted that there will be an impeachment.
02:03That is the President's statement.
02:05But again, as I said, we still have two weeks, so a lot can happen.
02:10No matter who will have an impeachment or whatever bill it is, it will not be blocked.
02:17Because it is a legislative exercise.
02:21Naomi, an update here in the camera.
02:24It just started this afternoon that the House Committee on Legislative Franchises will continue its motu proper inquiry
02:31regarding the performance and other issues in the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
02:37Naomi.
02:38Thank you very much, Mela Alesmoras.
