00:00She knew she had it coming, and it did.
00:03Now-embattled Vice President Sara Duterte Carpio has one more legal woe added to her baggage,
00:08a development the House received with relief and eagerness
00:11because it bolsters their claim against the sitting Vice President, as Armela Las Moras reports.
00:19Several House Solons who support the impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte
00:24are confident that their complaint has become even stronger
00:27now that the National Bureau of Investigation has also recommended
00:30the filing of charges against the Vice President
00:33over her alleged death threats on President Ferdinand R. Marquez, Jr.,
00:37First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:41According to House Assistant Majority Leader Jill Bongalon,
00:44who is also part of the House Prosecution Panel,
00:47this serves as proof that VP Sara has indeed committed violations.
00:52This is a positive development, especially in relation to the impeachment case
00:57filed against the Vice President.
00:59So it would really strengthen our position that indeed the Vice President committed criminal acts.
01:07House Deputy Majority Leader Paul Ortega and Assistant Majority Leader Ernest Ronisio also agree,
01:13especially since there was evidence available to prove their claims.
01:17I really don't know how they can deny it, because it was clearly seen.
01:21It was live, there was a video.
01:23So, it was clearly seen that there is corruption in the life of our President by the Vice President.
01:30Kudos to NBI. We salute you in doing your job.
01:34We hope that we get to the bottom of this.
01:36To the NBI, men and women of NBI, we salute you.
01:40House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro, for her part, also welcomed the NBI's move.
01:45However, she hopes the case against the Vice President will continue to progress,
01:49unlike what happened in her own case.
01:52Well, if we can remember, in October of last year,
01:56there was also violence in my life on national TV, social media.
02:03Former President Duterte, I filed a case against him.
02:12However, it was dismissed in the lower court, so we filed for review.
02:18Meanwhile, House Assistant Majority Leader Jude Acidre reminded the Senate, in particular,
02:23that the impeachment trial should not be delayed as the issue directly affects the President's safety.
02:29If we continue to delay justice, we may be placing our Commander-in-Chief in serious danger.
02:35A lot of things can happen within the five months of the Senate trial.
02:40If we are naive, this trial will be delayed every day.
02:46There is a threat to the life of our President.
