00:00VP, I know this question has been asked many times.

00:03Yung impeachment na nakahang pa rin sa'yo,

00:07how are you going to address the allegations of, for example, fictitious names as beneficiaries of the fund?

00:16It can be very well addressed during trial.

00:19So our lawyers are preparing for the trial and collecting pieces of evidence

00:25and gathering affidavits from witnesses that they will present during trial.

00:32But let me just say this, I think it is wrong for everyone to pick up as truth or as a fact

00:48all the pronouncements of the members of the House of Representatives,

00:54particularly with the fictitious names, because there are rules in intelligence operations.

01:01And you already heard some of intelligence, people who work in intelligence say that aliases are used,

01:16are often used in intelligence operations.

01:19So it can be accused that the fictitious names are not related to ASC?

01:29Yes. That can be discussed during the trial, ma'am.

01:33I do not want to elaborate on intelligence operations.

01:37We have an intelligence expert on our side, two actually, who will be our resource persons.

01:47So let us wait for the trial, and as I said yesterday, if there is no trial, then I will answer it publicly.

01:57I just want to wait what will happen to the articles of impeachment.

02:03I do not know this.

02:12You have to wait for the trial, and I also encourage you to know the truth of death.

02:14And the truth of a lot of the truth is that it is that you could be part of a reconciliation.
