00:00To be continued...
00:30Sa dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez. May report si Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:35Taus puso at puno ng pagsisisi na ako po ay humihingi ng kapatawaran.
00:42Nakagawa po ako ng pagkakamali at pinahintulutan ko po ang aking sarili na maging kasangkapan sa pagpapatupad ng isang masamang gawain.
00:51Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, humarap si dating DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo sa Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
01:00Umamin siya na sangkot sa pagtanggap ng kickback sa mga flood control projects sa baylahad ng iba pang personalidad sa anomalya.
01:08Sa kanyang sworn affidavit, taong 2024 nang kausapin daw siya ni DepEd Undersecretary Tri-Give Olayvar
01:14para umano sa unprogrammed funds na para sa Office of the Executive Secretary.
01:20Dahil dito, inatasan niya si dating Bulacan District Engineer, Henry Alcantara,
01:25na magsumite ng listahan ng mga proyekto na nagkakahalaga ng 2.8 billion pesos.
01:30Yusek Olayvar personally called me for a meeting to discuss about unprogrammed appropriations
01:36supposedly for the Office of the Executive Secretary.
01:40In the said meeting, he requested me to submit a list of projects.
01:44Yusek Olayvar told me that the commitment is 15% in his words, boss Kinsian.
01:51Thereafter, the DPW has received a special allotment release order for 2.85 billion for the projects.
02:00Mismong si Bernardo rin daw ang nag-deliver ng pera kay Olayvar.
02:04Pinabulaanan ito ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
02:08Git niya walang kinalaman ng kanyang opisina sa kahit anong budgetary allocations sa DPWH
02:13at walaro siyang kahit anong transaksyon kina Bernardo o kay Olayvar.
02:19Itinanggi rin ni Olayvar ang mga bintang.
02:21Bukas daw siya sa anumang investigasyon.
02:24Para raw magkaroon ng patas na investigasyon,
02:27kusa siyang mag-leave of absence sa kanyang posisyon sa DepEd.
02:30Sabi ni Bernardo, dating staff ng mga Senador si Olayvar,
02:34kabilang si dating Senador Bong Revilla na tumanggap din umano ng kickback.
02:38Senador Revilla asked for a commitment which I suggested.
02:42Then he approved at 25% of the total amount of the project.
02:45I relayed the 25% commitment to Ejiria Acantara and told him that Senador Revilla
02:50will appreciate additional contributions for his Senatorial re-election bid.
02:56Engineer Alcantara collected the 25% commitment or about 125 million
03:01which was turned over to me and then delivered to Senador Revilla in his house in Cavite.
03:06Sa isang payag, kinundina ng kampo ni Revilla ang mga aligasyon na pawang walang katotohanan raw.
03:13Bukas at handa raw siya makipagtulungan sa kahit anong official inquiry
03:17o legal na proseso para lumabas ang katotohanan.
03:20I-dinawid din ni Bernardo si dating Senador at ngayon ay Makati City Mayor Nancy Binay.
03:26Isang nagpakilalang staff daw ni Binay na si Carlin Villia
03:30ang tumawag kay Bernardo at humingi ng 15% sa mga proyekto.
03:35I relayed the 15% commitment to Engineer Alcantara.
03:39Engineer Alcantara collected 15% commitment or about 37 million
03:44which was turned over to me and which I then delivered to Senador Binay at a house in Quezon City.
03:50Sa isang Facebook post, pinabula na ni Binay ang mga bintang sa kanya.
03:55Nakagugulat daw na nagagamit siya para ipanglihis saan niya
03:59ang mga tunay na kailangang panagutin sa isyo.
04:02I-dinawid din ni Bernardo si Senador Cheese Escudero.
04:06Noong August 2022 habang nasa confirmation hearing
04:09ni dating DPWH Secretary Manuel Bunuan,
04:13pinatawag umano siya ni Escudero sa opisina nito.
04:16When I got there, he told me,
04:19hindi na ako bababa sa CA.
04:21Marami pa akong kulang na streetlights sa Sorsogon.
04:24Ano ba magagawa niyo para sa akin?
04:27I relayed to Secretary Bunuan what Senador Cheese told me.
04:31Subsequently, I received from the brother-in-law of Senador Cheese Escudero
04:36a list of projects which included the aforesaid streetlights project.
04:39He asked me to confirm if that streetlights project was the one for Senador Cheese, which I did.
04:46Muli raw silang nag-usap ni Escudero noong 2023
04:49sa papangmagitan ng negosyante at common friend nilang si Maynard Ngu.
04:54Base sa statement of contributions and expenditures ni Escudero,
04:57isa si Ngu sa kanyang campaign donors at nagbigay ng 30 million pesos noong 2022 elections.
05:05While we were drinking wine, he told me,
05:08alam ko naman ang galawan niyo dyan sa DPWH.
05:11Okay naman ako.
05:12Sabihin mo kay Esc, magbaba sa akin.
05:14Ayon pa kay Bernardo,
05:16hiningan siya ni Ngu ng listahan ng mga proyekto na kalaunay na ipasok sa 2025 national budget.
05:22When I gave him the list and in relation to the commitment,
05:26I asked him,
05:27Boss, paano to?
05:29Maynard replied,
05:31Bahala ka na.
05:32I asked,
05:34Boss, okay na ba ang 20%?
05:37Maynard said,
05:38Okay.
05:40After inclusion of the projects in Daga'a,
05:42I delivered 20% of approximately 800 million or about 160 million to Maynard Ngu,
05:50which was meant for Senator Escudero.
05:52The delivery of the 160 million for Senator Cheese happened sometime in the first quarter of 2025.
05:59Around July 2025,
06:01I had a chance encounter with Senator Cheese and Maynard Ngu at the court.
06:05Senator Cheese Escudero approached me,
06:08shook my hand,
06:09and said to me,
06:10Sa isang pahayag,
06:12maring itinanggi ni Escudero ang mga paratang.
06:15Patutunayan daw niyang nagsisinungaling si Bernardo.
06:18Hinala ni Escudero,
06:19isa itong plano para sirain ang kredibilidad ng Senado
06:22at ilihis ang atensyon ng publiko sa mga totoong may sala.
06:27Tanong niya,
06:27nasaan daw si Rep. Zaldico
06:30at Rep. at dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez?
06:34Inilahad din ni Bernardo na may transaksyon sila ni Co.
06:37Tinanong daw siya ni Co kung maayos kausap si Engineer Alcantara.
06:41Bagay na sinagot ni Bernardo na oo.
06:44Engineer Alcantara then told me that Co. Zaldico was asking for a 25% commission
06:50and out of that amount,
06:522% was to be shared equally between Engineer Alcantara and myself.
06:56In his exact words,
06:59Boss, hati na tayo sa 2%.
07:01Furthermore,
07:04Engineer Alcantara would tell me every time
07:06that he made deliveries of cash to Congressman Zaldico
07:09in compliance with his commitment.
07:11Nagpa-refer din daw kay Bernardo
07:13si Commission on Audit Commissioner Mario Lipana
07:16kay Alcantara.
07:18Naka-medical leave ngayon si Lipana
07:19at nagpapagamot daw sa ibang bansa
07:21ayon sa COA.
07:23Matapos basayan ng kanyang affidavit,
07:25dinala si Bernardo sa Department of Justice.
07:28Sabi ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimulia,
07:31provisionally accepted na si Bernardo
07:33sa Witness Protection Program.
07:35Binigyan siya ng proteksyon ng DOJ
07:37pero posible pa rin sampahan ng kaso.
07:40We have to be very careful
07:41because once you give the person
07:45the status of a state witness,
07:47then you discharge them
07:48from criminal and civil liability.
07:51Samantala,
07:52isang nagpakilalang dating security detail
07:55ni Congressman Co
07:55ang iniharap ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta
07:58sa pagdinig.
07:59Sabi ni Orly Regala to Tessa,
08:02naghatid siya ng pera sa bahay ni Co
08:04at dating House Speaker Representative
08:05Martin Romualdez.
08:07Ang tawag nila sa
08:08e-deliver na pera,
08:10basura.
08:10Humigit kumulang tatlong bisis ako mismo
08:13ang nag-deliver ng basura
08:15sa bahay ni Congressman Saldico
08:17sa mga bahay ni Speaker Romualdez
08:23tagig.
08:26May pagkakataon daw na isang
08:28kongresista ang mismong
08:29nagdala ng pera sa bahay ni Co
08:31sa Pasig.
08:32Ang isang ihemplo na nagdala ng pera
08:34ay si Congressman Eric Yap
08:36ng AXI-IS Partilist.
08:3846 na malita
08:42ang dala niya
08:43sa bahay ni
08:45Congressman Saldico.
08:46Hindi malinaw sa salaysay ni Gutesa
08:48kung saan galing ang perang
08:49dinala ni Yap
08:50sa bahay ni Co.
08:52Maring itinanggi ni Yap
08:53ang aligasyon.
08:54Hindi umano siya tumanggap
08:55o kaya ay nag-authorize
08:57ng paghatid ng pera
08:58kaugnay ng flood control projects.
09:00Humarap din sa komite
09:01ang dalawang driver
09:02ng DPWH Bulacan
09:04na nagsabing
09:05naghahatid din sila
09:06ng mga maleta

09:45pilit na pilit daw
09:46ang pag-uugnay sa kanya
09:47sa mga sinasabing
09:48kickback.
09:49Imposible daw
