00:00After the investigation of DPWH engineers Henry Alcantara, Bryce Hernandez at J.P. Mendoza,
00:09the former secretary of Roberto Bernardo,
00:12the former president of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
00:14I am a heart and a heart at a heart of my family,
00:30Sa pagsisiwalat ni Bernardo ng kanyang nalalaman ukol sa pangungomisyon sa flood control projects,
00:36kanyang isinangkot si na Sen. Cheese Escudero, pati mga dating senador na si Nabong Revilla at Nancy Binay
00:42at si dating House Appropriations Committee Chairman Zaldico.
00:46Si Congressman Corao tumawag kay Bernardo para magtanong tungkol kay dating Bulacan 1st District Engineer Henry Alcantara.
00:52Engineer Alcantara then told me that Kong Zaldico was asking for a 25% commission
00:58and out of that amount, 2% was to be shared equally between Engineer Alcantara and myself.
01:05In his exact words,
01:07Boss, hati na tayo sa 2%.
01:10Furthermore, Engineer Alcantara would tell me every time
01:14that he made deliveries of cash to Congressman Zaldico in compliance with his commitment.
01:19Sabi rin ni Bernardo, nagbigay siya ng komisyon para law kay dating Senate President Cheese Escudero.
01:25Ayon kay Bernardo, binigay umano niya ang pera sa kanilang common friend na negosyanting si Maynard Ngo,
01:31isa sa campaign contributors ni Escudero.
01:34Base sa Statement of Contributions and Expenditures o SOSA ni Escudero,
01:38nagbigay si Ngo ng 30 million pesos para sa kampanya ni Escudero noong 2022 elections.
01:43Maynard Ngo asked me to submit a list of projects.
01:47I personally submitted a list of projects to Maynard Ngo
01:50and some of the items therein pertaining to Valenzuela and Marinduque projects
01:55were subsequently included in the General Appropriations Act.
01:59When I gave him the list and in relation to the commitment,
02:02I asked him,
02:04Boss, paano to?
02:05Maynard replied,
02:07Bahala ka na.
02:09I asked,
02:10Boss, okay na ba ang 20%?
02:13Maynard said,
02:14Okay.
02:16After inclusion of the projects in Daga,
02:19I delivered 20% of approximately 800 million or about 160 million
02:24to Maynard Ngo, which was meant for Sen. Escudero.
02:29Mariing itinanggi ni Escudero,
02:30ang ani ay mga malisyosong paratang.
02:33Patutunayan daw ni Escudero na nagsisinungaling si Bernardo.
02:36Tila meron daw mabusising plano na atakihin ang Senado at mga miyembro nito
02:40para dungisan ang institusyon at malihis ang atensyon ng publiko sa totoong may sala.
02:46Tanong pa ni Escudero.
02:47Nasaan daw si Rep. Zaldico at dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez?
02:512024 naman daw nang magkita si Bernardo at si dating Sen. Bong Revilla.
02:55Nagbigay rin siya ng listahan ng koryekto kay Revilla.
02:59Sen. Revilla asked for a commitment which I suggested
03:02then he approved at 25% of the total amount of the projects indicated in the list here to attach as Annex C.
03:11I relayed the 25% commitment to Engineer Alcantara
03:16and told him that Sen. Revilla will appreciate additional contributions for his senatorial re-election bid.
03:23Engineer Alcantara collected the 25% commitment or about 125 million
03:28which was turned over to me and then delivered to Sen. Revilla in his house in Cavite.
03:34Kinundinan ni Revilla ang mga aligasyon ni Bernardo laban sa kanya.
03:37Wala raw itong katotohanan.
03:39Handa raw makipagtulungan ang dating senador sa anumang imbestigasyon o prosesong legal.
03:44Kaisa rin daw siya ng publiko sa panawagang may dapat managot.
03:48Pinanggit din ni Bernardo si dating senador at ngayong Makati City Mayor Nancy Binay.
03:522024 nang tawagan daw siya ng nagpakilalang staff ni Binay na si Carleen Villia
03:57at humingi raw ng 15% sa mga proyekto nito.
04:00I relayed the 15% commitment to Engineer Alcantara.
04:04Engineer Alcantara collected 15% commitment or about 37 million
04:09which was turned over to me and which I then delivered to Sen. Binay at a house in Quezon City.
04:16Sa isang Facebook post, sinabi ni Binay na walang katotohanan ang mga bintang sa kanya.
04:22Nakakagulat daw na nagagamit siya para ipanglihis saan niya yung mga tunay na kailangang panagutin sa issue.
04:27Dagdag niya, above board at walang bahid ng pagdududa ang kanyang performance sa public service.
04:332024 tumawag naman daw kay Bernardo si ngayoy Dep and Undersecretary Trigiv Olaivar
04:38na dating nagtatrabaho sa mga senador, kabinang si dating Sen. Bong Revilla.
04:43Yusek Olaivar personally called me for a meeting to discuss about unprogrammed appropriations
04:49supposedly for the office of the Executive Secretary.
04:53In the said meeting, he requested me to submit a list of projects.
04:57After the meeting, I asked Bulacan First DEO to prepare a list of projects for funding.
05:02Thereafter, Engineer Alcantara submitted a list of projects worth 2.85 billion here to attach as Annex B is a list of those projects.
05:15Subsequently, I submitted this list to Yusek Olaivar.
05:19Yusek Olaivar told me that the commitment is 15 percent, in his words, boss Quincyan.
05:26Thereafter, the DPW has received a special allotment release order for 2.85 billion for the projects.
05:34Itinanggi ni Olaivar ang mga aligasyon at bukas siya sa anumang investigasyon kaugnay nito.
05:39Para raw magkaroon ng patas na investigasyon, kusa siyang maglilive of absence sa kanyang posisyon sa Dep Ed.
05:46Itinanggi rin ni Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin ang paratang tungkol sa 15 percent commitment na sinasabi ni Bernardo.
05:52Wala raw kinalaman ang kanyang tanggapan sa mga alokasyon sa budget ng DPWH.
05:57Wala rin daw transaksyon ng Office of the Executive Secretary kina Bernardo o Olaivar.
06:02Nagpa-refer din daw kay Bernardo si Commission and Audit Commissioner Mario Lipana ki Alcantara.
06:07Naka-medical leave ngayon si Lipana at nagpapagamot daw sa ibang bansa ayon sa COA.
06:12Ang sinabi ni Bernardo na 15 percent na commitment kung tawagin para sa ilang politiko,
06:17iba sa mga sinasabi ng ibang tumistigong dating DPWH officials na 25 percent.
06:23Kaya tanong ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo, nasaan daw ang natitirang 10 percent?
06:27So sa palagay mo, sinabi niya po, nasaan kaya napunta po yung 10 percent?
06:32It's either po kay Boss Henry o kay Boss Robert. Hindi po sa akin.
06:37Agree po na 25 percent po to up to 30 percent po yung pinagagayak po.
06:43Will it be safe to say, Engineer Alcantara, na yung 10 percent napupunta lang siguro kay Yusek Bernardo?
06:53Wala po kong personal na leads.
06:55Pero kayo po, pag inabot din yung nasa 25 percent, lahat po yun?
06:59Yes po.
07:00Ayon sa Department of Justice, provisionally accepted sa Witness Protection Program si dating Yusek Bernardo.
07:05Gayun din ang mga dating DPWH Bulacan official na sina Alcantara, Hernandez at Mendoza at ang mag-asawang Pasifiko at Sara Descaya.
07:14Ibig sabihin nito, bibigyan sila ng proteksyon ng DOJ, particular sa siguridad at escort.
07:20Pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na wala na silang pananagutan.
07:23We have to be very careful because once you give the person the status of a state witness,
07:30then you discharge them from criminal and civil liability.
07:34Sinasabi nga namin, pag nagsabi ka ng totoo at ikaw naman ay hindi nakuha ang state witness,
07:40at least pwede ka mag-pre-bargain.
07:42You can reduce the gravity of the penalties that can be imposed on you by showing good faith.
07:48Kasi hindi naman pwede lahat state witness.
07:50Kailangan may managot pa rin.
07:52Ito ang unang balita.
