Join us as we look into the developments surrounding the graft charges filed against former Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in April 2025—filed just weeks before the May elections and later dismissed by the Ombudsman for lack of probable cause.

#BeyondTheHeadlines
Transcript
02:40We're right back.
03:02Actually, initially, because we had our very first CFBJ Fun Run last year that was part of the Cebu Press Freedom Week.
03:16I've actually heard that in Cebu City, it's turning out to be the fun run capital of the Philippines, mainly because there's always a run every Sunday, every week.
03:44That's why it moved to November 8th. So for this particular run, what differentiates this from the usual runs that Cebu is having almost every weekend?
03:58It's actually basically the same. The thing here is…
04:01Muran na gidgi hapon.
04:02Yes.
04:03Ano na gidgi sa itong uban nga kauban sa buhat kanina kaya nagsigimhogtuyok sa ito ang mga kaubanan po ang mga news outlets.
04:11Fun nga nga nga, lagi ko nung kailangan di magmugot o magmudagan.
04:15Yes, it's not like this, I'm going to pull out.
04:22No, kidding aside.
04:24This is for the benefit of our media personnel in Cebu.
04:31For this CFPJ, we have more than 100 members.
04:35We have more than 100 members of our media, like the City Hall, Charm.
04:47The Capitol, our car.
04:49The E-Group.
04:54So, we have more than 12 members of our club including online journalism.
04:58Our director, Coan.
05:00Dwight Torres.
05:02So, it's an open book.
05:08It's an open book.
05:10I don't have any correspondence.
05:13There's no benefits.
05:16There's no security of tenure.
05:18So, that's why it's a way of helping them.
05:21By means of if there's a medical emergency,
05:25or if there's a medical emergency,
05:29so there's assistance.
05:31For the benefit of a better appreciation to our viewers,
05:37what were the success stories of the assistance that were made in the past after the first run?
05:44Daghantag na.
05:45Before it's the first run,
05:50there were some activities for a cause that were made in the CFPJ,
05:54including our shoot for a cause.
05:56So, we partnered with different government officials or government organizations.
06:03So, the Kanisha,
06:04it's not just a year,
06:06but at least it's a sustainable fund for our members.
06:10So,
06:11Daghantag na.
06:12Daghantag na.
06:13Daghantag na.
06:14Daghantag na.
06:15Daghantag na.
06:16Daghantag na.
06:17Daghantag na.
06:18Daghantag na.
06:19Daghantag na.
06:20Daghantag na.
06:21Daghantag na.
06:22Daghantag na.
06:23Daghantag na.
06:24Daghantag na.
06:25Daghantag.
06:26Daghantag na.
06:27Daghantag na.
06:28Daghantag na.
06:29Ma-tapal-tapal.
06:30Daghantag.
06:31Daghantag na.
06:32Daghantag.
06:33Okay.
06:34Diliment na ng media organizations na ay provision for health insurance.
06:38So, kanag yung masakit...
06:41Masakit, sambaya ni sila
06:42ikaw kung may balik, balik, bu'n go cover sa linya.
06:45Kaayo.
06:46Inito gulan.
06:47Mental health.
06:48Kanag siya ngang mga kuanyan.
06:49Sao na lang kung wala na yung mo-report DJ?
06:51Diba?
06:52Okay, sure ta,
06:52mga content creators,
06:54the vloggers din na sila
06:55mo-cover aning mga inaani nga
06:56labawg at kinahanglan sa mga tao.
06:59Ang saktong nga information.
07:01Sige, sige.
07:02The context of the question
07:04because
07:04namagod to'y run for a benefit
07:07for a good cause in the past
07:09na medyo nabash siya ba
07:11because of the lack of
07:14laka tong pan o guan.
07:15Yes.
07:16So that's why I wanted
07:17that expectation to be set.
07:19Okay, basi niyang some people
07:20they just go there for that.
07:21Loot bags.
07:22Sa nga nga mo-oog ka ng hotdog
07:24ang pan.
07:25Oh, basi niyang they just go there
07:27for the loot bags.
07:27No, but I think
07:28when you join a fan run,
07:30it's not about,
07:30it's not even about the jersey,
07:33maybe for souvenir,
07:34but it's not,
07:35it's called fan run.
07:37Yes.
07:38Di ba?
07:38Pero I'm sure
07:39huwak man ito'y problema
07:40last year when
07:41we organized sila.
07:43Daghan man ganit siguro.
07:44Daghan.
07:44Daghan to.
07:45It was a good turnout
07:46and I hope this year

19:48nying
25:47because maybe the governor is also saying there's just so many things that we need to do
25:54for the next three years and then why would we start something no why don't we just focus on the
26:01priorities which is also so I think it's good for again the two of them to sit down and to be
26:11aligned so but you know there's there's no monopoly of idea and if this is for me if this is good for
26:28Cebu why not as to prioritize only and I think the other one also and it applies to both parties
26:40to to to have regular conversation because at the end of the day they are both important leaders in the
26:49province again rather than more issue and then what to bug for and isa through the media because that
26:55also delays the conversation you have to take off yeah the colors and just work for Cebu
27:09and and and and just like how we resolve can I'm not oversimplifying it but more like it would
27:18help to have that mindset bang pick up the phone and talk to each other
27:21simple correct
27:36correct
27:41if real ang atong intention especially pagidgaron because once everything is fed naba through social
27:48media for example it also agitates people to comment about it and it adds to the stress
27:57so just like this one side both of them can actually sit down and defer making comments
28:12in my opinion rather than
28:17one party and one party publicly and then the rest of the
28:21Cebuanos becomes polarized
28:23no on over something no that's not even clear yet
28:26no that's not even clear yet
28:28na kainumdung ko ana sa
28:30nasaba mangyudni ang
28:32point of view ni attorney regal oliva
28:34regarding aning ano
28:36you know what na na ano kay ko ni regal
28:38kay ni attorney regal kay ni apologize
28:40siya for those people nga wak na kauyon
28:42but iagidgi stress dj it doesn't mean kung wak ka kauyon i'm a bad person
28:50atong angay hinumduman mga higala
28:53na ang kaning mga platforms nga inani is for us to engage
28:57in a healthy and intelligent discussion
29:01it doesn't mean nga wak may nagkasinabot ni dj sa among
29:05point of view i don't like you
29:07di ba
29:09maumanggod na ang behavior sa
29:13sa
29:15social media ba nga
29:17if wala ganit ka mo agree sa akong punto
29:19ugdili ganit ka supporter
29:21like for example ni dutorte
29:23kontrata
29:25siguro yung ana
29:27and then especially now nga na na yung social media
29:29and then democratize na ang
29:31kuwan ba ang discussion
29:33it's important for us to be
29:35reminded that
29:37we are talking like for example in
29:39the case of katong kang attorney
29:41regal no
29:43nga
29:45particular topic
29:47ang nahita bo
29:49nahi mo na siyang personality
29:51person ba
29:53yeah i think more and more people should be more mindful
29:55when we do that
29:57we all have a
29:59so that means
30:01when we attack
30:03person regardless
30:05and instead of focusing on the actual discussion
30:07dihan na na magkainit
30:09and those type of discussions
30:11will never ever
30:13reach into something
30:15that's better for both parties
30:17so
30:19it's more of latin
30:21but
30:23no
30:25let's avoid attacking the messenger
30:27but let's talk about
30:29the message
30:31what's being discussed
30:33matter
30:35it is
30:37it is
30:39it is
30:41it is
30:42it is
30:43marun sa na sa mga
30:45in your story, but remember,
30:47your story is to give it out.
30:49Go through a process.
30:51It's not something that's hard to say
30:52when you return to your story.
30:54So, it's not that it's that it's that it.
30:55And yesterday, we spoke
30:58about rights.
31:00One of the unforgettable
31:02statements that in my
31:04minor subject, because I'm an engineer,
31:06which is Paul Sy, is also
31:08about democracy, which is related
31:10to this. It's your example,
31:12I may not exactly agree
31:14with what you are saying,
31:17but I will protect your
31:18right to be able to say
31:21it. To express it.
31:22Correct.
31:23I really want you to shut up.
31:27Because I don't agree with you.
31:28But that's not the case.
31:31Narcissist is the right
31:32to be able to say it, right?
31:34So, I will not agree
31:36with what you're saying, but I will protect
31:38your right to say it.
31:40I will listen, right? I think the moment
31:42he's a decent act,
31:43in a civilized world.
31:46He's a very good part.
31:47Because he's not a good part.
31:49He'll laugh.
31:49So, he will laugh.
31:51There's a story
31:52where he's going to keep it.
31:53So, he's a lesson.
31:55He's a good part,
31:57he is a good part.
32:00He's a good part.
32:01He's a good part.
32:01My right and...
32:03When my right begins.
32:04Yes. So, everybody not, kung unsa'y imong katungod, same imong katungod sa imong tapad.
32:10So, you have to respect that.
32:13So, padayon ta sa kaso ni Gov Gwen.
32:16Okay. Which was in our intro.
32:18Yeah, kanin siya. Tanaw na po, no?
32:20Kung maunit pinaka-pass-pass nagibuhat sa ombudsman.
32:25Kung unsa sila ka-pass-pass ni issue o preventive suspension, may na lang.
32:30Pass-pass na silang ni take action.
32:32Okay. Just kanang context lang.
32:35Context.
32:36Kanin kaso ni Governor Gwen nga gidismiss karun sa ombudsman?
32:40Has something to do with usak kahitabo ni atong May 2024.
32:4524.
32:46Nga inomdum mo mga hegal lang, there was El Nino.
32:50So, sa El Nino, kwan siya, state of emergency.
32:53Kanang mag-inana ba?
32:54So, ni issue si Gov na ipadisilt ang man na nga.
32:58Kahit problema na sa tubig.
32:59River in Talisay.
33:01Talisay.
33:02Ang nahitabo,
33:05di pa, di pa.
33:06Operate siya, not because of us.
33:08There was a misappreciation ba nga.
33:11Special permit.
33:12Di-clarify ni Gov,
33:13nga dilip man to siya, special permit.
33:15It was because of the El Nino.
33:17Maotong wala nakakuha o ECC for the extraction.
33:22Kay kinhanglan man na siya, DG.
33:24So, this ECC is actually, for the viewers, the Environmental Compliance Certificate, which could have been necessary at that.
33:34Katong the other party said, because it's a protection for the environment.
33:40On a normal, regular circumstance, di li ka maka-extract the silt o minerals without an Environmental Compliance Certificate.
33:51But in this case, nag-declare man si Gov o State of Calamity on May 23, 2024.
33:58And I think what this case is also important to our viewers, but not just the resolution.
34:07Because this is also going to set a precedence.
34:11Because I think what you were referring to is the doctrine of necessity.
34:15Yes.
34:16So, unisamang ganday na.
34:17There are rules, there are regulations and policies for the normal extraction.
34:24But in that case, nakamagod siya ay,
34:26Mura ba o pareha ba sa naitabo sa Northern Cebu?
34:30There was an earthquake.
34:31So, State of Emergency, ang procurement,
34:35kung palit sila mga butang, di na muagi o bidding.
34:37Pwede na yun o ka ng,
34:39palit lang ta, diretso ba?
34:41Kay emergency man, o magbiding pa ta, DG.
34:44By the time na palit na itong bugas,
34:45three months after, what na, namarug ng mga tao,
34:48panapas muna, kanina na ba?
34:49So, that was what the governor was actually invoking,
34:52the doctrine of necessity.
34:54Yes.
34:55Because the province is actually facing an emergency.
35:00A crisis, a water crisis at the time.
35:01Yes.
35:02So, maoto nga,
35:04base ato niya,
35:05ang ombudsman nakita nga,
35:06wa sila'y nakitang enough probable cause,
35:10pasabotan ng probable cause,
35:12huwag igong rason,
35:14o alleged violation,
35:15para i-indict or i-kiha
35:17si Governor Garcia o graft
35:20for katong proceed atong desulting
35:24without complying.
35:26The other thing po na to,
35:28which I think we brought up yesterday,
35:30is also observation lang,
35:33it may or may not have the merit
35:35with respect to the case,
35:37but also the observation ba on the timing?
35:39Okay, the issue was actually,
35:44so the permit in question was actually issued on May of 2024,
35:51but the actual complaint was raised just months before the election.
35:56A year after.
35:57A year after.
35:59So, Murag,
36:00So, April 2025 na,
36:02which is approaching May na ta.
36:04Mag-magosan na katuig,
36:06kung man ang alleged violations nito.
36:08Correct.
36:09So, maopuntun, Murag,
36:10I think we covered that yesterday nga,
36:11there seems to be a pattern ba.
36:13Kanang weaponizing,
36:14the ombudsman on mga inani nga mga butang.
36:18And na-dismiss ra ba, no?
36:19So, Murag,
36:21in the context,
36:22Murag,
36:22the damage has been done.
36:24That was,
36:25nag-ungot na ang elections at to date.
36:28Instead,
36:28siguro nga makapangkampanya si Yawa,
36:31na busy siya,
36:31o sige,
36:32atin man na niyang katong iyang preventive suspension.
36:36And then,
36:36nakita sa,
36:37sa ombudsman nga,
36:40there was no evident bad faith.
36:43Walay,
36:43cannot be appreciated.
36:45So,
36:45ang Mananga River is a protected area
36:47with the purview of NIPAS,
36:49kanang protected,
36:50kanang national integrated protected area system.
36:55Nga,
36:55katu,
36:55momuntoy ilang gikuwan sa complainant,
36:58nag-violate lagi siya,
36:59o kanang mga environmental laws
37:01for proceeding with the desilting,
37:05wala pa na,
37:05wala yung clearance.
37:07Pero katu siya,
37:08walang gito nga,
37:10it was an state of emergency.
37:13So,
37:14mo nang na-dismiss
37:15ang kaso ni Go.
37:18So,
37:19mauna siya.
37:20Mauna siya.
37:21So,
37:22there was,
37:22walay nakitang probable cause
37:24ang ombudsman
37:25para ma-indict
37:26si Governor Garcia
37:27for graft and corruption.
37:30And I think siguro,
37:30Murag,
37:31this is for the general public ba?
37:32Kay Murag,
37:33we just covered,
37:34Bansad na,
37:35kanang if there are alleged violations,
37:37the public should,
37:38kanang speak up.
37:39In the case of this,
37:41I think it works better
37:42kung the timing is also,
37:43kanang immediate,
37:44kani?
37:44Okay,
37:45para dili siya ma-model
37:47into politics.
37:49Siya,
37:49mainginan ba nga nagamit ni
37:51or unsan?
37:51Okay,
37:52this is still May of 2024.
37:54And then,
37:55ang complaint,
37:56April of 2025 na.
37:58Medyo layo na kaayo.
37:59Ugsison palagi,
38:01naabta na steng uwan.
38:03Nilampas na steng uwan.
38:04Pag April,
38:05ting init na po guttog balik.
38:07So,
38:07kanalang siya.
38:08I think,
38:09ang timing ba sa pag-file,
38:11if it was really a legit,
38:13legit magigit siya,
38:15kanilipal,
38:15good siya.
38:15But if it was really
38:16a legitimate concern.
38:17That's just a concern
38:19on the timing.
38:19It was,
38:20oh,
38:20gipwail on that to,
38:21right after nakakommit si Gov
38:23sa violation.
38:25Alleged ka ng commission.
38:27Kay,
38:27makita pa niya mo nga,
38:28uy,
38:29waday ni-follow si Gov.
38:30Dili pa siya mabutangan
38:31o caller sa politics.
38:33Diba?
38:34So,
38:35nabantayan na to
38:36last election.
38:37Dagan ka yung suspension.
38:39So,
38:39muna,
38:39magduwaduhan na ta
38:40sa integrity
38:41and credibility
38:42of the ombudsman nga,
38:44kanang,
38:45unsa ba ni siya?
38:46Tinuray ba gidni?
38:47Nga nung,
38:47mabisi man ni siya
38:48kung ting eleksyon.
38:49And we've been talking
38:50about being strategic,
38:52no?
38:52But this is the sad part
38:54of being strategic.
38:56Grabe mo,
38:56giniklaro nga strategic
38:58for against one person.
39:00Oo.
39:01So,

40:12So,

40:13nga di siya

40:14Pero,
40:14klaro-klaro naman
40:15nga di siya
40:16magpa-interview
40:16upon the advice
40:17of the lawyers.
40:19So,
40:20kaya na na.
40:21Mga higala,
40:21maghuwata sa
40:23action nga buha to
40:24ni Governor
40:25Pambaricwatro,
40:26ngayong ipatawag
40:27karong October 28,
40:30para magkita sila nga to.
40:32For other,
40:33for katuloy yung
40:33mga government agencies
40:35who did not
40:37kanang respond
40:38with urgency.
40:40Kaya na lang.
40:41Kini-action man,
40:43ang disoad ni-action man,
40:44pero
40:44unso may g-answer
40:46sa action.
40:47Correct.
40:47And considering ba nga,
40:49there's really
40:50a lot of
40:52complaints already
40:53and it look like
40:55they,
40:56it look like,
40:57no,
40:57they were left
40:58on their own.
41:00And they have
41:00approached
41:01NBI,
41:02police,
41:03the LGU,
41:04DSOD,
41:05HSAC,
41:06no,
41:06they have approached
41:07so many.
41:08But it look like
41:09gipasa-pasa lang sila.
41:11Atong hinumduman,
41:12nga majority
41:13sa mga nabiktima
41:14are overseas
41:15Filipino workers.
41:17ang ating
41:18mga bagong
41:19bayani.
41:20Is this the way
41:21we treat
41:22our heroes?
41:23And then the
41:24other thing
41:25also is
41:26they are
41:27vulnerable
41:28in that context.
41:30Hindi man sila maka,
41:31due diligence,
41:32kaya toman sila
41:33sa layo.
41:34So more
41:34protection should
41:36also be given
41:37to them
41:38considering that
41:38we already know
41:39that they're
41:40vulnerable
41:40to things
41:41like this.
41:42So with that,
41:44that wraps up
41:45this edition
41:46of Beyond the
41:47Headlines.
41:48We hope
