03:24and keeping the administration focused on delivering stability, opportunity, and security to Filipino families.
03:32The Office of the President assures the public that all agencies will continue to operate without interruption and with the same commitment to effective governance and public service.
03:44Yan po ang anunsyo sa araw na ito.
03:50Nabanggit niyo po, the Secretaries tendered their resignations out of Delicadesa para po maimbisigahan,
04:00ang dapat naimbisigahan after they were mentioned dito po sa flood control anomaly.
04:04Alam ko po, sinabi ng Pangulo, he does not want to dignify the accusations made by former Congressman Zaldico,
04:13pero hindi ho may kakaila na seryoso ang aligasyon ito, at may mga nagdududa kung hindi man naniniwala.
04:22Paano ho balak mag-proceed ng Pangulo moving forward from this?
04:28Hindi po natin masasabi na ang mga aligasyon ni Zaldico ay seryoso.
04:34Makikita po natin sa kanyang mga sinabi at sa mga pictures na kanyang pinakita.
04:38Pero kung anuman ang kanyang mga nasabi ay maaaring ito ang nagbigay ng dahilan para sa dalawang mga magigiting natin mga Secretaries
04:47na sila mismo ang voluntaryong mag-resign sa kanilang posisyon para mabigandaan ang malalimang pag-iimbestiga sa mga ma-anumalyang flood control projects.
04:56Ang sabi po ng Pangulo, walang exempted sa investigasyon. Does that statement also apply to him?
05:03Of course, wala naman talagang dapat na exempt. Pero ang Pangulo, alam niya po ang kanyang ginagawa,
05:09alam niya po kung bakit niya pinaimbestigahan at pinangunahan ang malalimang pag-iimbestiga na ito.
05:15So ibig sabihin po, kung siya mismo ang nag-utos na mag-imbestiga, alam po natin na malinis ang kanyang hangarin at gusto niya talagang masawata ang korupsyon.
05:26Sunod na tanong mula kay Tristan Nadalo, Nul Swasplash.
05:30Hi, Yusek. Good evening po.
05:32Yusek, sabi niyo po may nag-resign si Secretary Bersamin and Amena Pangandaman.
05:38Is this also a similar challenge to other cabinet members to also submit their resignation if they feel like they're involved in this flood control anomalies?
05:48And can the public expect another cabinet reshuffle in the coming weeks or months?
05:53Kung alam po, halimbawa po ng isang miyembro ng gabinete na siya po ay may kinalaman o maaari siyang masangkot sa gintong klaseng anomalya,
06:02na naisip po ng Pangulo na sila po mismo ang mag-resign out of delicadesa.
