00:00Senate pro-tempore Senator Panfilo Laxon dropped bombshell during the plenary debates on a 2026 proposed budget.
00:09On the deliberations, Laxon revealed he knows the true story behind the alleged 100 billion insertions to the 2025 General Appropriations Act or GAAA.
00:20He was able to talk to the camp of former DPWH usek Roberto Bernardo and it was made clear that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. had nothing to do with the alleged insertions.
00:31Yung sinasabi ni Saldico on social media as posted na nag-deliver siya ng 25 billion representing the 25% commission, di umano para kay Presidente, that I will attest na hindi totoo.
00:50Yung talaga absolutely untrue or false.
00:54But if not the President, then who?
00:57Laxon said Bernardo was pointing to former government officials who misrepresented the President.
01:03Napag-alaman ko from Undersecretary Bernardo na may mga tao sa Malacanang, not the President, not authorized by the President, who misrepresented him.
01:15Undersecretary Adrian Bersamin, he named up the President, making Saldico believe na utos ng Pangulo na ipasok sa BICAM yung insertions.
01:29Now, Yusek Trigib Olaibar.
01:32Of the 100 billion pesos insertion, only 81 billion went to the DPWH and from the 81 billion, 8 billion went directly to the hands of two former officials.
01:44They made deliveries to an armored car parked at a hotel in Manila.
01:48The largest delivery amounted to 2 billion pesos.
01:51Talagang sabi niya, nag-atid ako ng pera as kickback.
01:55But not to the President, but to Yusek Olaibar.
01:59And sabi niya, ang pag-alam niya, kasama si Yusek Adrian Bersamin.
02:058 billion pesos, Mr. President.
02:09In at least 10 deliveries.
02:10But Senator Wynne Gachalian asked, how did these two officials succeed in convincing people to make budget insertions?
02:19Paano po itong dalawang tao na hindi naman po high level ang kanilang posisyon, na kumbinsiho ang mga mambabatas na mag-insert ng 81 billion pesos po sa BICAM?
02:33Perception, Mr. President.
02:34Sinong hindi man iniwala kapag Bersamin ang nagsabi na utos ni Presidente na mag-insert kayo?
02:40Senator Ping Lakson submitted the handwritten affidavit of Bernardo.
02:44This is believed to have triggered the Cabinet revamp yesterday.
02:48I think Monday, Monday, Mr. President.
02:53Yesterday.
02:55Yesterday.
02:56At 2 p.m.
02:57And thereafter, he asked for the resignations.
03:00He asked for the resignations.
03:02In this case, Mr. President, court is the resignation.
03:05Isha yung permission for firing?
03:08Yusek Trijiv Olaivar and Yusek Adrian Bersamin have yet to comment on Lakson's revelations.
03:15But the senator hoped the President's name will not be used again for personal interest.
03:20You cannot just fool around and misrepresent the President, the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
03:30No matter how kind-hearted he is, let's not take advantage.
