00:00Ibabase daw ng Office of the Ombudsman sa ebidensya ang pagsasampahan ng kaso lapang kinadating House Speaker Martin Romualdez at dating Congressman Zaldi Coe.
00:10Ito'y matapos nga isumiti sa kanila ng ICI at DPWH ang mga ebidensya para sampahan ng kaso ang dalawa.
00:18Ang detalye sa Sentro ng Balita ni Luisa Erispe, live.
00:21Naomi, posibleng sa lunis pa masilip ng Office of the Ombudsman ang isinumiti sa kanilang mga ebidensya ng Independent Commission for Infrastructure o ICI at Department of Public Works and Highways.
00:36Matapos naman ito ay sa kanila pag-aaralan kung kakailanganin pa ba na mga karagdagang ebidensya o diretso na sa preliminary investigation ang reklamo.
00:45Hihimayin pa ng Office of the Ombudsman ang isinumiti ng ICI na rekomendasyon na makasuhan ng plunder, graft at bribery charges
00:59si na dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez at dating Congressman Zaldi Coe.
01:03Ayon kay Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulia, titignan pa nila kung ano ang laman ng rekomendasyon at kung may sapat bang ebidensya.
01:11We have to look at the contents of the recommendation and the attached documents so we will know how to act on the matter kasi everything is evidence-based.
01:24Sa evaluation, makikita naman nila kung kakailanganin pa ba ng case build-up o preliminary investigation para gumulong ang kaso.
01:34Evaluation muna, titignan na namin yung contents, fact-finding and fact-finding if there are things that are needed para pwede namin i-subject sa preliminary investigation.
01:50Kasi nga, kung hilaw ang kaso, kailangan muna ng case build-up.
01:54Sa nakikita naman ng Ombudsman, posibleng tumagal ng ilang araw o ilang buwan ang pag-usad ng kaso.
02:02Meron ding iba pang dinidinig ngayon ng Ombudsman na 14 o 15 reklamo kaugnay ng flood control projects.
02:10From a few days to a few months, we don't know. Depende yan sa dami ng ebidensya makukuha ka agad.
02:16Siguro 15 cases right now under PI, 14 or 15 cases.
02:19Sa video naman na inilabas ni Zaldico, sinusundan nila ngayon kung may posible bang lead na magagamit sa kanilang investigasyon.
02:29Kasa sa kanila, susunod lang sila sa kung ano man ang ituturo ng mga ebidensya.
02:33Samantala, humarap naman din ang Ombudsman sa budget debate sa Senado ngayong araw.
02:38Nais humingi ng public apology ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta mula sa pagsang-ayon noon ni Ombudsman Rimulya sa tanong na kung pwede raw mabali o bend the law.
02:50Doesn't the public need to be clarified very clearly on this matter, Mr. President?
03:00Our people might be confused by that statement.
03:04That's why I am asking whether he can make a clarification or he can make public apology for saying that, Mr. President.
03:12This is an opportunity for the current Ombudsman to clarify his statements.
03:19And this is actually the clarification that he is expressing to this August body.
03:24That he will abide by the rule of law and he will not bend the law.
03:29Nais pa ipasuspend ni Marcoleta ang rules ng plenaryo para si Rimulya mismo ang magsalita in business si Sen. Wynn Gatchalian na budget sponsor.
03:40Pero matapos pag-usapan ito ng mga senador, natuloy pa rin ang budget debates.
03:46Can I respectfully move that maybe we can suspend our rules?
03:53I want to hear personally the Ombudsman to say it for himself.
03:57Very rarely given way to such a motion to suspend the rules, especially during budget plenary deliberations, with all due respect to Sen. Marco Letta.
04:13So I apologize that it may not be possible also this morning, Mr. President.
04:19Pinaliwanag naman ni Sen. President Vicente Soto III na ang pag-suspend ng debates ay proseso sa plenaryo upang makasagot ng tama ang budget sponsors sa mga tanong na walang kinalaman sa mga panukalang pondo.
04:33The chairpersons of the different committees that are assigned to them, departments and offices that are assigned to them, at times, their answers or replies take time.
04:48Yeah, because they have studied the budget of the different departments and offices that they are sponsoring.
04:57They have, you ask them anything about the budget, they will be able to answer.
05:01But when you start asking them about other things other than the budget, they will have to talk to the officials concerned.
05:13Naomi, deemed submitted na o pumasad din naman ang pondo o panukalang pondo ng ombudsman dito sa plenaryo sa Senado.
05:23At sinabi naman kanina ni Sen. Luribon Committee Chairman, Sen. Panfilolakson, na isusumiti naman niya sa ombudsman yung mga dokumento na nakalap niya hinggil nga sa ginagawa nilang pagdinig sa flood control projects.
05:41Naomi, marami salamat, Luisa Erisbe.
