00:00Hi sir. Any statement sa pagharap niya sa ICI?

00:05Voluntarily, humarap po tayo dito sa ICI para makipagtulungan sa investigation.

00:10Nang sa ganun, pabigyan din tayo ng pagkakataon na maklear yung maying natin sa allegations laban sa atin.

00:17Sir, ba't tayo nag-request ng executive session?

00:20Para po mas maprotektahan dahil baka magkaroon po ng judgment by publicity.

00:27At baka meron po tayong mga sensitive mong masabi sa ICI na hindi muna kinakilangan lumabas sa publiko para hindi makaabala sa investigation na isa.

00:40Sir, how do you answer yung allegation ng magkasawa?

00:42Sir, ikat muna natin ha, umuulan lang.

00:45How do you answer the allegation sir?

00:47Siguro po, antayin na lang po natin yung magiging findings ng ICI.

00:52At sa palagay ko po, sa kanila po tayo dapat sumagod patungkol sa allegation ng magkasawa.

00:56Why?

00:57Why?

00:58Una sa lahat, wala akong katotohanan yun.

01:00Naglabas na po ako ng official statement nung araw pa lang nung September 8 na pinanggit nila ito sa ICI.

01:07Pero ba ikaw na daw eh?

01:09I mean, of all the problems?

01:10Patunayan po nila.

01:12Pero kung huwag executive session, di ba lumabas kayo sa live stream para i-out in the open ninyo yung mga ano, matatakot kayo yung magsalita na may lumabas.

01:21Are you scared of something sir?

01:22Sir, ma'am hindi po tayo nagtatakot.

01:25Ang iniiwasan lang po natin ay meron mga sensitivo na informasyon na lumabas na hindi pa napapanahon.

01:35May mga kakalag ka kayong tatanggitin kaya hindi pwedeng i-right stream.

01:39Siguro po.

01:40Pong house sensitive are this information?

01:43Ano po ba? Nakasira po ba? Nakadestroy po ba sa ibang mga ano?

01:47Siguro po sa ibang pagkakataong po.

01:55Pusang loob na humarap sa nahaharap sa ICI para sa nasabing investigasyon.

02:01Para po sagutin yung mga aligasyon laban sa atin at ikit sa lahat para makipagtulungan sa isinasagawang investigasyon ng ICI.

02:12Maraming salamat po.

02:16Just to fight it, but until now, since September 8, wala po talaga.
