00:00Ex-house lawmaker on the run, Elizaldeco, is running out of time and safe spaces to move freely all about the planet to evade his appointment with destiny.
00:09His latest proposition to the president to nix the cancellation of his passport for a halt in his episodic video exposés fell flat.
00:17Our Kenneth Paciente on the president letting yet another cat out of the bag earlier today.
00:22President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. himself revealed that the Camp of Rezanne representative Zaldico allegedly attempted to blackmail the government regarding the cancellation of the former lawmaker's passport.
00:36Tinapitan po kami ng abogado ni Zaldico at nagtatangkang mag-blackmail na kung hindi po namin kakanselihin daw ang passport niya, hindi na raw siya maglalabas ng video.
00:49However, the chief executive insisted that Ko, who is tagged as one of those behind the alleged anomalous insertions in the 2025 national budget, can no longer escape the law.
01:00I do not negotiate with criminals. Kahit maglabas ka na ng video ng lahat ng kasinungalingan mo na pag-distabilize sa gobyerno, gusto kong malaman mo, Zaldi, makakansila pa rin ang passport mo. Hindi ka na makakatakas sa husnisya.
01:16The president earlier challenged Ko to return to the country and face the allegations against him head-on.
01:22As of now, Ko, along with 15 officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways and representatives of San West Corporation, have warrants of arrest issued against them by the Sandigan Bayan.
01:34They were charged by the Ombudsman with graft and malversation of public funds in connection with the alleged anomalous 289.5 million flood control projects in Oriental Mindoro.
01:45The president also shared that eight more congressmen allegedly involved in corruption and flood control projects have been recommended charged by the Ombudsman based on evidence gathered by the ICI and the DPWH.
01:57Magsusumite po ng ebidensya sa Ombudsman and magrekomenda sila ng kaso ng plunder, anti-graph, bribery, conflict of interest sa walong congressman na may mayare ng mga construction company na may proyekto sa DPWH.
02:15Along with this, the chief executive reported that the freeze order issued by the Anti-Money Laundering Council against those involved in the corruption case has been expanded.
02:24Asama po dito ang mga air assets ni Saldico, ang value mga 4 billion at bukod pa ron, meron po tayong nakuhang 3,566 na bank account, 198 insurance policies, 247 motor vehicles, 178 real properties, 16 na e-wallet account at saka air assets na na-frozen na.
02:51The president emphasized that this is only the beginning of the government's recovery of stolen public funds so these can be returned to the people.
02:59In total, the value of properties frozen by the government in connection with the flood control scandal has now reached 12 billion pesos.
03:07Kene, Pasiente, from the National TV, for a new and better Philippines.
