00:00The President not only believes in the rule of law, he embraces it.
00:04Hence, he will let due process follow its course and not put his thumb on the scale
00:08over the impeachment complaints filed against him of late.
00:12Our Kenneth Paschenta has more to include the President's firstborn,
00:15an Ilocos-Norten lawmaker voluntarily recusing himself from taking part whatsoever in the complaints.
00:23President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. respects the development surrounding the impeachment complaints filed against him.
00:29Malacanang said, the President will not interfere in whatever actions the Congress deems proper to take regarding the complaints.
00:37This was the Palaces' response after the lower house referred the complaints to the House Committee on Justice.
00:42Ginagalang po ng Pangulo kung anuman po ang mga activities ginagawa at mga desisyon po ng House of Representatives.
00:50So hayaan po natin ang proseso na umandar, na naaayon sa batas.
00:54Malacanang also said that the move is an attack on the administration,
00:57especially with the image of the entire country at stake.
01:00However, the Palace said that whatever Congress may require, the President is ready to cooperate.
01:05Still, it's stressed that these complaints will not stop the President from doing his job.
01:10In a way, yes.
01:12Dahil sabi po natin, ang anumang pagsasampa ng impeachment complaint ay hindi lang ang Pangulo maapektoan,
01:18kundi mismo ang bansa at ang ekonomiya.
01:20Unang-una po, itong mga impeachment complaint na naisampa laban sa Pangulo ay hindi po mapapahinto,
01:27hindi po mapapatigil ang Pangulo sa patuloy niyang pagtatrabaho para iangat ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino.
01:32Kung kinakailangan po at sinasabi na dapat na magbigay ng anumang dokumento,
01:39muli ang Pangulo po ay gumagalang sa proseso.
01:42Meanwhile, Malacanang commended the move of House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos
01:46to inhibit himself from all impeachment proceedings.
01:48The Palace said,
01:49this simply shows the character and decency of the legislator in doing what is proper.
01:54Hindi po nakikialam ang Pangulo sa mga anumang aksyon na gagawin ng kanyang anak
01:57dahil ang alam po niya, kailangan lamang pong tumpad ng kanyang anak sa mandato.
02:02Bilang public servant, alam po ni Congressman Marcos
02:05kung ano po ang sinasabi ng batas at ano po ang dapat niyang gawin.
02:10Meanwhile, Malacanang chose not to respond to the statement of Batangas 1st District Representative Leandro Leviste
02:15who claimed that the country is under de facto martial law.
02:18The Palace also pointed out that there is no harassment being done against its critics.
02:23Kung may mga kritiko, makikita naman po natin,
02:25panay-panay ang pag-akusa,
02:29pagbibigay ng mga masasakit na salita
02:31na walang katotohanan kay Pangulo.
02:33Pero ang Pangulo mismo ay hindi po nagsasampan ng kaso.
02:37Kung lumalabag po sa batas
02:38ang sino mang mga nagsasalita
02:41o may ginagawang aksyon,
02:42nararapat lamang po na sila ay makasuhan
02:45dahil po may batas na umiiral sa atin.
