00:00It's the day of the 60-day suspension of Cavite 4.
00:05District Representative Kiko Barzaga sa gitna po ng kinakaharap niyang ethics complaints.
00:10Talakain po natin yan at makakasama po natin si House Committee on Ethics.
00:15Magandang umaga!
00:20Magandang umaga po, Ma'am Connie.
00:25At sa lahat ng sumusabay-bay sa ating programa, maraming salamat sa pag-imbita sa akin.
00:30Representative JC, posible ho bang ma-extend pa itong suspensyon ni Representative Kiko?
00:35At this point po, Ma'am Connie,
00:40I cannot agree or disagree with any recommendation kung
00:45sakaling paparusahan po ulit ang ating respondent.
00:50Depende po ito sa mangyayari nating hearing sa parating pong linggo.
00:54I see.
00:55At naku, sabi po ni Representative Kiko Barzaga, and I quote,
00:59I will...
01:00I will be ignoring the summons of the ethics committee.
01:03Reaction niyo po dyan.
01:05Ano ito makakaapekto sa mga inihiain pong ethics complaint laban sa kanya?
01:10Right.
01:11Unang-una po, Ma'am Connie, para sa kaalaman rin po ng...
01:15ating mga kababayan.
01:16Hindi po ang ethics committee ang nagpatawag sa kanya.
01:20Na dumalo sa parating na hiling.
01:22Kung babalikan po natin ang nangyari...
01:25nung nakaraang martes,
01:27nagkaroon po tayo ng members na tumayo.
01:30Ang collective privilege,
01:31and nagkaroon po ng motion sa plenario.
01:34Kung saan?
01:35Inatasan ang ethics committee na magkaroon ng assessment,
01:38and at the same time,
01:39re-require...
01:40why po si respondent na dumalo sa hiling.
01:42So, ang nagpatawag po sa ating respondent...
01:45ay hindi ang ethics committee,
01:46kung hindi ang buong plenario ng kongreso.
01:50Pagpasihan po nito ay ang isang committee report
01:52last December 1 na in-adopt...
01:55ng buong plenario.
01:56Kaya yung initial jurisdiction ng committee on ethics
01:58na turnover na po sa plenario...
02:00kaya inaasahan po namin na mas mainang po na tumalo.
02:05ang ating respondent.
02:06Dahil sa totoo lang po,
02:07he...
02:10respondent could have been disciplined outright
02:12via a motion.
02:13Right.
02:13Instead...
02:15yung members po natin sa congress,
02:16they opted that magkaroon pa po tayo ng hearing.
02:20Kaya po siya pinapatawag.
02:22At dahil nga po dito sa kanyang pronouncement,
02:24na...
02:25parang ayaw niya makipag-cooperate,
02:26ano ko ang posibilidad na mauwi naman sa expulsion?
02:30Nagkakatanggal niya.
02:32Ito po nga si Congressman Barzaga.
02:36Yung sa akin po,
02:37Ma'am Connie,
02:38ayoko pong pangunahan
02:39ang mga complaints.
02:40at ang mga respondent
02:41kung ano yung magaganap.
02:43Kaya on our end po.
02:45sa Committee on Ethics,
02:46dahil inutusan na po kami
02:47ng plenaryo
02:48na magkaroon ng assessment,
02:49nagpadano...
02:50wala pa rin po kami ng notice
02:51sa mga complainant
02:52at sa respondent
02:53kung sakaling pwede...
02:55pwede po silang mag-present
02:56ng additional evidence
02:57at makita po natin...
02:58makita po natin...
03:00ang kanilang defense.
03:01I see.
03:01Pero kung sakasakali naman po
03:03at magbaba...
03:05bago ang ihip ng hangin,
03:06may option bang
03:07may atras yung Ethics sa complaint?
03:10At kung halimbawa,
03:11mag-apologize po itong
03:12si Congressman Bazaga
03:14at this point...
03:15in time?
03:17Honestly, Ma'am Connie,
03:18it was always...
03:20really depend sa appreciation po
03:21ng members ng Ethics Committee
03:23and of course...
03:25plenary na rin as a whole.
03:26Pero historically po,
03:28makikita po natin...
03:30sa kasaysayan ng Kongres
03:32na may mga pagkakataon
03:33kung kailan...
03:35merong member of Kongres
03:36na kumihingi ng paumanhin.
03:38So as per kung ano...
03:40po yung magiging effect po nito,
03:41nakadepende na rin po ito
03:43sa magiging proceedings po natin.
03:45Sabi po ni Akamanggagawa,
03:48partyless representative Erie Sandero...
03:50hindi naman daw maibabalik
03:52ng suspensyon
03:53ni Congressman Kiko Bazaga...
03:55yung credibility
03:55o kredibilidad ng kamera.
03:58Ano po ang reaction nyo naman dyan?
04:00You know, Ma'am Coni,
04:02we have to acknowledge...
04:05At this time,
04:06mababa po ang confidence
04:08sa ating gobyerno.
04:10At narapat lamang po
04:11na gawin ng gobyerno
04:13ang kanyang trabaho
04:14para...
04:15mapanalo po natin ulit
04:16ang tiwala
04:17ng taong bayan.
04:19Yung sakin po...
04:20I want all members
04:21to keep fighting
04:22for the truth.
04:23And that includes...
04:25showing up
04:25when you are being...
04:28to be able to answer.
04:30on the allegations against you.
04:31So, yung sakin po, Ma'am Coni,
04:33I agree with the representative...
04:35Ellie San Fernando
04:36na kailangan po
04:37magtrapaho ang kongreso
