00:00Okay, nakausap po natin mismo ang DILG at ang sinabi po nila ang ibig lamang daw pong ipahihwati ni Secretary
00:10John Vic ay DFA ang maaaring makipag-usap state to state patungkol sa maaaring maitulong ng agaran ng nasabing bansa.
00:23Pero ang patungkol po sa operasyon sa Interpol ay nanatili po ito na trabaho po ng law enforcers natin.
00:33At mayroon pong mensahe ang DFA at aking pong babasahin.
00:39The Department of Foreign Affairs notes the recent statements by Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary John Vic
00:48Lemulia on efforts to secure the return of former lawmaker Saldico to the Philippines.
00:53While the DFA values the DILG's collaboration, the DFA clarifies that Mr. Ko's arrest and repatriation involve coordinated law enforcement
01:04and judicial processes, particularly Interpol coordination.
01:09Secretary Lemulia's view that the matter rests solely up to the DFA does not fully capture this whole-of-government
01:17approach, which requires joint action across concerned government agencies.
01:22The DFA reaffirms its commitment to the rule of law and ensuring that Filipino nationals facing legal accountability return to
01:32face due process.
01:33We urge the public to share any information on Mr. Ko's whereabouts to support these efforts.
01:40The DFA stands ready to provide diplomatic assistance within its mandate and in line with established protocols.
01:48End of quote.
01:48Okay, ma'am panghuli na lang po.
01:51Where are we in terms of looking for Zaldico?
01:56Meron po ba tayong bagong detalye na nakuha any update?
02:01Sa ngayon ay wala pa pong na ibibigay sa atin na update.
02:04Muli tatanungin ko rin dito ang DILG patungkol po dyan at ang PCTC kung ano na po ang nangyari sa
02:11nirequest po natin na cooperation from the Interpol.
02:14Thank you, sir.
