00:00For months, I chose silence because I believed in our legal system and in the rule of law.
00:05But my silence is now being exploited with politically engineered and fabricated narratives.
00:10What's even more disturbing, and this is something that cannot be ignored,
00:13is that there are emerging indications that certain sectors are attempting to weaponize individuals,
00:19including Zaldico, to construct a narrative that serves their own interests.
00:24So when the legal processes is being used against me as a political demolition job,
00:30then I will have no choice but to defend myself, and I will defend myself fully.
00:34I will not allow myself to be turned into the scapegoat so that others who are actually accountable can walk
00:41away clean.
00:42If this is a political play to push me out and close the story, tarnishing my name and my reputation,
00:48then I am telling everyone now, I will not go quietly and I will not go alone.
00:54I will not be the fall guy for other people's corruption.
00:57I have been in public life long enough, I have seen enough, I have heard enough.
01:03I know many things about this current administration and past administrations as well.
01:08And I say this carefully.
01:11If this matter is to be handled as a legal issue,
01:14then let it be handled legally, soberly, and according to evidence.
01:19But if certain people insist on waging this in the court of public opinion,
01:23then I will have no choice but to defend myself publicly as well.
