00:00the matrix, on the first point of observation that I'm making.
00:05It's about the fact that I don't have to pay or declare or report
00:13cash in bank or cash on hand from 2019 to 2024.
00:20But the first one, there are also reports of cash on hand or cash in bank.
00:28So, mali ho atang matrix yung nakalagay dyan.
00:33Yung dapat po makita natin, yung matrix na pinapakita
00:37na wala na nga ng mga report na cash on hand from 2019.
00:46Yes, it's there ho pala.
00:49So, from 2019 to 2024, wala na pong cash on hand or cash in bank.
00:56Para sa akin po, ang biglaan at tuloy-tuloy na pagkawala ng deklarasyon ng liquid assets.
01:05Because cash on hand and cash in bank are liquid assets.
01:09Sa kabila ng dati, meron naman na mga halaga ng mga cash on hand, cash in bank,
01:16ay nagdudulot ng pagdududa sa kawastuhan at kabuoan ng subsequent sal-ends ni VP Sara.
01:22Second point of observation, Madam Chair, tungkol naman po sa liabilities.
01:29Nakita rin po natin na as to liabilities,
01:32VP Sara declared 6,954,454 in 2016.
01:42Nandiyan ho ba yan yung liabilities?
01:51At sa 2017 naman, liabilities of 6,313,188 in 2017.
02:07At sa 2019 naman po ay 3,460,790.
02:15And 2,490,105,90 in 2020.
02:23Kapansin-pansin po na mula 2021,
02:28tanging ang kanyang asawa na si Manese Scarpio.
02:32Nagre-reflect ho ba yan dyan?
02:34Natanging yung kanyang asawa na si Manese Scarpio
02:38ang may dineklarang mga liabilities at wala nang iniulat na utang o liability ni VP.
02:45Mako-confirm ho ba yan?
02:48Your Honor, I'm reading from the 2021 sale and submitted by the Vice President.
02:53And it is stated there that the liabilities was a personal loan
02:58from various creditors po by Attorney Manese Scarpio.
03:04Yes.
03:04How about on the part of VP Sara herself?
03:07Meron pa ho ba ng mga riniport na liabilities in 2016, 2017?
03:12No, I'm sorry.
03:13Beginning in 2021, meron ho ba riniport na liabilities?
03:21Let me check your Honor with regard to the 2022 sale and of the Vice President.
03:34Based on the submitted 2022 sale and of the Vice President,
03:37the liabilities declared therein was a personal loan of Manese Scarpio.
03:48That's all your Honor for the 2022?
03:50Manese Scarpio.
03:51How about 2022?
03:53So no VP, no Sara Duterte.
03:56For the 2023 sale and your Honor, based on the submitted sale and by the Vice President,
04:06the liabilities declared therein was a personal loan of Manese Scarpio, your Honor.
04:12Again, of Manese Scarpio and not Sara Duterte.
04:162024, please.
04:23For the 2024 sale and your Honor, reading from the submission of the Vice President,
04:30the liabilities were declared to be loans of Manese Scarpio, only your Honor.
04:39Again, only Manese Scarpio and not Sara Duterte.
04:42Observation with respect to this, for the record, Madam Chair,
04:46ang ganitong biglang pagbabago sa paraan ng pag-uulat ng liabilities
04:50ay lubhang kahinahinala at nararapat siya sa atin.
04:54As it may indicate reclassification.
04:56Louder Honorable Delima, please.
04:57Ang ganito pong pagbabago sa paraan ng pag-uulat ng liabilities ay lubhang kahinahinala at nararapat siya sa atin.
05:06As it may indicate reclassification or possible circumvention of full disclosure requirements.
05:14One last point of observation, pagdating naman po sa net worth.
05:19Sa pinakita po kanina, we can again show po the matrix.
05:23Please flash the matrix.
05:24The respondents declared net worth increased from 34,895,997 in 2016
05:41to 71,658,841 in 2022, the year she assumed the office of vice president.
05:55Sa loob lamang ng dalawang taon, ito ay lalo pang umakyat sa 88,512,370.22 noong 2024.
06:08Observation po, ang ginitong mabilis at medyo malaking pagtaas ng yaman,
06:14with the absence of declared liquid assets and the diminution or transfer of liabilities,
06:20ay nagbubunsod ng seryoso rin pagdududahing gills of veracity, transparency and integrity
06:26of the vice president's financial disclosures.
06:30So those are my observations with respect to the salens.
06:35Maraming salamat po.
06:36The observation.
06:41This is all.
06:47The observation.
06:48You
