00:00Yes, ma'am.
00:00What do you call the task force?
00:03Wala naman pong official name, but it's a task force to monitor all the threats to the president and to
00:08all other officials in government.
00:10Is that part of your submission also?
00:12Yes, ma'am. Although it's not directed particularly to the Dutertes, but it's directed in general sa lahat po.
00:20But this is an offshoot because of the behavior of the family of Dutertes.
00:24In other words, Director Matibag, the reason why you are considering all these videos, Director Matibag,
00:32is for you to be guided on whether or not threat was actually committed?
00:39As to the press conference of Vice President Dutertes, it's already been established by the Bureau.
00:45It's established already.
00:47Long before I came to the Bureau, nandiyan naman po yung records, the records which speaks for itself,
00:52but that threat, the grave threat and the exciting to sedition are clear.
00:56All the elements were present, nandiyan po, we're just awaiting for the decision of the prosecution.
01:01May we just know for the record, because you mentioned a while ago that there is a follow-up investigation.
01:09May we know the purpose of the follow-up investigation.
01:13If you have resolved already the offense of threat that was committed against the first couple and the former Speaker,
01:23how about the follow-up investigation?
01:26It's an ongoing investigation po.
01:28If you recall, dun po sa video ni Vice President, sinabi niya,
01:32na no joke, dag-air na siya ng assassin.
01:34And we're trying to identify and pinpoint the assassin.
01:39And just to let you know, we have blitzed already.
01:41We have some personalities that we are,
01:45that we are surveillance at sinusundan po namin.
01:48But I have to caution you and immediately say that I apologize that we cannot name the names of those
01:55individuals namin sinusundan,
01:57but we are zeroing on several individuals already,
02:00na maaaring yun po yung kinausap niya doon sa threat na ginawa po niya.
