00:00Political science Leandro Leviste and Ryan Recto clash at the House of Representatives after Leviste alleges Recto's parents are corrupt.
00:08Leviste, the 1st District Representative of Batangas, claims CWS Representative and suspected political contractor Edwin Guardiola
00:15funded the campaign of Recto's mother and Batangas Governor Vilma Santos Recto in the 2025 elections.
00:21He insinuates this was for political favors.
00:24Kung baliw man ako, at least hindi ako magnanakaw.
00:30Tila affected si Recto sa mga post ko tungkol sa kanya at si Congressman Edwin Guardiola.
00:37Kung lehitimo man ito, mabuti at maging transparent si Secretary Recto sa kanyang yaman.
00:42At kung ang ginagastos ni Cong Guardiola para sa kampanya nila ay may kaugnayan sa pagiging contractor ni Guardiola sa
00:52Batangas.
00:52Leviste also says he was invited to join a scheme where Recto's father, Executive Secretary Ralph Recto, would use his
00:59cabinet post to profit from public works projects.
01:02Ryan Recto, the Batangas 6th District Representative, refutes Leviste's allegations against his father.
01:07On the alleged ties between Congressman Edwin Guardiola and Executive Secretary Ralph Recto, their association is purely professional as Congressman
01:17Guardiola is also a member of the House of Representatives and a fellow Batanggenyo.
01:25There are no personal interests involved, but only a shared commitment to fulfill their duties to their constituents.
01:32The House later approves a motion to strike Leviste's speech from the record.
01:37Meantime, Secretary Recto flips the script and claims it was Leviste who allegedly tried to bribe him with 400 million
01:43pesos and then 1 billion pesos for political favors in the 2025 elections.
01:48Secretary Recto also calls Leviste a bitter brat who is prone to tantrums.
