Manila Bulletin

'Kung ganun po yung magiging basehan, ang unang sususpendihin dapat si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano'  Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano should be suspended too for command responsibility over the incident that happened in the Senate on May 13. That is the position of National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) director Melvin Matibag in reaction to the statement of Cayetano urging the Office of the Ombudsman to suspend the former for the alleged attack on the Senate.

00:00Sir, ito po ang kwento.

00:02Ang sinabi, nung sinasperte si Openspan, si Aflaska,

00:08nag-rihat ng pabila yung majority.

00:10Dapat din daw ikaw dahil kayo naging problem.

00:15How do you respond to that?

00:18Okay.

00:19Sipo na namin ako, hindi naman ako gag-digod na nagpaputok ng baril.

00:23Siguro, yung sinasabi, because I'm the head of the NDI,

00:25dapat suspendingin ako dahil kung mag-dispensibility ko yung mga tao.

00:30Daba po ba?

00:31E kung gano'n po yung magiging base,

00:32ano po, nangunang suspendingin, dapat si Sen. Alam ko yung nagtagtalo.

00:36Then kung mag-dispensibility na si Sgt. At in pa,

00:40inaamin ni Sgt. At in pa, sila nag-uusap sa mga pangyayari.

00:44So ako naman po, I'm willing to face any investigation,

00:48kung ano man po, if I will be found na may kasalanan,

00:51I'm willing to serve kung anuman penalty na gagawin po natin.

00:55Ay din alam ni Mamichi yan sa tagal niyang kasama niya ako.

00:59So, sakin po gano'n.

01:01And yun naman, ako pag tinatanong lang, doon lang din po tayo nagpapaliwanag eh.

01:06Dahil gusto ko lang po mag-dispensibility sa tanong ninyo.

01:09And as much as possible sa doktor.

01:11Ayoko na po sanang mag-interview.

01:13I've declined a lot already.

01:14You say, we intend to give it to the committee that was a committee na dinawak,

01:24na binuon ni Secretary Bida.

01:27And the CIDC is there already.

01:29So sila'y mas makakasagot dito.

01:30But your question is something na legal and political somehow.

01:35So ano'ng pinagagalingan?

01:37Siguro pong unresponsibility.

01:38Sabi po ninyo, yun po siguro.

01:40If that is the case, sino po ba unang nagpaputok?

01:43Kung wala naman nagpaputok doon,

01:44baka yun po nag-latrata ng paputok doon.

01:49At siya na po ang recommended possibility kay Sanyad at Arms?

01:55Di ba po?

01:56Who is the head of the Senate right now?

01:58Malangyabi yun ano po.

01:59So along that line ano po.

02:03Siguro ano po.

02:05I hope na ang sasagot ko ito.

02:18Schiaffind.

02:19Teo.

02:19Na ng sasagot ko ito.

02:21Niya.

02:21Ta na na.

02:21Heha.
