00:00Well, it's a personal reason. I have to take care of my health and take care of my family.
00:08The party list is still deliberating internally kung sino ang ipapalit but rest assured it will undergo process and capable
00:16ng papalit sa akin.
00:17Ang second nominee is George Alino. He is from Olongapo but we're still waiting for the deliberations ng party namin.
00:27Kung may rumor kasi na lumabos sa social media a few weeks ago na si Enmer Catulpos daw ang papalit,
00:33is this true or do you address any of these rumors?
00:36That's also a possibility. We'll just wait for the party decision but I trust yung party decision namin will be
00:42fair.
00:43For context lang po, sino po si Enmer Catulpos sa party nino?
00:46Siya po yung chairman ng party namin. Siya rin po ang main supporter po natin through brigada.
00:54Wala po, wala po. Our vote po was just following the direction of the majority and yun po kasi yung
01:00party decision namin to follow the majority.
01:03Wala po?
01:04On my end, wala naman. Wala naman. It's really a personal reason.
01:09Well, to be honest, wala akong natanggap. I was absent yesterday when it was announced.
01:13So, as to the rumors that we received 20 million cash, that's not fake news po.
01:18Wala po ako kahapon. I was in the Senate trying to observe the impeachment process.
01:23I've been getting dizzy the past few months po.
01:26Maybe I think because I never stopped campaigning starting October of 2024.
01:31And even nakaupo po tayo, I think makikita naman natin sa social media post ko na
01:36I go to at least two provinces every week to ensure na we address the concerns of yung mga nagsuporta
01:42po sa amin.
01:43Sir, is that one you mentioned?
01:44Siya po yung chairman po ng ating party list.
01:46Was your name yes vote ninyo?
01:48Yes po. There was an internal discussion po on what the vote will be.
01:51And the party list decided to vote yes po for the impeachment.
01:55The main consideration po ng party list namin was to see what is the explanation and to see what really
02:04happened sa mga accusation po.
02:06Well, medyo torn, no? Kasi syempre, I have been working with NGOs and helping people since 2009.
02:14And mahirap, but at the same time, I have to take care of myself then in order to take care
02:19of other people.
02:20Well, there's no decision yet. We're waiting for the party list to decide on who will really replace.
02:25As you know, sampu yung nominees doon and magde-deliberate sila kung sino ang nababagay na ipapalit po sa akin.
02:32Bakit hindi yung second nominee, sir?
02:34That I don't know pa kasi magde-deliberate pa lang sila.
02:37And we're just waiting for the deliberations.
03:09We're just waiting for the deliberations.
03:10We're just waiting for the deliberations.
