00:30May unang balita si Mark Salazar.
00:35Mag-i-inat po kayo. Baka kumamaya kasi totoo yung mga narinig namin or yung, I don't know if it's
00:40true, na meron daw silang Operation Romanovs.
00:44Huwag kang mag-alala ma'am sa security ko kasi may kinuusap na ako na tao.
00:50Muling naongkat ang Operation Romanovs sa impeachment trial sa gitna ng pag-iba ng depensa sa testimonya ni NBI Regional
00:58Director Attorney Jeremy Lotok.
01:00Muling pinalabas ng depensa ang November 23, 2024 online press con ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:07Para iputong ang galit ng Vice ay reaksyon niya sa bantaro sa kanyang buhay.
01:13Ayon kay Lotok, sinubukan nilang investigahan ng banta sa buhay ng Vice at ang sinasabing Operation Romanovs.
01:20Pero hindi ito na-verify ka dahil hindi rin nakipag-coordinate ang kampo ni VP Duterte.
01:25We try to invite Princess Maui to shed light doon sa sinasabi nilang Romanovs.
01:33Since hindi ho nag-appear si Princess Maui, wala ho kaming basis.
01:37So klinasify muna namin ito ng non-validated information.
01:41Ang Romanovs ang pangalan ng pamilya ng huling Tsar ng Russia.
01:45Ipinapatay siya at ang kanyang pamilya noong 1918 na mga revolusyonaryo pagkatapos ng Russian Revolution.
01:51Sa ibinigay na konteksto ng depensa sa paglilitis,
01:56ang Operation Romanovs ay isang plano para patayin ang pamilya ni Vice President Duterte.
02:01Pero nagtataka raw si Sen. Judge Rafi Tulfo dahil si Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte Anya
02:07ang alam niyang unang gumamit ng salitang Romanovs sa isang mensahe sa Pangulo.
02:12It was Baste Duterte ang nabitaw ng salita na yon, warning sa first family.
02:17Hindi ipinalabas sa trial pero sa isang public speech nagsalita si Mayor Duterte noong January 2024.
02:24Just a simple message sa ato ang Pangulo.
02:31From now on, before you go to bed,
02:38think of the Romanovs.
02:42Think of Benito Mussolini and his wife.
02:47And think of what happened to you in 1986.
02:53And maybe you'll reconsider the direction that you are taking.
03:04Until today, when Sen. Judge Rafi Tulfo clarified
03:09na yung palang Oplan Romanovs ay threat against the first family.
03:21Si Sen. Judge Alan Peter Cayetano sinabing maghinay-hinay muna bago isipin pinagbantaan ni Mayor Duterte ang pamilya Marcos.
03:30There's a thin line between a warning and a threat.
03:33Mayor Baste was doing a parallel ng 1986 na paalis yung mga Marcoses via a revolution.
03:39Ang Romanovs, inubos sila para nga hindi makabalik.
03:44Dagdag ni Cayetano kung totoong nagbanta ang kapatid ng Bise sa pamilya Marcos,
03:49dapat sana nagalit na ang kapatid ng Pangulo na si Sen. Aimee Marcos
03:53at dapat nagsampa ng kaso ang Presidential Security Command laban kay Mayor Duterte.
03:59Makailang ulit ding tinanong ng Depensa si Atty. Lotok tungkol sa mga aligasyon ng Bise
04:04laban sa nooy House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa parehong online press conference.
04:09Speaker mo, pinabayaan mo siya na gustuhin ang pera ng bayan.
04:20Paikot-ikot sa buong bansa, namimigay ng pera na para bang kanya yung pera.
04:35E di ba nga? Lagi niyo sinasabi, separation of powers.
04:40Anong trabaho ng legislative branch? Gumawa ng batas.
04:45Anong ginagawa ni Martin Romualdez?
04:48Nagdeteret? Nag-DSWD? Namimigay ng ayuda?
04:54Do you know for sure if this statement by the Vice President or any part thereof happened in real life?
05:02Based on our investigation, yes.
05:03You're admitting that Martin Romualdez goes around the country to distribute money?
05:10I have to object now, Your Honor.
05:12Compound question.
05:13Your Honor, my question is the statements or any part thereof.
05:16Objection is sustained. The witness is incompetent to testify as to the truth of the matter stated by the Vice
05:24President.
05:25Itinanggin na noon ni Romualdez sa mga paratang.
05:27Pero punto ng depensa, sa pagpapalabas ng video,
05:31kung walang personal knowledge, Atty. Lotok tungkol sa ibang mga sinabi ng Bise sa online press conference,
05:37wala rin ba siyang personal knowledge na kumontrata nga ng asasin si Duterte para patayin ang Pangulo?
05:43If you have personal knowledge, based on this, that the Vice President really contracted an asasin?
05:50Ask a answer.
05:51Or, sorry, a person.
05:52We do believe that the Vice President had contracted, but I don't have personal knowledge.
05:58Kung personal knowledge ang gusto niyong malaman.
06:01Pero we do believe based on the evidence that we've gathered and based on our investigation.
06:05Ang prosekusyon nagkaroon muli ng pagkakataong makapagtanong para lalong makapagpaliwanag ang testigo nulang si Lotok sa tinatawag na redirect.
06:15Isang tinalakay ang tanong ng depensa tungkol sa mga pagkakamali sa ilang dokumento ng NBI gaya ng mga petsya.
06:22Sa muling pagtatanong ng prosekusyon, iginit ni Lotok na walang epekto ang mga sinasabing pagkakamali sa nakita sa video ng
06:30umano'y pagbabanta ng Bise.
06:31They don't have any effect at all. Those typographical errors does not alter the fact that the video exists.
06:42It does not alter the fact that the Vice President uttered those statements.
06:46And it does not alter the fact that the findings of the NBI is that the Vice President committed the
06:52crime of great threats and inciting to sedition.
06:57Ipinyunture na hindi umano'binawi ng Bise ang kanyang banta gaya ng makikita sa isa pang video na nakunan tatlong
07:04araw matapos ang online press conference noong 2024.
07:08Pinalabas ang bahagi ng video sa impeachment court.
07:11I was asked during a press briefing by a media person if I know of these plans, if you can
07:24say the word, if that is the correct word to use here, plans.
07:29So, I answered, I was asked, Romanov, and then I answered, I was told by two people, this is the
07:36first time I've heard of Romanov, so that is the third already.
07:39And I said, don't worry about my security, if they kill me, if I die, kapag pinatay ako, or kapag
07:50namatay ako, in the context of, don't worry about my security.
07:54So, this means, pinatay ka, diba?
07:59Kasi hindi ka naman mamamatay by heart attack in relation to your security.
08:08Kasi hindi ka naman mamatay ako, I already asked a person to take revenge against three individuals.
08:22Giyit ni Lotok lumabas sa kanilang investigasyon na nagbanta ang bisi, at seryoso ito bilang siya ang ikalawang pinakamataas na
08:29opisyal ng bansa.
08:30What is the emotional state of the vice president?
08:34When we tried to connect that, in the November 23, 2024 event, and the November 26, 2024, atirances,
08:45it shows na hindi ho nagbibiro yung vice-presidente nung in-author niya yung mga atirances nung November 23,
08:53at at the same time, yung pagiging furious niya, at yun nga, yung sabi ko, yung fuming limad noong November
09:0023,
09:01dala pa niya hanggang doon sa November 26, kasi nireiterate po niya, Your Honor,
09:07at inadmit po niya na meron siyang kinausap na tao to take revenge.
09:12Did you consider that statement, that fact, that it was only in response to Princess Mao's statement, if any?
09:21Well, I don't think so, Your Honor, kasi ang, ang, ang, yung atirances, yung nature ng atirances,
09:28may kinausap na ako, ma'am, huwag kang mag-alala.
09:30So ibig sabihin, even before the questions was asked, may kinausap na ho ang vice-presidente.
09:37There is intent on the part of the vice-president.
09:40The vice-president is determined, insofar as that statement is concerned.
09:48At the same time, the atirances were not product of a temporary feat of anger or spur of the moment.
10:00In other words, the atirances, the threat was real, was serious, Your Honor.
10:08Ang presiding officer, ilang beses ding nagpaalala na iwasan ng abogado ng depensa at prosekusyon,
10:14ang mga side comment.
10:16Are you aware that the vice-president is a lawyer?
10:19Yes, sir, of course.
10:20That he has, of course, a law degree and passed the bar exams?
10:23Yes, sir.
10:24With the first attempt and with the rating of 80%, are you aware of this?
10:28I heard it in the news, sir.
10:30Oh, she has a higher grade than most of the lawyers here.
10:33But are you aware that she also worked as a court attorney?
10:35Objection, relevance, Your Honor.
10:36Relevance.
10:38Objection, relevance.
10:39Counsel for the respondent, kindly avoid those discouraging statements,
10:42given that there are a lot of lawyers here and you don't know what their grades are.
10:47The evidence is clear, sir.
10:51According to you.
10:52Oh, objection, Your Honor.
10:53I move that...
10:55Wait, wait, wait.
10:55We cannot let this pass.
10:56No, that is a reminder for counsel for both parties.
11:00Kindly avoid side remarks.
11:03Henceforth, the presiding officer will have it stricken off the record.
11:07And whatever question you pose and afterwards withdraw,
11:12will likewise be stricken off from the records.
11:14So as to avoid any attempts at showmanship,
11:18usually seen on TV, yes,
11:20but will not be tolerated by this impeachment court.
11:24Geet naman ni Sen. Judge Caetano kay Lotok,
11:28ang umano'y banta ng bisse ay nakakondisyon
11:31sa kung papatayin siya ng umano'y tatlong pinagbabantaan niya
11:34na sina Pangulong Marcos, First Lady at Dating House Speaker.
11:38Anya, kung hindi naman nila balak ipapatay ang bisse,
11:41bakit sila matatakot?
11:42Ang sinabi ni VP Sara,
11:45pag pinatay ako,
11:46patayin silang tatlo.
11:48So kung wala naman silang tatlo,
11:49balak na patayin siya,
11:51why would they feel threatened?
11:52We qualify that great threats
11:54sa term namin as event-based condition
11:56na yun nga,
11:58pag nangyari yung event,
12:01magtitrigger ngayon yung
12:03yung threat ng Vice President.
12:05Now, in so far as
12:09na-threaten sila,
12:11yung sinasabi mo po, sir,
12:13na
12:16pag namatay si Vice President,
12:19tsaka papatayin ngayon ng tao na inutusan niya,
12:21yung tatlo,
12:22ang isa sa alarming,
12:25na very alarming part na nakita namin,
12:28yung mga sasakay ho na grupo po eh.
12:31Kasi,
12:32God forbid,
12:34pwedeng
12:34pwedeng mawala ang Vice President
12:36but not necessarily sila yung dahilan.
12:39Pwedeng
12:39namatay siya for one reason or the other.
12:42Then, ang impression na ng marami,
12:44ang may kasalada nito,
12:46yung tatlo.
12:47Ito ang unang balita.
