National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Melvin Matibag said during the ninth day of the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, July 22, that her speech serves as a "kinetic force" for others to imitate threats.

This, in response to defense counsel Mark Vinluan, who questioned whether the incident that happened with Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro in Canada, and flood control rallies, has something to do with the Vice President's influence.

00:00Now, you mentioned also the concept of kinetic force.
00:06Can you recall?
00:07Yes, sir.
00:08All right.
00:09Now, my question to you is this.
00:11Despite the lapse of 14 months and the absence of VP Sarah in that event,
00:17you still concluded that this event was still part of what you call kinetic force.
00:24Is that the case?
00:25Tamang po.
00:26All right.
00:27And based on your findings, this kinetic force came from VP Sarah's November 23, 2024 press con.
00:36Correct?
00:36Hindi lamang po yun.
00:38Ang sinabi ko po ay may pagkaka-obnay sapagkat yung statement na I want to cut his head,
00:44gusto kong kunin ang ulo niya.
00:46At ang sinabi din po ni Mayor Baste, isang ulo lang ang kailangan namin,
00:51ang ulo ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
00:53All right. So, you mentioned also that there was a participant in a PBBM rally that shouted,
01:03barilin na yan. When did this happen, if you can recall?
01:07Hindi po ito rally. Meron pong event ang ating pong Pangulo sa Nueva Ecija.
01:14Naka-live broadcast po ito sa RTBN.
01:17At meron pong nag-commento bigla na sinabi, barilin na yan.
01:21Can you recall the date of that event?
01:26Hindi ko po ma-recall yung exact on date, pero nandito rin po sa tawar sa amin yan.
01:31But is this also part of the kinetic force that you mentioned?
01:35Lumalabas po sa amin pong pag-aaral.
01:37How about yung nangyari kay Undersecretary Claire Castro in Canada?
01:42Is this also part of the kinetic force?
01:44Irrelevant, Your Honor?
01:45Your Honor, I'm trying to lay the basis, Your Honor.
01:47Witness my answer.
01:48Well, ito na nga po yung sinasabi natin na nagkakaroon po ng malawakang kaguluhan
01:54na epekto po ng madalas na pagbabanta at seryosong pagbabanta sa Pangulo
01:59na ngayon ang mga itaong kahit na ordinaryo ay inaataki po.
02:04Hindi lamang ang Pangulo, kundi ang iba pa rin pong natataas na posisyon.
02:08So the answer is yes, it's part of the kinetic force.
02:11So in other words, this kinetic force can reach foreign countries?
02:16Lumalabas po na dinon.
02:17Dahil marami po tayong Pilipino na nando doon na napapanood po sa social media.
02:21That's okay, director.
02:22Now, how about the flood control rallies?
02:24Is this part of the kinetic force?
02:27Yung flood control rally na...
02:29Aling pong flood control rally to be specific?
02:31Any flood control rally.
02:33Probably, baka po kumaari lang po, sir.
02:36Ibigyan nyo ko ng specific para po mas may paliwanag ko po.
02:45I'll just move on.
02:46So any dissent against the government must be attributed to this kinetic force?
02:52Is that what you're saying?
02:53Speculative, Your Honor.
02:55Witness, may answer if you know.
02:56Depende po kung anong event.
02:58Kaya nga po, ang ginagawa po ng NBI ay atin pong sinusuri lahat ng pangyayari.
03:03Kahapon po, inilatag namin yung limang bataya namin
03:06para po magkaroon tayo ng malinaw na threat assessment sa lahat po ng pangyayari.
03:16You.
03:16I will show you how I'm going to keep my blood off the tube in —
03:24No, no.
