03:12Bago mag-adjourn, inaprubahan sa committee level ang proposed na mahigit 28 billion pesos bukod pa sa karagdagang 556 million
03:20na hiling na budget ng DNR.
03:22Ito ang unang balita.
03:25Maris Umali, GMA News.
03:52Ang pag-gastos sa hinihinging flood control budget sa 2027.
03:57Bago raw pondohan ang isang proyekto, kailangan merong feasibility study o master plan, sertifikasyon na walang problema sa right of
04:05way at may geotag pictures o larawan ng mismong lugar na pagtatayuan ang proyekto.
04:11Dagdag ni Dizon kasama sa mga bibigyang prioridad ang mga proyektong nahinto at yung mga kailangang imaintain at ayusin.
04:18Sinabi rin ni Dizon na walang leadership fund sa hinihinging 2027 budget.
04:23Ang leadership fund ay isiniwalat noon ni dating DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan para sa priority projects ng mga senador at
04:31kongresista.
04:44Dila naubusan ng pasensya ang ilang senator judges sa muling pagsalang sa impeachment trial ng hostile witness sa si Assistant
04:51Chief of Staff ng Office of the Vice President.
04:54Sa Martes, ipagpapatuloy ang impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte dahil National Heroes Day po sa lunes.
05:01So yun ang balita si Ian Cruz.
05:07Muling sumalang sa witness stand si OVP Assistant Chief of Staff Asek Lemuel Ortonio para sa cross-examination ng depensa.
05:16Una nilang sinilip ang hindi pagsumite ng physical and financial plan kasabay ng request ng OVP na confidential funds.
05:24Your request for additional budget was actually approved by the Office of the President.
05:30That's correct, ma'am.
05:32And in the process of approving your request for additional budget, no issue whatsoever was raised by either the DBM
05:43or the Office of the President regarding the documents that you submitted.
05:48We did not receive any comment regarding the submissions that we've made.
05:54Nasilip din ang paggamit sa confidential fund na nakasaad sa physical and financial plan.
06:00The confidential funds were not used to fund the good governance program in itself, but the implementation thereof.
06:11Yes, that's correct, ma'am.
06:13The confidential funds for the year 2023 were not used to fund the socio-economic program itself, but the safe
06:22implementation thereof.
06:23Pero pinalagan ito ng prosecution na tinawag si Ortonio na incompetent na tumistigo kung saan naggastos o napunta ang confidential
06:32funds.
06:33He himself explained that he had no participation whatsoever in the disbursement of said confidential funds.
06:41So this witness your honor by his own admission is incompetent to testify where the confidential funds were spent.
06:48Muling nilinaw kung alam ba ni Ortonio kung saan ginastos ang mga pondo.
06:53Base sa testimony mo gina Ortonio, wala kang alam sa paggastos, pag-liquidate, pag-disburse ng confidential funds.
07:01Tama?
07:02Yes, that's correct, Your Honor.
07:03Sabi ni Gina Acosta, wala rin siyang alam.
07:07Based on what I have read in...
07:09Na testimony niya?
07:10Yes, sir.
07:11Base sa pagkakaalam mo, alam ba ng Vice President kung paano ito ginastos?
07:19The way I understand it, sir, as the head of agency, I would understand that she knows the implementation, sir.
07:28Yes, so si Koina Lachica alam din siyempre.
07:31Yes, sir, as the security officer.
07:34Inusisa naman ni Sen. Judge Rafi Tulfo kung bakit hindi tinanong ni Ortonio kung anong klaseng gamotang binili gamit ang
07:43confidential funds ng OVP.
07:44Did you ask kung anong medisinang binili ng... para sa ang medisinang bibili ng informant? Yung pera?
07:50When the time na nag-consult po ako with a security officer, sir, I did not ask anymore on the
07:57specifics.
07:58You are a very highly educated person from prestigious schools. Come on, it doesn't make sense. It defies logic.
08:05Tatanoy mo dapat.
08:06At the time po, sir, when I consulted with a security officer, sir, I was not able to ask anymore.
08:14Why not? It's part of your job. In fact, pumirma ka eh doon sa pag-reply mo sa EOM.
08:22I asked, sir, for your process.
08:23So, pumirma ka nakapikit? Yes, sir.
08:26No, sir, hindi naman po na nakapikit, sir, because nagtanong naman po ako sa security officer namin, sir, on how
08:34it was released or implemented on the ground.
08:39You could have asked La Chica and said, La Chica, bakit tin tayo pumunta sa DOH, maghingi tayo ng gawot
08:44para makalibin, makatipid tayo sa confidential funds?
08:46That I cannot answer, sir.
08:47Sa pag-interject ni Sen. Judge Kiko Pangilinan, kinwestiyon niya kung bakit gamot ang binili bilang reward sa mga informant.
08:56Mahirap paniwalaan na kayo ay gumastos ng 122 milyon para sa gamot na reward dahil nag-surveillance yung mga informant
09:06at nabigyan ng reward at hiningi nila gamot at hindi ninyo binigyan ng gamot, binigyan ninyo ng pera para sila
09:14nang bibili ng gamot.
09:15May napansin naman si Sen. Judge Panfilo Lacson sa Physical and Financial Plan ng OVP Confidential Fund noong 2022 at
09:242023 na nagkakahalaga ng 500 milyon pesos.
09:29Anya, tila iisa at copy-paste lang ang nakasulat na physical target.
09:35Percentage of activities implemented without untoward security-related incidents.
09:48Paulit-ulit po ito, ano? Ano pong analysis nyo dyan?
09:52These are the activities that will be done, sir.
09:54I know. Hindi ba ito isulto sa common sense?
09:58Hindi man lang nyo binago ng konti.
10:00O ako na mag-describe.
10:01I think it's stupid.
10:05Sana man lang, binago-bago niya ng konti.
10:07Sinilip din ang mga dipangkaraniwang pangalan sa acknowledgement receipt na pinirmahan ng mga informant.
10:14Minsan ang natanong ng ilang senator judges, baka alias ang mga ito.
10:20Ang alias po, anong kahalagahan?
10:24I'm not sure of the circumstances surrounding their use of alias.
10:28Under the anti-alias law, sir, inaalaw naman po yung paggamit ng alias,
10:32provided kailangan po nakabanggit din, nakadisclose kung ano yung real name.
10:39That should be a non-issue because even them,
10:41they never claimed that in any of their pleading before this Honorable Court.
10:44Kailangan nyo po ba kung sino si Marisal Bonifacio?
10:48To be candid, Your Honor.
10:51Sino po?
10:53Si Binigno Aquino Jr., si Ninoy.
10:58Siya mismo may alias.
11:00Dahil nabanggit si Ninoy, nag-react si Sen. Judge Bam Aquino,
11:05pamangkin ng pinaslang na dating senador.
11:07Tama po, si Ninoy Aquino po ang kanyang alias ay Marshall Bonifacio
11:12para makauwi po siya sa Pilipinas nung nasa Boston siya.
11:16Pero wala naman po siyang confidential funds.
11:19Bago magtapos ang cross-examination,
11:21hiniling naman ni Sen. Judge Migs Zabiri
11:24na hingin sa COA ang status ng kanilang findings sa confidential funds.
11:29Can this court make representation with the COA?
11:33If possible, during the duration of this trial,
11:36so that we may be guided as judges.
11:38Can they make their findings already with finality?
11:42The Commission on Audit is an independent constitutional commission
11:46and I doubt if we would be well within our rights
11:52to compel them similar to a mandamus to act one way or the other.
11:59Sa cross-examination naman ang abogado ng BICE,
12:01ipinunto ni Ortonio na hindi pa naman daw pinal
12:04ang Notice of Disallowance ng COA sa OVP
12:07at pwede pa itong i-apela.
12:09Hindi rin daw umanog ginamit ang confidential funds
12:12sa mga regular na programa ng OVP.
12:16Itong unang malita, Ian Cruz, GMA News.
12:27Spotted in one frame si na Filipina Tannis Ace, Alex Ayala
12:32at Sparkle star Shruvi Etrata.
12:34Nagmitang dalawa sa New York City sa Amerika
12:37sa gitna ng trip abroad ng Cebuana Beauty.
12:40All smiles si na Shruvi at Alex na enjoy sa kanilang unexpected encounter.
12:50Speaking of Alex, napansin ng media executive at fashion icon na si Anna Winter
12:55ang own fashion ng world number 18.
12:59Nasa sidelines ng US Open exhibition match
13:01nina Roger Federer and Andy Roddick, si Anna.
13:05Husaan, expectator din si Alex at fellow tennis player, Eva Likes.
13:12We had the young Filipino star.
13:15You know, you could see even in such a young star
13:17how interested she is in fashion
13:19and how she wants to learn about it and follow it.
