00:02Last week, Mackie arrested na ang isa sa mga itinuturing ng ombudsman na big fish sa flood control scam.
00:10Itong si former House Speaker Martin Romuales na kinasuhan ng plunder para sa pagpubrao mo noon ng mahigit 7 billion
00:16pesos sa mga maanumalyang mga flood control projects.
00:19So ang co-accuse niya kasi dito ay si Ako Bicol Partilist Representative Zaldico.
00:25So hindi lang ito ha ang naging isang, Zaldico is facing other cases in the Sandigan Bayan, pati malversation.
00:34So ang tanong ngayon, where in the world is Zaldico?
00:39Here's what we know so far.
00:44New York, Japan, Portugal, Sweden, Italy, France.
00:51So hindi yan pang travel goals. Yan daw yung reported trail ni former Congressman Zaldico.
00:57At yung France, sabi ng palasyo, ay yung last known location ni Ko.
01:02Pero bakit nga ba tinutugi si Zaldico?
01:06Si Ko ang chairman ng House Committee on Appropriations kung saan nagka-hocus-pocus daw sa national budget.
01:13Ring a bell! Flood control project scandal.
01:16At nang mabunyag ang katiwalian, biglang nagtago si Ko.
01:19So here's what we know.
01:21July 2025, lumipad si Copa America para sa umano yung medical treatment pero hindi na siya bumalik.
01:29Dahil umiinit na noon yung flood control issue, pinauwi si Kong ng kamera.
01:33Pero imbes na bumalik, ang dumating ay ang kanyang resignation letter bilang congressman.
01:39Doon na umano siya nag-country hopping at tuluyang nagtago sa Europa.
01:44Naalala niyo yung mga bansang sinabi ko kanina?
01:46Isa-isahin natin yung country hopping ni Koryan.
01:49Sabi ng DILG, mula Amerika, nag-Japan si Ko.
01:53Tapos nagpunta sa Lisbon, Portugal dahil meron daw siyang bahay doon.
01:58November 2025, lumabas yung arrest warrant kay Ko at mga co-accused.
02:03Dahil sa maanumaliang 289.5 million peso road die project sa Oriental Mindoro.
02:09Next thing we know, nagpunta pala siya sa Stockholm, Sweden noong January 2026
02:15para personal na magpanotaryo ng affidavit sa isang Swedish noong the Republic
02:20para sa petisyong isinumite sa Corte Suprema.
02:24Tapos, huli week this year, biglang nasa Italy naman siya.
02:28From Italy, nagtangkaraw si Ko na pumasok sa Germany sa pamamagitan ng pagpasok sa Prague, Czech Republic.
02:35Kaso, nadetain siya sa Prague dahil sa problema sa travel documents.
02:38Agad pumunta ang DOJ sa Prague.
02:42Pero wala na pala noon sa custody ng Czech Republic si Ko.
02:45Kahit may arrest warrant mula Pilipinas, hindi yun umiiral sa Prague.
02:50May naihae naman daw na application para sa Red Notice.
02:54Kaso, kulang din sa papelis.
02:57So, nasaan na si Zaldico?
03:00Sabi ng palasyon itong April, nasa France,
03:02kung saan may pending application siya for political asylum.
03:06This month, ang sabi ng DILG.
03:10We know where he is. We know the address. We know his house. We get it back here.
03:14At nakapag-comply na raw ang DOJ ng requirements para sa issuance ng Red Notice for call.
03:19Pagtitiyak ni Remulya ngayong araw.
03:21He's still there. He is seeking asylum.
03:24And my job there is to convince our counterparts that after stealing $1 billion from the very poor country like
03:37the Philippines,
03:38he does not deserve asylum.
03:40Nakikipagugnayan din daw ang PNP sa international law enforcement.
03:44Ang ombudsman nagko-coordinate sa French authorities para sa exact location ni Ko.
03:49Nakikipag
