Ridon rejects VP’s conflict of interest claim  House impeachment prosecutor Rep. Terry Ridon on Tuesday rejected Vice President Sara Duterte’s claim that his past consultancy work for the Davao City government created a conflict of interest in his role as a prosecutor in her Senate impeachment trial.  Ridon said a conflict of interest would arise only if his previous work was connected to the allegations being presented against Duterte. He said the prosecution would remain focused on presenting evidence on the unexplained wealth allegations.

00:00Hey, I don't have a conflict of interest.

00:03When I joined the city government of Davao in 2018 to 2020,

00:10I powered the related concerns.

00:14It was the case of our campaign.

00:18When we worked here, impeachment,

00:20we didn't have a relationship.

00:22So what is the conflict of interest matter

00:26that the vice president is actually talking about?

00:31Unless, ang gusto niya sabihin na

00:33porkit tawa ka dati,

00:36porkit lang sukat ka dati,

00:37dapat natin sumamo ka sa mga duterte.

00:40Parang diwata yung tama yun.

00:42Diba?

00:42Ang dami nga, nagkumpanya pa para sa kanya.

00:45Eh, nagboto para i-beat siya.

00:48Diba?

00:49So dapat sigiling niya rin yun.

00:50But again, yung conflict of interest,

00:53kailangan mo ipakita doon na

00:55yun pong gawain ko dati ay may relasyon doon.

00:58Halimbawa, sabihin ko sa ako nating 4.4 billion

01:01into the transactions of the DLT Cartrio couple.

01:05Diba?

01:06That would be straight out quality of interest.

01:08And I cannot, uh,

01:11I cannot be taken away from that.

01:12Diba?

01:13Maka ako ganon.

01:14Pero, this is an entirely different matter.

01:17It is a consultancy.

01:17I am thankful to the city government of Davao

01:21that, uh,

01:22that, uh,

01:22that engaged me then.

01:26I think, uh,

01:27the city government of Davao

01:28has the complete list of all the reports.

01:31Of that entirety of that engagement.

01:33We should,

01:33hanapin hong nime.

01:34And lastly,

01:36it was never disallowed in audit

01:37more than six years after the conclusion

01:40of, uh, that engagement.

01:43So, uh,
