00:14A Pulse Asia survey reveals Vice President Sarah Duterte is still the leading candidate
00:20for the 2028 presidential race.
00:22The prosecution drops its plan to call Vice President Sarah Duterte to the witness stand.
00:27DICT chief Henry Aguda resigns, while Lino Cayetano is appointed as Marxist communications chief.
00:34And, U.S. President Donald Trump calls for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:47Financial forensic analyst Alexander Cabrera says Vice President Sarah Duterte's undeclared
00:53wealth from 2022 to 2025 could reach 1.5 billion pesos if his estimates are not conservative.
01:00This, as impeachment presiding officer Cheese Escudero asks Cabrera on the maximum or possible
01:06ceiling for Duterte's undeclared wealth.
01:08Cabrera previously said that based on his findings, Duterte's unexplained wealth could
01:12be conservatively pegged at 817 million pesos.
01:16Cabrera said if he included the 475 million peso confidential funds awarded to Duterte,
01:22the 100 million pesos in discrepancies in the Anti-Money Laundering Council records,
01:28and hike Duterte's estimated shares in Gencorp to 45% amounting to 250 million pesos,
01:34it would reach 1.5 billion pesos.
01:37Can you be the one to compute for me, Attorney Alex, please?
01:40What would be the total of your ceiling if this is the minimum?
01:44Mga 1.5 po.
01:471.5?
01:481.5 billion po.
01:51Ang unexplained, what would be the correct description of that, sir?
01:551.5, ang total?
01:58Mga less than 1.6 po yun, mga 1.5 po.
02:03How would you describe that figure, sir?
02:05That will be unexplained wealth po.
02:07Kasi po yung confidential funds po, kahit alam po natin ang pinanggalingan, so parang may-explained po.
02:16Pero pag ang pinanggalingan po ay hindi po legal, nagiging unexplained din po siya kahit alam niyo po kung saan
02:23ang galing.
02:25A Pulse Asia survey reveals Vice President Sara Duterte remains the leading candidate for the 2028 presidential race.
02:33The survey shows a three-way race for the presidential post, with Duterte leading with 50% of votes,
02:38against Naga City Mayor Lenny Robredo at 26% and Senator Rafi Tulfo at 12%.
02:44Senator Risa Honteveros comes after with 3% of the votes, followed by Defense Secretary Guibo Chodoro at 1%.
02:51The nationwide survey is based on a sample of 2,400 representative adults.
02:56In February, Duterte said she wanted to run for the country's top post.
03:00Conducted from September 17 to 24, 2026, the survey is released amid Duterte's ongoing impeachment trial.
03:07Placing second in the survey, Robredo has so far expressed no interest in running for the national post.
03:14The prosecution team in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte drops its plan to call her to the
03:20witness stand.
03:21The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case against Duterte after the conclusion of the examination of its last
03:27witness,
03:28financial forensic analyst Alexander Cabrera, on Monday, October 12.
03:33Prosecution legal spokesman Jay Tolosa says the bank records and statements of assets, liabilities, and net worth of Duterte already
03:40suffice.
03:40We don't see the need to get testimonial or her testimony anymore when there are records, most of them, which
03:50came from her, already spoke loudly.
03:53Prosecutor Joel Chua says it will be more appropriate for the defense team to call its own client to the
03:58witness stand.
03:59Dahil yun ang kanilang pupwede maging legal strategy para may paliwanag ng ating vice-presidente yung mga bagay-bagay na
04:10halimbawa yung mga dokumento na ipingresenta namin.
04:14The prosecution has also already dropped the bribery case in a bid to expedite the proceedings.
04:19Meantime, Duterte makes a fiery remark that the prosecution team is rushing her impeachment trial because their case is faltering.
04:26Sabi ko, bumabagsak na yung kaso nila eh.
04:31Kaya binibilisan.
04:33Kasi wala na, wala na sila masabi.
04:35Nag-iimbento. Nag-iimbento ka ng ebidensya eh.
04:38The prosecution responds to Duterte's remark saying,
04:40At this point, malinaw, these are based on documents, official records that came from different government offices such as the
04:50AMLAC and the BIR and private institutions such as banks, insurance companies and the like.
04:58President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. confirms he has accepted the resignation of Information and Communications Technology Chief Henry Aguda.
05:06The confirmation follows Ombudsman Boyeng Rimulya's disclosure on Saturday, October 10, that Malacanang had accepted Aguda's resignation.
05:14The Ombudsman already spilled the beans before we were able to.
05:23But I think that is because of the investigation that he's conducting.
05:27Aguda and the DICD faced backlash in recent weeks over efforts to regulate and block online platforms,
05:33including Discord, which drew strong criticism from users and workers.
05:38Meantime, Marcos appoints PTV General Manager Lino Cayetano as a secretary of the Presidential Communications Office.
05:45Cayetano will replace Dave Gomez, who was bypassed by the Commission on Appointments.
05:50Cayetano will be the sixth PCO chief under the Marcos administration.
05:53He was appointed general manager of the state-run network in June 2026.
05:57He is the younger brother of Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano, but their relationship has been marked by political
06:04differences.
06:07U.S. President Donald Trump calls for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky and criticize Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil
06:14facilities.
06:15He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers, with diesel fuel.
06:20Because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world.
06:25This came a day after Trump announced a diesel supply deal with Russia, which drew criticism from Zelensky.
06:32Zelensky, meantime, said Trump's announcement emboldens Moscow.
06:36This a few days after a Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia that killed 20 people, including three
06:41children.
06:42The sharp rise in global diesel prices since February has become a political liability for Trump's Republicans.
06:48The party faces next month's midterm elections, with Democrats potentially gaining control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, or
06:55both.
