00:00 The Transportation Secretary and two congressmen were transferred to the LTFRB by a whistleblower who was previously a member of the agency.
00:08 But the whistleblower is now being accused of being a trusted aide to the former president, who was a member of the agency.
00:12 Maki Pulido was the one who was arrested.
00:14 In the prepared complaint affidavit of whistleblower Jeff Tombado,
00:22 LTFRB Chairperson Teofilo Guadis is delivering the collection of money to DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista.
00:29 According to Mar Valbuena of the Manibela Transport Group,
00:32 Valbuena said he will complain about the draft complaint against the LTFRB and DOTR officials,
00:40 in addition to the money that Tombado was given.
00:43 Chairman Guadis is trying to show off.
00:47 He is delivering this to Secretary Bautista and he is telling them that he will deliver this to Malacanang to show off.
00:56 He is doing this to show that they are strong and that they will not be removed and that they will continue to hold their positions.
01:08 According to Valbuena, Guadis told Tombado that the two congressmen are part of the collection.
01:14 The amount of the transaction is P5 million, like a new route or franchise, according to Tombado.
01:21 The quota of each LTFRB Regional Director is P2 million per month.
01:26 That's why the collection is not less than P30 million per month.
01:31 DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista denied that he was involved in the fraud.
01:36 He said that this is not true.
01:38 If there is an accusation, Bautista said, there should be evidence.
01:42 He did not allow any fraud in the DOTR.
01:46 For the Manibela group, Guadis should not be the only one to be suspended, but all LTFRB Regional Directors.
01:53 DOTR should not be the one to investigate the allegations.
01:57 If DOTR is being involved, Ma'am Maki will be the one to investigate.
02:02 I don't think that we can expect that the investigation will be fair.
02:06 The call of other transport groups is also an independent investigation.
02:10 But Obert Martin of Pasang Mazda said that they did not hear or experience any fraud in LTFRB.
02:17 I have been here for 50 years.
02:18 But the amount of the transaction, you know, it's not like ours, sometimes we get snacks.
02:23 Normally, we get snacks from the Filipino people, but there is no transaction.
02:28 And for that amount of P5 million, I don't know anything about it.
02:33 They say that Tombado is the corrupt DO-man.
02:36 He was caught by Chairman Joe Joguadez in his arrest for committing corruption.
02:41 He was suspended and he will now make allegations.
02:44 Tombado has not yet responded.
02:47 In a statement, he said that his decision was a personal decision and no one urged him to do so.
02:53 He also has no connection with the Manibela group.
02:56 He is also saddened by Guadis' suspension.
02:59 He also said that he has not yet mentioned any name of a personality that has anything to do with the anomaly.
03:05 We are still trying to get the statement of suspended LTFRB Chair Teofilo Guadis.
03:10 He has not yet made a statement.
03:12 He was appointed as the OIC of LTFRB by Attorney Mercy Paras-Leynes.
03:17 For JMAI Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for 24 Hours.
