NewsTranscript
00:00 Mariel Rodriguez Padilla was cleared for the following allegations
00:04 in the IV drip procedure she was subjected to inside the Senate.
00:08 Her husband, Senator Robin Padilla, asked for a pardon.
00:13 Witness, Mahab Gonzalez.
00:15 After the IV drip session inside the Senate,
00:22 Mariel Padilla answered the issue.
00:24 I had no intention whatsoever to disrespect the Senate or anything like that.
00:33 It was never in my intention. I was in my husband's office.
00:38 It was never my intention to offend you,
00:44 to make you not respectable to the Senate. No, of course not.
00:51 She was also cleared for vitamin C and not glutathione.
00:55 She was also watched by a professional nurse.
00:57 However, based on the FDA's abuse,
01:00 the use of vitamin C injection was not safe
01:03 because it can cause kidney stones if the tissue it will be injected with is acidic.
01:09 This IV drip procedure was first done by Senate Ethics Committee Chairperson,
01:13 Senator Nancy Binay, who was not abused in the Senate's clinic.
01:17 Earlier, Mariel's husband, Senator Robin Padilla,
01:21 sent a letter to Senate President Migs Ubiri and Senator Binay to ask for a pardon.
01:26 He said that they will never do anything to disrespect the Senate's symbol,
01:31 and that they will always be respectful to its rules.
01:35 Binay accepted Padilla's request for a dispensation.
01:38 But if there is a formal complaint,
01:41 the Ethics Committee will still investigate what Mariel did.
01:44 Padilla also wrote to the Sergeant at Arms and the Medical Bureau Director of the Senate to ask for a dispensation.
01:49 They also said that they will not let the Senate's rules be neglected by those who have a house.
01:54 The Senate is hopeful that this will not happen again.
01:57 Stop this political issue.
02:00 Honestly, we have a lot to talk about.
02:04 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
02:12 Kapuso, let's all be witnesses.
