00:00Some congressmen were dismayed by the sudden departure of former Bamban Tarlac Mayor, Alice Buoho, from the Philippines.
00:09Meanwhile, they listened to the issues raised by the Quad Committee of the Camera.
00:14Some judges also defended Mela Lasmora in the center of the news live.
00:23Aljo is now waiting for the next hearing of the Quad Committee of the Camera.
00:28One of the things expected to be added to their agenda is where is the former Bamban Tarlac Mayor, Alice Buoho.
00:37In the press conference of the camera today, congressmen were dismayed by the sudden departure of former Bamban Tarlac Mayor, Alice Buoho,
00:48who is one of those who are involved in the issue of illegal pogos.
00:52According to House Deputy Majority Leader Jude Asidre, this issue should be included in the investigation of the former Quad Committee of the Camera
01:01to determine how he left, who are his accomplices and how we can stop these incidents from happening again.
01:11Under the Quad Com hearing, the four committees of the camera are working together
01:17to discuss illegal pogos, illegal drugs, and human and extraditional killings during the administration.
01:24The Quad Com hearing was held last Friday.
01:27In a statement, the wife of Vice President Sara Duterte, Atty. Manasseh Scorpio,
01:34expressed her condolences to former Customs Intelligence Officer Jimmy Guban on the issue of illegal drugs in the so-called hearing
01:42that she called politically motivated.
01:45Davao City First District Representative Paulo Duterte also expressed his condolences to the congressmen who are part of the Quad Com.
01:53They also clarified that they are just doing their job.
01:57At this point, let's go back to the part of the statement of some of the congressmen.
02:03We need to know where did the institutional safeguards fail.
02:07I think that's the number one purpose of the Quad Com under the marching orders of our speaker.
02:13So that this will never happen again.
02:15I think it's wrong for statesmen to say, don't work there because this is politically motivated.
02:23No, we have to look into the institutional safeguards.
02:25Why did we end up having these problems with pogos?
02:30Was there abuse of authority in the highest level?
02:33What happened is that Alice Guo disappeared.
02:37We just need to prove that we need to investigate more.
02:41Probably not as a separate investigation, but definitely something that the Quad Com needs to also study and to also investigate.
02:50Because as Cong Jai said, this will not happen without the cooperation of some in the government.
02:58Aljo, the lawmakers are confident that even though the Quad Committee of the Camera is discussing the issue of illegal pogos and illegal drugs,
03:08they will continue to point to other priority bills of the administration and to other needs of our countrymen.
03:15In fact Aljo, aside from the Quad Com hearing, the budget hearings here in the Camera will continue and later, the Department of Tourism officials will attend.
03:25Aljo?
03:26Mela, when is the next Quad Committee hearing and who are the new ones that they will call?
03:38Aljo, we expect that the next Quad Committee hearing will happen this week or next week.
03:43Last Friday, as part of their invitation, those who were mentioned to be involved in illegal drugs,
03:51such as Atty. Man Scarpio and Cong. Paolo Duterte, but Aljo, they will refuse this accusation.
03:59That's why the congressmen are saying that in order for them to clarify and hear their point of view,
04:04they should face the investigation of the Quad Committee.
04:08Aside from them, we expect that the Quad Committee will continue to invite other personalities that are involved in the issue of illegal pogos and illegal drugs.
04:18Aljo?
04:19Thank you very much Mela Lesmora.
