00:00In the budget hearing that took place on August 27,

00:04you can see that they have prepared a PowerPoint presentation,

00:10they have prepared an audiovisual presentation,

00:13they have prepared a script that they are reading.

00:17And the other congresswoman said,

00:21I don't have time.

00:23This is a long reading. I can't read letter by letter.

00:27But if you can see, they have prepared the answers

00:32to what we said in the Commission on Audit.

00:37Legal points that we said in the Commission on Audit.

00:41Why is it so dangerous to get documents that are not finished

00:49and not final audits?

00:53So if you can see, that's how it is. They are prepared.

00:57We can see that, let's stick to our plan.

01:01Let's attack it.

01:03It has nothing to do with the Office of the Vice President 2025 budget proposal.

01:10But everything has to do with the confidential funds.

01:15There have been cases for a long time.

01:19There are three cases in the Supreme Court.

01:22They have been asking for audits for a long time.

01:26And we are cooperating in the audits.

01:32So you can see, if we repeat what happened

01:39in the House budget hearing on August 27,

01:42they have a plan to use that to destroy me.

01:47And they don't just stop there.

01:49If you can see, now they are in the DepEd budget

01:54to destroy my name.

01:57Even though I have nothing to do with the observations

02:05of the Commission on Audit, they are saying that

02:11it is Inday Sara's fault.

02:14So you can see, the Makabayan Bloc has joined Martin Romualdez.

02:21And because Martin Romualdez didn't attack him,

02:26and because he wanted to support the Makabayan and the NPA,

02:32he listened.

02:34And what he did was remove the budget.

02:39And the truth is, if you can see,

02:41in the House hearing on August 27,

02:4790% of the questions were about confidential funds.

02:53Even though in 2024 and 2025,

02:57the Office of the Vice President will no longer have confidential funds.

03:03So that is my explanation.

03:05My explanation is very long.

03:08Why do we need to question and answer

03:13for you to attack me?

03:16After all, we all know that

03:20it is Congressman Zaldico and Congressman Martin Romualdez

03:23who make the decisions in the budget of the country.
