00:00Never again, that is the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte
00:04when asked if she will be in tandem with the Marcos.
00:08The Vice President said that it is a political reason that is why she is being investigated by the camera.
00:14The congressmen are defending this.
00:16Watch this, Ian Cruz.
00:22Please stand up and raise your right hand.
00:24Do you solemnly swear...
00:24Vice President Sara Duterte is just sitting while the resource persons are swearing
00:30from the Budget Department and the Commission on Audit
00:33for the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
00:38The Vice President was the first to be sworn in.
00:40What's in your rules, only witnesses are voting.
00:44You don't have rules for resource persons.
00:47Ma'am, that's just a term, but you are also considered as a resource person.
00:58Yes, sir.
00:59You are considered as a resource person.
01:01You are also a witness and a resource person.
01:04The Pampanga representative, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, defended the Vice President.
01:08We cannot just trivialize.
01:11You're just a witness.
01:12You're a witness.
01:13You are also a witness and a resource person.
01:16They are not the same.
01:17The Supreme Court says they are not the same.
01:20And somebody who appears to be the accused has a different tier of protection from a witness.
01:26The point of the Honorable Arroyo is well taken, but we will proceed to the outtaking.
01:33If the Vice President refuses to take her oath, we will respect that.
01:41The hearing was attended by the Privileged Speech, Team Manila representative, Rolando Valeriano,
01:47who pointed out the wrong use of the OVP fund.
01:51But in the end, they did not do anything wrong and the fund was not confiscated.
01:56If there are any audit findings, they are ready to answer it in court.
02:02What we are witnessing now is no ordinary legislative inquiry.
02:07This exercise is a well-funded and coordinated political attack.
02:13This much is evident from the very words of the Privileged Speech that prompted this inquiry.
02:22This much is evident from the very words of the Privileged Speech that prompted this inquiry.
02:30A speech that's simply meant to say, do not vote for SANA on 2028.
02:38It is clear to me that this inquiry is not about misused funds, accountability, or governance.
02:47Instead, it is solely aimed at discrediting my name and my office to prevent future political contests.
02:56What you are trying to do is make a case for impeachment.
03:05I am not a candidate for the upcoming election.
03:10In the last hearing of the House Appropriations Panel,
03:13VP Sara emphasized the importance of spending confidential funds of the OVP in 2022.
03:20The Appropriations Committee also recommended a budget of more than P1 billion for 2025.
03:28You have the complete freedom to do whatever you wish with the OVP budget.
03:36If you feel that all the documentary submissions are not enough,
03:40then by all means, don't give a budget.
03:44You may try to destroy me.
03:46You can skin me alive and throw my ashes to the wind.
03:51But let it be known, you will find me unbound.
03:58Before noon, she approached Chowang Bise and returned to her seat.
04:03May I request to leave the inquiry?
04:06Ma'am, you may leave considering that you did not vote.
04:11We know that you are doing a lot of things.
04:14The Vice President is excused.
04:19If the Committee on Good Government will call her again,
04:22Bise is not yet sure if she can attend the hearing again.
04:26It all depends on what the Committee will do.
04:30In the ambush interview, Bise Nalantara said that the bodies are preparing for the impeachment against her.
04:38What they are doing is very obvious.
04:41They are practicing what they will do.
04:45We are just doing our job.
04:47With respect to impeachment, I don't know anything about it.
04:50I don't know. I have no idea about impeachment.
04:54We are just doing our job.
04:57Even though she was not impeached,
04:59Vice President Duterte responded to the statement of Speaker Martin Romualdez
05:03that they will not consider the hypocrisy and evasion of government agencies regarding the budget.
05:10I know that because you are asking me about his speech.
05:16I am saying that what they are doing inside is what he described in his speech.
05:28As of now, they have not talked to President Bongbong Marcos yet.
05:33They last talked to him when he served as Education Secretary.
05:38No, we did not talk to him.
05:41We are not friends.
05:43We just met each other because we became running mates.
05:47And they asked if there is a chance for him to have a tandem with the Marcos.
05:52Oh, never again.
05:53For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
05:57Your witness.
06:27For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz.
