00:00Sir, my question is about the home front.
00:05Itoho ang unang gyanin niyo is that you did not designate the Vice President as the caretaker.
00:10How should we read into this, Mr. President?
00:12Oh, because she's not part of the administration anymore.
00:16She's still in government, but she left the administration, so she's not part of the administration
00:21anymore.
00:22She's not part of the, really, the day-to-day running of what we're doing, so it would be
00:31unfair to ask her to now impose that duty on her, since that's not part of her work now.
00:39Should this not be construed as a complete falling out, or maybe a sign of distrust on
00:44your part towards her?
00:46No, it's a very practical reason, actually.
00:51That's how I came to that conclusion.
00:54If you notice, the membership of the Executive Committee are all part of that.
01:03Now, they're all members of the Cabinet, up to now.
01:06So, that would seem to be the obvious way to handle it.
01:10Sir, ang Sinatikon niya, you did offer your friends.
01:13How would you describe your relationship with the Vice President now?
01:17That's a good question.
01:20I don't know anymore.
01:22I'm not quite sure I understand.
01:25I'm a little dismayed to hear that she doesn't think that we are friends.
01:33I always thought that we were, but maybe I was deceived.
