Maghapon at magdamag na nanatili sa Batasan Complex si Vice President Sara Duterte nang bisitahin ang naka-detine niyang chief of staff. Ang bise, nanatili sa opisina ng kapatid na si Congressman Paolo... kahit pinaki-usapan ng House Sergeant-at-Arms at pinatayan ng kuryente. Humiling pa si Duterte sa komite ng Kamara na masamahan hanggang Lunes sa detention ang OVP official na na-cite in contempt... pero hindi ito pinayagan!

00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Yesterday afternoon, Vice President Sara Duterte stayed at the Batasan Complex
00:11for a visit to the detainee chief of staff.
00:14Vice President Paula stayed at the office of Congressman Paolo
00:18even though the House Surgeon-at-Arms talked to her
00:21and the electricity was cut off.
00:23Duterte even asked the Committee of the Chamber
00:26to accompany the OVP official who was cited in contempt until Monday,
00:31but it was not allowed.
00:33And live from Quezon City, Ian Cruz.
00:37Ian.
00:41Mel, Vicky, Emil,
00:42Vice President Sara Duterte will be spending 24 hours here at Batasang Pabansa
00:47not leaving to accompany the detainee chief of staff.
00:51Good evening.
00:55Vice President Sara Duterte was in the chamber last night
00:58to accompany her chief of staff, Atty. Zulaika Lopez,
01:02who was detained in the chamber after being contempted
01:05by the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
01:09Earlier this morning at 11am,
01:11she was picked up by our team outside the detention center
01:14to talk to House Surgeon-at-Arms and retired Major General Napoleon Taas.
01:19Taas said that yesterday, VP Sara was told to visit her chief of staff
01:25after he was detained in the chamber last Wednesday night.
01:29Because of that, Lopez wrote to the Commission on Audit
01:32to tell them not to follow the order of the chamber
01:35that is issuing audit reports
01:38regarding the investigation of the confidential funds of the OVP and FED.
01:44Around 8pm when she arrived at Batasang Pabansa,
01:47Lopez was taken out of the detention center
01:50and brought to the Visitor's Center near Southgate
01:53where VP Sara met them.
01:56Around 10pm, Atty. Lopez was returned to his detention facility
02:01but VP Sara went to the office of Congressman Paulo Duterte
02:06in the South Wing Annex.
02:08Around 11.30pm, Taas talked to the protocol and security of the Vice President.
02:14If they could possibly already leave the premises
02:17as there is always a practice during long weekends
02:22that we turn off power in all our buildings.
02:26But the Vice President did not leave.
02:28He was there the whole night
02:30even though the electricity in the chamber was off
02:33until 12.30pm.
02:35We did not hear any complaint because I would assume
02:40we did not lack in reminding.
02:44We just said that it might get hot
02:46and I hope you understand
02:48because this is a policy house
02:50so that we can avoid accidents
02:53and we can also save electricity.
02:56Around 7.30am, the electricity was turned back on
02:59because there were people working in the South Wing Annex.
03:03Around 11am, when Congressman Duterte, VP Sara and his entourage left the cell
03:09he was allowed by the Committee on Good Government
03:12to visit Atty. Lopez again.
03:14Around 1pm, VP Sara was allowed to leave the detention center
03:19and around 4pm, VP Sara Duterte was seen with food
03:25on his way back to the detention center.
03:27Chairman of the House Committee on Good Government
03:30Congressman Joe Alchua
03:32wrote a letter asking for Atty. Lopez to be with him
03:36in his detention until November 25.
03:38Alchua did not allow this.
03:40We did not allow this
03:42because first of all, he is not part of the prison
03:49but he wrote again
03:52asking for permission to visit Atty. Sulaika
03:58and we allowed that.
04:00Congressman Duterte asked the committee
04:03that instead of the detention center
04:05to transfer Atty. Lopez to his position
04:08but the committee did not approve it.
04:11Atty. Lopez was asked by the committee
04:15to go to his therapy
04:18where he was allowed to give time and place
04:21and he was escorted by the House Surgeon at Arms.
04:24The House Surgeon at Arms said
04:26from 7am to 11am and 1pm to 5pm
04:30are the visiting hours for the detainees.
04:33If there is a session of Congress
04:35it can be extended to 7pm
04:37but the detainees should not be kept unlawfully
04:41within the law.
04:43We did not discuss when he will leave.
04:47As far as when he will leave,
04:49that is the discussion between us
04:51and the security and the protocol.
04:54We did not tell the Vice President.
04:57He can come tomorrow.
04:59Just don't stay here tonight
05:02because you know,
05:04we need to double the security
05:07because he is the second president.
05:09Last night, a lot of people overtimed.
05:14VP Sara was invited several times
05:16to the hearing of the committee
05:18about the spending of confidential funds
05:20of the DepEd and OVP
05:22but she did not attend.
05:23Lack of respect in the institution.
05:27We can see that
05:31whenever he wants,
05:35whatever he wants,
05:36that is what he will do.
05:38In fact,
05:40now,
05:42he was told,
05:43like earlier,
05:44I heard from the Surgeon at Arms,
05:46he was told to leave
05:50the office of Congressman Polong
05:53but he did not follow.
05:55So,
05:56to me,
05:58because we are officials,
06:01we should be careful in our actions.
06:05After the press conference,
06:07we tried to go to the South Wing.
06:10We wanted to go to the South Wing
06:14but we can see that there are guards here
06:17and we were instructed
06:19not to go near the detention center.
06:23Madam Vice President!
06:25Ma'am!
06:26GMA Integrated News is still trying
06:28to get the attention of Vice President Sardoterte
06:31and the Office of the Vice President.
06:34VP Sara also said
06:36that she is ready to accompany
06:38people even in detention
06:40in case they are contempted.
06:47We are still trying to get the attention
06:50of Vice President Sardoterte
06:52who is in front of a press conference
06:54tonight.
06:55For the latest,
06:56back to you, Vicky.
06:57Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
