00:00The security of President Bongbong Marcos has been doubled
00:04following the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:07The President left for the United Arab Emirates for a working visit.
00:12Duterte's so-called political persecution is what the government is doing to him.
00:17Ivan Mayrina reports.
00:20Those criminals who steal should not be allowed to cross.
00:28That is my promise.
00:31That is the answer of President Bongbong Marcos
00:34during the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte in her life this weekend.
00:38I was talking to someone.
00:40I told him, if you kill me, kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales.
00:48The President said, if that's how easy it is for the President to kill,
00:52how about the ordinary citizens?
00:55If only VP Sara had answered the questions about the use of confidential funds,
01:00this drama would not have happened to her.
01:03The truth should not be talked about.
01:06Instead of giving a straightforward answer,
01:08she is even avoiding the story of cheating.
01:11The cheating that the President is talking about
01:13probably has something to do with the suspicious name of Mary Grace Piatos
01:17who signed the acknowledgment receipt for the OVP fund.
01:21According to VP Sara's statements,
01:24she was called by the DOJ as a self-confessed mastermind of the assassination plot against the President.
01:30They will give her a chance to explain herself.
01:33It's okay, she is ready to answer.
01:36I would gladly answer, but they should also answer my questions to them.
01:44We will talk about it when the subpoena is there.
01:47She first said that she will kill the President if someone kills her.
01:51But for the DOJ,
01:53if such an event happens, who will benefit?
01:56She is the beneficiary of the death of the President.
01:59So her words have to be taken in the proper context.
02:04There are also many criminal cases that can be filed against the Vice President.
02:09She can also discipline the Ombudsman and disbar or remove his license as a lawyer.
02:15This is clear political harassment. This is clear political persecution.
02:20If it's a threat to you, it doesn't matter.
02:22If it's a threat to them, national security, where are you?
02:26In the first statement, VP Sara said that her statements about the President were maliciously taken out of context.
02:33She said that it was considered a national security concern by the National Security Council.
02:38The NSC said that the threat to the President is a national security concern.
02:49But apparently, they really do not consider the threat to the Vice President as anything of a concern.
02:56Ivan, we have more news for GMA Integrated News.
03:01House Speaker Martin Romualdez denied the accusation of Vice President Sara Duterte that she has a plan to kill the Vice President.
03:09During Duterte's visit to the House of Representatives,
03:12she questioned the extension of the contempt order against her Chief of Staff.
03:16Reports by Jonathan Anda.
03:21How can you ask a resource person without giving him copies?
03:26Mr. Chair, point of order.
03:28In the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,
03:32Vice President Sara Duterte and ACT Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro answered.
03:38Why is it that the Vice President is batting?
03:42Yes, ma'am. The point of order is proper.
03:45But there should be no point of order.
03:49The hearing was suspended, but VP Sara approached the congressmen leading the committee.
03:55The VP questioned the dismissal of Antipolo Representative Romeo Acop
04:00to Deped Special Disbursement Officer Edward Fajarda
04:03who did not give him a copy of the document being questioned.
04:07VP Sara also violated the contempt order for five days against her Chief of Staff, Atty. Zulaika Lopez.
04:14She did not respond to the hearing.
04:16Because according to the Certificate of Confinement and Excuse Letter she was given,
04:20she has an acute stress disorder.
04:23Her doctors are not saying that she is not physically incapable of attending today's hearing.
04:34We saw in the history of her evasive attitude, behavior,
04:42and the creation that she is saying that she is lying.
04:47If VP Sara knows about this, why would she blame Lopez for this?
04:51Among the four DepEd officials,
04:53the President is the one who is receiving resignations from Assistant Secretaries and Undersecretaries
04:58as this is also the appointing authority.
05:00I asked you earlier, who is the appointing authority?
05:04Yusef of ASEC, what is your answer?
05:06Secretary.
05:07You don't know.
05:08I haven't answered yet.
05:10I saw you answering.
05:12Camera.
05:14I saw you answering.
05:15You said Secretary.
05:16You don't know everything.
05:18The one who is appointing is the President.
05:23You need to reconsider that extension of your detention.
05:26It was illegal in the first place.
05:28You asked the President why he accepted the resignation.
05:33Do not ask due process.
05:36I will go to court.
05:37I will go to court.
05:39Yes.
05:40But every day, you are depriving a person of her liberty while I await.
05:47The special disbursing officer of the Office of the Vice President, Gina Acosta, is also in front of the camera.
05:52Acosta is the one who is being asked to sign the disbursement voucher
05:55and get a cheque for the P125 million in December 2022.
06:00But while being asked in front of the camera,
06:03she became weak and was taken to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
06:06According to VP Sara, Acosta's penalty is P150 million over P100 million.
06:11The DepEd Special Disbursement Officer, Edward Fajarda, was also taken by the camera.
06:15He withdrew P37.5 million three times in February 2023.
06:21In total, that amounted to P112 million in confidential funds.
06:26Fajarda said that the security officer, Colonel Dennis Nolasco,
06:30is the one who is giving money to those who are accepting confidential funds.
06:33The instruction came from VP Sara.
06:36This is the reason why we don't want to discuss confidential funds.
06:40That's why there is a law that prohibits the discussion of confidential funds.
06:46We will wait for Colonel Nolasco.
06:48VP Sara said that she doesn't know who gave Nolasco the money.
06:52Based on the liquidation report of the DepEd,
06:54the DepEd gave confidential funds to seven places including Makati, Davao, Negros Oriental, and Negros Occidental.
07:01Nolasco has nothing to do with the liquidation.
07:03House Speaker Martin Romualdez challenged VP Sara
07:06to answer the questions related to confidential funds.
07:09The issues surrounding confidential and intelligence funds,
07:13the questionable disbursements, and the lack of transparency demand answers.
07:19If you are not hiding anything, why don't you answer the questions?
07:24He also denied the accusation of VP Sara that she has a plan to kill him.
07:28He also denied the accusation of VP Sara that she has a plan to kill Romualdez,
07:34President Marcos, and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos.
07:37If someone is going to kill VP Sara.
07:40This is not a joke.
07:41This is not a normal statement.
07:44This is a direct threat to our democracy.
07:48Jonathan Andal reporting for GMA Integrated News.
07:52Former President Rodrigo Duterte spoke about the properties of his son,
07:56Vice President Sara Duterte, against President Marcos.
08:00Former President Duterte said,
08:02VP Sara's head just shrunk.
08:04He also said,
08:05it would be better if his son is just a prosecutor.
08:11Inday can't do that.
08:12Inday can do that.
08:14It's insignificant.
08:17Even if Inday is a prosecutor,
08:21he will still be a prosecutor.
08:22He won't be jailed.
08:27A passenger bus in Iloilo was set on fire.
08:31According to the firefighters, the fire started under the bus.
08:35The sunheat is a problem with the electrical wiring.
08:38No one was hurt because the driver, conductor, and 20 passengers were able to get out of the bus.
08:51It's huge.
08:53It's huge.
08:55More than 40 families lost their homes in Maypaho, Caloocan.
08:59Because of the boundary, some houses in Balut, Tondo, Manila were also set on fire.
09:03It's hard to respond because the entrance is very narrow.
09:07Because of the big fire yesterday in Isla Puting Bato,
09:10more than 2,000 families lost their homes.
09:15Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy,
09:18is in the middle of a new medical examination.
09:21According to the PNP, the court approved Kibuloy's motion for this.
09:25Kibuloy is scheduled to visit the Philippine Heart Center this Saturday.
09:28He is expected to return to the PNP Custodial Center on Wednesday.
09:33Darlene Cai reports for GMA Integrated News.
09:38It's already 30 days until Christmas.
09:41In addition to the Christmas trees you can see,
09:43there are more than 200 Christmas trees in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.
09:49It took more than two months to make the Christmas tree
09:52with the design of Noah's Ark.
09:55This is taller than the one they made last year, which is 197 feet.
10:02In Paris, the length of Champs-Élysées Avenue is amazing.
10:07The LED lights and wine glass are placed on 400 trees.
10:18Close your eyes.
10:21That is from her.
10:24Birthday girl, Zia Dandez, is excited about the special package from her idol, Olivia Rodrigo.
10:32Thank you!

10:36Zia's parents, Dandez and Rivera, are looking forward to their 10 years of marriage next month.
10:44My husband is the one who planned this.
10:46I don't want to celebrate this because we've been blessed by God for 10 years.
10:53Very simple with family.
