00:00President Bongbong Marcos and his cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:05opposed Vice President Sara Duterte's statements against them.
00:10Why didn't they just answer the busy issue about confidential funds?
00:14The busy issue about that hasn't been answered yet.
00:17First news, Macky Polito.
00:24In the plenary of the House of Representatives,
00:25Speaker Martin Romualdez answered Vice President Sara Duterte's statements.
00:30It's alarming, and the busy issue can't be ignored,
00:34that President Bongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and Speaker Romualdez
00:39have a contract to kill.
00:41Because these kinds of statements are dangerous, they need to be answered.
00:46This is no longer a joke.
00:48This is no longer a normal statement.
00:51This is a direct threat to our democracy,
00:55to our security, and to the security of our country.
01:05Such statement is not just reckless, it is dangerous.
01:09It sends a chilling message to our people.
01:12A message that violence can be contemplated by those in positions of power.
01:18Romualdez is determined to remove from the real issue the accusations of the Vice President.
01:48The confounding confidential and intelligence funds, the questionable disbursements,
01:53and the lack of transparency demand answers.
01:57We will not tolerate and accept vague explanations and evasive responses.
02:04If you have nothing to hide, why don't you answer the questions?
02:08It is the right of the people to know the truth.
02:12Romualdez also denied following the protocol of the Camera.
02:17Disrespect for the protocols, security measures, and leadership of this institution
02:24is not just a breach of rules, it is a breach of trust.
02:29After Romualdez's statement, some congressmen also spoke
02:33to condemn the statements of the Vice President
02:36and called for an investigation to answer him.
02:40The House must take immediate action.
02:43We must call for a full investigation into the Vice President.
02:48Mr. Speaker, the behavior cannot just be tolerated.
02:52And we demand that the Vice President face the full force of the law for actions.
02:58We cannot and will not allow anyone, even the Vice President,
03:04to threaten the very foundation of this Republic.
03:08Congressmen also approved the resolution asking for support from the President and the Speaker.
03:13After the interview, lawmakers, including Romualdez,
03:18as well as his allies VP Sara, the former President,
03:21and the former Second District Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
03:25Romualdez also watched VP Sara, who was inside the Chamber at that time.
03:31We are still trying to get her statement from what Romualdez said.
03:35This is the first news, Macky Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
