00:00Some congressmen are planning to file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte
00:06according to the House Secretary General.
00:08At the fellowship dinner in Malacanang last night,
00:11congressmen strengthened their support for President Bongbong Marcos.
00:16Witness Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:22This is the manifesto of support of congressmen for President Bongbong Marcos.
00:27It states here that any threat against the President is a threat to the Republic.
00:33That's why they will ensure the safety of the President and the integrity of his administration.
00:39It was also stated in the manifesto that they are condemning any attempt
00:43to destabilize or disturb the government.
00:46The manifesto was signed by House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:50other leaders of the House of Representatives,
00:52and leaders of the Laka CMD, National Unity Party, Nationalist People's Coalition,
00:59Nacionalista Party, Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, and Partido na Votenyo.
01:05The manifesto was signed by the President at the fellowship dinner in Malacanang last night.
01:11He was very touched and it's a big thing for him that the House of Representatives has support.
01:18The manifesto mentioned destabilization.
01:22That's why the congressmen were asked here.
01:25There was no disturbance but you saw the threats against our President.
01:29I think it would warrant any kind of support, formal or informal.
01:36In the questioning of some lawmakers yesterday,
01:38the head of the AFP Intelligence Command said that there should be no destabilization of the military.
01:46More than 200 congressmen were asked to attend the dinner,
01:50some of whom were in buses when they arrived in Malacanang.
01:55The fellowship dinner took place after the second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte was filed in the House of Representatives.
02:04But some of them said that they were not able to talk about the impeachment.
02:09They were not able to talk about it.
02:11They just greeted each other with Merry Christmas and sang.
02:15It's a way to greet our President.
02:20At the same time, last night, party leaders submitted a resolution expressing support to the President.
02:30According to the Secretary General of the House of Representatives,
02:33he has not yet transmitted the two impeachment complaints against Vice President Duterte in the Office of the Speaker.
02:41Because there are congressmen who told him that they also have plans to file the complaint.
02:47Sir would you know when others will file their complaints?
02:50We don't know.
02:51We are also studying our legal staff on the female complaint.
02:57If there's a lack or if it's verified, the Speaker can decide on the basis of the information that we will submit.
03:05The target of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives is to transmit the complaints to the Office of the Speaker next week
03:12before the Congressional vacation on December 20.
03:17If one-third of the total number of congressmen signed the impeachment complaint,
03:23it will not be heard by the House of Representatives.
03:26It will be passed to the Senate, which will be the impeachment court.
03:30Senate President Chis Escudero said that it is possible to hold impeachment hearings even if the Congress is broken.
03:38The impeachment court will be neutral.
03:41I will make sure that the presentation of evidence will be allowed and will flow freely.
03:46However, the decision does not mean that it is evidence or not evidence-based.
03:52It is a political decision.
03:53But the process as a presiding officer, I can guarantee that and I have high confidence in that.
04:00We will do all possible means to ensure that any evidence will be released without violating the rights of the accused or anyone else.
04:10Following the hearing of the impeachment complaints against Vice, the Church Of Christ issued a statement.
04:18According to the INC, they are in favor of what President Marcos is saying,
04:23that he is not in favor of the impeachment that is being initiated against the Vice President.
04:29Our countrymen still need more cases to be heard,
04:34and this will not happen if you will always see only fights.
04:39The statement of the INC was first announced last night in the Saganang Mamamayan program on NET25.
04:46Included in this statement is the Church Of Christ's readiness to hold a rally
04:52to announce the favor of the INC in the statement of the President against the impeachment
04:58because the country has a lot of problems that the government should prioritize.
05:03The GMA Integrated News tried to explain this to the leadership of the INC,
05:08but they said that the statement they sent earlier is fake and they will say it first.
05:14We are trying to get the approval of Malacanang and Vice President Duterte.
05:20The statement was released today by the Vice President,
05:23but they are thankful to all the help, support and support of the OVP
05:31when they faced their responsibility in the crisis and crisis.
05:36For GMA Integrated News, I'm Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
