00:00The congressmen are condemning any threat of chaos to the government.
00:04This is part of their signed manifesto
00:06that was given to President Bongbong Marcos last night.
00:09May 1 news, Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:15This is the manifesto of support of the congressmen for President Bongbong Marcos.
00:21It states that any threat against the President is a threat to the Republic.
00:26That is why they will defend the safety of the President
00:29and the integrity of his administration.
00:32It was also stated in the manifesto that they are condemning any threat
00:36to destabilize or disturb the government.
00:39The manifesto was signed by House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:43other leaders of the House of Representatives,
00:45and leaders of the Laka CMD,
00:48National Unity Party,
00:50Nationalist People's Coalition,
00:52Nacionalista Party,
00:54Partido Federal ng Pilipinas,
00:56and Partido na Votenyo.
00:58The manifesto was presented to the President
01:01at the Fellowship Dinner in Malacanang.
01:03It was a very touch
01:05and a big thing for him
01:07that the House of Representatives has support.
01:10The manifesto mentioned destabilization.
01:14That is why the congressmen were asked about this.
01:17There was no disturbance,
01:18but you saw the threats to our President.
01:23I think it would warrant any kind of support,
01:26formal or informal.
01:28In the questioning of some congressmen,
01:30the head of the AFP Intelligence Command said
01:33that destabilization should not be left to the military.
01:38More than 200 congressmen were asked to attend the dinner
01:42while some were in buses when they arrived in Malacanang.
01:46When the Fellowship Dinner took place,
01:48the second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte
01:52was submitted to the House of Representatives.
01:55But some said that the impeachment was not discussed.
02:07According to the Secretary General of the House of Representatives,
02:09the two impeachment complaints against Vice President Duterte
02:13were not yet transmitted to the Office of the Speaker
02:17because there were congressmen who told him
02:20that they also have plans to file a complaint.
02:23Sir, would you know when the others will file?
02:26We do not know.
02:28Our legal staff is also studying the email complaint,
02:33if there is a lack, if it is verified,
02:36so that the Speaker can decide on the basis of the information that we will submit.
02:42The target of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives
02:44is for the camera to transmit the complaints to the Office of the Speaker
02:48next week before the congressman's recess or vacation on December 20.
02:54If one-third of the total number of congressmen
02:58signed the impeachment complaint,
03:00it will not be heard by the camera.
03:02It will be passed to the Senate, which will be the impeachment court.
03:07According to Senate President Cheese Escudero,
03:10it is possible to hold impeachment hearings even if the Congress is on break.
03:15The impeachment court will be neutral.
03:18I will make sure that the presentation of evidence will be allowed and will flow freely.
03:23However, the decision does not mean that it is evidence or not evidence-based.
03:29It is a political decision.
03:30But the process as a presiding officer,
03:34I can guarantee that and I have high confidence in that.
03:37We will do our best to ensure that any evidence will be released
03:42without violating the rights of the accused or anyone else.
03:47Following the hearing of the impeachment complaints against the Vice President,
03:51the Church Of Christ issued a statement.
03:54The INC said,
03:56they are in favor of what President Marcos is saying,
03:59that he is not in favor of the impeachment
04:02against the Vice President.
04:05There are more needs of our fellow countrymen that should be discussed
04:10and this cannot be achieved if there is only fighting.
04:15The statement of the INC was the first to be announced in the program,
04:19Saganang Mamamayan, in NET25.
04:22Included in this is the Church's readiness to hold a rally
04:28to express the INC's favor of what the President said against the impeachment
04:34because the country has a lot of problems that the government should be prioritizing.
04:39The GMA Integrated News tried to clarify this to the leadership of the INC.
04:44But they said,
04:46the statement they sent was wrong,
04:48what they will say first.
04:50We are also trying to get the approval of Malacanang and Vice President Duterte.
04:56The statement was released,
04:58but they are thankful to all those who helped, supported and joined the OVP
05:06when they faced their responsibility in the crisis and crisis.
05:11This is the first news.
