Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    L'officiel décline l'aide d'un avocat offert pour son cas d'impeachment, soulignant l'importance de maintenir de bons fonctionnaires publics. Il affirme avoir déjà constitué une équipe légale compétente et prépare la défense des articles d'impeachment en attendant leur version officielle.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Le gouvernement envisage de déposer d'autres accusations contre l'officiel et plusieurs collègues en relation avec la mauvaise utilisation supposée de fonds confidentiels. L'officiel affirme que des avocats ont été assignés pour chaque cas afin de mieux le gérer.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    L'officiel répond aux accusations d'évasion concernant l'utilisation de fonds confidentiels par le Congrès en disant qu'il ne répond qu'à la Commission d'audit à propos de ces fonds. Il défend que les questions posées relèvent de la sécurité nationale.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    L'officiel exprime son mécontentement face à ce qu'il considère comme une attaque politique ciblant le bureau du vice-président. Il réitère que l'utilisation des fonds confidentiels est justifiée par la sécurité nationale et a été approuvée par les organes compétents.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    Il discute de la justification des fonds confidentiels pour le bureau du vice-président et le ministère de l'éducation, notant la corrélation entre la pauvreté, l'éducation et la sécurité nationale pour cibler les projets à travers ces fonds.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    L'officiel explique pourquoi son bureau préfère gérer directement certains renseignements pour des actions rapides, tout en contre-argumentant les allégations concernant des faux reçus selon un article paru.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    L'officiel refuse d'authentifier des documents contestés sans vérification appropriée et explique son manque de confiance dans les enquêtes exécutées par leurs détracteurs, évoquant une campagne politique à son encontre.

  • 00:35:00 - 00:40:00

    Il s'exprime sur le manque de rétablissement du budget 2024, se disant déjà perçu comme un problème par ceux au pouvoir. Ce manque de budget impactera probablement le fonctionnement de ses bureaux satellites.

  • 00:40:00 - 00:47:30

    Il conclut néanmoins que l'affaire dont il est l'objet pourrait faire partie d'une stratégie visant à influencer l'opinion publique à l'approche des élections présidentielles de 2028, et qu'il privilégiera la décision appropriée en fonction des circonstances politiques.

  • 00:00:03
    plans of doing that I have no plans of
  • 00:00:06
    uh leaving the country to
  • 00:00:15
    hide Congress Mara offers
  • 00:00:19
    himself
  • 00:00:23
    law you will you accept the offer um no
  • 00:00:28
    I think um well first off I'd like to
  • 00:00:31
    thank uh Congressman rodante Mareta for
  • 00:00:35
    his offer uh to be my lawyer in the
  • 00:00:38
    impeachment case um I appreciate it
  • 00:00:42
    because he's a very good lawyer he's a
  • 00:00:44
    brilliant lawyer in fact uh he pointed
  • 00:00:49
    out to me points during the Committee
  • 00:00:52
    hearing that I was as a lawyer I was not
  • 00:00:54
    able to um see so um that show his um
  • 00:01:02
    astuteness in uh the
  • 00:01:05
    law but um I feel that he will better
  • 00:01:10
    serve the country if he remains as a
  • 00:01:13
    member of the House of Representatives
  • 00:01:16
    uh that is what is important right now
  • 00:01:19
    we need good public servants good
  • 00:01:22
    leaders good uh officials in uh
  • 00:01:26
    government and I assure everyone that uh
  • 00:01:29
    we we already have lawyers helping us in
  • 00:01:34
    fact the moment that uh France Castro
  • 00:01:38
    announced last year that they are
  • 00:01:41
    planning to file an impeachment we
  • 00:01:43
    already talked to uh
  • 00:01:45
    lawyers who will handle the impeachment
  • 00:01:50
    case at the time but now cases Pala
  • 00:01:53
    three so we just need more uh lawyers
  • 00:01:57
    and uh we already discussed this with
  • 00:02:00
    the first team that we know hired as
  • 00:02:25
    lawyers oh okay yes ma'am so very
  • 00:02:29
    recently we had a meeting with the
  • 00:02:32
    lawyers and um what was discussed there
  • 00:02:36
    was the arrangements because we needed
  • 00:02:39
    more lawyers we are expecting another
  • 00:02:42
    impeachment case now so this this may be
  • 00:02:44
    three impeachment
  • 00:02:46
    cases so and then
  • 00:02:50
    um we will await official copy of the
  • 00:02:54
    Articles of
  • 00:02:56
    impeachment so that um they can
  • 00:03:00
    um repair the defense we already have
  • 00:03:04
    advanced copies of what is filed in the
  • 00:03:06
    House of Representatives and they're
  • 00:03:08
    starting
  • 00:03:11
    Preparatory works right now
  • 00:03:30
    um sides um how do you feel right now
  • 00:03:34
    and if for example impeachment comes
  • 00:03:36
    through um are you confident with the
  • 00:03:39
    numbers both in Congress and uh no we're
  • 00:03:43
    not uh confident with numbers ma'am um
  • 00:03:46
    because uh impeachment is a legal
  • 00:03:48
    process and a political activity so we
  • 00:03:51
    are confident with the legal aspect of
  • 00:03:55
    the impeachment
  • 00:03:57
    because um
  • 00:04:00
    um all the lawyers that I asked to
  • 00:04:03
    review the initial draft of the
  • 00:04:05
    impeachment
  • 00:04:07
    complaint this is not um well they would
  • 00:04:10
    say it's not an impeachable offense and
  • 00:04:13
    this is not an actionable offense uh
  • 00:04:16
    things like that lawyer talk but uh with
  • 00:04:19
    regard to uh politics that is a
  • 00:04:22
    different matter all together so we do
  • 00:04:24
    not know what will happen that
  • 00:04:30
    uh well that's
  • 00:04:33
    politics um they always say that uh
  • 00:04:36
    there are no per permanent friends and
  • 00:04:37
    enemies in uh politics so um it really
  • 00:04:43
    depends on the person and the politician
  • 00:04:46
    or uh what path he will
  • 00:04:54
    [Music]

  • 00:07:57
    France Castro impeachment so the
  • 00:08:00
    moment and the
  • 00:08:05
    moment atts against
  • 00:08:18
    me singap you already mentioned your
  • 00:08:21
    lawers are preped
  • 00:08:23
    toes but the opposition groups who have
  • 00:08:26
    filed the fil the complains against you
  • 00:08:29
    are accusing you of being evasive in
  • 00:08:31
    your answers and the alleged corruption
  • 00:08:33
    and misuse of millions of um
  • 00:08:36
    confidential funds MAA you can offer an
  • 00:08:39
    explanation also to taxpayers how above
  • 00:08:43
    board confidential
  • 00:08:46
    funds question once and for all yes
  • 00:08:49
    ma'am I'm not being evasive um if you're
  • 00:08:51
    referring to the Congress to the budget
  • 00:08:54
    hearing and the hearings in the house of
  • 00:08:57
    rep Representatives I'm not being visit
  • 00:08:59
    I am not answering the questions because
  • 00:09:04
    they have no authority to ask
  • 00:09:09
    confidential
  • 00:09:10
    questions I am answering questions about
  • 00:09:14
    the use of the money in the commission
  • 00:09:16
    on audit and there is no you ask the
  • 00:09:19
    commission on audit if there was
  • 00:09:21
    anything at all that they can say or see
  • 00:09:25
    that we are not Cooperative with the
  • 00:09:28
    audit
  • 00:09:29
    so it is wrong to say that I am invasive
  • 00:09:32
    I am definitely not answering questions
  • 00:09:35
    about the use of the fund about
  • 00:09:37
    confidential funds because it pertains
  • 00:09:39
    to National Security and the lives of
  • 00:09:42
    the people involved in intelligence
  • 00:09:46
    operations and uh yes as I
  • 00:09:50
    said we have fully cooperated with the
  • 00:09:54
    audit process of the commission on audit
  • 00:09:57
    who has the sole jurisdic to ask
  • 00:10:00
    questions about the use of confidential
  • 00:10:03
    funds funds in fact um two quarters of
  • 00:10:09
    the Department of Education are already
  • 00:10:11
    cleared by the commission on audit but
  • 00:10:15
    it is still being questioned inside the
  • 00:10:19
    committee uh in the House of
  • 00:10:21
    Representatives
  • 00:10:23
    so um that is the reason why I am not
  • 00:10:27
    answering questions from the House of
  • 00:10:30
    Representatives plus the fact that as I
  • 00:10:32
    said it is an attack it is a political
  • 00:10:35
    attack if you were if
  • 00:10:38
    you're you are in Aid of legislation and
  • 00:10:42
    you want to legislate about confidential
  • 00:10:44
    funds you do not Target one office and
  • 00:10:48
    terrorize and torment the employees with
  • 00:10:53
    of that office what you do is you what
  • 00:10:56
    uh do a sampling a random sampling of
  • 00:11:00
    the offices who have confidential funds
  • 00:11:03
    why not call the office of the president
  • 00:11:05
    who has billions and billions of
  • 00:11:07
    confidential funds if you want to
  • 00:11:10
    legislate about uh confidential funds
  • 00:11:12
    and that
  • 00:11:14
    shows that um they're singling out the
  • 00:11:17
    office of the vice president and I
  • 00:11:20
    really feel that it's very
  • 00:11:22
    disrespectful to the office of the vice
  • 00:11:24
    president that is also why when they ask
  • 00:11:27
    that I respect their process you know
  • 00:11:31
    beget respect begets respect so if they
  • 00:11:34
    want respect they should first respect
  • 00:11:37
    the office of the vice president that is
  • 00:11:39
    what I was saying that they don't like
  • 00:11:41
    me they don't like my person they don't
  • 00:11:44
    like IND D but they have to respect the
  • 00:11:47
    office of the vice president so if they
  • 00:11:49
    want to investigate con confidential
  • 00:11:52
    funds they don't single out one office I
  • 00:11:55
    understand ma'am uh VP just a followup
  • 00:11:57
    was it yesterday or the other day uh the
  • 00:11:59
    house also alleges that over 400
  • 00:12:03
    names acknowledgement receipts again on
  • 00:12:06
    the issue of the confidential funds ww
  • 00:12:09
    records at the BSA could ma'am you could
  • 00:12:12
    offer an explanation because we know
  • 00:12:15
    that this is a
  • 00:12:20
    legal explanation if this is
  • 00:12:23
    above birth certificate no no I will not
  • 00:12:27
    explain I will not give
  • 00:12:29
    explanation because it will entail that
  • 00:12:32
    I
  • 00:12:33
    explain intelligence operations with
  • 00:12:37
    which will
  • 00:12:39
    compromise offices who do intelligence
  • 00:12:43
    operations it will really compromise how
  • 00:12:45
    they work so no no explanation will be
  • 00:12:49
    given to the members of the House of
  • 00:12:52
    Representatives one final followup from
  • 00:12:54
    me ma' then what's your response to
  • 00:12:56
    accusations that an office like the de
  • 00:12:58
    Ed and the OV have no um have no
  • 00:13:01
    jurisdiction amount to have these
  • 00:13:02
    confidential funds um that are spent for
  • 00:13:05
    National
  • 00:13:06
    Security well the confidential funds was
  • 00:13:10
    the first uh transfer of uh confidential
  • 00:13:17
    funds was from the office from the
  • 00:13:20
    contingent funds to the office of the
  • 00:13:22
    vice president and this was approved by
  • 00:13:25
    the office of the president the next
  • 00:13:28
    year year confidential funds was uh
  • 00:13:32
    2023 and we submitted it to the
  • 00:13:35
    Department of budget and management it
  • 00:13:38
    was approved by the department of budget
  • 00:13:40
    and management and therefore it implies
  • 00:13:42
    that it was approved by the Office of
  • 00:13:44
    the President because it was included in
  • 00:13:46
    the National
  • 00:13:48
    expenditure uh program the NP
  • 00:13:52
    so and then it was approved by Congress
  • 00:13:56
    as well the only reason why we did did
  • 00:13:59
    not use the confidential funds on the
  • 00:14:00
    fourth quarter for both offices because
  • 00:14:03
    we I was already flagged by a friend
  • 00:14:08
    inside the House of Representatives that
  • 00:14:10
    they will attack you using confidential
  • 00:14:14
    funds
  • 00:14:16
    so so yes it was duly approved by the
  • 00:14:20
    Office of the President and both houses
  • 00:14:23
    of Congress as well as because it was
  • 00:14:25
    included in the general Appropriations
  • 00:14:27
    act so it was not we presented it we
  • 00:14:32
    defended it they approved it we used it
  • 00:14:36
    and then um the question on utilization
  • 00:14:39
    is uh under the commission on audit that
  • 00:14:42
    is how the system works they cannot use
  • 00:14:48
    or they
  • 00:14:50
    cannot um twist the system according to
  • 00:14:54
    their personal interests really all
  • 00:15:01
    this
  • 00:15:03
    uh circumstances and events happening
  • 00:15:06
    surrounding the office of the vice
  • 00:15:07
    president is a race to the presidential
  • 00:15:11
    election in
  • 00:15:14
    2028 Unfortunately they are attacking
  • 00:15:17
    the office as well
  • 00:15:22
    so and the person of the office of the
  • 00:15:26
    vice president so
  • 00:15:55
    I'll afteron
  • 00:15:59
    after Madam vice president I'm just
  • 00:16:00
    going to pick up on Mar's line of
  • 00:16:04
    questioning um you said uh and I
  • 00:16:08
    understand your explanation about this
  • 00:16:10
    these confidential funds hav't been
  • 00:16:12
    approved by several layers in the
  • 00:16:15
    government but maybe just to go back to
  • 00:16:18
    the basics if you can explain to
  • 00:16:21
    ordinary Filipinos why the office of the
  • 00:16:23
    vice president needs confidential and
  • 00:16:26
    intelligence funds okay yes for the
  • 00:16:29
    office of the vice president it's not
  • 00:16:30
    the first time that uh the office has
  • 00:16:33
    granted confidential funds during the
  • 00:16:35
    time of Vice President uh Bai the office
  • 00:16:39
    was already given confidential funds the
  • 00:16:42
    confidential funds we use in relation to
  • 00:16:45
    our work and National
  • 00:16:49
    Security all the projects and the
  • 00:16:52
    programs of the office of the vice
  • 00:16:53
    president Target poverty alleviation
  • 00:16:56
    there is a direct correlation between
  • 00:16:58
    poverty and national uh
  • 00:17:02
    security so um what we do is we want to
  • 00:17:06
    Target the areas where we put our
  • 00:17:10
    projects so that we achieve know peace
  • 00:17:14
    and Order
  • 00:17:15
    security so we don't want
  • 00:17:19
    to um we don't want our
  • 00:17:25
    projects put in areas where it is not
  • 00:17:29
    needed for poverty
  • 00:17:31
    alleviation so we want to
  • 00:17:34
    prioritize uh the areas and the only way
  • 00:17:37
    to do that is to use confidential funds
  • 00:17:39
    to purchase
  • 00:17:41
    information so where are the target
  • 00:17:43
    areas we need that so that our projects
  • 00:17:47
    will be will serve uh these areas so
  • 00:17:51
    that's why we needed the confidential
  • 00:17:53
    funds
  • 00:17:55
    in in the Department of Education uh um
  • 00:17:59
    there is a uh correlation as well of the
  • 00:18:03
    education and National Security in fact
  • 00:18:06
    uh that is one of
  • 00:18:09
    uh of there is a correlation as well of
  • 00:18:12
    education and national uh security there
  • 00:18:14
    are so many threats uh to education not
  • 00:18:17
    just uh
  • 00:18:18
    Insurgency um and threats to a
  • 00:18:22
    Department of Education personnel and
  • 00:18:24
    students as well and we wanted to Target
  • 00:18:27
    projects of the Department of Education
  • 00:18:30
    as well in the most vulnerable areas and
  • 00:18:35
    schools that is why we needed uh
  • 00:18:38
    confidential funds it's all about
  • 00:18:40
    National Security and the position of
  • 00:18:43
    the office of the vice president and the
  • 00:18:44
    Department of Education is that the
  • 00:18:47
    National Security is a holistic concept
  • 00:18:50
    it's just it's not just one uh like uh
  • 00:18:54
    territorial defense sovereignty no
  • 00:18:57
    National Security is about food secur
  • 00:18:58
    SEC it's about quality of Education it's
  • 00:19:02
    about poverty alleviation and everything
  • 00:19:04
    else that we need to do as a country to
  • 00:19:08
    get this get us out of this poverty rout
  • 00:19:13
    but you are in the ntfl so couldn't have
  • 00:19:16
    your offices work with the nflc as well
  • 00:19:19
    as other government agencies that
  • 00:19:22
    actually have National Security mandates
  • 00:19:25
    um in the ndfl C they are only about um
  • 00:19:33
    uh and local
  • 00:19:36
    armed conflict and
  • 00:19:39
    local and local or
  • 00:19:43
    there so that is very specific to that
  • 00:19:47
    um local conflict and uh
  • 00:19:50
    communism so as I said uh the projects
  • 00:19:55
    and the programs of OBP Target poverty
  • 00:19:58
    alleviation and there's so many factors
  • 00:20:00
    affecting poverty and there are so many
  • 00:20:03
    threats to education not just uh in but
  • 00:20:07
    there are also other government agencies
  • 00:20:09
    with National Security mandates that you
  • 00:20:12
    can work with your offices can work yes
  • 00:20:15
    that is true but we work far faster if
  • 00:20:19
    we are allowed to purchase information
  • 00:20:21
    and Target our projects immediately on
  • 00:20:24
    the certain school or certain bangi or
  • 00:20:27
    certain um municipality we we move
  • 00:20:31
    faster if we can Target our projects
  • 00:20:35
    okay um going back to the confidential
  • 00:20:39
    funds that was Al also about
  • 00:20:41
    confidential funds but the names that
  • 00:20:43
    are being verified by the Phil
  • 00:20:45
    statistics for I know you said that you
  • 00:20:47
    you can't explain because they're
  • 00:20:49
    confidential in nature but maybe just a
  • 00:20:51
    yes or no because other names have
  • 00:20:53
    cropped up uh aside from Mary Grace
  • 00:20:56
    Patos we have chippy McDonald Fernando
  • 00:21:00
    tempura Carlos
  • 00:21:02
    Oishi uh raunda Nova uh these were
  • 00:21:06
    mentioned in a column at the Philippine
  • 00:21:09
    in the Philippine Star and uh Joel Chua
  • 00:21:13
    Congressman Joel Chua was
  • 00:21:15
    quoted are yes or no are these Cod
  • 00:21:19
    names
  • 00:21:25
    um
  • 00:21:27
    um I
  • 00:21:29
    cannot explain confidential funds
  • 00:21:33
    because it will entail
  • 00:21:36
    explaining um intelligence
  • 00:21:39
    operations and there is a
  • 00:21:42
    law that
  • 00:21:45
    prohibits
  • 00:21:47
    officials who gathering information
  • 00:21:50
    because of their office to divulge it in
  • 00:21:56
    public so it's the anti-graft Corrupt
  • 00:21:59
    Practices Act there is a specific
  • 00:22:02
    provision of law you cannot divulge
  • 00:22:05
    confidential information that
  • 00:22:08
    you
  • 00:22:10
    um that
  • 00:22:13
    you uh received while in office so you
  • 00:22:18
    won't even say these are no that's
  • 00:22:19
    because that will add to cases that may
  • 00:22:23
    be filed against me
  • 00:22:28
    uh one last one last sorry yes why the
  • 00:22:32
    choice of a letter submitted to the NBI
  • 00:22:35
    instead of an a wait hold on I can
  • 00:22:38
    answer I can give you a very short
  • 00:22:40
    answer with regard to ARS I had nothing
  • 00:22:43
    to do with the preparation of ARS it
  • 00:22:45
    went down to the
  • 00:22:47
    Grassroots uh level so I had nothing to
  • 00:22:50
    do with reparations of ARS I was up here
  • 00:22:54
    in the structure and money went down
  • 00:22:58
    information so you have no knowledge why
  • 00:23:01
    all these names were used in the
  • 00:23:03
    acknowledgment receipts in the first
  • 00:23:05
    place we do not even know if these are
  • 00:23:09
    um ARS which came
  • 00:23:12
    from uh deped or ovp to Kaa to because
  • 00:23:16
    there's a chain of evidence
  • 00:23:19
    supposedly in La there's a change of
  • 00:23:22
    chain of evidence handling of evidence
  • 00:23:25
    so right now nobody can really answer
  • 00:23:27
    that because nobody knows
  • 00:23:29
    if these ARS are
  • 00:23:31
    true because we don't know if it came
  • 00:23:33
    from us that's what they're that's what
  • 00:23:36
    they're alleging yes that's what they're
  • 00:23:37
    saying came from the OB submitted to yes
  • 00:23:41
    but there is a legal process in the
  • 00:23:44
    custody of evidence so right now we
  • 00:23:47
    really cannot say if the ARs came from
  • 00:23:50
    us because the ARs that are with us has
  • 00:23:55
    not
  • 00:23:56
    been uh checked with the ARs that are
  • 00:23:59
    with
  • 00:24:00
    them you're denying that the AR came no
  • 00:24:03
    I'm just saying that we do not even know
  • 00:24:06
    if the ARs with us are the ARs that are
  • 00:24:10
    with them because the ARs from from from
  • 00:24:13
    the field going to the office going to
  • 00:24:16
    Kaa that's not how you do uh legal
  • 00:24:20
    work it's not how you do legal work
  • 00:24:23
    there's a very stringent process in
  • 00:24:25
    evidence that is why even if there is no
  • 00:24:29
    law prohibiting a person from divulging
  • 00:24:32
    confidential information person cannot
  • 00:24:35
    answer that because we do not know if
  • 00:24:39
    that paper that they're holding was a
  • 00:24:41
    paper that
  • 00:24:42
    came from the OBP in the P because there
  • 00:24:48
    was no marking of exhibits that was what
  • 00:24:51
    I was telling Congressman Chua you
  • 00:24:55
    cannot
  • 00:24:56
    ask the OB Personnel to say yes or no to
  • 00:25:01
    um exhibit that was not
  • 00:25:04
    marked as real and true as
  • 00:25:08
    correct and as a faithful reproduction
  • 00:25:12
    of the evidence of the office so so
  • 00:25:15
    would your offices then be willing to
  • 00:25:18
    certify no because there is no there is
  • 00:25:21
    no question about that from the
  • 00:25:23
    commission on audit it's only a
  • 00:25:26
    congressman saying that
  • 00:25:29
    this
  • 00:25:31
    paper and asking what is this paper
  • 00:25:34
    about there is
  • 00:25:36
    no there is no
  • 00:25:39
    case and that is the to ask that about
  • 00:25:43
    the paper is the sole jurisdiction of
  • 00:25:47
    the commission on audit okay so then if
  • 00:25:50
    the commission on audit asks that is
  • 00:25:53
    what we are that is what I was saying we
  • 00:25:55
    have been fully
  • 00:25:57
    Cooperative with the commission on
  • 00:25:59
    audit everything that they asked for we
  • 00:26:03
    submitted that is why there was a
  • 00:26:04
    partial disallowance only and even then
  • 00:26:08
    we are not yet finished with the
  • 00:26:12
    process because we can still
  • 00:26:16
    submit um documents that are required by
  • 00:26:20
    the commission on audit that is the
  • 00:26:22
    problem uh right now as I said they are
  • 00:26:26
    doing work that they are not that uh
  • 00:26:28
    that is not under the Mandate of the
  • 00:26:30
    House of Representatives they cannot
  • 00:26:31
    audit they cannot question at all they
  • 00:26:35
    cannot make me
  • 00:26:37
    answer um and say that uh we represent
  • 00:26:41
    the taxpayers and you have to answer no
  • 00:26:43
    I will only answer to the commissional
  • 00:26:45
    audit because that is the body who can
  • 00:26:48
    ask us questions about the fund use next
  • 00:26:52
    question AB afternoon ma'am ma'am on the
  • 00:26:56
    issue of your budget not being
  • 00:26:59
    reinstated or re or restored your
  • 00:27:01
    reaction first on the decision of the by
  • 00:27:03
    Camal conference
  • 00:27:05
    committee when we do not expect anything
  • 00:27:08
    about the budget of the office of the
  • 00:27:10
    vice president uh anymore as I said um
  • 00:27:17
    the and
  • 00:27:19
    the before I was saying that I am not a
  • 00:27:22
    problem I've been saying that I'm not a
  • 00:27:25
    problem the problem of the Philippines
  • 00:27:30
    is corruption and all the other peace
  • 00:27:34
    and Order issues but uh it uh it is
  • 00:27:38
    clear uh right now that they consider me
  • 00:27:42
    as the problem already so I will not
  • 00:27:44
    help them solve the
  • 00:27:48
    problem ma'am a followup question uh
  • 00:27:51
    it's nearly January already your office
  • 00:27:53
    will be uh filing a new budget request
  • 00:27:56
    for 2026 how much do you intend to ask
  • 00:27:59
    from Congress for 2026 we've not
  • 00:28:02
    discussed that uh we we need to wait for
  • 00:28:05
    the budget call uh because the budget
  • 00:28:07
    call outlines the rules of uh your
  • 00:28:10
    proposal for Budget uh for your office
  • 00:28:14
    so we need to to read uh the budget
  • 00:28:18
    call before we can sit down and discuss
  • 00:28:22
    a budget proposal for the office of the
  • 00:28:25
    vice president ma' but top of mine are
  • 00:28:27
    you still considering to hike the 733
  • 00:28:31
    million or will you be happy operating
  • 00:28:34
    at the same expenses in 2026 I cannot
  • 00:28:36
    answer that because uh There Are Rules
  • 00:28:39
    uh they usually put conditions in the
  • 00:28:41
    budget call and we really need to read
  • 00:28:43
    the budget call to draft a uh a proposed
  • 00:28:47
    budget that's two
  • 00:28:51
    questions uh just to follow up on the
  • 00:28:53
    budget in the previous interviews you
  • 00:28:55
    said that you cannot give a definite
  • 00:28:57
    answer on what will happen with regards
  • 00:29:00
    to your satellite offices given that the
  • 00:29:02
    budget were uh was not final at that
  • 00:29:05
    time but given that the BAM already uh
  • 00:29:08
    decided not to
  • 00:29:10
    reinstate the your original proposal of
  • 00:29:13
    2 billion what will happen to your
  • 00:29:15
    satellite offices there are around I
  • 00:29:18
    think 10 satellite offices across the
  • 00:29:20
    country yes um well well we we we have
  • 00:29:25
    to we have to see if uh we can continue
  • 00:29:28
    with the projects that they are
  • 00:29:31
    implementing uh we need to see if they
  • 00:29:33
    if the projects are still there and then
  • 00:29:36
    if uh they can still implement the
  • 00:29:38
    projects so that is something that we
  • 00:29:40
    have to discuss with u the exacom of the
  • 00:29:44
    office of the vice
  • 00:29:46
    president possibility of shut down and
  • 00:29:50
    [Music]
  • 00:29:51
    then affected personel just in
  • 00:29:55
    case satellite offices
  • 00:29:58
    central office Office of the vice
  • 00:30:07
    presid buet I am sure that they are
  • 00:30:10
    preparing themselves as well
  • 00:30:29
    uh um W update pull out and
  • 00:30:36
    replacement for of the
  • 00:30:40
    Philippines
  • 00:30:43
    yes Chief of Staff armed forces of the
  • 00:30:49
    Philippines
  • 00:30:52
    requests is
  • 00:31:07
    [Music]
  • 00:31:11
    I already said that I will seek security
  • 00:31:14
    Arrangements outside of the a forces of
  • 00:31:17
    the Philippines already
  • 00:31:38
    yes uh we are exploring uh Private
  • 00:31:41
    Security Services
  • 00:31:47
    yes aiv no because uh there are
  • 00:31:51
    professional uh security services so
  • 00:31:54
    that's not uh considered as a private uh
  • 00:31:56
    Army and and um I do not know if uh
  • 00:32:00
    these individuals are allowed to bring
  • 00:32:03
    guns
  • 00:32:04
    so that makes them less of a an
  • 00:32:08
    [Music]
  • 00:32:11
    army professional uh Security Services
  • 00:32:15
    but uh that is one option uh that we are
  • 00:32:18
    preparing for in case there is a pull
  • 00:32:22
    out of the
  • 00:32:23
    entire um entire security details from
  • 00:32:28
    the Arm Forces of the
  • 00:32:31
    Philippines initially I asked my husband
  • 00:32:35
    and then he said that uh he'll make ano
  • 00:32:39
    Arrangements how
  • 00:32:41
    estim Wala P Kam Wala ping we do not
  • 00:32:45
    have we have not requested for proposals
  • 00:32:48
    yet from uh s providers service
  • 00:32:52
    providers we have not uh requested a
  • 00:32:54
    proposal yet so but
  • 00:32:59
    agci I think only Filipino uh
  • 00:33:02
    organizations or agencies are allowed uh
  • 00:33:06
    that kind of service in within the
  • 00:33:08
    Philippines I think Mama I do not know I
  • 00:33:10
    do not know but uh I I know that they
  • 00:33:13
    are Filipinos
  • 00:33:16
    yes no I
  • 00:33:18
    don't
  • 00:33:20
    no but um uh no I do not uh feel secure
  • 00:33:27
    as I said that um there's always
  • 00:33:31
    been bias because when you see say for
  • 00:33:38

  • 00:33:55
    example they've not
  • 00:33:59
    ever
  • 00:34:01
    investigated threats against me which
  • 00:34:04
    are all documented but we do not give
  • 00:34:07
    them the information because we don't
  • 00:34:08
    trust them at
  • 00:34:20
    all it's just an imaginary threat like
  • 00:34:23
    for
  • 00:34:24
    example imaginary
  • 00:34:31
    to the first family and speaker what
  • 00:34:33
    your take on
  • 00:34:44
    this
  • 00:34:46
    IM
  • 00:34:49
    Vice confence what's your take on this
  • 00:34:52
    yes I know we have documents sir we have
  • 00:34:54
    screen caps we have photos we have
  • 00:34:57
    police BLS we have everything on file
  • 00:35:01
    but uh I never talked about it before
  • 00:35:05
    because I felt now it was part of my job
  • 00:35:10
    as vice president you get
  • 00:35:13
    that so and it does not affect my work
  • 00:35:17
    so all the more that uh it was uh
  • 00:35:21
    inconsequential for me at the
  • 00:35:23
    time but right now um seeing that
  • 00:35:28
    they
  • 00:35:31
    are uh picking out words that I said and
  • 00:35:35
    making a case out of it and saying that
  • 00:35:38
    these are
  • 00:35:39
    threats so I think they should start
  • 00:35:43
    with where is this coming from that is
  • 00:35:46
    the question that they should ask
  • 00:35:48
    themselves but uh I don't think they'll
  • 00:35:50
    ever ask that of themselves so we'll
  • 00:35:54
    just move on to the cases and the
  • 00:35:56
    impeachment in and whatever will come uh
  • 00:36:00
    in the new
  • 00:36:02
    year you reget
  • 00:36:05
    orat to the president and the first lady
  • 00:36:09
    and speaker no mam
  • 00:36:16
    nil I will not die in
  • 00:36:19
    vain mention the 2028 presidential
  • 00:36:22
    elections that all of the attacks of the
  • 00:36:24
    marus government here now is all
  • 00:36:26
    connected to
  • 00:36:28
    the last time a sitting vice president a
  • 00:36:31
    very popular sitting vice president was
  • 00:36:33
    investigated for corruption allegations
  • 00:36:35
    and refused to respond in the public
  • 00:36:39
    forum ele and I'm preferring to former
  • 00:36:42
    vice president ma'am are you concerned
  • 00:36:45
    that your enemies would be able to turn
  • 00:36:48
    public opinion against you and it will
  • 00:36:50
    hurt any potential plans of you're
  • 00:36:52
    running for president you're leading uh
  • 00:36:54
    surveys as oh I've not seen the recent
  • 00:36:57
    surveys but uh yes that is what they are
  • 00:37:00
    trying to do turn public opinion and
  • 00:37:02
    that is the
  • 00:37:24
    strategy agent
  • 00:37:27
    W speaker
  • 00:37:30
    speak yes
  • 00:37:35

  • 00:38:26
    what they are trying to do turn public
  • 00:38:28
    opinion that is a common strategy uh in
  • 00:38:32
    politics um La
  • 00:38:35
    propaganda and uh
  • 00:38:38
    everything um will it hurt my chances
  • 00:38:41
    I'm not yet a candidate so right now I

    am just the vice president of the
  • 00:38:46
    Republic of the Philippines and working
  • 00:38:49
    for the country so I am not yet a
  • 00:38:51
    candidate so I do not know if this will
  • 00:38:54
    affect me um maybe my decision my
  • 00:38:57
    decision in 2026 will consider what is
  • 00:39:01
    happening right now but uh I cannot
  • 00:39:03
    really say uh with finality what will be
  • 00:39:07
    the considerations for me to decide to
  • 00:39:09
    run for president uh as I said uh just
  • 00:39:12
    give me the last quarter of 2026 I think
  • 00:39:15
    that is the best time for any any
  • 00:39:17
    presidential candidate to decide uh to
  • 00:39:20
    run m
  • 00:39:28
    for

    sir sir
  • 00:43:30
    is
  • 00:43:32
    Sir um security is fundamentally a trust
  • 00:43:37
    and confidence uh position so it's
  • 00:43:39
    difficult to entrust your life to
  • 00:43:42
    somebody you really do not know and
  • 00:43:44
    that's just I know just uh put there by
  • 00:43:48
    somebody who you do not trust as well so
  • 00:43:52
    that's a it's a very difficult position
  • 00:43:55
    and
  • 00:43:59
    well it's a very difficult uh position
  • 00:44:02
    position and I actually pointed it out

    there is a line of succession you're
  • 00:44:13
    supposed to protect your number
  • 00:44:15
    two your one and two because that is
  • 00:44:19
    your reserve because one day if you do
  • 00:44:22
    not protect your two one day you you
  • 00:44:25
    have no no one if you don't have a two
  • 00:44:28
    and you don't have a one you don't have
  • 00:44:35
    anyone that is in the Constitution and
