00:05It is held by Congressman Zaldico and Congressman Martin Romualdez.
00:11That is the truth.

00:17ahead of the scheduled deliberations of her office's budget in the House of Representatives.
00:21But House Committee Appropriations Chairman Zaldico denies this.

00:40The House Appropriations Committee defers for a second time the deliberations on her office's budget.
