00:00The security of President Bongbong Marcos has been doubled

00:04following the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:07The President left for the United Arab Emirates for a working visit.

00:12Duterte's so-called political persecution

00:15is what the government is doing to him.

00:17Ivan Mayrena has a report.

00:19That kind of criminalization should not be allowed to pass.

00:28That is my promise.

00:31That is the answer of President Bongbong Marcos

00:33during the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte

00:36in her life this weekend.

00:38I was talking to someone.

00:40I told him, if you kill me,

00:43kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales.

00:48The President said, if that's how easy it is for the President to kill,

00:52how about ordinary citizens?

00:55If only VP Sara had answered the questions

00:58about the use of confidential funds,

01:00this kind of drama would not have happened to her.

01:03The truth should not be talked about.

01:06Instead of giving a straightforward answer,

01:08they are trying to make it sound like a joke.

01:11The joke that the President is talking about

01:13probably has something to do with the suspicious name

01:16Mary Grace Piatos,

01:17who signed the acknowledgment receipt for the OVP fund.

01:21According to VP Sara's statement,

01:24she was called by the DOJ as a self-confessed mastermind

01:27of the assassination plot against the President.

01:30They will give her a chance to explain herself.

01:34She is ready to answer.

01:36I would gladly answer,

01:39but they should also answer my questions to them.

01:44We will talk about it once the subpoena is there.

01:47She first said that she will kill the President

01:50if someone kills her, but for the DOJ.

01:53If such an event happens, who will benefit?

01:56She is the beneficiary of the death of the President.

01:59So her words have to be taken in the proper context.

02:04Many can file criminal cases against the Vice President.

02:09She can also discipline the Ombudsman

02:12and be disbarred as a lawyer.

02:15This is clear political harassment.

02:18This is clear political persecution.

02:20If someone threatens you, it doesn't matter.

02:22If someone threatens them, national security.

02:25Where are you?

02:26In the first statement, VP Sara said that

02:28her statements about the President were maliciously taken out of context,

02:32which is considered a national security concern of the National Security Council.

02:37The NSC said that the threat to the President is a national security concern.

02:48But apparently, they really do not consider the threat to the Vice President as anything of a concern.

02:56Ivan Merida reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:01House Speaker Martin Romualdez denied the accusation of Vice President Sara Duterte

03:06that he has a plan to kill the Vice President.

03:09In Duterte's response to the hearing in the House of Representatives,

03:12he questioned the extension of the contempt order to his Chief of Staff.

03:16Reporting to Jonathan Anda.

03:21How can you ask a resource person without giving him copies?

03:25Without giving him copies.

03:27Mr. Chair, point of order.

03:28In the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,

03:32Vice President Sara Duterte and ACT Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro responded.

03:37Why is it that the Vice President is batting?

03:41Yes, ma'am.

03:42The point of order is proper.

03:43We have nothing to do with this, ma'am.

03:45There should be no point of order.

03:47Well, point of order.

03:48The hearing was suspended, but VP Sara approached the congressmen leading the committee.

03:55The VP questioned the dismissal of Antipolo Representative Romeo Acop

03:59to Deped Special Disbursement Officer Edward Fajarda

04:03who did not give him a copy of the document being questioned.

04:06VP Sara also violated the contempt order for five days

04:11against his Chief of Staff, Atty. Zolaica Lopez.

04:14It was not enough in the hearing of Lopez

04:16because according to the certificate of confinement and excuse letter he was given,

04:20he has an acute stress disorder.

04:23His doctors are not saying here that he is not physically incapable of attending today's hearing.

04:34We saw in the history of his evasive attitude, behavior,

04:42and what he created that he is lying.

04:47If VP Sara knows this, why would she blame Lopez for this?

04:51Of the four DepEd officials,

04:53the President is the one receiving resignations from Assistant Secretaries and Undersecretaries

04:58as this is also the appointing authority.

05:00I asked you earlier, who is the appointing authority?

05:04Yusef of ASEC.

05:05What is your answer?

05:06Secretary.

05:07You don't know.

05:08I haven't answered yet.

05:10I saw you answering.

05:12Camera.

05:14I saw you answering.

05:15You said Secretary.

05:16You don't know everything.

05:19The one appointing authority is the President.

05:23You need to reconsider that extension of your detention.

05:26It was illegal in the first place.

05:28You asked the President why he accepted the resignation.

05:33Do not ask due process.

05:36I will go to court.

05:39But every day, you are depriving a person of her liberty while I await.

05:47The special disbursing officer of the Office of the Vice President, Gina Acosta, is also in front of the camera.

05:52Acosta is the one assigned to sign the disbursement voucher

05:55and get the check for the P125 million pesos of December 2022.

06:00But while being asked in front of the camera,

06:02she became weak and was taken to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.

06:06According to VP Sara, Acosta was charged P150 over P100.

06:10The DepEd Special Disbursement Officer, Edward Fajarda, was also taken by the camera.

06:15He withdrew P37.5 million pesos three times in February 2023.

06:21In total, that amounted to P112 million pesos of confidential funds.

06:26Fajarda said that the security officer, Colonel Dennis Nolasco,

06:30is the one giving money to those who are receiving confidential funds.

06:33The instruction came from...

06:35VP Sara.

06:36This is the reason why we don't want to discuss confidential funds.

06:40That's why there is a law that prohibits the discussion of confidential funds.

06:46We will wait for Colonel Nolasco.

06:48VP Sara said that she doesn't know who Nolasco gave the money to.

06:52Based on the liquidation report of DepEd,

06:54DepEd gave confidential funds to seven places including Makati, Davao, Negros Oriental, and Negros Occidental.

07:01Nolasco did not deny it.

07:03House Speaker Martin Romualdez challenged VP Sara to answer the questions related to confidential funds.

07:09The issues surrounding confidential and intelligence funds,

07:13the questionable disbursements,

07:15and the lack of transparency demand answers.

07:19If you are not hiding anything, why don't you answer the questions?

07:24He denied the accusation of VP Sara that he has a plan to kill her.

07:28VP Sara should also be held accountable for confessing that she hired a VC to kill Romualdez,

07:34President Marcos, and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos.

07:37If someone is going to kill VP Sara.

07:40This is no longer a joke.

07:41This is no longer a normal conversation.

07:44This is a direct threat to our democracy.

07:48Jonathan Andal reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:52Former President Rodrigo Duterte spoke about the properties of his son,

07:56Vice President Sara Duterte, against President Marcos.

08:00Former President Duterte said that VP Sara is just getting on his nerves.

08:04He even challenged his son to file a lawsuit against him.

08:11Inday can't do that.

08:13Inday can do that.

08:15It's insignificant.

08:17If they file a lawsuit against Inday, they will file a lawsuit.

08:22He won't be jailed.

08:27A passenger bus in Iloilo was set on fire.

08:31According to the firefighters, the fire started under the bus.

08:35The sunheat is causing electrical wiring problems.

08:38No one was hurt because the driver, conductor, and 20 passengers were able to get out of the bus.

08:51It's huge.

08:54It's huge.

08:56More than 40 families lost their homes in Maypaho, Caloocan.

09:00Because of the boundary, some houses in Balut, Tondo, Manila were burned.

09:04Responding to the fire was difficult because the entrance is narrow.

09:08Because of the big fire on Isla Puting Bato yesterday, more than 2,000 families lost their homes.

09:16Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy took part in a new medical examination.

09:21According to the PNP, the court approved the motion of Campo Ni Q. Buloy for this.

09:26Q. Buloy will also attend the Philippine Heart Center this Saturday.

09:29He is expected to return to the PNP Custodial Center on Wednesday.

09:33Darlene Cai reports for GMA Integrated News.

09:39It's already 30 days since Christmas.

09:41In addition to what you can buy, there are more than 200 Christmas trees in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

09:48It took more than two months to make a Christmas tree with the design of Noah's Ark.

09:54This is taller than the one they made last year, which is 197 feet.

10:02In Paris, the length of Champs-Élysées Avenue is amazing.

10:07The LED lights and wine glass are placed on 400 trees.

10:19Close your eyes.

10:21That is from her.

10:25Birthday girl Zia Dantes is emotional about the special package from her idol, Olivia Rodrigo.

10:36Zia's parents, Dantes and Marian Rivera, are looking forward to the celebration of their 10 years of marriage next month.

10:44My husband planned it.

10:46I don't want to celebrate this because we've been blessed by God for 10 years.

10:53Very simple with family.
