00:00The National Bureau of Investigation is still prepared to accept Vice President Sara Duterte's counter-affidavit even if she does not respond to the investigation.
00:13This is what Louisa Erispe reported.
00:17The Department of Justice denies Vice President Sara Duterte's refusal to respond to the second complaint filed by the National Bureau of Investigation.
00:26This is in line with Duterte's statement that she talked to assassins for President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:36DOJ said that if it was Vice President Sara's chance, she would explain her plan.
00:42But because she did not respond, even if there are threats against her life, the NBI will not look into it.
00:49It's sad that she doesn't want to use that chance to give the right context.
00:55Whatever the truth is, she can share it with the NBI so we can have a basis for evaluation if the case will continue or not.
01:05To the witnesses of Vice President Sara, she did not respond to any threats she received.
01:11DOJ said it probably means that she admitted that her threats were true.
01:18It's like she's denying her past threats if she's not blaming those words she said.
01:29I hope that if she went to the NBI, she gave the right context.
01:33DOJ said that they are ready to accept if Vice President Sara will continue to swear.
01:39But even if she doesn't, the NBI will continue its investigation.
01:43In fact, they have solid evidence, like the video of the live Zoom press conference.
01:50There are also statements that were made for the witnesses.
01:54Whether she speaks or not, the Department of Justice must do its duty to protect the people.
02:03Meanwhile, DOJ said that Vice President Sara Duterte's statement was very dangerous.
02:09She believes that the investigation against her will not be fair.
02:13Vice President Sara should understand that she should follow the process of the law because this is the right way to use justice.
