00:00He's lying. He's a president. He knows that you cannot pass a GAA without a blank. He's lying.

00:12And he's lying because he knows perfectly well that that doesn't ever happen.

00:18In the history of the entire Philippines, it is not allowed to have an item, a GAA, that does not state what the project is and what the cost is.

00:38So, it's a lie.

00:42I was watching the news earlier today and people were saying, it's 4,000 pages. How are we going to process that?

00:51It's like this, so that we can look at it one by one.

00:54Not only that, there is a copy that's available on the website of DBM.

00:59Look at it. Don't process it one by one.

01:02Look for what they're saying as a blank check.

01:06See if there's even one to prove that what I'm saying is correct because it's a lie.

01:14That's my reaction.
