00:59I told her, if you kill me,

01:02kill BBM, Lisa Araneta, and Martin Romales.

01:07No joke.

01:10No joke.

01:12In the complaint, based on the statement of the Vice President,

01:16she admitted that she was ordered by someone to kill the President,

01:20First Lady, and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

01:24And secondly,

01:25that the person who was ordered to do her orders

01:29or have a contract to kill, agreed to do so.

01:32I did not make an assassination threat to the President.

01:37They're the only ones who say that.

01:39They're the only ones who say there's an assassination.

01:41They're the only ones who say there's an assassin, a gunman.

01:45Next, Kudsi Dibin.

01:46I did not say that.

02:04her expenses were questionable

02:07of the 612.5 million pesos

02:10of confidential funds of the two offices.

02:14You are depriving a person of her liberty.

02:19In the hearings on camera,

02:21the 125 million pesos of confidential funds

02:25of the Office of the Vice President were discussed in 2022,

02:42P375 million pesos

02:45from the total of P500 million of confidential funds of the OVP.

02:52It is also included in the question of the use of P112.5 million of confidential funds

02:57of the Department of Education or DepEd

02:59when she was the one behind it.

03:02This is the reason why we don't want to discuss confidential funds.

03:07And that's why there's a law

03:10that prohibits the discussion of confidential funds.

03:13In the recorded hearing of the Quadcom on camera,

03:16the name Mary Grace Piatos became loud,

03:19one of the signatories of the so-called Documentary Evidence of Payment or DepEd.

03:24Mayroong Mary Grace Piatos.

03:28The person with the name appeared in the hearing as questionable.

03:32I cannot explain it, ma'am, because I am not the one signing it.

05:16In the years that I served as Vice Mayor and Mayor of Davao City,

05:19sometimes my name was not included in this issue.
