00:00Ma'am, may we just get the reaction of the palace with regards to the call of Vice President Sarah Duterte for former Senate Witness Michael Murillo to formally file charges, especially after his serious allegations where he said that he was just influenced to testify against the Vice President, against the former President Rodrigo Duterte and Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
00:28And part of these allegations is where he mentioned that there are fake witnesses to testify against the former President at the International Criminal Court. Do you think this has to be investigated?
00:45If there will be a complaint filed by Michael Murillo, it is better for him to file charges if there are issues regarding alleged fake witnesses.
00:59Because through a case, through a trial, and through a cross-examination, we will know the truth.
01:08And tulad na sinabi natin, ang trial, importante para malaman ng katotohanan kung may anomalya ba.
01:17Hindi dapat na didismiss isang kaso lamang through technicalities.
01:21So mas maganda makapag-file ng case si Michael Murillo para malaman kung siya ba'y nagsasabi ng totoo o hindi.
01:27Considering the gravity of his allegations, do you think this warrants an investigation, ma'am?
01:34If he will file a case.
01:36If this Michael Murillo will not file any case, so there's no issue.
01:42And one last, ma'am.
01:43You think this will have any implication at the ongoing case at the ICC?
01:50We don't have any hand on the case pending before the ICC.
