House Deputy Speaker Rep. Jay-jay Suarez holds press conference
00:33.7
Kaya, kitang-kita naman po natin na parang wala pong pinatunguhan yung ating investigasyon,
00:40.9
which is in aid of legislation.
00:49.8
Hindi ko po makita yung relevance nung investigasyon.
00:55.8
Dadagdag ko lang, no?
00:57.0
I think si Sen. Pato is a friend of mine.
01:00.2
In fact, many of us is actually a friend of Sen. Pato.
01:03.6
And being a policeman, he is a former PNP chief.
01:10.3
Alam po niya yung rules of evidence, no?
01:13.8
Kung if your goal really is to achieve a successful prosecution,
01:19.2
you have to have a legal basis and a sound evidence to prove your case.
01:25.5
In this, nakikita po natin sa ano,
01:28.5
nangingyayari ngayon sa Senado, sa kalangil-investigation,
01:32.6
ang mismong institution ng agency na sinasabi na tuunang galing, no?
01:39.4
Allegedly, ang PIDEA mismo nagsasabi walang verified na accounts, walang verified documents.
01:47.1
Yung mismong guest nila, yung mismong nagsasabi na totoo yung mga documents nakita doon
01:54.8
ay hindi niya ma-pinpoint kung saan niya nakita,
01:57.9
sino'ng nagbigay, hindi niya ma-exacto masabi kung anong month ba yun,
02:05.4
anong year ba yung nakita, sino yung kausap niya.
02:08.3
So everything is hearsay.
02:10.3
Kung ikaw ay isang, you know, based on his background as a policeman,
02:17.5
alam po na naman natin may mga abogado tayo dito,
02:20.1
you present your case, your evidence to the fiscal, to the prosecutor.
02:24.6
If there's no evidence, solid evidence, automatic,
02:27.9
nasa ano, that would go to waste.
02:30.5
Kumbaga, automatic dismiss na po yan.
02:33.2
So ang ibig ko lang pong sabihin is, kung itong klaseng committee hearing,
02:39.1
which is supposedly in aid of legislation,
02:41.9
your main objective there is to number one, review existing laws,
02:48.9
to review existing laws and then amend them and then improve on the laws
02:54.9
that would make it fitting to the current,
02:57.9
system or demand nung time, sa ngayon, circumstance, present circumstance.
03:02.8
We don't see that as the substantive reason for this here ongoing investigation.
03:10.2
Dahil unang-una, wala kang basis, ano ba talaga ang gusto natin dito?
03:14.7
Patunayan, tama nga po yung sinabi ni DSJJ.
03:19.1
Ano ba talagang gusto natin?
03:21.0
What is the main objective and motive?
03:23.8
Kasi magkadugtong po yan eh.
03:26.3
Ano po yung motibo?
03:27.9
At ano po yung objective mo?
03:31.0
If the objective really is to review existing laws,
03:35.8
then tell us what laws would you like to amend?
03:40.2
E mismo ang agency, they don't support that.
03:42.3
They don't have anything to say.
03:43.6
Kasi, you say yan.
03:45.0
So we go back to the motive.
03:47.5
Ano pa talaga ang motibo mo dito?
03:49.8
Because ultimately, now that the committee is being handled,
03:56.0
that as it develops,
03:58.6
andun ka nga yung mga artista, nagsabi ng mga personnel,
04:01.5
as it develops, the Senate is losing its integrity.
04:06.9
And nadadrag po yung reputasyon ng ating Senado.
04:10.9
To the point that the public now is questioning the Senate,
04:14.4
what really is your motive?
04:17.2
Kasi sa akin nakikita ko, wala hong matutunguhan itong investigation na ito
04:21.9
other than smear campaign.
04:26.0
And to point out and to target individuals that were allegedly mentioned in the document
04:32.5
and they cannot even provide the document and they cannot even verify
04:35.4
whether that document is really authentic or not.
04:38.9
So the objective really is in question.
04:43.2
Because the motive, to me personally,
04:47.1
the motive is not to enlighten the public,
04:50.9
not to revisit any existing laws and improve them,
04:54.6
but a smear campaign.
04:56.0
Which is completely a farce kung nakikita po natin as it develops.
05:02.0
It is a politically motivated target targeting this administration's downfall.
05:07.5
At hindi po mangyayari yan.
05:10.1
Sabihin ko na po sa inyo,
05:12.3
the public is now asking,
05:16.0
and the committee hearing is in question,
05:18.4
and I hope the Senate will really realize
05:26.0
na kami po sa House of Representatives,
05:28.4
they are our friends and they are our partner
05:30.4
because dalawa po ang chamber ng Congress.
05:33.5
Please protect the reputation of the Senate.
05:36.6
Protect it kasi people are now starting to question
05:39.3
the reputation of the institution.
05:43.6
Just to add on the statements made by my colleagues,
05:48.2
well, I agree with the question, no?
05:51.2
What we have is a chairman
05:52.7
who is a former Philippine National Police Chief,
05:56.0
having served the PNP for several years,
06:00.1
and having said that,
06:02.1
we expect him to be well-versed and eligible,
06:05.8
especially in the rules and evidence,
06:07.5
and investigation.
06:09.5
So, personally, I am very disappointed
06:12.1
the way Senator Bato de la Rosa conducts the hearing.
06:17.3
What we have is a witness
06:19.2
who is a pathological liar,
06:22.3
who perjured himself,
06:23.5
who is facing a case of false distinction,
06:26.0
who is also facing a testimony in Pampanga,
06:27.7
who is also facing a case in Pasig
06:29.6
for falsification, if I'm not mistaken,
06:33.8
it's like physical injuries.
06:35.7
So, what is at stake here is the credibility,
06:39.2
the quality of the legislative inquiry
06:41.4
that the Senate is being conducting.
06:44.3
So, siguro ito na po ang eye-opener, ano,
06:48.1
kay Senator Bato,
06:49.8
na sana pakinggan niya din ang kanyang mga kasamahan.
06:53.4
Wala hong credibility na yung testigo.
06:56.0
Na nagsasalita po sa komite.
06:58.3
In other words, sa madaling sabi,
07:00.8
itigil niya na po ang investigasyon
07:02.6
sapagkat wala naman po itong patutunguhan
07:04.7
at wala naman po na napapala
07:06.9
ang taong bayan dahil dito.
07:12.5
To answer the question, po, no,
07:16.3
I have to express surprise, siguro,
07:18.2
and alarm at the developments of the Senate.
07:21.4
Alam po natin, as a general rule,
07:23.1
we would prefer not to comment
07:24.4
on the proceedings of the Senate,
07:26.0
as a courtesy and respect.
07:27.9
But with the way things are going,
07:29.7
I think it bears some,
07:31.9
it bears some stressing, po, no?
07:34.4
Kasi mismo yung ibang mga senador, po,
07:36.6
nagko-comment na rin.
07:38.0
I think, if we could recall,
07:39.7
during that last hearing,
07:41.1
three veteran senators took the time
07:43.5
to actually, perhaps in their own way,
07:45.6
caution the good chairman
07:46.6
by saying that perhaps they should reconsider
07:50.0
his position on how the inquiry is going.
07:52.0
I recall the way that Senator Jingoy
07:56.0
already what was mentioned here,
07:57.3
the credibility of the witness.
07:58.8
We had Senator Po and Senator Escudero
08:01.6
cautioning the chairman on how to appreciate
08:05.0
the witness and the evidence presented before them
08:07.4
in an inquiry and even went into the rules
08:09.9
of what an inquiry is for.
08:11.2
In aid of legislation means it's supposed to craft
08:14.2
a better law to better enable the Senate
08:17.9
in crafting these laws, po, no?
08:20.2
So that's the whole purpose.
08:21.5
So it's very surprising now
08:23.4
that this Senate proceeding has been derailed.
08:25.9
Why do we say this, po, no?
08:28.1
Kasi nahita po natin sa Senado,
08:29.8
supposedly inquiry in aid of legislation.
08:33.1
So ano po yung inquiry dito?
08:36.2
Dalawang tanong lang po yun,
08:37.3
as succinctly pointed out by Senator Escudero,
08:40.1
and if we may expand,
08:42.2
if there is a leak, number one,
08:45.0
what is that leak?
08:46.1
And two, sino ang nag-leak nito?
08:48.3
I think these are the primary questions
08:50.1
that are to be asked and to be addressed
08:51.7
in order to properly strengthen if, let's say,
08:54.2
kung may pagkukulang,
08:55.9
ang mechanisms sa PEDEA
08:57.5
or if there was an external leak
08:59.7
by transmitting with the NBI or the PNP.
09:02.7
I was expecting, po, ganun yung mga tanong.
09:05.2
Pero it seems to be,
09:06.5
it was only an entry point,
09:08.3
naging entry lang ito ng so-called witness,
09:12.8
to go on a crusade against other matters,
09:16.0
which I think would be outside of PEDEA leak.
09:18.2
Sabi nga po, hiresay na po siya.
09:20.4
The witness can only testify
09:22.0
as to that which he has personal knowledge.
09:25.9
Mayroon po ang panalan na babanggit.
09:28.1
Nag-expand na po siya.
09:29.6
Hindi nga po nasagot yung leak.
09:31.4
And now I have to express my dismay
09:33.0
to answer the original question, po, no?
09:35.1
Given the background of the good senator,
09:37.5
bakit po ganito yung kanilang process?
09:40.3
Because supposedly, as Chief PNP,
09:42.2
he would be in a better position
09:44.7
amongst other people
09:45.9
to understand and appreciate
09:47.8
evidence presented before him.
09:50.3
Number one, what is leak?
09:52.4
Kung tingnan po natin,
09:54.1
for legal parlance,
09:55.9
karayal po yung nangyari.
09:57.2
We're talking about the authentication
10:02.3
in light of the testimony
10:03.9
of the resource person from PEDEA,
10:06.7
a sitting official,
10:08.4
a sitting employee of PEDEA,
10:10.5
currently employed,
10:11.6
who was already saying
10:12.6
that they do not have document,
10:14.4
mas pinaniwalaan pa po
10:20.7
there were many questions
10:21.6
about the credibility.
10:23.1
Mas pinili pa niya po yun.
10:24.9
What happened po to the,
10:25.9
the regularity of duty?
10:27.7
There were even conspiracy theories
10:29.4
as to nawala po ito
10:30.7
from PEDEA o binunot.
10:33.8
not talking anymore,
10:35.0
in addition to that,
10:36.0
sa authenticity po, no?
10:38.3
The mere document itself,
10:40.1
hindi pa po nasagot fully
10:41.5
kung talagang authentic yung document
10:43.7
that was leaked online.
10:45.2
Ang basehan po nito
10:46.0
ay puncture holes
10:47.2
at Xerox markings.
10:50.7
if I have to fabricate that,
10:52.6
that's very easy.
10:53.6
Gawa lang ako ng document,
10:55.3
tapos i-puncher hole,
10:56.6
Will that be a basis
10:57.5
for it being authentic?
11:00.0
Yun po yung tanong ko.
11:02.8
while watching the hearings,
11:03.9
nakakadismaya po.
11:05.9
yung authenticity ng document
11:09.3
that's the point of having
11:10.1
resource persons po, no?
11:12.2
ang mag-authenticate ng document.
11:14.3
Pero ang nangyari po dito,
11:15.5
si Chairman Bato yung nagsabi,
11:19.8
he was swearing it
11:21.1
on his experience
11:22.1
na authentic po ito.
11:25.9
to have this kind of inquiry
11:27.8
wherein it is the chairman
11:29.5
who is bearing testimony,
11:32.4
It is the chairman
11:33.0
who is authenticating documents.
11:37.3
especially in light of what
11:38.5
the veteran senators
11:39.8
were cautioning him about,
11:42.6
very alarming nga po
11:43.5
yung nangyari doon.
11:44.3
And so we're very much,
11:45.8
we are monitoring
11:47.6
the proceedings in the Senate
11:48.8
with abundant caution po.
11:52.7
Thank you very much.
11:55.9
Thank you, Elson.
11:57.5
May we hear the next question
11:59.0
from Delon Porcalio,
12:04.7
Related, sir, sa PDA ulit.
12:08.3
hearing from you kanina,
12:12.6
kung ano yung claim ni
12:13.5
Senator Trillanes na
12:15.9
talagang may ouster plan?
12:22.1
dahil ang tina-target ka mo,
12:25.9
Go ahead, go ahead.
12:27.9
Senator Trillanes'
12:30.2
of an ouster plan?
12:33.2
Well, I think what is happening
12:34.8
right now with the,
12:36.6
after the unilateral agreement
12:38.8
entered into by our country,
12:43.6
President Marcos,
12:45.5
with the U.S. President Biden,
12:47.8
and the President of Japan,
12:51.5
I think there's a
12:52.9
concerted effort, really,
12:55.9
kasi kung if you look at it,
12:57.5
the development after the
12:58.9
trilateral agreement,
13:01.7
there's no way for you
13:04.7
but to think that maybe there is
13:08.2
beyond what we are seeing,
13:11.3
what's happening in the committee
13:13.5
hearing in the Senate,
13:15.6
and simultaneously,
13:16.9
the peace rallies that they also
13:21.6
I think each month,
13:23.2
yung ma-isog rally.
13:24.2
So you connect the dots, no?
13:25.9
You don't need Senator Trillanes
13:27.5
telling us all this.
13:29.2
You just have to connect the dots.
13:31.4
The pronouncement of those
13:32.8
personalities closely associated
13:37.0
I mean, everything has,
13:39.2
kung baga kung jigsaw puzzle,
13:41.0
everything is coming into place.
13:43.1
And the picture now is very clear.
13:45.1
It becomes clearer and clearer
13:46.5
each day that they attack
13:47.6
the administration.
13:48.5
So probably, yes.
13:50.0
Personally, if you take my opinion,
13:52.2
yes, there is a great,
13:53.9
there's a big effort,
13:56.9
this administration.
14:02.9
the Filipino people,
14:07.4
has trusted this president.
14:12.7
the first president
14:14.3
more than 31 million votes.
14:17.7
And the trust rating
14:19.6
is relatively high.
14:25.9
And the president has
14:30.2
programs which benefited
14:33.0
not only Metro Manila,
14:35.9
but even all over the country.
14:44.4
all the way down to the south
14:46.6
You know, the farthest province
14:48.7
in the Philippines
14:50.6
But he will go there.
14:52.2
He visited areas in Mindanao.
14:57.6
government services
14:59.1
closer to the people.
15:01.6
Because that has been
15:05.6
his campaign slogan
15:07.9
running as president.
15:09.7
he keeps that promise intact.
15:18.0
government services
15:18.7
closer to the people.
15:22.0
the people trust him.
15:24.6
no matter what they do,
15:27.0
they will be successful
15:28.5
in trying to destabilize
15:31.2
this administration.
15:41.7
I can even go as far as
15:44.5
but some cyber attacks
15:45.5
are probably connected also
15:47.2
what Kong Zia is saying.
15:50.4
Mapabasa mo naman
15:52.8
kahit regular ka na tao.
15:55.1
the investigation,
15:56.4
the press conference
15:58.3
of Senator Trillanes,
16:01.6
kung sino yung mga pangalan
16:05.6
at mga ilalabas pa niya,
16:07.8
kailangan din natin
16:09.3
kasi hindi naman natin alam
16:11.0
saan pa nang gagaling
16:15.4
investigations niya.
16:20.3
naman sa gobyerno
16:21.5
saka konting respeto
16:33.6
He's working really hard.
16:41.0
isa lang nakikita
16:42.5
They're hungry for
16:45.3
they're doing this.
16:57.5
First and foremost,
16:58.4
we would prefer not
16:59.3
to engage in speculation.
17:00.9
I remember yesterday,
17:02.6
nabanggit niya po
17:06.0
pambansang marites.
17:09.1
solicited laughs.
17:13.1
when you take into
17:14.5
the actions being done
17:16.2
by close associates
17:17.3
of the said personalities,
17:20.8
is starting to look like
17:22.2
corroborating evidence.
17:24.4
it's still very far away.
17:25.4
But it's starting to look
17:27.9
And I have to agree
17:28.8
with Congressman Zia
17:30.3
na some of the allegations
17:32.8
seem to make sense.
17:35.3
We have to recall
17:36.1
the timing of it all,
17:37.2
the trilateral meeting.
17:39.0
We have to recall
17:40.3
with the prayer rallies.
17:41.8
We have to recall
17:43.1
with this inquiry.
17:44.6
a concerted effort.
17:46.3
So yung speculation,
17:47.8
what started as speculation,
17:50.3
an alarming trend
17:52.5
So we have to be wary.
17:53.9
So we're not ready
18:01.7
proving against it.
18:03.6
it's not evidence
18:07.2
for the administration
18:16.4
in the strongest term.
18:25.2
their government.
18:28.0
nakikita naman natin,
18:30.6
puro kasinulingan
18:32.3
yung nakikita natin
18:33.6
sa hearing na yun.
18:40.8
itigil na yung hearing,
18:42.9
hindi nakakatulong
18:45.1
walang patutunguhan,
18:46.7
at hindi makakatulong
18:47.6
sa ating mamamayan.
18:55.4
Trying to discredit
18:57.3
and to destabilize
19:01.4
of what's happening
19:03.5
what is more important
19:06.3
on the West Philippine Sea.
19:08.8
kinakatakot nila,
19:11.0
is probably coming.
19:14.8
the impending investigation
19:18.9
gentleman's agreement
19:20.1
between the Philippines
19:28.0
ilihis yung issue,
19:32.2
ang kanilang sarili
19:33.4
sa anumang pong pananagutan
19:35.4
na pwede nilang kaharapin
19:38.5
na aking nabanggit.
19:40.8
I would like to appeal
19:42.2
to the Filipino people,
19:44.4
huwag nating suportahan
19:45.7
ang anumang masamang
19:49.1
dahil kapakanan po
19:51.4
ang nakasalalay dito.
19:58.5
you are recognized.
20:08.4
just a follow-up lang dito
20:09.5
sa mga naunang question.
20:12.1
seemingly talagang
20:13.1
may destabilization plot
20:17.4
present government.
20:21.0
sino kayang makikinabang
20:30.2
Sinasabi naman nila,
20:32.8
yung makikinabang.
20:34.7
Nakikita naman natin ngayon
20:39.8
ng isang partido.
20:42.2
Sabi ko nga kahapon,
20:48.9
presidente ngayon
20:51.8
ng dating administration.
20:54.3
hindi naman natin
20:55.2
kailangan ng scientist
20:57.8
kung sino yung makikinabang
20:59.4
sa mga nangyayaring
21:02.3
na gusto nilang mangyari
21:03.8
at sa mga ginagawa nilang
21:11.5
sa ating administration.
21:16.2
Ako sa palagay ko,
21:29.5
ng mamamayang Pilipino,
21:33.1
na maging matagumpay
21:34.3
ang ating Pangulo.
21:37.2
na maging matagumpay
21:42.5
ng bawat Pilipino
21:45.9
ang itong mga bagay-bagay
21:47.3
na ginagawa nila,
21:58.7
ay hindi nakakatulong
22:00.4
sa bansang Pilipinas.
22:02.6
Kaya, ang payo ko,
22:04.2
hindi rin naman kayong tatagumpay.
22:07.6
Let's let the administration work.
22:10.5
Let's allow the administration
22:13.8
If we love our country,
22:15.9
let's work for the Filipino people.
22:20.3
Just to add lang po siguro,
22:22.0
on that question, siguro for
22:23.9
sa mga kababayan natin
22:25.1
who are thinking now,
22:26.3
food for thought po siguro, no?
22:28.7
Perhaps we should look
22:29.9
in the question of this tab plot,
22:32.6
beyond the personalities
22:33.8
and more on what do these personalities stand for.
22:37.6
We have to understand,
22:38.6
we have to remember
22:39.3
that there are interests
22:41.5
that may originate
22:44.7
So when the question is asked,
22:46.1
sino po may hinabang sa this tab plot?
22:48.5
All I can say is,
22:49.5
hindi po yung Pilipino.
22:51.6
Yun lang po siguro.
22:53.9
Ako, kunting bagay,
22:55.4
kunting ano lang po yung dadagdag ko.
22:58.0
Ako, I share these,
23:00.0
I share the comments of
23:04.3
Actually, wala para sa akin.
23:06.6
Personally, I don't care whether
23:08.0
kasi sino makinabang.
23:09.2
Ang question ko is,
23:12.3
at the end of the day,
23:13.5
sino ba ang nasulusing end?
23:16.2
Because ultimately,
23:17.2
once you establish administration,
23:19.2
when you're putting out
23:20.2
all of this misinformation
23:22.4
and disinformation,
23:23.9
trying to fool the public
23:27.5
yung yung wrong-wrong narrative,
23:30.1
nobody will really invest
23:32.7
magkakaroon tayo among ourselves
23:34.1
the mistrust and distrust
23:35.6
with one another.
23:36.8
Which is basically
23:37.7
the thing that we want to avoid
23:41.4
this administration.
23:43.8
should really push,
23:45.2
we should really work on
23:49.7
to whatever narratives
23:51.3
that trying to propagate
23:58.3
magiging losing end
24:01.4
Kung merong issue
24:03.0
of destabilization,
24:11.4
yung peace and order
24:13.7
walang stability sa economy,
24:15.7
it will boil down
24:16.6
to the effect on economy.
24:19.8
ganun po yung aking
24:26.6
tulip-tulip po natin,
24:28.5
na tulit-tulilan lang po natin
24:29.9
ang pagtitiwala sa
24:30.8
administrasyong ito.
24:32.8
itong destabilization plot,
24:34.3
hindi po para sa inyo ito.
24:37.3
para sa common na tao,
24:38.8
para sa Pilipino,
24:41.1
destabilization plot,
24:43.3
ang gumagawa nito,
24:46.5
hindi po kapakanan nyo
24:47.5
ang nasa isip nila.
24:49.7
ng iilad sa kanila.
25:10.7
pa-happily po muna kami
25:12.9
tungkol po doon sa event ngayon,
25:15.3
and the PFP Alliance.
25:17.0
Can you tell us more about this, sir?
25:19.3
yung gano'n na po ba tayo kalaki?
25:21.8
when it comes to Congress,
25:23.0
gano'n po ba kalaki ngayon?
25:23.9
Yung Lakas CMD and the PFP?
25:25.5
I would like to reserve
25:26.9
the answers to that question
25:29.9
conclude the alliance.
25:43.4
We're getting bigger,
25:44.6
we're getting stronger,
25:45.8
not only in Congress,
25:47.0
but also in the local level.
25:49.7
with our alliance
25:50.6
with Partido Federal
25:51.9
so that we can better
25:55.5
midterm elections
25:59.4
hayaan na lang po natin
26:01.2
mas mataas na opisyalis
26:02.9
ng dalawang partido
26:04.4
mag-comment tungkol dito.
26:09.7
panibagong statement
26:13.7
sa Dumaguete City.
26:14.8
Not so new statements,
26:16.3
pero may mga bago siyang tirada
26:19.9
na iba naman daw talaga
26:21.5
kasi yung agenda nito.
26:23.1
If I can comment,
26:23.9
quote some of his
26:27.0
huwag na kayo pumasok sa chacha,
26:28.3
huwag kayo pumayag.
26:30.7
wala nang katapusan.
26:33.0
ito ngayon si Marcos,
26:34.6
in fairness to him,
26:36.5
may plano na sila ng chacha,
26:37.8
change the constitution again.
26:39.5
Huwag mo pakilaman yan,
26:41.8
kasi that is good
26:42.5
for 10 to 15 years
26:46.9
tatay pati itong anak
26:51.8
si Pangulong Marcos
26:53.2
ng ngayong dalawang taon niya,
26:55.1
sinasabi niya na,
26:59.6
pero yung performance mo
27:05.2
eh puro ka English.
27:06.9
Hindi lang mahalang bigas,
27:09.1
ginagawa naman natin
27:10.6
pero ang issue ngayon
27:11.3
is gutomang Filipino,
27:13.0
bigyan nila ng attention.
27:14.7
muna dun sa chacha
27:16.0
na panibago niya,
27:17.0
which is sa atin,
27:17.9
tapos na tayo dito
27:20.8
yung masasabi niyo
27:22.4
Pangulong Duterte?
27:26.7
to the former president,
27:31.2
the former president
27:43.1
yung posisyon namin
27:46.7
and economic amendments.
27:50.9
on economic issues
27:54.9
What more evidence
27:57.0
than two resolutions
28:09.8
on any other aspect
28:11.4
on the Constitution,
28:18.2
of the Filipino people.
28:19.4
Kaya yung pong sinasabi na
28:23.6
political motive.
28:27.9
Nakita nyo na naman doon
28:29.7
resolution na ipinasan namin,
28:32.4
So there's nothing there.
28:34.4
We have addressed this issue
28:41.6
about the performance
28:46.8
the dear president,
28:49.4
Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos,
28:55.9
Given the situation
28:57.3
na nanggaling tayo
29:03.6
ang ating ekonomiya.
29:05.8
nasaan ang Pilipinas?
29:12.9
in Southeast Asia.
29:29.0
ang leader po namin
29:35.1
sa pang-araw-araw
29:39.3
Kakagaling lang po
30:02.0
in the Indo-Pacific
30:21.2
the administration.
30:38.2
matagumpay ang ating
30:44.2
First, on the issue
30:47.2
bear stressing rin na
30:48.2
is there a lot of
30:55.2
more specifically?
30:56.2
So, it's very surprising
30:57.2
to hear that statement
30:58.2
with all due respect
31:08.2
it's mas precise.
31:13.2
pagbubutahan naman po
31:29.2
But with that said po,
31:32.2
the administration,
31:34.2
for the executive,
31:35.2
but from what I have
32:06.2
Because there are
32:08.2
their camp kung ano
32:13.2
respect, it seems
32:16.2
But what is being
32:18.2
rice tarification?
32:19.2
What is being done
32:20.2
about yung paggugutom
32:21.2
ng ating mga kababayan?
32:23.2
exercising oversight
32:24.2
functions here under
32:27.2
Kasi tapos na po kami
32:28.2
sa ledak priorities.
32:44.2
again pagbabalik doon
32:48.2
Just in relation po
32:49.2
to that question.
32:54.2
the grading system,
32:56.2
sa administration,
32:57.2
pakita nyo nga po
33:06.2
Kasi hindi naman po
33:08.2
magbigay ng grado
33:11.2
wala kang numbers,
33:18.2
Makikita naman natin
33:20.2
administration of
33:24.2
but down the line,
33:26.2
kawaninang gobyerno,
33:31.2
nasa local level.
33:33.2
they're trying to
33:37.2
of problem solvers,
33:43.2
very short lang po
33:46.2
it's really difficult
33:49.2
positioning themselves
33:51.2
your rabid critic.
33:52.2
Pag kritiko mo talaga yan,
33:55.2
no matter what you do,
33:59.2
you have reached,
34:02.2
they're not willing
34:03.2
to accept that you are,
34:05.2
you're progressing.
34:12.2
na manggagaling doon
34:22.2
I think the president
34:23.2
is on the right track
34:25.2
by simply continuing
34:27.2
whatever he's doing
34:30.2
presenting the Philippines
34:38.2
of the other countries
34:39.2
in the Indo-Pacific.
34:42.2
improving the quality
34:47.2
pinag-uusapan natin
34:48.2
yung Rice Tarification Law,
34:51.2
closer to the people
34:54.2
pagbibigay ng mga ayuda,
34:55.2
pagbibigay ng mga
34:57.2
na-targeted naman
34:58.2
yung mga beneficiaries.
35:05.2
and should be part of
35:06.2
how we should assess
35:19.2
the trust rating,
35:22.2
a relatively high.
35:36.2
of the president.
35:47.2
who voted for him
35:50.2
his primary mandate
35:51.2
really is to deliver
35:54.2
the good services
35:55.2
that they deserve.
35:56.2
I think that should be
35:58.2
and we've seen that
35:59.2
in the trust rating
36:00.2
of the president.
36:02.2
I'd like to acknowledge
36:03.2
Tina Panganiban Perez
36:14.2
of destabilization,
36:15.2
one of your colleagues
36:20.2
allegedly seditious
36:22.2
I would like to ask
36:29.2
Pantaleon Alvarez.
36:30.2
Has he been notified
36:59.2
his chief of staff.
37:28.2
seditious remarks
37:33.2
Congressman Alvarez
37:35.2
for the withdrawal
37:38.2
as well as the PNP
37:40.2
serious allegations
37:41.2
against Congressman
37:50.2
you are recognized
37:51.2
for your question.
38:02.2
Congressman Suarez
38:11.2
just some tidbits.
38:14.2
consider a continuation
38:20.2
what made the party
38:27.2
thank you for the
38:31.2
between Lacas CMD
38:49.2
the administration
39:17.2
elections next year
39:43.2
the PFP President,
40:22.2
to talk about this
40:26.2
because we haven't
40:27.2
discussed it yet.
40:41.2
have a harmonious
41:19.2
Attorney Glenshong
44:39.2
concerted effort.
45:54.2
I think, yan, si Atty. Harry Roque talking about the Vice President as the real President. So, you see the constant messaging here. All of these things are being, you know, announced in a rally na hinuhold nila. Same rally but different areas and different dates.
46:20.5
So, I think the public has to be, tama nga yung sinabi ni Kong Rocha. I agree with him. If you are to patch up everything that is happening now, they're becoming more and more aggressive. So, in a way, even if they don't achieve what they're trying to, ano, what they're trying to get, halimbawa, kung ano man ang objective nila doon, I think they're, at least the very least, they're trying to confuse the public, eh.
46:46.0
And I think they're trying to
46:49.6
to send a message
46:51.9
kailangan, you know,
46:57.0
kailangan itong administration na to.
46:59.8
It's part of all their PR,
47:01.8
propaganda in their PR strategy
47:03.5
to confuse the public
47:05.2
and to, at least, kung di man nila
47:07.7
ma-achieve yung kanong gusto nila,
47:09.6
at least to plant,
47:13.0
in the minds of the public, yung,
47:15.7
yung, ano ba, ang tawag doon, yung
47:19.6
And, yung, ano, yung doubt
47:21.8
ng tao sa legitimacy
47:23.5
ng government. Everything starts
47:25.6
with disinformation, eh.
47:29.1
you plant the mistrust
47:31.4
and the, ano, yung, ano ito tawag-tawag dito,
47:33.9
yung doubt sa public
47:35.5
perception. Okay lang sa kanila yun.
47:38.1
They don't need to prove anything.
47:40.1
Just, that's, I think, their
47:41.5
main purpose of, of all of
47:43.6
these things is to really
47:44.7
plant the mistrust
47:47.4
and the, ano, the doubt in the people's,
47:49.6
in the people's mind.
47:51.2
Para sa akin, ganun po yung kanilang
47:53.6
strategy. Kaya, they resort to all of
47:55.6
this falsehood and all of these, ano,
47:58.4
inwendos na creating
47:59.8
a parallel universe. Sabi nga ni Kong,
48:04.0
multiverse na tayong gusto nilang
48:11.4
Tingin ko, ano, si Secretary Roque,
48:13.6
ano, he must be dreaming, ano. Parang
48:15.5
binabangongot ata si Secretary Roque.
48:18.5
Hindi siya support,
48:19.6
hindi siya supportahan ng, ano, no, hindi siya supportahan
48:21.7
ng Pilipino yung gusto nilang
48:26.9
Sir, yung follow-up ko po about
48:29.0
the alliance, yung
48:31.4
PFP and Lakas. You mentioned,
48:35.5
you will have a common candidate
48:37.8
for 20, common Senate slate
48:42.1
May allocation na po ba? Halimbawa,
48:43.9
6, kasi 12 po yun eh.
48:47.8
mean complete Senate slate?
48:49.6
Will be composed of
48:51.5
PFP and Lakas, or meron pang
48:53.5
ibang kasama sa 12?
48:57.5
that question right now.
48:59.3
Siguro, antay na lang po natin yung
49:01.5
officials ng both party
49:07.5
announcement. But of
49:09.6
my understanding, we will be
49:11.6
supporting one banner,
49:13.6
same banner for the
49:15.3
2025 elections. Now,
49:17.0
the composition of that slate,
49:19.2
siguro, antay na lang natin.
49:21.1
Dahil, siyempre, mas mauuna muna yung
49:23.6
pag-a-aliansa ng dalawang
49:28.7
Thank you. Gab Lalo from
49:34.4
Sir, kanina na sabi na rin ni Deputy
49:36.7
Speaker J.J. Suarez na
49:38.5
he expected more from the Senate leadership.
49:41.2
Pero, Senate President
49:42.5
Migsubiri already cautioned his
49:45.1
colleagues against turning investigations
49:46.9
in the Senate into a circus.
49:49.2
It's enough, sir.
49:56.0
sabi ko kasi magiging
50:03.2
and I congratulate Senate
50:06.3
for saying na sana
50:08.3
hindi gawing political
50:13.6
Kasi lang, nakakadalawang
50:17.5
hearing na sila eh.
50:22.5
edi sana nung umpisa pa lang.
50:26.4
Kasi, alam naman po natin na
50:28.7
bago naman talakayin to
50:30.5
ng mga committees, pag-aaralan
50:32.4
muna to. Sisiguraduhin
50:34.3
muna nila na may substance,
50:36.8
sufficient inform,
50:38.4
at meron talagang
50:41.2
basihan para tumuloy.
50:44.4
Kasi lang, bakit hinayaan na
50:46.0
magkaroon ng dalawang hearings
50:47.6
na alam naman natin, for the
50:49.2
two hearings, again,
50:51.1
nothing but lies. Fabricated
50:53.3
truth, uncorroborated
50:58.7
evidence whatsoever to talk of.
51:04.9
like what I said kanina,
51:08.1
can we just focus
51:09.1
on nation building, unifying
51:11.5
the country, and not
51:13.3
be divisive when it comes to our
51:15.2
efforts as duly elected
51:17.5
officials of our country?
51:21.6
Kasi, mas marami pong
51:23.5
mga suli rin at problema na
51:25.3
dapat po natin hinaharap.
51:46.6
pinanggalingan niya?
51:47.5
Ba't bigla nila siyang sumulpot?
51:52.0
bakit ang pagbabasihan nila
51:53.4
mga dokumento na galing
51:57.9
I mean, when you want to do
51:59.4
a probe, I mean, first establish
52:01.3
the veracity of your documents.
52:07.2
exercises on investigation
52:09.5
and legislation on
52:14.5
Akala ko, ang pag-uusapan
52:15.9
nila yung drugs na,
52:17.5
na huli sa Batangas,
52:19.6
kasi lang parang hindi na yata
52:21.0
na pag-uusapan yung drugs na nangyari sa Batangas.
52:23.5
And on the topic of drugs, I would like to
52:25.6
congratulate President
52:29.7
Because recently, we have seen
52:31.8
how effective this drug war
52:35.7
in fact, to mention.
52:38.3
Kasi lang, kita nyo naman,
52:39.8
tunit-tunilada yung man nakikita,
52:41.6
tunit-tunilada yung
52:45.4
So, ang alam ko, meron po nga
52:47.5
ongoing investigation ngayon,
52:49.5
yung committee ng
52:53.4
under the leadership of
52:55.7
Congressman Ace Barbers.
52:60.0
what we're talking about there are
53:01.5
real and true facts.
53:05.4
not made-up stories.
53:08.8
Dito ang pinag-uusapan
53:09.7
natin sa Kongreso ay katotohanan
53:12.1
at may ebidensya.
53:17.5
Thank you. Kat Porbes from
53:19.8
Radyo Pilipinas. You're recognized.
53:25.9
Good morning po, Kongs.
53:27.6
Jump off lang po ko dun sa naging tanong ni
53:29.8
Gab. So, aside from
53:32.1
the paalala, tingin nyo po ba dapat po may
53:33.9
maging aksyon? Mas meron pa pong
53:35.9
mabigat na aksyon dapat si SPZBD
53:37.9
regarding po dun sa hearing nga po
53:40.0
na ginaganap. Na dapat po ba
53:41.6
mag-decide na siya na paihinto ito?
53:43.8
At kung sakali po ba, meron po ba
53:45.6
dapat na sanction?
53:50.9
committee. Well, ako ayoko naman
53:53.2
pangunahan siyempre yung
54:01.0
there are a separate
54:03.5
legislative branch. But, you know, as
54:05.4
a member of Congress,
54:08.8
give my opinions and suggestions
54:11.5
when it comes to matters of
54:17.5
talking about matters of
54:18.9
our country, there are
54:20.8
also important investigations
54:24.2
will be conducting, such
54:28.8
to the four-piece fund
54:34.7
two years, amounting to
54:36.7
13 billion pesos.
54:38.7
Nasa pag-ikot ko sa distrito ko,
54:41.1
nalulungkot ako dahil nilalapitan
54:44.4
at sinasabi nila sa amin,
54:47.5
Di daw nila natanggap
54:48.5
for almost one year
54:50.3
yung dapat nilang natatanggap na
54:52.5
allowance from four-piece.
54:55.0
Dapat, imbestigahan natin yun.
54:57.0
Kasi mahigit na apat na milyong
54:58.7
Pilipino ang nanakawan
55:04.5
mahalaga to dahil
55:05.8
ayuda ang kailangan natin ibigay sa tao.
55:10.6
ang dapat nararamdaman nila.
55:12.9
So, ang akin lang, let's talk
55:14.6
about the real issues that affect the nation.
55:17.5
And let's not focus on topics
55:20.9
and that have no basis whatsoever.
55:29.0
Last question from
55:30.4
Mela Moras of Channel 4.
55:39.6
Hi, good morning mga Kongs.
55:41.7
Isa lang po about sa event,
55:43.4
particularly for Kong J.J. Suarez.
55:45.6
Sir, para lang mas maintindihan,
55:47.5
nung ating mga kababayan,
55:49.5
gaano ba kahalaga yung event na ito
55:51.4
sa ating mga ordinaryong
55:53.5
mawamayan? Like today, tumaas yung
55:55.5
unemployment rate at yun nga, may mga
55:57.5
problema pa sa bigas at iba pang bilhin.
55:59.5
With this alliance, nakikita ba natin na
56:01.5
masuunlad pa talaga yung buhay ng ating
56:03.5
mga kababayan? Mas marami pang programa,
56:05.4
mas marami pang bills na maipapasa.
56:07.7
Ano lang, a little bit
56:09.5
of correction lang.
56:11.4
Bumaba ang unemployment rate natin.
56:15.7
na ang nakakahanap ng
56:17.5
trabaho ngayon sa bansa.
56:20.6
At ngayon, nagkaroon
56:21.6
ng adjustment sa growth forecast
56:23.6
ang ating economic managers.
56:25.4
I think, from 5.8
56:27.9
na ngayon po, 6.3%
56:29.8
na ang expected growth
56:31.6
rate natin. So, that means our
56:33.4
economic, our economy is
56:35.5
starting to grow faster
56:37.9
and become more vibrant.
56:40.2
At kung susundan po natin
56:41.6
itong mga nakalipas na dalawang
56:43.5
linggo, we can expect
56:45.4
more foreign direct
56:47.3
investments to come in, given
56:49.4
the restrictions imposed by
56:51.4
our constitution. Although we
56:53.2
are still looking forward
56:57.1
restrictions be removed
57:03.3
ang mga foreign direct
57:05.2
investments sa ating bansa.
57:07.2
So, kung ito po bang alliance na to
57:09.2
ay makakadulot ng mas magandang
57:11.4
bukas para sa bansa ng Pilipinas,
57:15.2
Kung itong alliance po bang ito,
57:17.3
makakatulong sa pag-angat
57:19.0
ng antas ng buhay ng ating mga kababayan,
57:22.0
opo. Kung ito po bang
57:23.5
alliance na to ay makakasiguro
57:25.9
ang ating mga kababayan
57:27.7
nasa laylayan, na maaabutan
57:30.1
po sila ng mga proyekto at programa
57:35.9
Dahil ito po ay ginagawa na po
57:38.0
ng ating mahal na Pangulo.
57:40.1
At sa pamamagitan ng pagsama
57:41.9
ng lakas CMD sa kanila,
57:44.2
makakasiguro sila
57:45.4
na meron silang matibay,
57:49.1
partner sa mababang kapulungan
57:51.6
at sa iba't ibatang bahagi ng ating
58:00.1
kasama natin ang ating
58:01.8
Pangulo sa pag-angat ng buhay
58:03.7
ng bawat Pilipino.
58:06.0
Thank you. We invite
58:07.7

58:09.7

58:23.3

58:29.3
sa mga kaibigan natin sa Senate.
58:33.3

58:45.3
ang mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga mga
58:47.3
mga elektron na susunod na taon.
58:51.3
Kasi lang huwag naman natin gagamitin
58:53.3
ang posisyon natin sa anumang bagay
58:59.3
Let's use our position
59:01.3
for the betterment of the Filipino
59:05.3
If you want to talk
59:11.3
those are hard topics
59:15.3
should be taken with a word of caution.
59:19.5
So, sa atin pong lahat, sa mga kasamahan po natin sa media,
59:24.4
nagpapasalamat po kami sa oras at pagkakataon na nakasama po namin kayo ngayong umaga.
59:30.1
