00:00Vice President Sara Duterte said that there are various issues regarding her, including the reduction of her security and her influence in the government.
00:08VP Duterte also shared one of the reasons why she withdrew from the DepEd.
00:14Here's the first news, Marisol Abduraman.
00:17Just recently, Vice President Duterte held a phone-lock interview after she formally turned over her leadership in the DepEd.
00:28The reasons for her withdrawal as a member of the Cabinet, she said, are not yet clear.
00:34The list of reasons is really long.
00:37There are different categories, there's personal, just the two of us, there's DepEd, there's budget, and there's also in the country.
00:49So, the list is a bit long and at the moment, I'm not ready to go through it one by one.
01:00But I will tell you when I'm ready.
01:03Someday, I just don't know when that day and time will come.
01:07But she shared one of the reasons why there is a conflict in the government's budget.
01:13But if you just read the GAA and trace where the money is going, you will see that the government's budget is not handling the money properly.
01:28I tried to correct what I saw wrong, but of course, I didn't get any support, I didn't see any changes.
01:40That's why I said that it won't be repeated in my budget for 2025.
01:46I can't handle the Department of Education's budget and just repeat what I did before.
01:53How is your relationship with BBM now, ma'am?
01:56Yes, we haven't seen each other and we haven't talked to President Marcos.
02:02I don't have a description of our relationship now with President Marcos, we haven't talked to each other.
02:08Now, she is no longer in the administration's power, it seems that the vice president speaks more freely.
02:14Whoever you see reacting publicly and privately to what I'm saying,
02:20those are the people who are affected by what I said in my statements,
02:27those who are not up to the service, not up to their work, and not up to serving the country.
02:37My frustration as a vice president and as a Filipino in what's happening,
02:45or what we hear from our government, I said that I'm not moving for the administration,
02:54I'm not moving for the opposition, not for politics, but for the country.
02:59VP Sara was surprised by the Octa Research survey where the number of Filipinos who claim to be pro-Duterte decreased.
03:07I was surprised because I just saw a survey where the question was, are you pro-Marcos or pro-Duterte?
03:17Do you really spend money to ask people if you're pro-Marcos or pro-Duterte?
03:26Maybe they should have asked if you're pro-Filipinas.
03:31I'm sure all of that will be transferred to pro-Filipinas.
03:35If you read it right away, the motive there is perpetuation in power.
03:40All of the threats to your power will be destroyed.
03:47It's very obvious to everyone you hear, see, and do.
03:55The motive there is, I don't want this to come down on me forever, so I will destroy you all.
04:02I don't care if what I destroy is true or not, as long as you are destroyed.
04:10That's the motive there. It's all about politics. Everything is all about politics and power.
04:18We also asked Vice how his security is now.
04:22Surveillance, casings, that's how the PNP harasses.
04:30That's the mode of the PNP when they want to harass people.
04:38So it depends on you if you notice that you're being harassed or what you're going to do.
04:42So now what we do is we record everything they do.
04:48We get the facts and put it in a file.
04:52Do I feel threatened?
04:54Yes.
04:56This is not the first time that we have a problem with politics as a family.
05:04This is the first news. Marisol Abduraman for GMA Integrated News.
05:18Stay tuned on GMA Pinoy TV and www.gmanews.tv.
