00:00So Ms. Alice, is what Mayor Orleo is saying correct?
00:08Regarding what Acting Mayor Orleo said, I'm not the one they're talking to.
00:16What did you say?
00:18I'm not the one they're talking to.
00:20You're not the one they're talking to.
00:25But you're the one who endorsed Pogo as the nation's representative.
00:31Pogo, which was applied on June 1, was my resolution to them.
00:37No, what Acting Mayor Orleo said is that you endorsed Pogo as the nation's representative.
00:44Yes or no?
00:46No.
00:48Acting Mayor Orleo is lying.
00:52Wait, what did you say?
00:54Yes or no, Acting Mayor Orleo is lying.
00:57I'll repeat it to you.
00:59What Acting Mayor Orleo said is that you endorsed Pogo as the nation's representative
01:05to give a license to the court.
01:08And you endorsed Pogo as the nation's representative, that he is the presiding officer.
01:13Now you said no.
01:15It means that Acting Mayor Orleo is lying.
01:19He was your teammate when you became mayor.
01:22He's lying. Yes or no?
01:24Your Honor, I'm under oath.
01:28You're under oath?
01:29Yes.
01:30And if you answer me, is Acting Mayor Orleo lying or not?
01:33I'm not the one who endorsed him.
01:35Wait, he said it.
01:37He said you endorsed him.
01:39You answer me.
01:41I didn't endorse him.
01:43You didn't endorse him.
01:44It means that your mayor is lying.
01:47Your acting mayor is lying.
01:50Wait, why did you avoid me?
01:54You said you didn't endorse him.
01:56You said you endorsed the mayor.
01:59It means that my question is, did the acting mayor lie or not?
02:05Your Honor, I don't know.
02:07Yes or no?
02:09Your Honor, I didn't endorse him.
02:11Wait, you didn't endorse him.
02:13That's right.
02:14That's what you said, right?
02:15The acting mayor said that you endorsed him.
02:18My question is simple.
02:20It's in Tagalog, right?
02:22Therefore, if you didn't endorse him,
02:25you endorsed the acting mayor.
02:27You endorsed him.
02:29The acting mayor is lying.
02:31Your Honor, I didn't endorse him.
02:34Wait, don't change this.
02:38You just have to say yes or no.
02:41Yes or no, but you're going to make it long
02:44that you didn't endorse him.
02:46I'll repeat my question.
02:48It's like the budget hearing.
02:54I'll repeat my question.
02:56The acting mayor said that you endorsed him.
03:00You said that you didn't endorse him.
03:04Who lied?
03:06You or him?
03:08Your Honor, I didn't lie.
03:11Therefore, he lied.
03:14I think it's better if we ask him.
03:18Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:21No.
03:23Mr. Chair.
03:36Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:39No.
03:41Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:45Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:49Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:53Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
03:57Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
04:01Your Honor, it's better if we ask him.
