Transcript

00:00Welcome back to Controversia with professional basketball player John Amores.

00:21He was just finished shooting an opponent in a basketball game in Lumban, Laguna.

00:26Amores did not comment when he surrendered to the authorities

00:29Here's the story of Bea Pinla.

00:33In the pool of the CCTV when the motorcycle went down,

00:36John Amores, a PBA player in Barangay Maytalang Uno, Lumban, Laguna,

00:41had a gun with him and this man chased him and shot him.

00:47The driver of the motorcycle is Amores' 20-year-old brother.

00:53According to the police, the victim was not hit by a bullet.

00:57The victim and Amores, who fought in a basketball game,

01:01were later taken home for shooting.

01:03According to the police investigation, they lost more than P4,000 in the game.

01:09They had a call that did not match.

01:12He chased the opponent in Barangay Salak.

01:15Our suspect left first.

01:21The victim followed him until they reached Barangay Maytalang.

01:28When they reached there, another shot was fired.

01:32John Amores had a gun with him and the victim was shot.

01:38Amores' brother agreed to play basketball in Barangay Salak.

01:43According to a resident there, Amores and the victim had a heated discussion in the basketball court

01:49but in the end, they were caught.

01:51They didn't hit each other. Maybe they were just fighting.

01:56After a few minutes, they were caught. I thought it was over.

02:05But later...

02:06There was a commotion.

02:09I don't know if it was Amores' brother.

02:13He had something in his bag, I mean in his motorcycle, his u-box.

02:19After a few hours of searching for the brothers,

02:23they eventually surrendered to the police at 2 a.m.

02:27He voluntarily surrendered to our station

02:31because there was a threat to their lives, to both of them.

02:38That was their only decision.

02:40They were afraid of their safety.

02:44The suspects covered their faces and covered their mouths.

02:49Sir, why did one of the bullets hit the basketball?

02:57We just wanted to know your plan.

02:59Sir, can you give us a statement about what happened to the bullets earlier?

03:04Amores faced an attempted murder complaint.

03:09In 2022, Amores was found to be a player of Jose Rizal University

03:15in the middle of their game against the College of St. Benilde in NCAA.

03:19Bea Pinlac reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:25The mother of the basketball player, John Amores,

03:27responded to the lawsuit in Lumban, Laguna.

03:34I saw it on the CCTV.

03:36My son was alone in front of the camera.

03:38My son was alone in front of the camera.

03:45My son is dead.

03:46Will he be able to return it?

03:49He tried to approach the mother of the victim,

03:51but she was blocked by the police.

03:53She was calmed down by the police.

03:56According to the mother of the victim,

03:57she did not show herself to her son

03:59because she knows that he will be angry if he finds out what happened.

04:02The mother of the victim was only informed about it

04:04even though her children hid it from her.

04:06She insisted that she will not argue with Amores.

04:13Philippine Basketball Association Commissioner Willie Marshall

04:16gave a statement regarding the shooting of John Amores.

04:18He said that they will not comment on the case

04:20because it is being investigated by the police.

04:22But they said that they are saddened by the incident.

04:30In other news,

04:31there is a crucial personality

04:33that was confirmed by Mayor Alice Guo

04:35in the Executive Session

04:37this Tuesday regarding the illegal fireworks.

04:40The former PNP Chief, Benjamin Acorda,

04:42is ready to confront the Senate

04:44because he was able to get a picture

04:46with some of the personalities

04:48that were involved in the fireworks.

04:50This is the news of June Veneracion.

04:53Executive Session

04:55There was a few minutes of Executive Session

04:58by the Senators.

04:59I dismiss Balban Mayor Alice Guo.

05:02The Executive Session was not wasted.

05:05You know, I'm not at liberty to share with you.

05:08I haven't digested everything yet.

05:12If she is the least guilty,

05:17if she lied before,

05:19she has a reason.

05:21What's important is that this is an icebreaker.

05:23What's important is that Alice should be put first.

05:27I think there are masterminds behind this.

05:29If this is a big operation,

05:31it's important that she should tell us who it is.

05:34The Chairperson of the Committee on Women and Children,

05:37Senator Risa Ontiveros,

05:39is not very satisfied.

05:41But...

05:42There was one crucial personality

05:44confirmed by Mayor Guo.

05:46This corroborates a theory

05:48that the committee shared a month ago.

05:50Because the session was confidential,

05:52the Senator did not detail

05:54what this theory is

05:56or who is the confirmed personality.

05:58The Executive Session will continue next week.

06:01We invite the next speaker to the Senate,

06:04former PNP Chief Benjamin Acorda Jr.

06:07and other PNP officials,

06:09to share their images with some personalities

06:12who are being targeted by POGO.

06:13We deem it important to give them a platform

06:16to respond in the interest of fairness.

06:19General Acorda gave us the assurance,

06:23members of the Council of Chiefs,

06:26that he's not doing anything wrong.

06:29And he's not the PNP Chief that's being targeted.

06:33Because General Villanueva's source of information

06:36was also leaked.

06:38No invitation has been received from the Senate to Acorda,

06:41but he's ready to face this.

06:43He admitted that he was hurt by the leaked images.

06:46It's really painful because for 37 years,

06:49I tried to keep my records clean,

06:51but just for one picture or many pictures,

06:55and with so many inventions,

06:59it was destroyed immediately.

07:00But that's part of the service.

07:03Acorda insisted that he was never involved

07:06in the operation of the illegal POGO

07:08or any other illegal transaction.

07:10On the same day, he ordered the raid of the POGO

07:12in Bambantarlac in March.

07:14I never tolerated or transacted illegal activities

07:18with my friends.

07:20Even if they are involved,

07:21if there's any assistance for their country,

07:23and if there's anything that needs to be discussed,

07:27I'm just legal.

07:28I don't transact illegally.

07:30Retired Brigadier General Raul Villanueva,

07:33the PACOR official, said on September 17

07:35that there's an unverified intel report

07:38that an ex-PNP chief helped GO

07:41and that he's still in Payola, Omano.

07:44In his next appearance in the Senate,

07:46he asked the ex-PNP chief for help

07:48who was affected by what he said.

07:50I can face anybody squarely, eye to eye,

07:53without flinching an eye.

07:54I can say that we are clean there.

07:57So I will leave.

07:58We have nothing to do there.

07:59If he escapes, I will not accept money from him.

08:04Along with his escape,

08:05his brother, Sheila,

08:08who is now under the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation.

08:11According to the Bureau of Immigration,

08:13he was transferred there due to security concerns.

08:17Under the custody of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

08:21Tony Young,

08:22former economic advisor, Michael Young,

08:25studied by the NBI and prosecutors

08:28who filed a complaint of falsification and use of alias against him.

08:32So that he will not be deported,

08:34so that he will have a reason to be left in the Philippines

08:36and face criminal cases.

08:37Young admitted that he is a Chinese national,

08:40but his grandfather helped him

08:42to get a birth certificate that he is not in the Philippines.

08:46Various agencies are investigating

08:49the possible connection between Young and the POGO.

08:52We will look into the various businesses of Tony Young,

08:55the warehouse, the possible POGO,

08:59to see what could be a heavier crime against him.

09:03Young has a deportation case in the Bureau of Immigration.

09:06Because of misrepresentation and undesirability.

09:11June Veneracion reporting for GMA Integrated News.

09:17The ash of the Canlaon volcano has fallen

09:20in the past 24 hours.

09:22According to the latest data of PHIVOX,

09:24from almost 7,000 on Tuesday,

09:26more than 7,300 tons of sulfur

09:30were the only things that the volcano lost yesterday.

09:33Meanwhile, the smell of sulfur

09:36has reached Moises Padilla, Negros Occidental.

09:39According to the Provincial Health Office of the residents there,

09:42they should wear a face mask

09:44because of the bad effect of the smell of sulfur.

09:47Seven volcanic earthquakes were recorded yesterday.

09:51The Canlaon volcano is still at alert level 2

09:54and there is continuous earthquake.

09:59Several cities in Metro Manila

10:01witnessed a third-quarter nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill.

10:04Mark Makalalad of Super Radio DZBB is live on the spot.

10:08Mark.

10:10Raffy, at 9 a.m. on the eve of the siren's sound,

10:15the three-quarter nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill

10:17for this year was docked,

10:19cover and hold simultaneously.

10:22They were led by the Office of Civil Defense Administrator,

10:25Undersecretary Ariel Nepomuceno,

10:27PHIVOX Director Teresito Bacolucol,

10:29and Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary Diane Rose Cajipe

10:33to hold the ceremonial pressing of the button

10:35in Barangay Capitolio in Pasig City.

10:37In her message,

10:38Nepomuceno said that if the magnitude 7.2 earthquake is stopped,

10:45thousands of lives could be lost.

10:49That's why the solutions should be science-based.

10:52Nepomuceno emphasized the importance of

10:56each one of us following the guidelines

10:59whenever there is an earthquake to reduce casualties.

11:02In her message, Cajipe said that

11:04not only should we remember what to do whenever there is an earthquake,

11:08but also to stop the earthquake as soon as possible.

11:12The correct timing of the earthquake

11:14cannot be known earlier,

11:16so it is advisable to study the steps laid out by the government

11:21so that not only our own lives are affected,

11:23but also the lives of others.

11:25When the alarm rang,

11:27exactly at 9 in the morning,

11:29the residents of Pasig City Hall,

11:34even the students of the nearby school,

11:36went out of the facility and gathered in an open area

11:40along FB Harrison.

11:42The residents of Pasig City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office

11:47and several local agencies led the process.

11:50There were also other scenarios,

11:52such as rescuing the injured,

11:54medical evacuation,

11:55extinguishing the fire,

11:57and rescue operations.

11:58According to Pasig City LGU,

12:00they are taking this type of drill seriously

12:02so that their action can continue to be coordinated

12:06at the time of the disaster.

12:08Also included in the earthquake drill this morning

12:11were the officers and personnel of Manila Police District in Manila.

12:15There were also safety areas where they gathered

12:18while protecting their heads

12:21while most of them are wearing helmets.

12:24There are also concerns about those who cannot go out

12:27and go to the safety area.

12:29In addition,

12:31it is advisable for the local government to conduct an inventory or inspection

12:36of public houses.

12:38It is important to conduct a structural integrity audit

12:42to know if the hospitals, schools, and government offices

12:47can handle the strong earthquake.

12:49The building code of the Philippines must also be strictly enforced.

12:54Mark Makalalad of GMA Super Radio DSW

12:57will be back in the afternoon.

12:58Thank you very much, Mark Makalalad.

13:02More than 20 students in Guagua, Pampanga

13:05were affected by the sinking of a boat.

13:09And here in Pangasinan,

13:10a woman's body was found buried in a beach in Lingayen.

13:14This is CJ Torrida of GMA Regional TV.

13:21The body of a 20-year-old woman in Lingayen, Pangasinan,

13:25was found buried in the sand.

13:27It was discovered by the police one day

13:29after the victim was declared missing.

13:32According to CCTV,

13:34the woman went out of a building holding her cell phone.

13:38We saw that she was being followed by her boyfriend.

13:42He was returning home before 10 p.m.

13:45It was also discovered that the woman was walking

13:48until she reached Barangay Hall.

13:50The victim was not able to enter the school,

13:53so she was declared missing.

13:55Based on the investigation,

13:56the victim suffered a head injury,

13:59but the result of the autopsy is still waiting

14:02The victim was arrested.

14:03The victim's boyfriend was subject for investigation,

14:06and two others.

14:07Crime of passion is also considered a possible motive for the crime.

14:21GMA Regional TV continues its efforts

14:23to get a statement on the birth of the victim.

14:26Residents are rushing to get on a boat

14:29in the river at Barangay Bankal, Guagua, Pampanga.

14:35The boat is slowly sinking.

14:38More than 20 children are on board,

14:40from Grade 1 to Grade 4.

14:42According to one of the parents,

14:44the children were allowed to go home

14:46after 11 p.m. on Monday morning

14:48when their boat sank.

14:50The children were taken to the hospital.

14:54The children were very helpful

14:56to the concerned citizens and some boatmen.

14:58The boat is sinking.

14:59I didn't think the children were small.

15:02CJ Torrida of GMA Regional TV

15:04reports for GMA Integrated News.

15:08A senior citizen was found dead

15:11two days after she left our area.

15:13The boat sank.

15:14The boat sank.

15:15The boat sank.

15:16The boat sank.

15:17The boat sank.

15:18The boat sank.

15:19The boat sank.

15:20The boat sank.

15:21The boat sank.

15:22The 72-year-old man was last seen in Tayong, Abra on Sunday.

15:28On Tuesday, his body was found in a field a few meters away from their home.

15:33The man was said to have come from the jungle because he saw his slippers there.

15:38He also did not see any wounds on his body.

15:40The family members did not have his body autopsied because they believe that there is no foul play in the death of the man.

15:47Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri returned home after a heated debate on the new Congressional District of Embobarangay in Taguig.

16:01Here is the latest from Ma'am Gonzalez.

16:04What do you want? What do you want?

16:06What do you want? What the f**k do you want?

16:08Senator and Senate Sergeant-at-Arms met, but Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Juan Miguel Zubiri did not allow Senator Cayetano and Senator Miguel Zubiri to rush to the Senate session.

16:18Hey, f**k you. You're just a mayor here. You have nothing to do with this.

16:23You said that.

16:24That's what I'm trying to say.

16:25Are you going to make us 50?

16:27What did I tell you? I told you that we can talk. This is too important.

16:32The defeat of Senator Cayetano's request to rush to the Senate session began with his Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23,

16:39which states that there is no law that establishes where the Congressional District can be counted as the Enlisted Men's Barrio or Embob,

16:47a barangay that was once part of Makati City but was transferred to Taguig based on the Supreme Court's decision in 2022.

16:54That's why in the election of 2025, according to COMELEC, no other vote was counted in the Congress for the more than 200,000 registered voters for Embo.

17:02The resolution states that the district will include every Embo barangay because the situation is urgent and the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy is near.

17:12But Zubiri was quick to discuss this.

17:14This was not in the daily agenda. This particular issue is on the disenfranchisement of these 10 Embo barangays.

17:21However, Your Honor, I'm trying to get in touch with our colleague who is from Makati and I do not know, does this have any implication to Senator Binay's representation?

17:32I can state for the record, Mr. President, it has nothing to do with Makati anymore.

17:36Because all of these barangays are now under Taguig, being administered by Taguig, and the problem is they will not be able to vote for any…

17:48One minute suspension, she's calling.

17:49One minute suspension, Ms. Binay.

17:51This is where the two shouted. After the session, they calmed down.

17:55It didn't have to go that way and I apologize if I raised my voice.

17:59We did give due courtesy to Senator Nancy even if this involves barangays that are no longer part of Makati.

18:06But because the chair thought it used to belong to Makati, we cleared it with her.

18:11The response was she can confirm or deny the same.

18:15It has nothing to do with Makati because it has everything to do with Taguig.

18:21I was with Senate President Zubiri since 1998. So maybe we're entitled to one heated argument, which is tonight.

18:28In the end, the two senators shook hands and hugged.

18:31The Senate also adopted a resolution that is not a law but only expresses the sentiments of the Senators.

18:38Zubiri laughed when Senator Nancy Binay passed by.

18:43Zubiri said that this is just a miscommunication and that it would have been avoided if there was a consultation with the Senators.

18:50When she explained that it's just a mere request of Congress, then okay.

18:54We already agreed with what happened. We already agreed that I think we shouldn't let our emotions run wild.

19:03Kaya Tanong refused to comment on the issue.

19:05The sentiment of some residents in Embu is that the issue of voting for their representation in the House of Representatives should be avoided.

19:12I think it's ugly.

19:14What's ugly?

19:16That we can't vote as congressmen.

19:22We're used to having congressmen every time we vote.

19:27It's our first time in Embu that there's no congressman.

19:32The commilite will wait for the congressman's statement.

19:35Mav Gonzalez is reporting for GMA Integrated News.

19:39A house in Quezon City was caught red-handed.

19:43And in his escape, he hid in the bathroom of the house.

19:47This is the news of James Agustin.

19:54The police forcibly opened the door of the comfort room of a house in the barangay UP Village, Quezon City.

20:01Hey, where are you going?

20:03There, the search for a man who was about to steal things from the house is in the center.

20:09When the lights were turned on, the suspect discovered where he was hiding.

20:13Get out of there! Get out!

20:18The suspect was forced to leave the house.

20:21According to the police, when the owner came home, he was surprised when the suspect entered the house.

20:27When he entered the gate, he saw a man inside his house.

20:33And when he noticed, while he was closing the door, he ran towards the direction of their bathroom.

20:42The owner came out to ask for help.

20:45The other stolen things were already at the gate of the house.

20:48The police were able to find him because he was patrolling the area.

20:53He immediately asked for help from his grandfather and the police accompanied him to the direction where the suspect was hiding in the bathroom.

21:04The stolen items, including speakers, DVD player, printer, two wheels and electric fan, were recovered.

21:11In total, these items are worth more than P55,000.

21:15The suspect entered the house through the window of the house.

21:21He broke the window of the house.

21:23The 27-year-old suspect was previously jailed for the case of Malicious Mischief.

21:28Now, he is facing a complaint of robbery.

21:31I did it because life is hard.

21:34How many times did you do it?

21:36Twice.

21:37What will you do with the wheels and the stolen items?

21:41I will sell them for money.

21:43The police also found out if the suspect was with him and if he was a member of the group.

21:50James Agustin reporting for JMA Integrated News.

21:59Best playtest, Mare and Pare.

22:02The sequel movie of Alden Richards and Catherine Bernardo, Hello, Love Again, is trending.

22:14Hello.

22:16One hot Americano, doll.

22:18One hot Americano for Joy.

22:20For Maree.

22:22Joy!

22:23Maree.

22:25Many of the millions of people who watched the official teaser were impressed by the twist that Joy is gone.

22:32The long-distance relationship of Catherine's character was tested in the upcoming movie.

22:38When they met again, it seems like something has changed.

22:42Will it be a happy or heartbreak ending of the story of Ethan and Joy?

22:48That is what we will be waiting for on the big screen starting November 13.

22:54The camera approved the 6.352 trillion pesos proposed budget for 2025.

23:01It was approved by 285 congressmen while 3 were cut.

23:07This was one day after President Bongbong Marcos' Certify as Urgent.

23:13House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that the camera followed their timeline in passing this while keeping the transparency.

23:21With a budget of more than 6 trillion pesos, they spent P733 million for the office of the Vice President compared to the 2 billion pesos they are asking for.

23:32The budget was reduced for some of the programs of the OVP and transferred to other agencies that are doing the same program.

23:40In a press conference, Vice President Sara Duterte said that she will only listen to the budget of her office.

23:50She is just looking for congressmen with information that can be used against her.

23:56The camera has not been announced yet.

24:01They made another track, the resignation.

24:05They will say that we impeached you for wrongdoing, whatever.

24:09And then this group will say that you should leave because if you don't leave, you will be executed.

24:16But I will not answer to the young guns.

24:21The professional basketball player, Gianna Mores, was shot in a game.

24:29We will be joined by the chief of Lumban, Laguna Police, Police Major Bob Luis Ordiz.

24:34Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

24:36Yes sir. Good morning to all the listeners.

24:40First of all, how is the condition of the man who was shot by Gianna Mores?

24:45Our victim sir, ultimately there's nothing wrong with him.

24:53And there's nothing wrong with other people who were involved in the shooting.

24:59But we understand that he did not go home.

25:01Did he go home and is he still being searched for?

25:03After the incident sir, we had a hot pursuit operation.

25:09Then around 2 a.m., we received an info that two of our suspects have already surrendered.

25:20And did the two suspects explain why the shooting happened?

25:25Did they have a previous fight?

25:27As far as our investigation sir, there was no previous fight.

25:35So this is where the basketball started before the incident.

25:40What is their status now and what can we expect from them?

25:44Now sir, we will file a complaint of attempted murder against Gianna Anthony Amores

25:54and accessory to his brother.

25:59And now they are detained in the custodial facility of Lumban MPA.

26:07What is the determination? Why did you file a complaint of attempted murder against them?

26:11This is non-bailable, right?

26:13Yes sir, yes.

26:14What happened sir is that he was about to fire his gun although no one was with him.

26:20So we will file an attempted murder.

26:23And was the gun used in the incident recovered?

26:27That's right sir. When he surrendered early in the morning,

26:32he threw the gun to his brother.

26:36He told us that he threw the gun he used.

26:41And you are still looking for this because this is crucial evidence?

26:44Yes sir.

26:46Do you have a call to the possible witnesses where the gun used in the incident was thrown?

26:52Yes sir. If there are witnesses or information about the gun used by Mr. Gian Amores,

27:00we should provide information to our police in Lumban Municipal Police Station.

27:09Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared in Balitang Halik.

27:13Good afternoon sir. Thank you.

30:43The 28-year-old victim was found next to their house in Bargay North Poblacion.

30:49Based on the investigation, it was found that the man was hit by a high-voltage electrical power supply

30:55from a service drop wire.

30:57The service drop wire is for electricity in their barangay.

31:01It was tied to the barbed wire of their house.

31:06The Public Order and Safety Management Office of Iloilo City was overwhelmed.

31:11A person who came to work early this Monday was found in the office.

31:18Based on the investigation, two laptops worth P65,000 were found.

31:25Six persons of interest, who are minors, were found after they took a selfie using the camera.

31:36Vice President Sara Duterte insisted that she will not resign

31:40following the statement of some congressmen that she will only resign if she is no longer interested in her job.

31:49I will not leave this country because people put me here,

31:55believing that I will work for the country.

31:59And that is what we did.

32:00I need to answer to the 32 million people who voted for me.

32:07Some congressmen insisted that the Vice President will not resign

32:11following the statement of some congressmen that she will only resign

32:17based on how the 73 million confidential funds of the OVP were spent in 2022

32:24that was approved by the Commission on Audit.

32:26The Vice President previously insisted that there will be no unpaid funds.

32:31Vice President Duterte also answered her visit to Calaguas Island in Camarines Norte

32:36on Monday, the same day that the OVP budget was announced in the plenary in Camara.

32:42According to the Vice President, she was aware of the situation of the residents there

32:46who do not have access to medical, electricity, and internet.

32:55For those who watch Pulang Araw Gabi-gabi,

32:59Nominated is our favorite family drama series in the 2024 Venice TV Awards.

33:05She was visited by aliens at any time.

33:08She is still a friend of the Americans.

33:10She is in the Best Soap or Telenovela category.

33:13And here it is, Mari and Pare,

33:15Pulang Araw was nominated from the Philippines.

33:19The Portuguese telenovela Lady of Tides won the award.

33:23People or companies that produce the best TV content are recognized in the Venice TV Awards.

33:31It is chosen by a jury made up of TV experts from different countries.

33:39Former Deputy Undersecretary Gloria Humami trusted Mercado

33:43that she has received money from Vice President and Deputy Undersecretary Sara Duterte several times.

33:51Vice President Duterte did not give a direct answer about the money.

33:55But Mercado really resigned because of the issue of trust and confidence.

34:00Here is the news of Oscar Oida.

34:06From February to September 2023,

34:08while serving as the head of the procurement entity of the Department of Education or DepEd,

34:14DepEd Undersecretary Gloria Humami-Mercado received an envelope for the first time in months.

34:19The content is P50,000 pesos per envelope.

34:23The envelope is usually received by Assistant Secretary Sunshine M. Paharda.

34:28It is said that it came from Vice President Sara Duterte.

34:31In the middle of listening, she took out the envelopes.

34:44According to Mercado, she never opened the envelopes when she was still serving in DepEd.

34:51When she retired,

34:59to a non-government organization, which I did.

35:03And that's the only time that I opened these envelopes in front of the people that I was donating it.

35:09And it was P50,000 per envelope.

35:12The reason why you are considering all these concerns is because you believe that the envelope is a bribe.

35:19Do you agree? Yes or no, ma'am?

35:23It's kind of a harsh word to use, bribe.

35:29Because if... Or should I say, it is a means to influence your decision being the HOPE.

35:40It could be.

35:42In her affidavit, Mercado said that in October 2023,

35:46Mercado said that in October 2023,

35:48she was told by Attorney Reynold Monsayac, former Assistant Secretary of DepEd,

35:53for procurement about a bidding.

35:56He suggested in the presence of other officials who was with me,

36:01that the bidder should just discuss among themselves.

36:05Let's just discuss so that the money of 2023 will not be wasted.

36:09I firmly asserted that the procurement must be implemented and conducted in strict adherence with the rules.

36:26I was informed that I should tender my resignation effective that day.

36:30I refused to resign and I insisted on departing from service through voluntary retirement.

36:36The timing of my meeting with Ms. Olayka struck me as more than coincidental.

36:41It gave me the impression that my candid responses was the real reason behind the push to relieve me of my office.

36:50Would you agree if I would say that your refusal to Attorney Reynold Monsayac

36:58to discuss the 2022 continuing fund is the reason why you are resigning, Ms. Olayka?

37:08That's very speculative, ma'am.

37:11From your point of view, ma'am, it can be right, it can be wrong, but from your point of view,

37:18It could be.

37:20Attorney Monsayac was surprised by Mercado's refusal.

37:23Yes, I have no reason, interest, or inclination to issue an illegal order in a public place

37:32where there are people whom I don't even know.

37:35I said, what is your plan there?

37:37Because if you will continue the post-qualification and it will lapse, it will not reach December 2023.

37:47You should decide if you will revoke it.

37:49Because if you will revoke it, the fund will not be wasted.

37:53It will be utilized before the end of 2023.

37:56At a press conference, VP Sara Duterte said that Mercado's refusal is because of the issue of trust and confidence.

38:04He solicited 16 million pesos from a company on paper using my name without any authorization.

38:15The OVP issued a letter signed by Mercado in which the name of Vice President Sara Duterte is mentioned.

38:22This is close to the breakdown that can be used and the total cost of 16 million pesos.

38:28Mercado responded appropriately to the hearing.

38:32So we made a presentation to almost all the corporations.

38:35And then some of the corporations appreciated that it's a very important program.

38:41So some of them committed.

38:43I explained properly.

38:44I did not solicit.

38:45There's no money involved there.

38:47These are equipments.

38:49There's no cash there.

38:51These are equipments that will be turned over to DepEd.

38:55So I feel very sad that up until now, the VP has not been appraised as I explained it to her people.

39:06In his opening statement, Congressman Joel Chua said that he heard accusations and insinuations in their committee that it was a political exercise or attack on an individual.

39:17Chua said that the committee just wanted to know how the so-called confidential fund of the OVP was spent.

39:25I must stress at this point that the sheer vastness of these potentially misused funds sets this matter apart from other instances of irregularity and disallowance.

39:38These amounts easily surpass the threshold for the crime of plunder under our laws.

39:45We are listening to the reaction of Vice President Duterte.

39:50Oscar Oida reports for GMA Integrated News.

39:55This is the GMA Regional TV News.

40:01Due to a forgotten code in the vault, the city treasurer of Sagay Negros Occidental is being investigated.

41:35because he forgot the combination of its code.

41:38GEME Regional TV tried to get the contact details of the treasurer from LGU, but he said that he will not give a statement.
