00:00We are not yet sure if former President Rodrigo Duterte will attend the next hearing of the House Squad Committee on War on Drugs on November 21.
00:09Former Senator Antonio Trillanes de Ford challenged him to sign a bank secrecy waiver. The former president said that he will sign it, but there's a condition.
00:20Former Senator Antonio Trillanes de Ford has a first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:23After all, former Senator Antonio Trillanes de Ford is the one who is the bank transaction that is in line with Duterte's illegal drugs.
00:35So the total of the credits that entered is 2.4 billion.
00:39That's the smoking gun of proceeds of the illegal drug trade of the Duterte crime family.
00:47And the signing of the bank secrecy waiver of the former president is a priority.
00:51If there's only one truth, I will resign and I will ask my daughter to resign and everybody in the family.
01:02That is my guarantee and I will hang myself.
01:06What happened is probably the hottest meeting in the squad committee hearing.
01:11Will the former president be okay that if we draft the waiver now, that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
01:18What's the alternative, sir?
01:21I will slap him in public.
01:23No, not now.
01:25Not now.
01:27I will slap him in public.
01:29I will slap him in public.
01:31Session suspended.
01:40In another angle, Trillanes said something before Duterte agreed to be slapped by the microphone.
01:47I will slap him in public.
01:50Session suspended.
02:02Please observe proper decorum.
02:05We are in a committee hearing.
02:09We have already stressed from the very beginning that the proper rules decorum will be implemented
02:19regardless of who you are.
02:21Sorry, sir.
02:23In the continuation of the hearing, the issue of the waiver was raised several times.
02:28Duterte was asked if he will really sign it or is there a condition?
02:32I have to ask my wife to appear here and to ask her if she is ready to waive the bank secrecy law.
02:41It's a joint account.
02:43So I had it back in my mind about my wife.
02:47But Trillanes was stubborn.
02:49Just for the record, it's a joint account between Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:58So they are not the wife.
03:01That's what we got.
03:04And just like what I anticipated earlier, Mr. Chairman,
03:09that when he said that he's willing to sign a waiver, it's the same thing.
03:15It's always a bluff.
03:17I will allow it. You can slap me, but sign the waiver first.
03:23Just to maintain decorum in this proceeding, and just to be fair,
03:27may we request the former senator not to provoke any resource persons
03:33because that won't do any good to anyone.
03:35I apologize, Mr. Chairman.
03:37Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
03:39He will slap me.
03:41Isn't that a provocation?
03:43I didn't say that.
03:45Come on, slap me first.
03:48But according to Quadcom's lead chair, Congressman Robert A. Barbers,
03:52on the contrary, the hearing was calm and orderly.
03:56I'm glad that there were no expletives and foul language, although there were some mistakes.
04:03But generally, it was all calm, it was all orderly,
04:09and most of all, we were able to elicit significant information from him.
04:14That's why there was no contempt, even when the former President Trillanes and former Senator Laila Delima were slapped.
04:22According to Quadcom, Quadcom should remind everyone to maintain proper decorum.
04:29To some people, it looks offensive.
04:33To some people, this probably will be perceived as a playful gesture of the President.
04:43So we really cannot judge.
04:46But of course, the attention of the President and the other resource persons there was actually called by the chair.
05:01The chair said let's maintain proper decorum.
05:04I think that was enough message for all of them.
05:08At the next Quadcom hearing on November 21, before the camera was released, the former President had a condition.
05:16If he will sign, he should not be alone.
05:20All of us, not just me. All of us. As in all of us.
05:26Who are you referring to?
05:28All of them that I want to point out. Even the one sitting in front of me.
05:32So you have a condition?
05:34Why only me?
05:36So that people can really see me.
05:42That's my money.
05:44Look at me.
05:46This is the first news.
