[1:39] Next slide, please. [1:41] Next slide, please. [1:43] Next slide, please. [1:45] Next slide, please. [1:47] Next slide, please. [1:49] Next slide, please. [1:51] Next slide, please. [1:53] Next slide, please. [1:55] Next slide, please. [1:57] Next slide, please. [1:59] Next slide, please. [2:01] Next slide, please. [2:03] Next slide, please. [2:05] Next slide, please. [2:07] Next slide, please. [2:09] Next slide, please. [2:11] Next slide, please. [2:13] Next slide, please. [2:15] Next slide, please. [2:17] Next slide, please. [2:19] Next slide, please. [2:21] Next slide, please. [2:23] Mr. President, please. [2:25] Next slide, please. [2:28] Thank you. [2:30] Next slide, please. [2:32] Next slide, please. [2:34] Thank you. [2:35] Next slide, please. [2:36] Mr. President, please. [2:38] is because we recognized that all members of the Committee on Public Accountability are not constituted. [2:56] Although the chairperson has been elected and the chairperson, as legislative practice will reveal, [3:07] has from time to time been allowed by practice to hold consultative meetings, even if there is no quorum, [3:16] even if the Committee has not been fully constituted. [3:19] And also, yes, that is correct, is empowered to designate a vice chairman. [3:26] So in the meantime, because we are not out of respect for our colleagues in the minority, [3:34] because they are not constituted, they are not allowed, [3:39] we are not going to do this hearing. [3:43] This is in contrast to the previous bogus hearing last Thursday, [3:51] wherein the Blue Ribbon Committee precisely had been declared vacant, [3:57] and even before we removed the Senate President, former Senate President, [4:03] they already sent out notices for that June 4 hearing, [4:10] which again is an indication of their disregard for our rules in the Senate. [4:17] Just for the record, Mr. Chairperson. [4:22] Thank you for that clarification. Go ahead. [4:25] Dagdag lamang po dun sa sinabi ni Vice Chair Kiko, Mr. Chair. [4:29] In fact, dun sa bogus hearing, [4:32] nagpakita at nagsalita yung 18 ex-bodyguards at saka si Attorney Baligod. [4:38] So, although of course, I submit to what the Chair has said na, [4:42] hindi naman sila mapipilitang dumalo dito sa ating meeting bilang mga guests. [4:47] I think loss po sa kanila na hindi sila humarap sa committee hearing na ito [4:52] para matanong din natin ibang mga senador [4:56] and yung mga miyembro, magiging miyembro ng committee once constituted, [5:02] dahil naghanda rin po tayo ng mga tanong sa kanila. [5:05] Just for the record, Mr. Chair. Salamat po. [5:07] Mr. Chairman, just to emphasize na yung June 3, [5:10] klarong-klaro na noong diniklare all seats vacant, [5:15] ang inelect natin as chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee [5:20] ay no other than Senator Irwin Tulfo. [5:23] So, siya lang ang may karapatan na tumawag ng ganitong consultative meeting [5:28] at siya lang ang may karapatan para mag-issue ng mga invitations [5:31] through the Blue Ribbon Secretariat. [5:34] So, let me just put that on record. [5:38] Thank you, Mr. Sen. Pro Tempore, Acting President, [5:44] Wynge Chila. [5:45] Guide Attorney Matibag. [5:46] May I approach po. [5:48] May... [5:49] There's an important thing that I want to relay po sa inyo po. [5:52] Pwede po akong lumapit dyan. [5:53] Because I cannot say... [5:55] One minute suspension. [5:57] Alright, mga kapuso, patuloy po ang pagdinig. [6:44] Nagkaroon ng isang minutong suspensyon para makalapit si NBI Director [6:49] Atty. Melvin Matibag kay Sen. Irwin Tulfo dahil meron daw siyang naisabihin. [6:53] Pero mga kapuso, sa punto po ito, dumating na rin sa Senado [6:56] ng ilang nagpakilalang dating tauhan ni Zaldico. [6:58] At may ulat si Ian Cruz. Ian? [7:01] Sa mga sandaling ito, narito tayo sa gabi ng Senado. [7:06] Nakita na natin at nagsalitan na rin kanin-kanina si Atty. Levito Baligod [7:10] at saka mga niya, itong mga nagpakilalang dating senodano. [7:13] At ang sinasabing niya, PIA ay talagang dadalo sila sa pagdinig. [7:17] Handa daw silang bumalo sa anong pagdinig. [7:22] Kapagka wala naman daw silang kailangan itago, [7:26] bupas naman daw sila sa lahat ng investigasyon. [7:28] Sa ngayon, PIA ay hindi pa sila nakakapanik [7:30] sapagkat inaayos pa yung VMS o yung Visitor Management System [7:34] kasi kailangan mag-login doon, yung mga QR code na kailangan. [7:38] Kapag naayos na yan, ay nakakapanik sa doon sa ikalawang palapag [7:43] nitong Senado kung saan naroon na ang plenary hall [7:45] at ginagawa yung hearing ng Sen. Duribon Committee. [7:50] Ang isa sa mga nababanggit ni Atty. Baligod [7:55] ay sana nga daw ay isa sa mga tingnan ay nabanggit nila. [8:00] Ito nga si Sen. Irwin Pulfo [8:02] kaya sana nga ay nais nila ay huwag itong mamuno sa pagdinig. [8:07] Pero siyempre, ginawin pa natin yung kanyang hinihiling ngayon. [8:12] At sa ngayon, ang sinasabi niya, yung ibang mga kasama niya, [8:15] ay namatayan, may galing pa ng probinsya. [8:22] Kompleto naman daw silang lahat dito ngayon [8:27] at wala mo problema. [8:29] Tadalo sila dito nga sa pagdinig ng Sen. Duribon Committee. [8:33] At siya ngayon, dumating din si Sen. Robin Padilla. [8:36] Ito, sama niya si Atty. Levy Baligod. [8:43] Isang siya yung kanyang hinihiling ngayon. [8:50] O-o. [9:03] May director baka isang hinihiling ngayon. [9:04] Yes. [9:06] Yes. [9:07] Yes.
