House Justice panel convenes on VP Sara Duterte impeachment report — May 4

[0:06] May we solicit the necessary motion to dispense with the calling of the roll, considering that this is a continuation of our April 22, 2026 hearing. [1:07] Madam Chair, the Honorable Mika Gonzalez from Pampanga 3rd District is recognized. [1:15] I move to dispense the calling of the roll. [1:17] There is a motion to dispense with the calling of the roll. [1:22] Do I hear a second? [1:23] Second. [1:24] The same has been seconded. [1:26] Is there any objection? [1:28] Hearing none, the motion is approved. [1:31] May I solicit the necessary motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the hearing held on April 22, 2026 and for the approval of the same. [1:44] Madam Chair, the Honorable Mika Gonzalez. [1:47] I move to dispense on the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting, Madam Chair. [1:53] There is a motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the hearing held on April 22, 2026 and for the approval of the same. [2:05] The same has been seconded by the Honorable Bell Samora. [2:10] Is there any objection? [2:12] Hearing none, the motion is likewise approved. [2:19] The Chair will address the committee. [2:26] Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat. [2:28] Good morning, good morning. [2:32] Good morning, good morning. [2:35] Itutuloy natin ngayon ang pagdinig na ito. [2:41] But before we move forward, it is important once again that we look back. [2:49] Dahil ang bawat hakbang natin ngayon ay nakatayo sa mga ebidensyang nailatag na sa mga nakaraang pagdinig. [3:00] Noong April 22, matatandaan na marami tayong mga resource persons, ang Ombudsman, ang Anti-Money Laundering Council or AMLC, ang Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC, at ang Bureau of Internal Revenue o BIR. [3:31] Sa pagdinig na yun, we entered what we describe as the territory of forensic truth kung saan hindi opinion ang nangingibabaw, hindi haka-haka, kundi opisyal na record. [3:58] Mga record na punong-puno ng numero at ang mga numerong iyon ay nagsalita. [4:09] Tatlong bagay ang malinaw na lumitaw. [4:18] Una, ang mga salen na walang cash o cash deposits. [4:28] We began with the office of the Ombudsman which confirmed the Vice President's submission of salens. [4:38] Ito yung tinatawag natin na statement of assets, liabilities and net worth. [4:45] Kapansin-pansin na mula 2016 hanggang 2024, tumaas ang net worth ng Vice Presidente mula 34 million patungong 88 million. [5:04] Ngunit kapansin-pansin din na mula 2019, zero cash o cash deposits ang idiniklara. [5:20] Wala, kahit 5. [5:23] Kaya hindi maiwasan ni Congressman Joel Tsuwa na magsabi, [5:29] E di wow! [5:31] Wala daw cash o cash deposit? [5:38] Tama po ang dinig ninyo. [5:41] Walang cash sa bulsa o kahit sa bangko. [5:47] Kung biro man ito, hindi ito nakakatawa. [5:51] Dahil kung walang cash o cash deposit, ang tanong, paano umikot ang pera? [6:04] At kung walang laman ang bangko, paano lumaki ang yaman? [6:11] At paano nakapag-deposit si Congressman Percy Sendanya sa isang bank account na nakapangalan sa Vice Presidente? [6:23] At ibig ba nitong sabihin ay ang Vice Presidente ang kaisa-isang opisyal sa buong Pilipinas na walang land bank account? [6:41] At iyan ang mga tanong na iniwan ng SAL-IN. [6:48] Pangalawa, ang AMLC at ang bilyon-bilyong galaw ng pera. [6:56] Sumunod na nagpahayag ang AMLAC. [7:02] Isang ahensyang walang kinikilingan. [7:06] Isang ahensyang sumusunod sa datos. [7:12] At sa pagtatanong ni Congressman Terry Ridon, [7:17] nakita natin na ang datos ay malinaw. [7:22] Kinumpirma ng AMLAC ang mahigit 630 covered transactions. [7:30] At 33 suspicious transactions na nagkakahalaga ng kabuang 6.7 billion pesos. [7:47] Siguro magandang isipin kung gaano kalaki ang halagang ito. [7:56] Mahigit 6 na bilyong piso. [8:00] Kapag ang SAL-IN ay nagsabing zero cash o cash deposit, [8:10] pero ang AMLAC ay nagsabing 6.7 billion, [8:16] hindi na ito simpleng discrepancy lamang. [8:23] O kahit ang basehan natin ay ang net worth na 88 million, [8:28] napakalayo pa rin ito sa bilyon-bilyong transaksyon na nakita ng AMLAC. [8:41] Ito na ang tinatawag ni Congressman Jokno na smoking gun. [8:50] Pangatlo, ang mga paratang ni dating Senator Sanitrelianes na nakumpirma. [8:58] Sampung taon, ganyan katagal ang hinintay ni Senator Trillianes. [9:10] Ganyan katagal pinagdudahan ang kanyang mga aligasyon. [9:17] Mga aligasyong patungkol sa mga bilyon-bilyong piso na pumasok sa mga account ng mga Duterte. [9:26] Ngunit noong April 22, ang mga ito ay hinarap at nakumpirma. [9:38] Pumili ng mga transaksyon at lahat ng ito ay kinumpirma. [9:45] 18 out of 18, labing walo sa labing walo. [9:52] Pero nang binilang muli, mali pala dahil ang totoo. [10:01] Oh, 19 out of 19 ang confirmed transaksyon. [10:12] Hindi ito tsamba. [10:15] Hindi ito coincidence. [10:19] Ito ay kumpirmasyon. [10:22] Dati, parang chismis lang. [10:26] Ngayon, may official record na. [10:29] At nang mag-match ang mga paratang ni Senator Trillianes at ang official record, [10:38] lalo pang luminaw ang katotohanan. [10:44] Sa madaling salita, [10:47] SAL-N, AMLC report at ang paliwanag ni Senator Trillianes, [10:56] iisang direksyon ang tinuturo. [10:58] At gaya ng sinabi ni Deputy Speaker J.J. Suarez, [11:06] hindi talaga tumutugma ang kwento sa kwenta. [11:14] At sa puntong yun, [11:16] mabigat ang binitiwang tanong ni Congressman Benny Abante. [11:23] Sinasabi nyo, [11:25] simpleng buhay, [11:27] pero paano naging simple kung milyon-milyon ang payout? [11:32] Dito sa milyon-milyong payout, [11:38] may mga pangalan na nabanggit. [11:41] Mga pangalang hindi basta-basta makakalimutan. [11:46] Names like Michael Young and Sammy Uy, [11:55] these are not ordinary names, [11:59] lalo na dahil napakalaking pera ang pinag-uusapan. [12:07] At base sa pahayag ni Senator Trillianes, [12:11] merong pahiwatig na isang pattern, [12:16] isang sistema. [12:18] At dahil dito, [12:20] dapat magkaroon pa [12:23] ng mas malalim pa na investigasyon. [12:29] Kailangang tukuyin [12:31] ang buong lawak ng network na ito. [12:36] Kung sino ang sangkot, [12:39] ano gumalaw ang pera, [12:43] saan ito nagmula, [12:46] hindi ito pwedeng baliwalain. [12:49] This warrants a separate, [12:53] focused, [12:55] and full-scale investigation. [12:59] In this light, [13:01] we humbly invite the attention [13:03] of the AMLC, [13:07] the NBI, [13:09] the DOJ, [13:10] and the Ombudsman. [13:14] At pagkatapos ng diskusyon [13:16] patungkol sa SAL-N, [13:19] sa AMLC report, [13:22] at sa pahayag ni Senator Trillianes, [13:24] tumuloy tayo sa ibang ebidensya. [13:29] We also examine corporate records [13:32] through the SEC. [13:35] At ang bumuloga sa atin [13:37] ay isang malinaw na palaisipan. [13:42] Nakita natin [13:43] na may kumpanyang nabanggit sa SAL-N [13:46] na hindi naman kinikilala [13:49] ang vice-presidente [13:51] bilang stockholder. [13:54] Napaisip tuloy tayo [13:55] na baka ang mga pangalang na kalista [13:59] ay mga anino [14:01] o dami lamang. [14:05] Mayroon namang isang kumpanya [14:07] na nagmamalaki ng gross income, [14:11] daang-daang milyon. [14:14] Ngunit ang profit margin [14:16] ay tila nakapagtataka [14:20] less than 1%. [14:23] Habang ang ibang kumpanya naman [14:26] ay wala talagang kita [14:29] at puro net losses. [14:34] Sa gitna ng pagtatanong [14:36] ni Congressman Lordan Suwan, [14:41] nakita natin [14:42] na mayroon ding isang kumpanya [14:45] kung saan aktibo [14:47] ang vice-presidente [14:49] bilang stockholder [14:51] at board member. [14:52] Kaya bumabalik ang tanong, [14:57] maaari ba [14:58] na maging aktibo sa negosyo [15:01] ang isang nakaupong vice-presidente? [15:05] Maaari ba [15:06] na maging public servant [15:08] sa umaga [15:09] at negosyante sa gabi? [15:15] At pagkatapos na mga usaping ito, [15:18] dumako tayo sa kahon. [15:21] Isang selyadong kahon [15:23] mula sa BIR. [15:26] Punong-puno ng ebidensya. [15:28] Ngunit nananatiling sarado, [15:33] nananatiling selyado. [15:37] Nandyan daw [15:38] ang mga report [15:39] ng vice-presidente [15:41] sa kanyang mga kinita [15:43] sa mahabang panahon. [15:47] Ibig sabihin, [15:49] kung hindi may paliwanag [15:51] ang bilyong-bilyong transaksyon [15:53] na nakita ng AMLC [15:55] na sa loob kaya ng kahon na iyan [16:00] ang paliwanag, [16:04] marahil ay pwedeng pag-isipan [16:06] kung ang SAL-N [16:08] ay nagsasabing walang cash [16:10] at cash deposit [16:11] at 88 million ang laman [16:14] ng kabuang net worth, [16:18] paano ito itatapat [16:19] sa report ng AMLC [16:22] na nagpapakita ng mga transaksyon [16:25] na umaabot sa bilyon-bilyong piso? [16:30] At kung ang negosyo ay lugi [16:33] ayon sa SEC [16:35] at ang sahod bilang vice-mayor, [16:40] mayor at vice-presidente [16:43] ay hindi naman aabot [16:45] sa isandaang milyon, [16:47] saan? [16:49] Saan ang galing [16:51] ang bilyon-bilyong transaksyon? [16:54] Ang tanong, [16:56] mga iginagalang namang babatas, [16:59] mga minamahal nating kababayan, [17:02] ang tanong, [17:04] nasa loob ba [17:05] ng kahon ang kasagutan? [17:08] Bagamat pansamantalang ipinagpaliban [17:13] ang pagbukas ng selyadong kahon, [17:17] malinaw sa ating lahat [17:19] ang kahong iyan [17:20] ay hindi lamang kahonang papel, [17:24] iyan ay kahon [17:26] ng napakaraming katanungan. [17:29] Katanungan na dapat sagutin [17:32] at dapat suriin [17:34] sa tamang panahon. [17:38] Pagkatapos na mga ribalasyong ito, [17:42] agad-agad nag-react [17:44] ang kampo [17:46] ng vice-presidente. [17:50] Muli, [17:51] tatlong punto [17:52] ang malinaw sa reaksyon nila. [17:56] Una, [17:57] sabi ng mga abogado, [18:00] handa raw sumagot [18:01] ang vice-presidente. [18:05] Handa raw siyang humarap, [18:07] pero [18:08] sa Senado. [18:11] Hindi dito, [18:13] kundi [18:13] sa Senado. [18:15] Ang upuan [18:17] ng vice-presidente [18:19] ay nananatiling [18:21] bakante. [18:22] Napaisip tuloy tayo. [18:27] Kung doon siya sasagot, [18:29] hindi ba't kinikilala na rin niya [18:32] na meron ng sapat na ebidensya dito [18:35] at patungo na talaga [18:38] sa Senado [18:39] ang kasong ito? [18:43] Pangalawa, [18:46] tungkol sa mga naibunyag [18:47] ng AMLOC, [18:49] lalo na iyong [18:50] 6.7 billion, [18:53] hindi raw nila [18:54] sinasabing [18:55] tama o mali [18:57] ang mga numerong ito. [18:59] Ngunit ang payo nila, [19:03] be cautious. [19:07] Mag-ingat daw tayo. [19:11] Mag-ingat. [19:14] Naaalala tuloy natin [19:16] si John Lloyd Cruz [19:18] sa kanyang karakter na Popoy. [19:24] Kapag pinapayuhan tayo ni Popoy [19:27] na mag-ingat, [19:29] damang-daman natin [19:31] ang pagmamahal. [19:34] Yan talaga [19:34] ang paalala ni Popoy. [19:38] Ingat tayo lahat. [19:40] Pero dito [19:42] ang bilin nila [19:45] na mag-ingat tayo [19:47] ay mukhang hindi galing [19:49] sa malasakit [19:51] tila isang babala [19:54] o baka nga [19:57] isang babala. [20:02] Mag-ingat. [20:05] Sa harap ng [20:06] bilyon-bilyong piso, [20:08] iyan ang sagot. [20:11] Napakasimple ng tanong, [20:14] may pera ba [20:15] o wala? [20:17] Mayroon bang [20:18] 6.7 billion [20:19] na gumalaw sa ilalim [20:22] ng mga pangalan nila [20:23] at kung mayroon, [20:26] saan galing? [20:30] Tapos tayo [20:31] ang mag-iingat, [20:33] be cautious daw, [20:35] anong klaseng sagot yan? [20:37] Mag-ingat daw [20:41] kasi baka raw [20:42] bloated [20:43] ang 6.7 million [20:46] na binanggit ng AMLOC [20:47] at baka paikot-ikot [20:50] lamang [20:51] ang pera [20:51] kaya lumaki ng ganito. [20:56] Theoretically, [20:56] posible. [20:59] Pero isipin natin, [21:01] mga kasama sa komite, [21:04] sinong matinong tao [21:06] ang gagawa niyan? [21:11] Anong klaseng tao [21:12] ang paglalaroan [21:14] ang pera [21:15] ng ganoon? [21:17] Paikot-ikot, [21:20] palipat-lipat, [21:22] inflow, [21:23] outflow, [21:25] sa loob [21:26] ng napakaraming taon [21:28] para ano? [21:30] Para umabot [21:31] sa bilyon-bilyon. [21:35] O baka naman, [21:36] ito na nga [21:38] ang binabanggit [21:39] ni Congressman [21:40] Sia Adyong [21:41] na [21:42] nilalabhan [21:45] na [21:45] ang pera. [21:48] Ayon sa kanya, [21:50] ang paulit-ulit [21:51] na labas [21:52] pasok ng pondo [21:53] ay senyales [21:55] ng [21:55] money laundering. [21:59] At kung ganoon, [22:01] lalo itong [22:01] dapat [22:02] ipaliwanag. [22:06] Kaya malinaw [22:07] ang panawagan, [22:10] huwag [22:10] manghula, [22:12] huwag [22:13] mag-assume, [22:15] ang vice-presidente [22:16] mismo [22:17] ang dapat [22:18] magpaliwanag. [22:20] Kung walang [22:21] tinatago, [22:22] buksan ang records, [22:25] ipakita ang accounts, [22:27] pero bakit [22:28] hindi [22:28] ginagawa? [22:31] Bakit patuloy [22:32] ang pag-iwas? [22:33] At ang pangatlo, [22:38] sa reaksyon [22:39] ng defense team, [22:43] ito na nga, [22:45] may bagong reklamo [22:46] na naman daw [22:47] na inihain [22:49] sa Office [22:50] of the City Prosecutor. [22:53] Bagamat [22:53] wala pa tayong [22:54] natatanggap [22:56] na opisyal [22:56] na kopya [22:57] ng nasabing [22:58] reklamo, [23:00] let me say this, [23:02] handa [23:03] tayong [23:04] harapin [23:05] ito. [23:05] Pero pansinin natin, [23:13] kung totoo [23:13] ang mga ulat, [23:16] ang tinutumbok [23:17] ng reklamo [23:18] ay ang sabpina [23:19] natin [23:20] at ang proseso [23:22] ng paglabas [23:23] ng AMLOC report. [23:26] Hindi [23:26] ang nilalaman [23:28] ng [23:29] AMLOC report. [23:32] Klaro, [23:35] hindi [23:35] itinatanggi [23:37] ang mga [23:38] bilyones [23:39] na nabanggit [23:40] sa AMLOC report. [23:41] At tila [23:44] inaamin na [23:45] may bilyon-bilyon [23:47] talagang [23:48] tinatago [23:49] at ang [23:51] tanging reklamo [23:52] lamang, [23:53] bakit ninyo [23:54] kami [23:55] binulabog? [23:59] Magreklamo [24:00] na sila [24:01] hanggat [24:02] gusto nila. [24:06] Ngunit [24:06] hindi nito [24:07] mababago [24:07] ang isang [24:08] simpleng katotohanan. [24:11] Ang [24:11] konstitusyon [24:12] ang pinakamataas [24:14] na batas [24:14] at ayon sa [24:17] konstitusyon, [24:19] lahat [24:19] ng opisyal [24:20] ay dapat [24:22] may pananagutan [24:23] sa taong bayan [24:24] sa lahat [24:25] ng oras. [24:28] Anumang [24:28] limitasyon [24:29] na nilikha [24:31] ng ordinaryong [24:32] batas [24:33] kasama [24:34] ng Bank [24:35] Secrecy Law [24:36] ay hindi [24:37] maaaring [24:38] manaig [24:39] laban [24:40] sa mandato [24:41] ng [24:42] konstitusyon [24:43] para [24:44] sa public [24:45] accountability. [24:48] At tayo [24:48] sa kumiting [24:49] ito [24:50] ang boses [24:51] ng utos [24:52] na iyan. [24:54] Kaya nga [24:55] pwede tayo [24:57] mag-issue [24:58] ng nararapat [24:59] na sabina [25:00] at lalo [25:02] na [25:02] sa kaso [25:04] ng impeachment [25:05] pwede [25:06] nating [25:06] hingiin [25:07] ang report [25:08] ng [25:09] Anti-Money [25:10] Laundering [25:11] Council. [25:14] Mga [25:14] kagalanggalang [25:15] na mambabatas, [25:17] mga [25:18] minamahal [25:18] na kababayan, [25:21] dagdagan pa [25:22] natin ito [25:23] and listen [25:24] to this. [25:26] Hindi [25:26] nilikha [25:27] ang Bank [25:28] Secrecy Law [25:29] para maging [25:31] taguan [25:32] ng hindi [25:35] may paliwanag [25:36] na yaman. [25:39] Ang layunin [25:40] ng Bank [25:40] Secrecy Law [25:41] ay protektahan [25:44] ang [25:45] lehitimong [25:46] deposito. [25:49] Hindi [25:49] pagtakpan [25:50] ang [25:51] kahinahinalang [25:52] galaw [25:53] ng [25:54] bilyon-bilyong [25:55] piso. [25:57] Ang papel [25:58] ng Amlock [25:59] ay siyasatin [26:01] ang mga [26:02] kahinahinalang [26:03] transaksyon [26:04] at iulat [26:06] ang mga ito [26:07] sa kinauukulan [26:08] dahil [26:10] ang pagpapalabas [26:12] ng katotohanan [26:13] ay hindi [26:15] paglabag [26:16] kundi [26:18] pagsunod [26:18] lamang [26:19] sa mas mataas [26:21] na prinsipyo [26:23] ng pananagutan. [26:26] If there is [26:27] nothing to hide, [26:30] there is [26:31] no reason [26:32] to hide. [26:34] There is [26:34] no reason [26:35] to obstruct. [26:38] The only [26:38] people [26:39] who fear [26:41] the disclosure [26:43] of these [26:43] transactions [26:44] are those [26:45] with [26:46] dirty [26:47] secrets. [26:51] Transparency [26:53] is the only [26:54] response [26:55] of those [26:56] with [26:56] integrity. [26:59] Everything [26:59] else [27:00] is just [27:01] an excuse. [27:04] At tandaan [27:05] natin, [27:07] dati pa nilang [27:08] sinubukan [27:09] na harangin [27:11] sa kagalanggalang [27:12] na Korte [27:12] Suprema [27:13] ang kapangyarihan [27:15] ng kumite [27:16] na mag-issue [27:17] ng sapina. [27:18] Pero hanggang [27:19] ngayon, [27:22] walang [27:23] temporary [27:23] restraining [27:24] order [27:25] o kahit [27:28] direktiba [27:29] galing [27:29] sa Supreme [27:30] Court. [27:31] Kaya [27:32] malinaw, [27:34] we [27:35] shall [27:36] proceed. [27:39] At yan [27:40] ang tatlong [27:40] bagay [27:41] na ginawa [27:42] nila. [27:44] Una, [27:45] nagdeklara [27:46] sila [27:46] na handa [27:47] silang sumagot [27:48] sa Senado. [27:51] Pangalawa, [27:52] sinabihan [27:53] tayo [27:53] na mag-ingat [27:54] daw tayo. [27:55] Pangatlo, [27:58] ang pag-file [27:59] ng panibagong [28:00] reklamo [28:00] laban sa atin. [28:04] At ngayon, [28:06] narito na tayo [28:07] sa puntong ito. [28:09] April 29, [28:12] itutuloy [28:13] natin [28:13] ang pagdinig. [28:16] Kung ang nakaraan [28:17] ay tungkol [28:18] sa numero, [28:19] ang pagdinig [28:20] ngayon [28:21] tungkol [28:22] sa pagkatao. [28:25] Hindi lamang [28:26] kung saan [28:27] napunta [28:27] ang pera, [28:29] kundi [28:29] sino [28:30] ang may hawak [28:32] nito. [28:32] Hindi lamang [28:34] transaksyon, [28:36] kundi [28:36] ang intensyon. [28:39] Today, [28:41] this committee [28:42] will therefore [28:43] continue [28:44] its pursuit [28:47] of the truth. [28:49] Sisimulan natin [28:50] sa selyadong [28:52] kahon [28:52] na galing [28:54] sa BIR. [28:56] Isang kahon [28:57] na naglalaman [28:58] ng mga dokumento [28:59] na maaaring [29:01] magbigay linaw [29:02] sa mga katanungan [29:03] natin. [29:05] Pero hindi tayo [29:06] titigil dyan. [29:08] Dahil pagkatapos [29:09] niyan, [29:10] pupunta tayo [29:12] sa mas malalim [29:13] at nakababahalang [29:15] usapin. [29:17] We will examine [29:18] allegations [29:18] involving threats, [29:21] intimidation, [29:23] possible violence, [29:25] destabilization. [29:27] Ang paratang na [29:28] kung totoo [29:30] ay hindi lamang [29:31] nakakaalarma, [29:33] kundi lubhang [29:34] mapanganib [29:35] para sa ating lahat. [29:38] May mga video, [29:40] may mga salita, [29:42] may mga pahayag [29:44] na kailangang [29:45] patunayan. [29:46] Kaya inaasahan [29:48] nating marinig [29:50] ang paliwanag [29:52] ng NBI, [29:53] National Bureau [29:54] of Investigation. [29:57] Sila [29:57] ang magdadala [29:58] ng mga video. [30:00] Sila [30:01] ang tutulong sumagot [30:02] sa mga [30:03] karagdagang [30:04] katanungan [30:05] tungkol sa mga ito. [30:08] So let us be clear, [30:10] this is no longer [30:11] just about [30:12] discrepancies. [30:14] This is now [30:16] about [30:16] character. [30:21] Sino ba talaga [30:22] ang vice-presidente? [30:26] Siya ba talaga ito? [30:29] Ang vice-presidente? [30:32] Ang ikalawang [30:33] pinakamataas [30:35] na opisyal [30:35] ng Republika [30:37] ng Pilipinas [30:38] na malinaw [30:41] na nagbanta [30:43] sa buhay [30:45] ng presidente. [30:49] Na nagutos [30:50] na patayin [30:52] ang presidente. [30:56] Siya ba itong [30:57] uhaw [30:58] sa karahasan? [30:59] Na nakuha pang [31:02] magsalita [31:02] tungkol [31:04] sa pagpugot [31:07] ng ulo [31:08] ng presidente. [31:13] Is she a public servant? [31:16] Bound by the same laws [31:18] as the person [31:19] on the street? [31:21] Or [31:22] one who believes [31:24] she is above [31:26] the law? [31:29] Siya ba ay lingkod bayan [31:30] na yumuyo ko [31:32] sa batas? [31:34] O isang [31:35] makapangyarihang [31:36] tao [31:37] na gustong [31:39] paluhurin [31:39] ang batas? [31:42] Ano ba talaga [31:43] ang kanyang [31:44] tunay [31:45] na kulay? [31:48] Iyan ang tanong [31:49] natin [31:49] sa araw na ito. [31:52] Iyan ang [31:53] susubukin [31:54] nating [31:54] sagutin. [31:57] At sa huli, [31:59] babalik tayo [32:00] sa pinakasimple, [32:03] ngunit [32:03] pinakamabigat [32:04] na tanong [32:05] sa prosesong [32:07] ito. [32:09] Sa gitna [32:10] ng mga [32:11] paratang [32:12] laban sa [32:13] vice-presidente [32:14] at sa gitna [32:15] ng mga [32:16] ebidensya [32:17] karapat dapat [32:19] ba [32:19] siya [32:20] sa posisyon [32:21] niya? [32:23] Is she still [32:24] fit [32:24] in her [32:25] position [32:25] as vice-president [32:27] of the country? [32:30] Gaya ng [32:30] lagi nating [32:31] sinasabi, [32:32] wala tayong [32:33] papanigan, [32:35] kundi [32:35] ang tatotohanan. [32:37] Saan man tayo [32:38] dali ng [32:38] ebidensya, [32:40] doon tayo [32:40] susunod. [32:42] Gaano man [32:42] ito kalayo, [32:44] gaano man [32:44] ito kahirap, [32:46] doon tayo [32:47] pupunta. [32:48] Ang sabi ng [33:14] kampo ng [33:15] vice-presidente, [33:17] let us [33:18] be cautious, [33:20] mag-ingat [33:21] doubt tayo. [33:23] Ang sagot [33:24] natin, [33:26] let us [33:26] be truthful, [33:29] magpakatotoo [33:30] tayo. [33:32] With that, [33:34] maraming [33:34] salamat po. [33:35] We direct [33:37] the committee [33:38] secretary [33:39] to call [33:40] the case. [33:42] Thank you, [33:43] Madam Chair.

[41:35] On [41:36] a related [41:36] note, [41:37] same [41:37] day [41:38] last [41:38] week, [41:38] lumabas [41:39] ang [41:39] ICC [41:40] decision [41:40] tukol [41:41] sa [41:41] jurisdiction [41:42] sa [41:42] kaso [41:43] ni [41:43] former [41:43] president [41:43] Rodrigo [41:44] Duterte. [41:45] Kasabay [41:46] ito [41:46] ng [41:46] pagputok [41:47] ng [41:47] sworn [41:48] testimony [41:48] ni [41:49] former [41:49] senator [41:50] Trillanes [41:50] at [41:51] ng [41:51] reports [41:51] ng [41:52] AMLC. [41:53] Nagkumpirma [41:54] pa [41:54] sa [41:54] mga [41:55] questionable [41:55] impact [41:56] transactions [41:56] ng [41:57] mag-amang [41:58] Duterte. [41:59] Kung [42:00] sino [42:00] pa [42:00] talaga [42:00] ang [42:01] pasimuno [42:01] ng [42:02] drug [42:02] war, [42:03] sila [42:03] pa [42:03] talaga [42:04] ang [42:04] may [42:04] bilyong [42:05] bilyong [42:05] drug [42:06] money. [42:06] It [42:07] was [42:07] no [42:08] coincidence [42:08] that [42:09] these [42:09] developments [42:10] fell [42:11] on [42:11] the [42:11] same [42:11] day. [42:12] It [42:13] signaled [42:13] that [42:13] accountability [42:14] is [42:15] catching [42:15] up. [42:17] Simula [42:17] na ito [42:17] ng [42:18] paniningil [42:18] sa [42:19] mga [42:19] Duterte [42:19] at [42:20] hindi [42:20] ang [42:20] complaint [42:21] niya [42:21] to [42:21] ni [42:21] Mascarpio [42:22] at [42:23] kahit [42:23] ano [42:23] pang [42:23] legal [42:24] harassment [42:24] ang [42:25] makakapigil [42:26] sa [42:26] pagtiyak [42:27] natin [42:27] sa [42:27] pananagutan. [42:29] The [42:29] committee [42:29] will [42:30] never [42:30] bow [42:31] down [42:31] to [42:31] millionaires, [42:32] drug [42:33] syndicates [42:33] or [42:34] thieves. [42:35] Our [42:35] allegiance [42:35] only lies [42:36] with the [42:36] Constitution [42:37] and the [42:38] Filipino [42:39] people. [42:40] Again, [42:41] we will [42:41] not bow [42:42] down to [42:42] billionaires, [42:43] drug [42:44] syndicates [42:44] or thieves. [42:46] Gagawin [42:46] natin [42:46] ang ating [42:47] trabaho [42:47] at [42:48] pananagutin [42:48] ang [42:49] nang [42:49] abuso [42:49] sa [42:50] kapangirihan [42:50] at [42:51] nagnakaw [42:51] sa [42:51] kabanambayan. [42:52] Maraming [42:53] salamat, [42:53] Madam Chair. [42:54] All [42:54] the [42:55] manifestations [42:55] of [42:56] the [42:56] Honorable [42:56] Sendanya [42:57] is [42:57] noted [42:58] by [42:58] this [42:58] committee.

[43:04] Good [43:05] morning [43:05] to [43:05] everyone. [43:07] Nung [43:07] isang [43:07] araw [43:08] po [43:08] ay [43:08] kumalat [43:09] ang [43:09] balita [43:10] na [43:10] may [43:10] nagsampan [43:11] ng [43:11] kaso [43:11] laban [43:12] sa [43:12] akin, [43:13] laban [43:13] kay [43:13] Congresswoman [43:14] Laila [43:14] De [43:15] Lima, [43:15] kay [43:16] Congress [43:16] Person [43:17] Percy [43:17] Sendanya, [43:18] at [43:24] Anti-Money [43:25] Laundering [43:25] Act, [43:26] Bank [43:27] Secrecy [43:27] Law, [43:28] Data [43:29] Privacy [43:29] Act. [43:31] Of course, [43:31] kinikilala [43:32] po natin [43:32] kung sino [43:33] man [43:33] ay [43:33] pwedeng [43:34] maghain [43:34] ng kaso, [43:35] karapatan [43:36] naman [43:36] nila [43:36] yun. [43:37] Pero [43:37] kailangan [43:37] natin [43:38] bigyang [43:38] din [43:39] ito. [43:41] Ang [43:41] ginagawa [43:41] lang [43:41] po [43:42] namin, [43:42] ang [43:42] ginagawa [43:43] ng [43:43] buong [43:43] committee [43:44] ay [43:45] ang [43:45] aming [43:45] tungkulin [43:46] sa [43:46] ilalim [43:47] ng [43:47] Constitution.

[44:08] Yung [44:08] pong [44:08] pag-issue [44:09] natin [44:09] ng [44:09] sub-PINA [44:10] sa [44:11] Anti-Money [44:11] Laundering [44:12] Council [44:12] ay [44:13] mismong [44:14] nakabase [44:15] sa [44:15] rules of [44:16] impeachment [44:16] ng [44:17] House [44:17] of [44:17] Representatives [44:18] and I [44:19] quote, [44:19] the [44:19] committee [44:20] shall [44:20] have [44:20] the [44:21] power [44:21] to [44:21] issue [44:21] sub-PINA [44:22] and [44:23] sub-PINA [44:23] to [44:23] compel [44:25] the [44:25] attendance [44:26] of [44:26] witnesses [44:27] and the [44:27] production [44:27] of [44:28] documents [44:28] and [44:29] other [44:29] evidence. [44:32] At [44:32] Madam [44:32] Chair, [44:33] ayon [44:33] mismo [44:34] sa [44:34] ating [44:35] Korte [44:35] Suprema, [44:36] hindi [44:37] sakop [44:38] ng [44:38] Anti-Money [44:39] Laundering [44:39] Council [44:40] ang [44:41] mga [44:42] sinasabing [44:42] prohibisyon [44:43] from [44:44] disclosing [44:45] information. [44:46] And [44:46] if I [44:47] may [44:47] add, [44:49] no [44:49] member [44:49] of [44:49] the [44:50] committee [44:50] belongs [44:51] to [44:51] the [44:51] Anti-Money [44:52] Laundering [44:53] Council [44:53] and [44:53] no [44:54] bank [44:54] deposits [44:55] were [44:55] disclosed [44:56] during [44:56] the [44:57] hearings [44:57] here.

[45:06] Otherwise, [45:06] it [45:06] would [45:07] contravene [45:07] its [45:08] direct [45:08] mandate [45:08] under [45:09] Section [45:09] 7 [45:10] of [45:11] the [45:11] Anti-Money [45:11] Laundering [45:12] Act. [45:13] Kaya po, [45:14] Madam [45:14] Chair, [45:15] I think [45:15] it's [45:15] pretty [45:15] clear [45:16] na [45:16] itong [45:17] pagsasampa [45:18] ng [45:18] reklamo [45:19] laban [45:19] sa [45:19] atin [45:20] ay [45:20] isang [45:20] diversionary [45:22] tactic.

motion to [1:17:36] open the [1:17:37] BIR [1:17:38] sealed box [1:17:39] I believe [1:17:39] transparency [1:17:40] and justice [1:17:41] must be [1:17:43] fair [1:17:43] Commissioner [1:17:44] Mendoza [1:17:45] himself placed [1:17:46] on the [1:17:46] record the [1:17:46] operative [1:17:47] parameters [1:17:48] under which [1:17:49] the Bureau [1:17:49] may produce [1:17:50] the taxpayer [1:17:51] returns [1:17:51] that the Bureau [1:17:52] is authorized [1:17:53] to furnish [1:17:54] returns upon [1:17:55] the request [1:17:55] of Congress [1:17:56] and in [1:17:57] aid of [1:17:57]

by [1:18:11] section [1:18:11] 71 [1:18:12] in relation [1:18:12] to section [1:18:13] 270 [1:18:14] of the [1:18:15] National [1:18:15] Internal [1:18:16] Revenue Code [1:18:17] or RA [1:18:18] 8424 [1:18:19] that is the [1:18:20] framework [1:18:21] that the [1:18:22] Commissioner [1:18:22] brought before [1:18:22] this committee [1:18:23] the 21-4 [1:18:25] deferral [1:18:26] met that [1:18:26] framework [1:18:27] nothing on [1:18:28] the record [1:18:28] has since [1:18:29] displaced [1:18:29] it [1:18:30] we must [1:18:31] be wary [1:18:31] of the [1:18:32] precedent [1:18:32] that we [1:18:33] set [1:18:33] in [1:18:34] this [1:18:34] impeachment [1:18:35] proceeding [1:18:35] however [1:18:36] should [1:18:37] the [1:18:37] impeachment [1:18:38] proceed [1:18:38] to [1:18:39] trial [1:18:39] in [1:18:40] the [1:18:40] Senate [1:18:40] I [1:18:41] believe [1:18:41] they [1:18:41] will [1:18:41] do [1:18:41] the [1:18:42] right [1:18:42] thing [1:18:42] and [1:18:42] further

[1:18:48] House [1:18:48] and the [1:18:49] Senate [1:18:49] this [1:18:50] matter [1:18:50] should [1:18:50] be [1:18:51] discussed [1:18:51] when [1:18:51] the [1:18:52] time [1:18:52] is [1:18:52]

[1:18:57] we [1:18:57] have [1:18:58] sufficient [1:18:59] evidence [1:18:59] the [1:19:01] AMLOC [1:19:01] reports [1:19:02] referencing [1:19:02] 6.77 [1:19:04] billion [1:19:04] in [1:19:05]

[2:41:36] the attached [2:41:36] articles is [2:41:38] that if you [2:41:38] look at the [2:41:39] record of the [2:41:40] commission on [2:41:40] audit the [2:41:41] first 125 [2:41:42] million pesos [2:41:44] given to the [2:41:45] vice president [2:41:46] in 2022 [2:41:47] only [2:41:49] 73 million [2:41:50] pesos of the [2:41:51] 125 million [2:41:52] was disallowed [2:41:53] and that was

[2:42:03] may be able [2:42:04] to prove [2:42:05] that there [2:42:05] was amassing [2:42:06] and converting [2:42:07] of around [2:42:07] 435 million [2:42:10] if my [2:42:10] addition is [2:42:11] correct [2:42:11] but it [2:42:12] may not [2:42:12] reach the [2:42:13] amount of [2:42:14] 500 million [2:42:15] so to [2:42:16] avoid any [2:42:17] technicalities [2:42:18] later that [2:42:19] there may be [2:42:19] objections that [2:42:20] we did not [2:42:21] prove not [2:42:21] less than [2:42:22] 500 million [2:42:23] i move that [2:42:25] we simply [2:42:26] adopt what [2:42:27] the

forming [3:22:59] the [3:23:00] grounds [3:23:00] of [3:23:00] impeachment [3:23:01] and [3:23:01] the [3:23:02] bigger [3:23:02] reason [3:23:02] is [3:23:02] political [3:23:03] which [3:23:04] is [3:23:04] that [3:23:04] it [3:23:05] is [3:23:05] being [3:23:05] used [3:23:06] unfairly [3:23:08] and [3:23:08] unjustly [3:23:09] to [3:23:10] critics [3:23:11] and [3:23:11] activists [3:23:12] as [3:23:13] the [3:23:13] Philippine [3:23:14] law [3:23:14] broadly [3:23:14] defines [3:23:15] the [3:23:15] crime [3:23:16] as [3:23:16] any [3:23:16] speech [3:23:17] in [3:23:17] any [3:23:17] form [3:23:17] that [3:23:18] generates [3:23:18] hate [3:23:19] against [3:23:20] government [3:23:20] or any [3:23:21] of its [3:23:21] officers [3:23:22] there [3:23:22] have [3:23:23] been [3:23:23] instances [3:23:23] in [3:23:24] previous [3:23:25] cases [3:23:28] where [3:23:28] inciting [3:23:29] to [3:23:29] sedition [3:23:29] was [3:23:29] used [3:23:30] where [3:23:31] it [3:23:31] is [3:23:32] said [3:23:33] that [3:23:34] if it [3:23:35] arouses [3:23:36] among its [3:23:36] viewers [3:23:36] a sense [3:23:37] of [3:23:37] dissatisfaction [3:23:38] against [3:23:38]

[3:23:44] already [3:23:45] inciting [3:23:45] to [3:23:45] sedition [3:23:46] and [3:23:46] this [3:23:47] is [3:23:47] why [3:23:47] Madam [3:23:47] Chair [3:23:48] I [3:23:48] have [3:23:49]
