00:00Hihingi lang po ng comment kasi po binubuhay na naman po yung narrative na ang inuuna na naman ang house
00:06ay yung impeachment imbis na yung tulungan yung mga biktima ng Lindol.
00:13Kahit na nasa gitna na kami ng paghahanda sa impeachment trial, hindi nalalayo sa aming kaisipan at kalaoban ang mga
00:24nangyari at mga nasa lanta ng Lindol sa Mindanao.
00:28Actually, nung palang nangyari yun, nagsama-sama na yung mga miyembro ng house, we have already begun a donation and
00:38relief efforts and there have been over a hundred members of the house who have already pledged support, some of
00:46them even their own personal resources to help the victims of the earthquake disaster.
00:52Under the leadership of Speaker Bo GD, nagsasama-sama po ang mga miyembro ng house of representatives.
01:00Ang impeachment ay isang tungkulin namin sa ilalim ng konstitusyon, pero yung tulungan natin ang mga nasa lanta nitong Lindol
01:11ay isang humanitarian duty at duty din namin ito bilang mamamayang Pilipino.
01:17Hindi namin kinakalimutan yun that is also at the forefront of our minds and our hearts and we are doing
01:25everything we can to make sure that those efforts will reach the affected families and communities.
01:34Mabanggit ko lang po, no, that we have, aside from yun nabanggit ko, that over a hundred members have already
01:42contributed to the relief drive,
01:45that is on top of the individual efforts being done by many of our house members to extend assistance through
01:53their own districts, local government partners, and constituents.
01:57At yun na nga, tulad nang nasabi ko kanina, there have also been pledges from many members of the house
02:03using their own personal resources to help our brothers and sisters in Mindanao.
02:11Tuloy-tuloy po yung aming paglilingkod, while we are in the middle of preparing for this constitutional trial,
02:19we are also not forgetting our duties to legislate, and of course our duties to provide as much assistance and
02:28support as we can to those who were affected by the earthquake.
02:36Kongchel, ulitin ko lang yung question ko, ha, nabanggit niyo po kanina sa question po ni Billy,
02:42na meron pong nalilikom na rin ang more than 100 congressmen para po sa pagtulong sa mga bigtima ng lindol
02:51sa Mindanao.
02:52Meron na po bang kung magkano po ang halaga dito po sa House of Representatives?
02:59Hindi ko po kabisado yung halaga, pero I can report to you kung ilan ng mga members of the House
03:05who have pledged support.
03:08Hanapin ko lang po sa aking phone.
03:12Ayan, so far 139 lawmakers, a total of 9.29 million.
03:20At kasama po doon ang mga public prosecutors na humaharap sa inyo at mga kasamaan pa namin who are not
03:28here this morning.
03:29That only shows na hindi po nakakaligtaan sa kabila ng aming tough preparation for the impeachment trial.
03:40Hindi po nakakalimot ang 11 prosecutors, most especially, sa kanila pong tungkulin para sa ating mga kababayan,
03:48most especially our beloved countrymen na biktima ng lindol sa Mindanao.
03:53Maraming salamat po.
03:59Maraming salamat po.
