Ayan na! Ayan na! Mga kameta, nasaan na tayo? Nandito ba ako? Nandyan ba ako?

Nasaan na ba ang politika natin mga kameta? Kamusta kayo dyan? Pag-usapan natin ang latest na pangyayari sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni Junior, ni Marcos Ferdinand Rumualdez.

Marcos Junior. At of course in that context mga kameta, pag-usapan natin ito. Mga kameta, mga pag-usapan natin ito.

Ito na! This is it! Ito ang yung mamamala. Ito yung mga sinasabing natin last year pa. Ito yung mga sinasabing natin bago nung elections pa.

Walang permanent friends, walang permanent enemies, minsan even walang permanent interest magdating sa Pilipinas.

Ganon talaga yung mga kameta.

So, ito na! Si President Marcos Junior, Ferdinand Rumualdez Marcos Junior, seems to be getting into action ahead of his second SONA.

In light of the fact na mukhang nagsispiral itong Arroyo situation sa Kongreso.

So since the demotion of former Senior Deputy Speaker of the House and former President Arroyo, since yung demotion niya the other month,

mukhang may ripple effects ito at hindi lang nag-resign ang ating Vice President and Education Secretary diyan sa Lakasim Di Party ng ruling coalition diyan sa Kongreso

and by extension the ruling coalition in the country.

But mukhang medyo nagiging next level na yung mga back and forth between Sar Duterte and the supporters of the current Speaker of the House, Erum Waldez

who's a direct cousin, first cousin of current President Ferdinand Rumualdez Marcos Junior.

Pag-usapan natin yan mga kameta because this is it. This is it.

By the way, pag-usapan din natin katulad ng pangako natin kahapon mga kameta.

Pag-usapan din natin later on itong latest developments dun sa mga what many I believe are politically charged cases against former Senator Leyla Dalima.

Pag-usapan din natin later on yan. Let's look at some of the updates, prospectus and what does that say about the state of our politika dito sa Pilipinas.

Balikan natin mga kameta.

Let's first go to the latest...

Ba't ako nawala?

The latest, hindi naman barda gulan, but the latest plot twists dito sa Philippine politics.

Yan. Yun na. Buya ka siya.

That's it.

Ito na.

So, ano na.

Alright. So, may statement si Sarah Duterte the other month

kung saan kinikwestion niya ang contribution ni Romualdez doon sa pagbuo ng unit team last year

which essentially sealed the deal against the opposition.

As I always said, Lenny Robredo was not against one but actually two major political houses in the Philippines.

Now, you know, for the less informed, si Angaza pa pangalan, yung mga ganyan type.

Yung mga clout chaser, influencer, blogger na walang alam sa politika.

Para sa kanila si Arroyo talaga yung ano, let's just say it, the lord of Philippine politics.

Yung mga ganyan drama.

But actually for a lot of us who are well-informed and we also said that in our vlogs before,

mga kamay, you can check it.

Last year pa lang sinasabi natin yan.

More than last year actually. Late 2021 pa lang sinasabi natin.

Actually, there were other figures who played a very crucial role dito sa pagbuo ng unit team.

At ito, of course, is Martin Romualdez.

More or less, tapos ng usapan once Sarah and Bongbong were there diyan sa Cebu.

And Martin Romualdez was really the force behind bringing these two houses together.

And also, you know, in a way he got rewarded for that by getting the Speaker of the House position later on.

Not going to Arroyo, but going to Martin Romualdez.

Since Martin Romualdez becoming the Speaker of the House, he has been literally and figuratively the right hand of the President,

accompanying him to one trip after the other.

He has been the centerpiece or kind of the linchpin ng ruling coalition.

And he has also been one of the major forces behind the Maharlika Investment Fund.

So, we have to keep all of these things in mind, mga kamayta.

And yet, you have a situation here whereby suddenly Sarah Duterte is saying,

No, ano sinasabi niya? Wala naman ano eh.

So, ayon dito sa statement na nakita natin na wala daw.

Wala naman daw contribution dun sa unit team na yan.

Actually, si Aimee Marcos.

Ayan. Biglang nandun na si Aimee Marcos.

Si Aimee Marcos talagang nang-contribute diyan.

So, yun yung contention, mga kamayta, ngayon ng camp ni Sarah Duterte.

Because, well, it looks like the relationship between the two sides is not really at best.

So, suddenly you're seeing this situation whereby the Vice President is saying,

No, no, no. Wala kang utang na love diyan. Wala silang contribution diyan.

Ipopost ko sa baba later on a video whereby the Vice President seemed to be

thanking Romualdo. This is the other year pa.

For helping to contribute to the unit team so you can judge for yourself.

But the position of Sarah Duterte right now is suddenly this.

Wala naman daw contribution masyado.

At actually the important nudge was from her good friend and presidential sister

and current Senator Aimee Marcos.

So, it's very, very interesting.

Suddenly, may revision dun sa conventional understanding of the events.

So, ito. I think sinabi niya.

Speaker Martin Romualdo had absolutely nothing to do with my decision.

Wow! Next level.

To run for Vice President. To say that he, quote,

tremendously helped me in pushing for, unquote, my vice presidential bid is acutely inaccurate.

Like, wow! Ibang level lang ano natin diyan.

A prose natin, acutely inaccurate.

An insult to thousands of groups and individuals who insistently implored me

to reconsider an earlier decision not to join national politics.

Ayan sa kanya, ang decisive factor was Aimee Marcos.

Who, quote, persuaded her to run as Vice President.

It was a decision sealed only after President Bomo Marcos agreed to the conditions

I said before running for VP.

Which raises the question, what were these conditions after all?

And, whether they feel that these conditions are being met as things stand.

I mean, first of all, she did not get the defense secretary position

that her camp was insisting for quite some time.

But, ito. So, ito na. Ito na.

So, in a statement Wednesday on the Simmering House Discord,

isa sa mga supporters ng current House Speakership.

Barzaga, no?

Came to the defense of Romaldes and said that the House quote

never said the bad thing about the Vice President

despite being the obvious subject of her vicious insinuations

following the alleged attempt to oust him.

Like, wow! Drama!

Drama, drama!

Next level!

The Speaker held his horses and remained focused on his job

as the leader of the House of Representatives.

Amid this political rift, he never fired back with insults of his own.

So, on Monday, June 5, Duterte deliberately skipped

mentioning President's middle name.

Yun! That's it!

So, kung dati Rodrigo Rua Duterte, biglang naging wala na yung Ruas.

Parang ganun nangyari.

Hindi na siya Ferdinand Romaldes Marcos.

Naging Ferdinand Marcos na lang siya.

As she acknowledged, she exhibited during her speech

at the Pasidonggog, an event to pay tribute

to the office of the Vice President's stakeholders.

Okay. Pasidonggog.

Okay. I hope I got that right.

Anyway.

Duterte said, without explaining her action,

hindi ko na banggitin ang middle initial niya.

Apo, alam mo yan na mahal kita.

Okay.

Well, nevertheless, ang sabi niya,

stable and strong pa naman daw ang administration.

It has my all-out support

and support of the majority of the Filipino people.

Pero, of course, nag-resign siya sa Lakas CMD earlier

at doon pinag-usapan niya,

or naglalament siya sa political toxicity,

political power play.

Yan. Yung mga ganyan-ganyan.

Ganun!

Doon naman ang response ni Duterte sa Barzaga statement.

A person who cannot distinguish between attack and humor

has no place in politics.

Ayan na naman tayo.

Mga ano?

Mga context.

Kaya hindi niyo get in context

ang sinabi ni Tatay.

Diba? Yung mga ganyan.

Especially one fails to understand

that political bickering is just a facet of democracy

and should not be used to equate with governance.

Like, wow.

Profound.

On the one hand,

how the recent political developments

have become an opportunity for Saigon

is quite amusing.

What I found interesting is like there's on the one hand,

pero wala na on the other hand.

Usually, if you say on the one hand,

meron kang lalagay na sa kabila rin, diba?

Sa kabilang banda.

But parang wala akong nakita sa statement.

Anyways, never mind.

Mamay na tayo mag-editorial advice

dito sa mga statements na lumalabas

sa mga top officials natin.

All right.

Mga kameta, kamusta naman kayo diyan?

So eto, eto, eto, eto.

Ating mahal na pangulo.

Ferdinand Rumwaldith Marcos Jr.

So mukhang may effort to bring folks together.

Together forever.

Again, lahat ng sinasabi natin dito,

Indian Maritess.

Ating nasa news.

Basahin niyo on your own.

I'm showing it to you, the title.

You can check it yourself, mga kameta.

Hindi ko na alam dyan yung mga banat-banat style

ng Maritess style.

Bahala kayo dyan.

By the way, anong latest kay Maharlika?

Ayan na.

Okay, eto, eto, eto.

Several members of the House of Representatives

of the Russian show their support

for House Speaker Martin Rumwaldith

amid remarks from Vice President Sara Duterte

who said the Speaker had nothing to do

with her decision to seek the Vice President

in the 2020 elections.

Are you with me?

Okay.

Anyway.

Okay.

So isa dyan sa mga support.

Santa Rosa City District Representative

Dan Fernandez said on Thursday

that Duterte and the House all support

for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

could be stronger without any squabbles.

Purong...

Ang hilig siya mga all-out talaga.

All-out na naman.

Parang all-TV.

Sana all-TV.

Okay.

Eto, eto.

This all-out support for our President, however,

can be better fleshed out

if it is devoid of political bickering.

Like, wow.

Dami nangyara d'yo na.

We appeal to Vice President Inday Sara

who ran and won in the platform

espousing unity

to join the President

in translating this call for unity

into action.

While not explicitly alluding

to Duterte,

House Majority Leader Representative

Manuel Jose Dalipe

on Thursday said that

ang paprioritize nila

yung Legislative Executive Development

Advisory Council,

led that bill

rather than any political discussion

kasi mga komenta maraming pang mga

bills coming from the top,

bills coming from the bottom.

They have to put it together.

Malapit ng SONA.

Apat, lima, six.

Half a dozen at most parang

dun sa 40 plus priorities ni

Bombo Marcos ang napasa.

So, catch up time.

Ayon kay Dalipe.

Tama, Dalipe, right?

The House of Representatives

will not be slowed down

by premature partisanship.

Wow. Premature talaga.

All these political rumblings

are unnecessary distractions

that only break our momentum

ensuring the swift passage

of the President's priority measures

that were approved by LEDA.

We have a commitment

to the Filipino people.

Maraming pala dito.

Cavite representative, of course,

Elpidio Barzaga.

Of course, very clear siya

dito sa kanyang stance

na the Speaker

held his horses

and remained focused on his job

as a leader of the House of Representatives.

He never fired back

with an insult of his own

that shows strength of character.

Yan.

So, kung mayman nagsabi ng...

Oh, yan na. May nagagalit na dyan.

May nagasabi ng ano.

Tawag doon.

Magsabi ng...

Ano?

Toxic, toxic.

Instead, sabi naman na,

well, anong toxic?

Is your mould is not super nice?

Wala naman syang sinabi.

Walang inahaway.

O, diba parang si BBM.

Alright.

Ganun talaga mga kameta.

Ganun talaga mga kameta.

Yan na.

Nareklamo na rin

yung mga followers natin dyan.

Dami reklamo.

No, no, no.

Okay lang. Okay lang.

Ayan na. Tinanggal ko na.

Nasaan na ba yung isa?

Sige na nga.

Tinanggal ko ng Jack.

Yung pang ano?

Yung converter na wala ako

kasi yun sa Vietnam tayo.

Sobrang delayed and all.

But, anyways, thank you very much

sa Philippine Airlines.

Our good friends.

Very good people.

Alright.

Anyway,

Whoo!

So,

what are we looking at here

mga kameta?

Are we looking at

drama?

Are we looking at

the major political shift?

Are we looking at like,

ah, expected na yan?

Ganun talaga?

Sila-sila na lang

ang nandyan.

Wala naman na opposition talaga.

At sino bang opposition?

Isa lang na lang yung opposition sa Senate.

Ilan-ilan na lang dyan.

So,

sinasabi natin baka

this is just part of it.

But, katulad ng sinabi natin

mga kameta,

for quite some time,

katulad ng sinabi...

Oo na. Tinanggal ko na.

Mangmaya. Ayusin natin yan.

Ah, katulad ng sinabi natin

for quite some time, mga kameta,

eto, eto ah.

Nasaan na ba yung isa?

Dami nareklamo dito sa YouTube.

Ayusin natin.

Hindi, kapon. Okay naman.

Wala naman reklamo.

Ayan. Okay.

Mamaya ayusin natin.

Ah.

Ganito.

My read is that,

despite all of this,

regardless how it turns out,

Marcus Junior

is gonna retain a...

quite a powerful team together.

Rumaldez has

a lot of LGU support behind him,

including many in Mindanao

and Davao who defected to Lakas CMD.

PDB Laban Party,

some of them aligned to the former president,

actually have been incorporated

into senior leadership,

including one of them

who replaced

Arroyo

as a senior Deputy Speaker

of the House.

And then you have

independent, powerful forces.

I would call them the third pole

in Philippine politics,

the Tulfos.

You have Senator Rafi Tulfo,

of course, a big star there.

Presidential, clearly, as early as now.

And then you have the Tulfo brothers

and relatives,

extended to Congress.

They're very much, I think,

comfortable with the current president's

state of play.

And then, mga kamay,

they also have a very interesting situation.

Pansin nyo,

may mga iba dyan dati na

very liberal party,

very opposition,

very, very,

and then ngayon,

parang super tahimik

dun sa Maharlika Investment Fund.

Yun yung sinasabi ko, e.

Yun yung sinasabi ko, e.

Dun sa mga, ano,

dun sa mga syunga

na gusto mag-cancel sa atin,

excuse me,

on a case-to-case basis,

I make my stance very clear.

Hindi tayo katulad ng mga partisan,

toxic,

you know,

hindi nag-iisip na tao there.

You know,

so on foreign policy,

I clearly felt,

you know, we're moving

in the right direction,

not perfect.

There are risks, etc.

But, on the Maharlika Investment Fund,

I have my own concerns

and I've been very vocal about it.

Biglang nangyari dito mga commenters,

yung mga iba dyan

nagpa-opposition, opposition,

alam nyo na sino mga yan,

biglang

realignment people!

Yan!

Realignments!

Biglang,

parang walang sinasabi masyado.

Parang tahimik.

Sobrang tahimik dito sa

sa investment fund.

Maharlika Investment Fund

among some other issues and concerns.

No?

So, it looks like

a section of the liberal opposition

has already also defected

to the ruling bloc and coalitions.

So, you have them,

you have Tulfos,

you have many LGUs,

you have Rumual,

the CES.

I don't know.

It looks like Bommo Marcos

is strong enough

to be able to withstand

any potential,

I don't know,

counter-maneuvers,

Ntawag Diyan,

Powerpuff Girls,

whatever.

Alam nyo na yan, diba?

So, that's my,

that's one way of looking at it.

No?

But this is where

we want to go to the

next topic

and next discussion,

mga kamay-ta.

And that's

the issue of Leyla de Lima

because

okay, I understand

some of the supposed opposition

or opposition before

are selling nice now

to Bommo Marcos

and not saying anything bad.

But,

my understanding was

that was contingent

on some of the good reforms

also domestically,

hindi lang internationally.

No?

Hindi lang dahil beshi na tayo

ng US ulit.

Ano na?

Beshi na

sila dapat ng Marcos kaagad.

But the idea was,

diba,

that you're expecting

some big moves

in the right direction.

At kasama dyan, mga kamay-ta,

is

yung paglaya

ni Senator de Lima.

But just when we thought

the momentum was

in the right direction,

things hit a snag.

At yan ang pag-usapan natin

in our next episode.

Okay.

Which will be, of course, now.

Let's go there.

So, may mga updates tayo

on the case of Senator Leila de Lima.

Pag-usapan natin ito.

And this is where

suddenly,

we're wondering

what's gonna happen here

because

there are many versions of this.

So, mga kaibigan,

it looks like, unfortunately,

the momentum...

Mga kamay-ta, it looks like, unfortunately,
