Alright yan magandang araw mga kapatid natin at welcome sa isa namang live stream

Ang dami mo nagtatanong sakin dito

Atty. ano ba yung nangyari sa Comelec?

Sino ba yung si Bautista at ano ba yung Smartmatic? Ano ba yung issue dyan?

Yun ang tanong nila sakin

Kasi nga bakit biglang uminit na naman e wala naman na itong si Atty. Andres o Andy Bautista

So ipapaliwanag ko sa inyo kasi alam nyo itong nangyari dito medyo aware ako

At sinusubaybayan namin ni Atty. Magalong kasi itong si Atty. Andy Bautista o Andres Bautista

e teacher niya sa Ateneo Law School

Ito kasing si Atty. Andy Bautista mga kapatid natin siya rin ay naging PCGG

Siya rin ay nag-head sa PCGG

Tapos bakit itong Comelec issue lumabas rin siya kasi naging chairman din siya ng Comelec

Siya rin sa Comelec din

Tapos bakit Smartmatic?

Kasi nga itong si Andy Bautista mga kapatid natin noong panahon niya

Noong siya ay yung head ng Comelec doon nagkaroon ng automated elections

o nag-transform into an automated election at doon na procure yung Smartmatic o services ng Smartmatic

Isa pang bakit dito mga kapatid natin, isa pang fact dito, hindi naman fact siguro, isang balita na lang

Isang balita, umingay din yung pangalan po nitong si Atty. Andy Bautista noong panahon na yung kanyang asawa ay nagpa-medya

Linabas lahat ng mga assets nila na di umano nakaw o kaya iligal, depende ng ano yung nandu doon

Meron siya picture, nilabas niya lahat doon

Tapos pinakita niya na ito, ito yung ginagawaan ng asawa ko

Mayroong mga bank accounts, may mga pera, may mga kung ano-ano siyang linabas

Yun yung ginawa noong asawa niya mismo

Kaya naging matunog ng panunog ang pangalan nitong si Andy Bautista

Ngayon bakit lumabas na naman mga kapatid natin?

Bakit lumabas na naman? Kasi dito, commission on elections

Chair George Garcia on Friday said it was premature to bar Paul Technology Company, Smartmatic, from the bidding to provide the automated election system in 2025 polls amid allegations that the company bribed one of his predecessors

Ano ngayon ng aligasyon? Talagang pinuputakti din. Anong aligasyon nila ngayon?

Bukod sa mayroong aligasyon noon, mayroong aligasyon ngayon ng bribery

Kasi nga sabi, brinibed nitong Smartmatic itong si Atty. Andy Bautista para makuha nila yung proyekto doon sa automated election system

Hindi lang yan mga kapatid natin. Ang nangyari pa dito, sinasabi nila na may money laundering na nangyari

Ito, tuloy natin muna dito. Garcia was referring to reports that former Comelec Chair Andy Bautista had been charged with money laundering and conspiracy by the US Department of Homeland Security in connection with the bribe he allegedly received from a Paul Automation Company which was not identified in the 2016 national elections

So ngayon mga kapatid natin, nagkaso yung US, yung Department of Homeland Security dahil meron daw money laundering

Ano ang money laundering? Ang money laundering mga kapatid natin, by the term itself, ay yung paghuhugas ng pera

Paano mabahuhugasan ang pera? Ang paghuhugas ng pera ay ginagawa sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalabas na yung pera na galing sa isang masamang paraan o hindi may ipaliwanag na paraan ay mukhang lehiti mo

Ano yung mga pinakakomon na ways na nagkakaroon ng money laundering? Yung mga kabatas natin nagkakaroon ng fake o kaya fictitious transactions between companies or individuals

Katulad ng ano, kunwari nag-avail, alam nyo ang nangyayari dyan, magtatayo ng kumpanya tapos yung kumpanya na ito, kunwari may project tapos may mag-avail na kumpanya rin ng services ng kumpanya na yon

So itong nag-avail na kumpanya, babayaran niya ngayon yung kumpanya na nagbigay ng serbisyo. Ngayon siyempre pag iti-traceback mo, lalabas na binayad yung pera sa isang serbisyo ng isang kumpanya samantalang hindi naman

Kung may fictitious yung transaction, pwedeng lehiti mo yung mga negosyo. Pero yung mga negosyo, most of them, hindi naman kumikita ng ganoon kalaki

Ito, ito, si Faggy Nation. 3-0 Fake News Blogger. Ito, tanungin mo kay Fiscal EJ kung nasaan sa Bangayan Case yung sinabi na it only refers to minors. To minors 12 and below 18 yung age of sexual consent kasi wala kaming mahanap.

Ngayon, balikan mo siya. Kasi alam ko yung 3-0 na yan, sa akin yan. That's me. That's mine. Pero yung Fake News Blogger, tanungin mo muna siya. Tanungin mo muna siya kung saan galing yun.

Sige pa, mag-3-0 pa kayo dyan. Mayroon pa akong pwedeng sabihin. Ito sabi niya, ang strict na procurement law nagagawa ng parahan paano na lang kaya kung tanggalin ang procurement law. Well sa tingin ko ang kailangan dyan baguhin yung mga tao na nandoon.

Kasi ang gaganda nga ng mga batas na rin natin. Pati yung procurement law natin, okay na yun. Ang problema kasi talaga, we are electing the wrong people.

Ito, we will closely monitor this development, especially the nature and weight of evidence to be presented in court, he added. But at this point, the presumption of innocence stands. Totoo nga naman yun.

May tanong kasi dito mga kapatas natin. Yung ebidensya sa Homeland Security, pwede ba gamitin dito sa Pilipinas? Of course pwede. Ang kailangan mo lang naman, i-prove yung authenticity at due execution ng ebidensya na yun.

Ngayon kung makakahanap sila ng ebidensya sa Amerika ng money laundering, it can be used here. Of course. Pero siyempre tama rin ito, the presumption of innocence stands. Ngayon ang daming nagtatanong mga kapatas natin, nasaan ba itong si Andy Bautista? Hindi ko rin alam. Alam niyo ba?

Ang huli kasi, tulad ng sinabi ko nasusubaybayan namin yan noon, ang alam ko nasa Amerika siya. Pero I'm not sure. Pero kapag nasa Amerika siya, paano na siya makakatakas kung nandoon na? Kasi pag na-file ka ng kaso, most likely hindi na siya makakaalis doon.

Sabi niyang ganyan, the Paul Technology Company was named in the news story first reported locally by Rappler on Tuesday based on a report on Wednesday by MLEX, an independent news service focused on identifying regulatory risk for business.

Ito mga kapatas natin, look at the figures here. Citing the MLEX report, Rappler said,

199 million, akala niyo peso, hindi dollars. Isipin niyo mga kapatas natin, 199 million dollars, ilang bilyong pesos yan? Ayoko na magcompute, nagkakamali ako pag nagcompute ako.

199 million dollars, ilang pesos yan? Tapos kung magbabribe ka, kung kasakali man, we are not assuming na nagbribe siya. Pero isipin mo na lang yung mga style na bribery na yan, porsya-porsyento yan.

It ranges from 10-30%. Yung mga award-award ng projects na yan. Alam kong 10-30% kasi nga, alam ko na marami na akong nakilalang tao na nagbabribe din na lumapit kay mayor.

10-30% yung nakukuha nila dyan. 11.3 billion, oh my goodness. Ilan ng 10% yan kahit 10% lang? Oh my goodness. That's a lot of money.

Sabi niya ganyan, ito yung sinasabi ko sa inyo, the Department of Homeland Security Investigations Unit initiated the probe after Bautista's estranged wife Patricia Paz Bautista, tip of the National Bureau of Investigation about her husband, supposed ill-gotten wealth.

Sabi niya, the report noted that the unnamed company's executives laundered money through US accounts and made use of various overseas bank accounts of its Taiwan-based vendor to operationalize the bribery scheme.

Sa sobrang laki, kailangan may scheme.

Totoo naman. Ngayon mga kabatas natin, bilang isang mabubuting mamamayan, we still should believe in the regularity of actions of government officers if they are performing there.

So siyempre, nakasal sa kanila yung perception of regularity at saka yung innocence until proven guilty.

Sabi nila, yung Smartmatic daw, it vowed to cooperate in the investigation noting that being dragged into the case had nothing to do with election security or integrity. Yan ang problema dyan.

Siyempre, mayroon nang iisipin yung mga tao.

Sabi niya ganyan, in every bidding process and procurement procedures, Smartmatic has adhered to the Philippine procurement law and the strict controls that the Comelec imposes.

Ngayon, nag-tweet itong si Atty. Bautista. Sabi niya, he was surprised to learn about the criminal charges against him.

Tapos, but let me be very clear, I did not ask for nor receive any bribe money from Smartmatic or any other entity.

Alam niya, ang problema pa kasi dito mga kabatas natin, yung fact na yung Amerika, yung nagkaso mismo, yun ang mabigat.

Yun ang mabigat dyan. Kasi siyempre, parang disinterested party itong Amerika dito.

So kung may nakita silang money laundering, parang yun lang yung gusto nilang tignan.

Bakit ba hindi maganda rin kapag nagkakaroon ng money laundering sa ibang bansa? Bakit hindi maganda?

Kasi lalo na pag malalaki ng mga amounts mga kabatas natin, it has economic implications din.

I'm ready to reply, sabi niya naman, respond to the proper forum, sabi naman ni Andi Bautista.

Wala siyang kaso dito. May kaso ba si Andi Bautista dito?

He led the poll body for 2 years before he was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of amassing alleged ill-gotten wealth and receiving referral fees from Smartmatic.

But he stepped down in October 2017 after much prayer and discernment before he was to be tried by the Senate.

Alam niyo kasi mga kabatas natin, yung pagiging chairman ng Comelec, that is an impeachable position.

Kailangan impeachment lang yan bago ka matanggal. Bakit? Because the Comelec is one of our constitutional commissions.

Tapos ngayon syempre, under fire na of course yung Smartmatic.

Anyway, yun lang. Sana mga kabatas natin ma-sort out dito.

Kasi after all, yung elections natin, mga kabatas natin, it must be very clean.

Dapat sanctified yan. Dapat ma-maintain na may tiwala yung mga tao sa elections natin kasi nga we are electing our leaders there.

And if we are electing our leaders, of course it means they will be steering the whole country sana towards prosperity.

Yan lang. Maraming salamat po. Siyempre, tulad ng laging sinasabi, matulog po tayo ng mahimbing dahil alam natin na yung natutulog ng mahimbing, siya yung lagi yung panalo.

Paalam po. Pan-samantab.
