00:00The lifestyle check the President has ordered in all government officials entails disclosure of their statements of assets, liabilities, and net worth, or SAO-N.
00:09This is a directive which covers himself, which he vows to follow through on, as our Kenneth Paschenta reports.
00:17President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is ready to undergo a lifestyle check.
00:22That was emphasized by the Palace after the President issued a directive to government officials amid the issue of the flood control projects.
00:30Malacanang said the President's directive will spare no one, which is why even the President himself will not hesitate to undergo the process.
00:37Sinabi po natin na ang Pangulo, ang buong ehekotibo, ay ready for lifestyle check.
00:43So huwag po tayong lumayo sa issue. Ang issue po ngayon ay tuligsain at habulin ang mga involved sa flood control projects.
00:53So huwag po natin ibahin at huwag tayong medyo mamulitika patungkol dito.
00:57Malacanang also assured the President's willingness and cooperation to make public his statement of assets and liabilities or SAO-N if necessary.
01:05This was the Palace's response to a senator's challenge for the President's SAO-N full disclosure.
01:10Kaya nga po ready po lahat. So kasama po yung SAO-N. So is the President willing to show his SAO-N?
01:17Kasama po sa lifestyle check. Pagka po nagkaroon lifestyle check, mauna, mahuli man ang Pangulo, kasama po yan.
01:22So willing po si Presidente to show if necessary.
01:26Kung kinakailangan nga po, sabi nga po natin, ulitin natin, lahat ng membro ng ehekotibo ready for a lifestyle check.
01:34The SAO-N is a document submitted by all government employees and officials.
01:38It contains their assets such as houses, land, vehicles, businesses and other properties,
01:44liabilities such as loans and mortgages, and net worth which is computed by subtracting liabilities from assets.
01:51The purpose of the SAO-N is to ensure transparency and accountability of government officials.
01:55Meanwhile, the President strongly condemned the shooting of a contractor in Negros Oriental
02:00and stressed the incident must be thoroughly investigated.
02:04At the same time, he assured no harassment on anyone involved in anomalous flood control projects.
02:08Alam naman natin kung ano ang nais ng Pangulo, makasuhan ang dapat makasuhan, mapanagot ang dapat na mapanagot.
02:18At ipag-uutos pa rin ng Pangulo na dapat na seryosohin ito, lalo na ng mga PNP,
02:24para maiwasan kung ano mang krimen ang maidudulot nito kaugnay sa pag-iimbestiga sa flood control projects.
02:31The Palace also pointed out the importance of public cooperation in going after corrupt contractors.
02:36This comes as netizens have also taken notice of the lavish lifestyle of relatives of contractors
02:42allegedly involved in questionable flood control projects.
02:46Yan naman din po talaga ang naisin ng Pangulo Marcos Jr.
02:49na lahat-lahat po tayo ay magtulungan upang masawata itong mga korupsyon na ito.
02:54At hindi lamang po ang gobyerno ang pamahalaan ang dapat kumilis,
02:57kundi ang taong bayan na nakakaalam ng mga nangyayari sa paligid nila.
03:01So mas maganda po talaga ang isumbong nila sa Pangulo itong mga ganyan itong klaseng incidente at condition.
