Pia Gil, administrative officer of the Office of San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora denied that they uploaded the viral video which showed her arguing with Senator Jinggoy Estrada.
In a phone interview, Gil said she was just with her driver when the verbal tussle happened.
Using a cellphone, her driver attempted to take a video of the clash, but Estrada’s security personnel grabbed it. She later took back the cellphone of her driver from the said staff.
“So it’s really impossible that the video came from us. No such thing happened,” she stressed.
Gil said if the video came from them, they would have uploaded it the next day. She surmised that the video, which was uploaded only this August, could have come from the camp of Estrada.
But when informed that’s illogical since the video has a negative impact on the senator, Gil insisted that still, they have nothing to do with it.
Gil related that argument was triggered after they prevented Estrada and his men from going inside a gym in San Juan City which served as evacuation center for fire victims.
Gil said pointed out Estrada and his men violated protocol, which means that they have to go to the City Social Welfare Department to coordinate the giving of donations.
She also mentioned that a supposed staff of Estrada who failed to show an ID had asked for a list of the names of fire victims.
