00:00It seems House Human Rights Committee Chairperson Bienvenido Benny Abante Jr. could benefit from a crash course on dealing with grief and trauma.
00:09During a probe on extrajudicial killings on Wednesday, June 5, Abante berated human rights lawyer Cristina Conte for bringing only three families to testify.
00:18Abante says being afraid is a preposterous reason to still hide given that his committee promised protection to the families.
00:25He also claims that the Philippine National Police has compassion even if it's the same PNP whose anti-illegal drug operations led more than 6,000 deaths under the Duterte administration.
00:46Conte says we allow the victims to process their grief and their healing at their own pace.
