00:00...unless the winner is a pro-opposition, they are the majority.

00:07So, that's where we're going.

00:09For me, I really don't want to interfere in the President-elect's statement.

00:15I don't want to interfere in the program.

00:18So, this is the reason why a lot of things are happening.

00:22So, for me, we need to identify...

00:25Let me be clear on this.

00:27We need to identify a pro-opposition or a pro-ministration.

00:31You need to be issue-based.

00:33So, you're not a person of theory.

00:35You need to be people-centered.

00:37Usually, what's happening now,

00:39everything is being discussed.

00:41If you notice,

00:43we don't talk about corruption in our country anymore.

00:47Sometimes, we forget

00:50about the abuse of money from the PBI,

00:53the Development Bank of the Philippines.

00:57The abuse of the rights of the people,

00:59the projects that are being implemented,

01:01the programs.

01:03What our policemen are doing,

01:06they're abusing their sexual rights,

01:09their warrant of arrest.

01:11The problem with drugs,

01:13it's coming back.

01:14It's even worse than before.

01:16It's like drugs are no longer legal.

01:19The problem with security,

01:22it's coming back.

01:24Our problem with insurgency,

01:26because there's a tactical alliance

01:28between the left and the pro-opposition.

01:30Our problem with security,

01:33a lot of kids are disappearing.

01:36And now,

01:38a lot of kids' testimonies are disappearing.

01:40They're disappearing,

01:42because their parents took them.

01:44They're disappearing because

01:46they were taken away by the UN.

01:51These are all important issues

01:54that are not being discussed anymore.

01:56What's being discussed is

01:58political warfare.

02:00For me,

02:01the time of the campaign,

02:03the time of the election,

02:04is the time for politicians

02:06to consolidate their political power.

02:09Once they win,

02:11you'll be in a fight

02:13with all political forces

02:16Because if you win,

02:18you'll be a people's servant.

02:20You won't be a servant

02:22of your own people.

02:24Once you win,

02:26all of that is your constitution.

02:28So that's my advice to the people.
