00:00Sir, another question po, ngayon pong nasa costo din ng ICC si former President Duterte,
00:10do you think more witnesses would come out or even people directly involved in extrajudicial
00:18killings, do you think they would now have the courage to speak out or testify against
00:25the former President and his allies?
00:55I totally agree po. If we really observe what happened in the past, we have to finish the story of justice and lahat ng kwento kailangan may katapusan. We have to finish the story and therefore, sabi ko nga, ang bida dito ang dapat makakamit ng justisya ay yung mga biktima po, saka yung mga nakita po natin na pamilya nila.
01:26If we really observe what happened during the past administration, there was no thorough and comprehensive investigation about the EGK and in fact, one of the actions taken by the House of Representatives is the investigation about the EGK, the drugs, the pogo and other controversies.
01:53With that investigation, it served as a platform for persons to really enlighten regarding the implementation of the bloody war on drugs.
02:08In fact, the likes of Colonel Espinido appeared and testified before the investigation.
02:16With this development, I guess people will have courage to testify and speak what they know about this bloody war on drugs, especially on the part of the families of the victims. I expect that people will come out and speak their grievances.
