00:00This is the reaction of Congressman Ako to my press call to you guys, right?

00:13Let me clarify. General Ako, sir, you were not the one I hit.

00:22You were never receptive to the Duterte administration.

00:27I never heard you sung praises for the war on drugs that we waged during the Duterte administration.

00:37That's why I was wondering why you reacted.

00:42You were not the one I hit, sir.

00:45The others, not you.

00:48That's why I'm very sorry if you reacted that way.

00:54You were not the one I hit.

00:57I have high respect to General Ako, to Congressman Ako.

01:02He is one of the pioneers who became a politician that I admire.

01:12He and Senator Laxon are two of them.

01:15They are my idols.

01:18They came here and became legislators.

01:22That's why I'm sorry if you reacted to what I said.

01:27I did not intend to mean that it was you.

01:31Let's face it, it's true that if you can sing praises towards the Duterte and the war on drugs before,

01:46it's true if you can hit the war on drugs after.
