00:00Maybe we should also talk about those who are not victims.

00:08Not only should they be the ones who are affected by the attention of the people.

00:13It is not noticeable today what the victims experienced, what the families experienced

00:19who were left behind by their loved ones who were not victims of EJK.

00:27Why is it that Filipinos are no longer able to see those who died?

00:33Why is it that we are now able to see the stars that died and are about to die?

00:40Why is it that we are still able to glorify the murder and crimes against humanity?

00:48I hope that the people will open their minds.

00:51Look at what the people, the families who were victims of EJK experienced.

01:00Sorry, how far are we from achieving justice for those victims?

01:04In the ICC?

01:06Of EJK.

01:07Of EJK.

01:08As of now, I know that there are pending complaints.

01:13But according to SOJ Remulia, if I'm not mistaken, the complaints in the ICC will not be touched.

01:25So most probably, so that there will not be an overlapping of cases

01:30and for us not to say that there will be a double jeopardy in the future.

01:37So, let's see and I will also ask SOJ about the pending cases.

01:47Next question, Annalisa Verano, Bomba Radio.

01:52Good morning.

01:53Yesterday, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and PNP denied that there were no soldiers or police

02:00who resigned from the service in support of the former President.

02:04Does the President know about this and what is his reaction?

02:08In your opinion, what is the motive of spreading this and where did this come from?

02:14Many are spreading different stories that have no truth.

02:21In our view, spreading these kinds of stories is to increase the sympathy for the former President Duterte.

02:32But let us remember, we say to the countrymen, I hope you open your eyes and see what the truth is.

02:39Again, let us not leave the issue of extrajudicial killings.

02:46There are those who died.

02:48There are those who are complaining.

02:50And those who are complaining are from 2017.

02:54This is not the time of President Marcos.

02:58Next question, Tuesday New, DZWE.

03:01Mic, please.

03:05Good morning, Usec.

03:07The ongoing protests of the supporters of the former President Rodrigo Duterte

03:14were seen yesterday in various places in the country.

03:18How can you calm them down so that this will not continue with the so-called full-blown people power?

03:26As of now, the supporters of the former President Duterte, they have the right.

03:35They will not stop.

03:37They have the right to mourn and mourn for the former President Duterte.

03:44We have not seen anyone who could alarm the administration.

03:50When that happens, at that point, and what they are saying is all lies,

03:57and this is already alarming to the possible effect on the country,

04:01that is when the government will move.

04:03Ma'am, just a follow-up.

04:05What kind of movement will the government do if ever, ma'am?

04:09If this is increasing, and it is all fake, I don't want to mention fake news,

04:16because it is all lies.

04:18The lies, especially on social media,

04:22this administration cannot sleep.

04:25As of now, we are asking them to allow it.

04:29Just to express their rights, they have to exercise that right of freedom of expression.

04:34But if it is too much,

04:36of course, we will have a plan

04:40on how this can be tolerated.

04:42For the government, for the country,

04:46if there is a demolition,

04:48I mean a destabilization,

04:50the government cannot sleep.

04:52Especially since the government only obeys the law.

04:56They only do their duty.

04:58That's it.

05:00Last one.

05:02What is the extent, or what is the triggering factor

05:06for the government to act?

05:08What is the extent that they are waiting for to say,

05:12oops, that's enough, let's stop that.

05:16As of now, the question is very hypothetical.

05:18We will see how.
