[0:16] Good morning to our friends in the media. Today's press conference pertains to the filing of criminal and administrative charges in connection with recent incidents involving alleged violations of existing laws and regulations governing online conduct statements.
[0:34] Joining us today are USEC Aboy Paraiso of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, Director Melvin Matibag of the NBI, and USEC Precious Hipólito Castello of the Presidential Communication Office. May we now respectfully ask Director Matibag to give his opening remarks, sir.
[0:53] Magandang kumagal sa inyong lahat. Una sa lahat, kamusta na kayo lahat? Nakamustayin ko muna kayo at alam ko masyadong marami kayong ginagawa this week. And I hope all of you will be blessed. God bless us all. Salamat sa inyo.
[1:12] So nandito po si USEC Aboy Paraiso ng CICC and of course USEC Precious Hipólito. This is in connection with the case to be filed against Attorney Harold Rispicio, Vice Mayor from Isabela, for his behavior sa social media.
[1:30] So, ang tinitingnan natin kaso rito is inciting to seditions, rebellion, and unlawful use of means of publications, unlawful utterances.
[1:43] So, ang nag-issue ng complaint abidibit, ang nag-execute is no other than Aboy Paraiso. And of course, with the support ng ating USEC Precious Hipólito.
[1:57] So, yun lang. Nag-pile sila sa amin, we'll do the investigation and case bill that, and eventually, we'll file it to the Department of Justice for proper disposition.
[2:09] Good morning.
[2:11] Sige po, at this point, you can direct your statement po pala.
[2:14] I say thank you, sir.
[2:16] Tama po, nagpapasalamat po kami sa NBI sa maagang pagtanggap at sa pagkasikaso sa amin.
[2:37] This is the execution po ng aming usapan at ng aming kasunduan po ng ating presidential communications office that we now monitor yung mga behavior online.
[3:20] Maraming salamat po kay NBI Director Attorney Melvin Matibag sa pagtanggap po ng paghahaim po na ito.
[3:28] At ganoon din po kay CICC USEC Aboy at sa inyo pong lahat.
[3:34] At ang aming pala, on behalf of our presidential communications office, Secretary Dave Gomez,
[3:42] our presidential communications office, Secretary Dave Gomez,
[3:50] sa utos na rin po ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos,
[3:52] na tayo po'y maging mapanuri sa ating pong nababasa, nakikita,
[3:58] at lalo ngayon sa panahon ng social media at marami pong mga platforms,
[4:02] kagaya ng Facebook o Meta, at ng TikTok.
[4:05] May pong mga platforms, kagaya ng Facebook o Meta, at ng TikTok.
[4:10] At syempre sa ating mga kababayan,
[4:12] mahilig tayong mag-like, mag-view, mag-share, no po?
[4:16] Maging responsable rin po tayo sa pag-po-post.
[4:18] Maging maingat din po tayo at igalang din po natin ang karapatan ng bawat isang mamamayan.
[5:05] Ang tanong na seryoso, kapag hindi na gumagana ang traditional principle ng ating konstitusyon na seryoso,
[5:14] kapag hindi na gumagana ang traditional principle ng ating konstitusyon na demokrasya,
[5:25] anong sagot?
[5:26] Revolusyon.
[5:27] Tapos sabi niya ito na ni Restitution na demokrasya.
[5:29] Anong sagot? Revolusyon.
[5:32] Tapos sabi niya ito na ni Restitution, revolusyon.
[5:34] Ito ni Restitution, baliwalayin natin ang konstitusyon.
[5:38] Nasa, serve na ho namin yung ebidensya pinagana namin sa social media platforms.
[8:28] Hindi na ho sila, hindi na ho sila, hindi nila na maitatago yung mga ginawa nila.
[8:36] And just to answer your question specifically,
[8:38] yes, we are contemplating on filing cases for alarms and scandals naman po
[8:43] against that particular individual who posted.
[8:47] Not in his capacity as a lawmaker, but in his capacity as an ethical, as an individual po.
[9:08] Okay. Malapit na kasi ang 2028 and dadami na naman yung mga gano'ng mga posts,
[9:16] incendiary posts and other forms of expression that may go beyond free speech.
[9:21] So ano yung paghahanda ang ginagawa ng CICC in terms of these matters and in part the NBI and the PCO?
[9:29] Ito ho, itong ginagawa ho natin, this is in furtherance ho nung MOA na nilagdaan ho ng PCO, ng DOJ at ng DICT.
[9:39] Alam nyo naman ho, ang NBI is an attached agency of the DOJ at ang CICC ho is an attached agency of the DICT ho.
[9:47] So ito ho, ito yung kampanya, ito yung katuparan, ito yung execution ng kampanya natin,
[9:52] not against fake news but false information.
[9:55] At ang tinetreshold na, ang ginagawa ho natin threshold, those post expressions na nag-i-incite na ng kaharasan.
[10:14] At ito yung mga expressions na pag binagbabatayan ng mga kababayan natin, ng mga opinion nila,
[10:20] yung pinag-aalab yung damdamin nila, pero ang pabatayan ng mga damdamin, yung galit nila sa atin is maling information.
[10:27] So maybe,
[10:28] Ito yung giving opportunity para yung ima sa atin na minamagal. Every opportunity, the DOJ is a pre-processed.
[14:50] So, yung sinasabi na baka may ibang grupo, that is a possibility, but sabi ko nga, we will act based on evidence.
[14:59] Thank you, Derek.
[15:01] Si Mr. John Mona, John Consulta.
[15:06] John Consulta po, GMA News.
[15:08] With the indulgence of music, I would like to address this question to you.
[15:12] Sir, bukod po doon sa binanggit po kanina ni Director, ng specific instance kung saan po mayroong nakikitang possibility ng panghikayat sa ating mga taong bayan to act on something that he said,
[15:30] mayroon pa po ba yung specific instances na nakita po ng mga posts or log na mayroon pong kahalintulad ng mabigat po na repercussion na kanya pong ginawang aksyon?
[15:39] So, are we talking about the same person doon sa post niya?
[15:42] Yeah, doon sa Facebook page niya, tsaka doon sa mga other social media channels niya.
[15:48] We are, we have seen a lot rin namin para pag pinasa namin sa NBI, medyo kompleto na ho.
[15:57] Again, this is born out of a partnership.
[16:00] Kami naman ho ni Director Melvin.
[16:02] Even first day pa lang niya ho, siguro mga ilang araw pa lang siya dito na nakabisita na ho,
[16:07] nag-form na ho kami ng partnership.
[16:09] Sabi ko, even without that particular mo, maganda na ho yung ugnayan natin.
[16:13] And going back to your question, yes, there are posts that we are looking into
[16:17] and we're even talking to the social media pages about, you know, these residents.
[16:41] Ulit-ulit na ganito lang ang pinopost.
[16:43] Actually, hindi niyo usapan namin ni Sec. Dave Gomez at saka ni Yusek Precious na
[16:48] pag mga ganitong klaseng tao na alam nyo na yung ipopost, we're talking to the...
[16:52] The last note alam po, Director, doon po sa binagat niya po mga posibleng isang pangreklamo po laban sa kanya,
[18:58] ano po yung karampatang parusa na maaari po niyang harapin sa kasakali pong lumusot po
[19:04] sa ating pong pagsukat ng ebidensya yung kanya pong mga ginawa?
[19:10] Iba't-ibang penalty to, ranging from prison correctional to prison mayor.
[19:15] So, more than 6 years to 20 years na mga penalty na to.
[19:40] So, pag yung 1175, it will qualify, mas tatas pa yung penalty.
[19:46] So, one degree higher kaagad yung penalty.
[19:48] So, mga 20.
[19:50] Ang ginagawa nila ho, parang dinidisregard nila yung kayo, traditional media,
[21:18] na huwag paniwalaan kayo at sila lang ang paniwalaan.
[21:21] And they're using their platforms, not only to discredit the traditional media,
[21:27] but promote their own agendas, promote their own narratives.
[21:32] At madalas ang naratibo na yan is mag-commit ng violence, mag-take up ng arms.
[21:37] So, marami ho tayong tinitingnan ngayon.
[21:40] At siguro, ito ho, magsilbing babala sa inyo na ang PCO, ang NBI ho, ang CICC ho,
[21:46] nakabantay na ho sa mga post ninyo na mayroon na tayong sukatan
[21:51] na ginagamit, para naman ho, hindi na, pag lumagpas kayo sa sukatan na ito,
[21:55] hindi na siguro tama na palagpasin pa kayo, talagang dapat maging accountable tayo
[22:01] doon sa mga pinupost natin.
[22:03] Last na lang po, dahil naging grounds noong sa disbarment ni Atty. Larry Gadon,
[22:08] yung pagbumar niya sa media, basta yung mga talagang maanghang na salita,
[22:15] na disbar siya, pwede bang maging grounds ng disbarment itong mga salita ni
[22:21] may restisyo at may magpapail ba sa inyo ng disbarment?
[22:31] Yep, all the more reason, di ba? Parang ito nga, yung tama ho kayo,
[22:34] si Secretary Gadon niya, ang kaso niya for disbarment is yung pag-attake
[22:41] at pagbumura, unconduct and becoming of a lawyer,
[22:46] nung nagmura siya sa media.
[22:48] Eh paano pa ho to?
[22:50] Commission na ho ng crime to, di ba?
[22:52] So, and you're correct, we will be filing disbarment cases sooner rather than later.
[23:02] Okay po, thank you po.
[23:05] And for, siguro limit natin questions sa two questions lang brother,
[23:08] para marami mo pagtanong, salamat.
[23:10] Hi sir, magandang araw po. Grant Hilario from Bomburadio.
[23:14] Sir, bukod po kay Atty. Harold Respicio, alam po natin that the current issue po ngayon
[23:19] ay yung pagtask po na arrestoy na si Sen. Bato de la Rosa.
[23:24] Sir, kumusta po yung monitoring natin na kung meron man po nagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon
[23:30] o nagpo-post online about sa locations ni Sen. Bato de la Rosa?
[23:34] May ganun ba tayong monitoring, sir?
[23:35] Kami naman ho, pinapaubayan namin, mas gamay ho ng ating NBI at law enforcement agencies,
[23:43] yung ganyan bagay.
[23:45] If you're talking about, or if you're asking me and the PCO,
[23:48] if you're monitoring yung mga fake news about this location,
[23:52] kami ho, wala.
[23:53] Kaya Yusek Precious, baka minamonitor kayo.
[23:57] So far, dudugtungan ko lang po.
[24:09] Yung sinabi kanina ni Yusek, a way earlier,
[24:11] nagkaroon po ng proyekto ang PCO,
[24:14] pangunan ni Ako Plan contra Fake News.
[24:33] Nagkaroon po tayo ng Memorandum of Agreement Signing,
[24:36] kasama po yung mga publishers natin,
[24:39] ngayon din po ang DOJ, ang DICT,
[24:42] at sa mga susunod pa po ay yung ating mga kasamahan sa KBP,
[24:48] kapisan ng broadcasters,
[24:49] ganun din po yung social media platforms.
[24:52] As to the monitoring po,
[24:53] meron po tayong tinatawag na Oplan contra Fake News Desk,
[24:58] na kung saan pag meron tayong natatanggap po na report,
[25:00] agad-agad ay pinuforward po natin yan,
[25:03] minamonitor po together with Meta,
[25:05] at iba't iba po po nating mga platform.
[25:07] So talagang full blast din po ang ating pamamatsyag,
[25:16] kaya ulitin po natin,
[25:17] we are encouraging the public na maging responsable,
[25:21] at the same time,
[25:22] ay pangalagaan din natin yung kapakanan ng bawat isa,
[25:25] kasi nakaka-apekto po ito sa ating mga kabatahan.
[25:31] Yung, huwag nang magdagdag pa kung mali naman yung informasyon na ibigay,
[25:37] kasi nakakabigat pa sa manpower ng law enforcement,
[25:42] at saka pagka nalaman namin na sinasadya na ganyan,
[25:46] that you have also a responsibility under the law, no?
[25:51] Being declared na Pudip from Justice,
[25:54] may makakorrespondy na yun na yun pag tumulong ka,
[25:56] if you're aiding and abetting somebody who's a Pudip from Justice,
[26:01] may obstruction of justice na yan,
[26:02] may harboring na criminal.
[26:04] So magingat po tayo,
[26:05] kasi yun na yung mismo kinakatakot namin ngayon,
[26:08] parang, I don't know,
[26:11] kasi matagal na po ako bugado,
[26:12] pero ngayon, ba't parang nagbabago yata?
[26:14] Nagbabago yung behavior,
[26:16] parang yung mga mali,
[26:17] nagiging tama eh.
[26:19] Eh meron naman po tayong rules,
[26:20] meron naman po tayong batas na sinusunod.
[26:23] Kagaya ni Attorney Rispicio,
[26:24] attorney siya.
[26:25] Ang mas mataas pong expectation sa mga bugado,
[26:29] rather than non-ordinary blogger eh.
[26:31] Kasi kung ang behavior nito ni Attorney Rispicio,
[26:35] ipaparehas siya lang kalimbawa kay Jack Argota,
[26:39] eh mas mataas po yung responsibility niya.
[26:41] Kasi unang-una, bugado siya.
[26:44] So, elected official pa po siya.
[26:46] So marami po siyang responsibilidad.
[26:48] At yung kanya pong sasabihin,
[26:50] eh titignan po ng marami,
[26:52] at maaring sundan,
[26:53] at maaring isipin na tama.
[26:54] Kung wala pong enough reasoning faculty
[26:57] para maintindihan yung sinasabi niya,
[26:59] eh baka yung maling sinasabi niya,
[27:01] eh baka maging tama po sa pananaw ng iba.
[27:04] Thank you, sir.
[27:06] Siguro we'll take two more questions, no?
[27:08] After you, isa na lang.
[27:13] Good morning po.
[27:15] Juan Antonio po from IBC News.
[27:18] Yusek Aboy,
[27:19] confirm lang namin po, no,
[27:21] last week,
[27:21] in-announce po ng DICT
[27:23] na meron pong five person of interest
[27:25] kayong pinag-aaralan
[27:27] dahil nga po sa pagpapakalat ng fake news
[27:30] during dun sa shooting incident
[27:33] sa Senate.
[27:34] Can you confirm, sir,
[27:35] na isa si Attorney Respicio
[27:37] doon sa mga person of interest
[27:41] na pinag-aaralan nyo
[27:42] kung hindi man,
[27:45] ano po yung update
[27:46] tungkol dun sa investigations
[27:47] na meron po kayo?
[27:49] ...Respicio doon, no.
[27:52] Ito, broadcasting on their own channels
[27:59] na pumunta sa Senado
[28:00] at sumali doon sa
[28:03] pagsugod doon sa Senado.
[28:06] Baka doon ho,
[28:07] pumapasok siguro yung statement na
[28:08] the Senate is under attack
[28:10] kasi namonitor naman talaga namin,
[28:12] Director,
[28:12] na may mga nagihikaya
[28:13] at nasuguri na yung Senado.
[28:15] Pero it's not coming from law enforcement,
[28:17] especially not the NBI.
[28:18] But yung mga nagrarally ho doon sa laban.
[28:39] So,
[28:40] number five na ipapasa na ho namin
[28:42] kay NBI
[28:44] at saka sa mga law enforcement partners ho natin,
[28:46] specifically for those acts
[28:49] na nagtatawag
[28:50] na pumunta doon sa Senado
[28:51] at para sugurin ang Senado.
[28:55] Pero doon po sa lima na yun,
[28:56] sir,
[28:57] meron po bang malalaking personalidad
[28:59] na kayong kasama
[29:00] sa pinaiimbestigahan?
[29:02] Hindi ko ma-qualify
[29:03] kung ano yung malaki at saka
[29:04] ano yung maliit,
[29:05] but all I can say is
[29:07] may mga influencers
[29:09] to mga to,
[29:10] may mga findings to mga to.
[29:26] Okay, sir.
[29:27] Last na for me,
[29:28] yung kay Art Samaniego
[29:29] na nagpost po siya
[29:31] regarding doon sa MITM,
[29:33] nag-coordinate na po ba
[29:35] siya sa inyo
[29:36] or nag-coordinate na po ba
[29:37] yung CICC sa kanya
[29:39] regarding doon po sa report na
[29:41] Are you working within
[32:00] a specific timeline?
[32:01] Are we looking at weeks?
[32:03] We don't have a timeline
[32:06] because if you will see him today,
[32:07] we will arrest him today.
[32:08] If we will see him tomorrow
[32:10] or next week,
[32:11] we will arrest him.
[32:12] But we are right now
[32:15] looking for him.
[32:16] Kung paano siya
[32:17] malis noon sa Senado,
[32:18] we're tracking him.
[32:19] Thank you.
[32:23] Clarification lang po,
[32:24] Attorney.
[32:24] RR po ulit
[32:25] from PTV4.
[32:26] Attorney,
[32:27] I understand
[32:29] na sabi po ng Supreme Court
[32:30] na wala pong pumitigil
[32:31] sa government
[32:32] na arestuhin
[32:34] si Bato Dalarosa,
[32:36] but
[32:36] clarification lang po
[32:37] na hindi na po natin
[32:39] hihintayin yung complete
[32:41] na Supreme Court ruling
[32:42] on Monday
[32:43] sa pag-implement
[32:45] ng
[32:45] arrest warrant.
[32:46] Well,
[32:48] with that matter,
[32:49] sa DOJ yan eh.
[32:51] We are the law enforcement.
[32:52] It's the DOJ
[32:52] who probably will
[32:54] answer on the legalities.
[32:56] There's an order
[32:56] from the Department of Justice
[32:58] to arrest
[32:58] Sen. Bato.
[32:59] As a law enforcement group,
[33:01] we will enforce
[33:01] the order
[33:02] of the Department of Justice.
[33:04] Next question po,
[33:05] Attorney.
[33:06] Baka lang po
[33:07] meron po kayong knowledge
[33:08] kasi sabi po kahapon
[33:10] ng DOJ.
[33:11] As far as they know,
[33:12] meron na pong papers
[33:14] regarding sa
[33:15] Interpol Red Notice.
[33:16] So,
[33:18] meron na po ba
[33:19] or kailan po
[33:20] nag-apply
[33:20] yung government?
[33:22] Well,
[33:22] I think it's the
[33:23] DOJ also
[33:24] who should answer
[33:25] that question.
[33:26] On a matter of
[33:28] law enforcement,
[33:28] we will answer it
[33:29] as long as it will not
[33:30] compromise
[33:31] the ongoing operation.
[33:33] Pero we confirm po,
[33:34] attorney,
[33:35] na meron po talaga.
[33:36] There is a valid warrant
[33:37] that can be enforced.
[33:39] Meron pong
[33:39] yung Interpol Red Notice po.
[33:42] It's the DOJ
[33:43] who made that statement.
[33:59] I apologize for that.
[34:03] Thank you, Pop.
[34:08] Last chance,
[34:08] Ms. Billionaria.
[34:09] Eventually,
[34:26] yung mga ganyang bagay
[34:27] naman,
[34:27] you can never escape
[34:29] the long arm of the law.
[34:30] So,
[34:30] mahanap at mahanap ka.
[34:32] It goes also
[34:32] to the other
[34:33] fugitives from justice.
[34:38] Taabot at taabot tayo
[34:39] sa sitwasyon na yan.
[34:40] Just like yesterday,
[34:41] 16 years siya
[34:42] na nagtatago,
[34:43] we were able
[34:43] to arrest it.
[34:45] So,
[34:45] meron naman.
[34:46] May yung nangyari.
[34:47] Kaya lang,
[34:47] siyempre,
[34:48] we want it sooner
[34:49] than later.
[34:50] But we are positive.
[34:52] Well,
[34:52] we're always positive
[34:53] in the law enforcement
[34:54] because
[34:55] at the end of the day,
[34:56] we have to promote
[34:57] law and order.
[34:58] Pero nasa loob pa daw
[34:59] ng bansa?
[35:01] Hindi ko masasabi yan
[35:02] pero I'm sure
[35:02] wala namang report pa
[35:04] from Bureau of Immigration
[35:05] na lumabas siya.
[35:06] So,
[35:06] if you will base on that,
[35:07] nandito pa siya.
[35:09] Thank you, Tony.
[35:09] Sir,
[35:10] may hirip pa si Ms. Billionara
[35:11] channel.
[35:12] Pwede daw ko.
[35:15] Sir,
[35:15] good morning.
[35:16] From a law enforcement...
[35:17] Kamusta ka?
[35:18] Okay po.
[35:19] Kamusta ka, sir?
[35:20] Okay naman po.
[35:20] Okay naman.
[35:21] Okay po.
[35:22] From a law enforcement
[35:23] standpoint
[35:24] and the legal standpoint,
[35:25] can I leave the warrant
[35:46] to the legal counsel?
[35:49] Well,
[35:50] gayon lang ako nakarinig
[35:51] ng ganun.
[35:51] Unless yung abogado,
[35:53] siya yung aarestohin
[35:54] at wilig magpakulong,
[35:55] pwede yun.
[35:56] Pero,
[35:56] no.
[35:57] Because the warrant
[35:58] should be served personally.
[36:13] Bagong lawyer,
[36:14] may naturo sa kanilang bago.
[36:15] Pero to my knowledge,
[36:17] may bagong...
[36:26] ...
[36:26] ...
[36:28] I hope I can answer that
[36:31] kasi
[36:31] sa law enforcement kami,
[36:33] hindi ko naman pwedeng
[36:34] ma-second guess yung behavior.
[36:35] But ang sinasabi ko lang nga,
[36:38] if we will base it
[36:38] on the records
[36:39] of Europe Immigration,
[36:41] walang records pa.
[36:43] But you have to,
[36:44] of course,
[36:44] you have to remember
[36:45] yung geographical setup
[36:47] ng Pilipinas.
[36:48] Diba?
[36:48] There are a lot of points
[36:49] of entries and exits.
[36:51] So ako na lang,
[36:59] I have to appeal
[37:00] kay Senator Bato,
[37:01] baka nanonood siya,
[37:02] mas maganda siguro,
[37:03] sumuko na lang siya.
[37:04] Kasi dalawang bagay naman yan eh.
[37:06] Arestuhin ka o sumuko mo ka.
[37:07] So,
[37:07] it's an option na sumuko.
[37:08] Mayroon ko ba kayong panawagan
[37:47] sa public na
[37:48] kanya tumulong
[37:49] sa paghahanap
[37:50] kay Senator Bato?
[37:51] Well,
[37:52] hindi na siguro
[37:53] kailangan manawagan
[37:54] ng law enforcement
[37:54] because it's
[37:55] our obligation
[37:56] as a citizens of the country
[37:58] to help.
[37:59] Kung mayroong mga
[38:00] PUDD from justice
[38:00] na alam natin,
[38:01] to help us.
[38:02] To help the law enforcement
[38:03] to arrest.
[38:05] Lalong-lalo
[38:06] naalam naman natin eh,
[38:07] maraming
[38:07] maraming biktima, no?
[38:10] So we have to,
[38:11] nakita nyo ba yung
[38:12] parang hindi naman
[38:13] na makapagsali tayo
[38:14] mga namatay eh.
[38:15] So this is the process
[38:17] that he has to face.
[38:18] So kailangan sumuko siya
[38:19] and to the public
[38:26] na mayroong knowledge
[38:27] na pwede nyong
[38:28] itulong sa law enforcement,
[38:30] I urge you to help
[38:31] the law enforcement
[38:32] to locate
[38:32] and arrest
[38:44] Senator Bato Dilarosa.
[38:45] Patong siya ulo,
[38:52] ano, buhok ba yung
[38:53] tinatanong mo?
[38:56] Madulus yun.
[38:59] It's not for me,
[39:00] it's not for me
[39:01] to answer.
[39:02] But sabihin ko lang nga
[39:03] talaga,
[39:03] DILG,
[39:04] we have a dedicated team,
[39:06] we are an ongoing operation
[39:08] to locate
[39:09] Senator Bato.
[39:22] Well, ano na yan eh,
[39:24] that is already
[39:25] yung question nyo
[39:25] kasi meron na tayong
[39:27] may perception tayo.
[39:28] Ano na yan,
[39:29] may hirap sagutin yan eh.
[39:30] Kasi hindi pa naman
[39:31] nangyayari eh.
[39:32] So right now,
[39:33] I'll go back to what
[39:34] I'm saying,
[39:35] there's an order of DOJ
[39:36] for us to arrest
[39:37] Senator Bato.
[39:39] So we have a team,
[39:41] dedicated teams
[39:41] to locate him
[39:43] and arrest
[39:44] Senator Bato.
[39:45] Direct last na
[39:46] pinapatanong lang,
[39:47] magkakaroon daw po ba
[39:48] ng like wanted posters?
[39:50] Wanted posters
[39:51] for Senator Bato?
[39:52] Marami na nagpo-post eh.
[39:52] Pinapatanong lang.
[39:53] Marami na nagpo-post eh.
[39:55] May mga gumawa na, no?
[39:56] So,
[39:57] ang hirap na,
[39:58] is now if you did
[39:59] the people of justice,
[40:00] he has to answer
[40:01] sa lalo, no?
[40:02] Galing siyang law enforcement.
[40:03] So,
[40:04] I think,
[40:05] dapat alam niya
[40:06] kung ano yung tama niyang gamit.
[40:08] Sir, sorry, last na.
[40:10] Sir, may mga expert kasi
[40:11] na nagsasabi na
[40:12] kapag na-arresto si
[40:14] Senator Bato,
[40:14] dito muna siya
[40:15] ikulong hangga,
[40:17] at huwag munang ilipad
[40:18] sa ICC
[40:20] hanggat may pending pa
[40:21] ng mga motion,
[40:22] petisyon
[40:23] sa Supreme Court.
[40:24] Possible ba yun, sir?
[40:25] Well,
[40:25] that is their position.
[40:27] That's one problem also
[40:29] now in social media, no?
[40:31] Ang daming ng abogado,
[40:32] ang daming ng expert,
[40:34] ang daming ng magaling
[40:35] sa law enforcement, no?
[40:36] So,
[40:37] leave it,
[40:38] leave it as that, no?
[40:39] Pag na-arresto namin,
[40:40] we'll turn over to the DOJ,
[40:42] and DOJ will proceed
[40:43] kung ano yung gagawin.
[40:44] Thank you, sir.
[40:45] Okay, that will be all for today.
[40:47] Maraming po salamat,
[40:47] you, sir.
[40:48] Ah, boy, you, sir.
[40:48] gracious for coming.
