00:00Don't worry, I'll take care of this.

00:31Good morning everyone.

00:35Today we are here to discuss the complaint filed by Mrs. Lydia Soriano against Father Anzio Ladera.

00:45The preliminary investigation will determine if there is sufficient evidence or probable cause

00:52to continue the case filed by Mrs. Soriano in court.

01:00Mrs. Soriano, do you have additional details as to why Father Anzio Ladera should be charged with negligence

01:09or violation of Article 2176 of the Civil Code?

01:13Sir, my son, Dina, died because of the negligence of that man.

01:18We approached him because we thought he could help us.

01:23I told him that my son was possessed by an evil spirit.

01:28Instead of healing him, my son died because of his negligence.

01:34How did you say that your son was possessed by an evil spirit?

01:38The things he did, the things he said.

01:42My son! My son!

01:47My son! My son!

01:50Heal my son!

01:52My son!

01:55He said that the tree was poisonous and painful.

01:59He said that we were being punished.

02:02Father Anzio, you heard what Mrs. Soriano said.

02:07Can you tell us more about the incident?

02:13I have nothing to do with the death of Mrs. Lydia's son.

02:18I was not allowed to perform an exorcism that night.

02:23When I went there, my intention was to conduct an initial assessment

02:31to determine if the child was possessed or if he was suffering from a physical or psychological condition.

02:40But when the child suddenly convulsed,

02:47Mrs. Lydia forced me to continue the exorcism.

02:53I advised her to bring the child to the hospital.

02:57But Mrs. Lydia refused and asked me to help her.

03:04So I did what I could, which is to offer a deliverance prayer.

03:10Fiscal, the deliverance prayer of my client is not an act of exorcism.

03:17Therefore, this is not a case of neglect or a wrong decision of Father Anzio.

03:22In fact, he often tried to convince Mrs. Soriano to seek medical help.

03:28Therefore, it is not right to say that he is responsible for the death of the child.

03:34What are you trying to say? That I am to blame?

03:37That I am the cause of my son's death?

03:40Mrs. Lydia, I am begging you.

03:42I will not be able to help our case if you allow your emotions and anger.

03:49Father, I am sorry.

03:52I can no longer accept the washing of their hands.

03:54I am the cause of my son's death.

03:56I am the victim.

03:58I am the aggravator.

04:00Why do you blame me?

04:02Why don't you admit that you are to blame?

04:05Do you want me to live with you?

04:08Do you want me to pity you and admit that you are to blame?
