00:00Mr. President, the PRRD member is saying that this arrest was an unlawful arrest.

00:10Well, we followed every single necessary procedure.

00:18We had a very good basis on which to serve that warrant and to redeem his rights.

00:27We followed all the legal procedures that are necessary.

00:31So, I'm confident that if in further examination, you will find that it is proper and correct.

00:42Mr. President, they are saying that this is just a political persecution and that there is also evidence in the 2028 elections.

00:51Okay, well, I'm sure they will say that.

00:59But this case started in 2017 when we were still members of the ICC and it was during the time of former President Duterte.

01:17So, I don't see how that can be political persecution on my part because it was initiated before I even came into the picture.

01:32So, that would seem.

01:36But once again, we have to recognize that, you know, of course, it's natural for people to put

01:43lalagyan ng politika, kulay ng politika.

01:47Pero sinundan lang natin yung Interpol.

01:51Wala tayong, hindi natin kinakausap yung ICC.

01:56Marami silang hinihingi sa atin.

01:58Ang mga dokumento, wala kaming binigay.

02:01Yun lamang, hindi natin mahindian ng Interpol.

02:06Pag sinabi sa atin, tulungan nyo kami, kailangan namin kuning itong taong ito.

02:12Dahil, kung maaalala ninyo, lahat ng mga tumakas dito sa Pilipinas,

02:18kagaya ni Alice Goh, kagaya ni Arnie Tevez, kung sino-sino pa,

02:23pati naman yung mga human trafficking sa Myanmar,

02:27pati sa mga madadama.

02:29Sinong tumulong sa atin para makita natin yung mga ating kababayan

02:35na inaapi at ginagamit sa masamang paraan?

02:40Ang Interpol.

02:42Kaya naman, dapat naman tayo, pag sinabi sa atin, tulungan nyo kami sa ganito,

02:48tumulong kayo.

02:49Kaya naman, ganun ang ganyawan natin.
