00:00The Department of Foreign Affairs was dismayed by Timor-Leste's decision not to grant the Philippines' request for extradition to former Negros Oriental Representative Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
00:11This will show Timor-Leste's distrust of the Philippines' justice system, which is the founding member of ASEAN.
00:17The DFA also said that the country is in agreement with the agreement of support for Timor-Leste to be included in ASEAN.
00:24Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin-Riulla also said that Timor-Leste's application will be included in ASEAN's agreement.
00:32The DFA also said that the Philippines' plan to have a motion for reconsideration to extradite Tevez will also be included.
00:40Tevez is being accused of killing Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.
00:45The DFA will recommend to the Dutch government not to grant the asylum requested by the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
00:52Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said that he has no grudge against the actor of Roque.
00:57What I can say is that if we are asked, because the Netherlands will decide, but if the Philippine government asks for an opinion,
01:08of course, we will show that there is a problem and that it is not politically oppressed.
01:15If the Dutch government asks for an explanation before deciding, we need to tell the truth that the Philippines is a democratic country.
