00:00As we conclude today's Quadcom hearings, we are reminded that the issues we have examined,

00:08illegal drugs, offshore gaming operations, and extrajudicial killings are not isolated challenges.

00:17They are deeply entwined with questions of law enforcement, accountability, national sovereignty,

00:26economic regulation, and human rights.

00:30The testimonies and pieces of evidence presented here at the Quadcom hearings have brought to light

00:38both the progress and the troubling gaps in our current systems.

00:46We heard voices demanding reforms, seeking justice, and calling for the rule of law to prevail without fear or favor.

00:57The Quadcom is tasked not only with uncovering the truth, but also with ensuring that truth leads to meaningful, lasting change.

01:11We owe that to the victims and to the Filipino people who deserve institutions that protect and serve with integrity.

01:22The Quadcom's work does not end here.

01:28Let these hearings stand as a commitment of the House of Representatives that we will do our work to the best of our ability,

01:37and it will continue to perform the task given to it.

01:44So, kami rin po ay nagpapasalamat sa cooperation din po ng aming mga resource persons.

01:52Kahit kayo po ay napapagalitan namin, kahit kayo po ay aming kinokontempt,

02:00kasi meron po kaming misyon o objective na dapat marating at ma-accomplish.

02:07Sana po maintindihan niyo po kami.

02:09Maraming maraming salamat po.

02:22Mag denen salamat po.
