NewsTranscript
00:00 The Senate Committee is now preparing for the former leaders of the Occidental Mindoro
00:06 who were deceived and killed for joining the "Mamaltrato".
00:10 The complaints filed by the Senate Committee were heard by the Batangas City Prosecutor's Office.
00:16 Witnesses are Danoting Cungco.
00:18 In front of the Senate, the Senate Committee told that Elvie Vergara is the bitter woman
00:27 of the former leaders of the Occidental Mindoro.
00:30 Because of the repeated insults to her, Elvie was blinded and bruised.
00:37 How did you lose your teeth?
00:39 In the beating. They beat me.
00:42 They really beat me.
00:44 Who beat you?
00:45 The woman.
00:46 The woman? Your husband, Mr. Ruiz?
00:49 Yes, Ms. Franz.
00:52 You were not fighting back then, right?
00:56 No.
00:57 I was afraid.
00:59 You were beaten by others?
01:01 Yes.
01:02 In 2021, Elvie escaped from her leaders and went to the office of Barangay 7 in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro
01:10 to ask for help and to check her belongings so that she would not be accused of stealing from the former leaders.
01:16 But she was followed to the barangay hall by her male leader.
01:20 Since then, she was not allowed to leave the house of a son of the former leader in Batangas City, Tunghonyo.
01:27 But the senators asked why the barangay chairman, Jimmy Patal, allowed Elvie to return to her leaders.
01:34 I thought she was a courtesan.
01:37 So my order to the court was to clean Elvie's mother.
01:42 I haven't told her yet, but her leader has already arrived.
01:48 You said that you went to the barangay and complained, right?
01:53 Yes, that's true. I told them to check my belongings so that my leader would not accuse me of stealing.
02:01 If you are honest and you are just, the first thing you should have done is to check with the doctor, call the CHR, call the PNP,
02:10 and say that there is something here, it looks like a broken house.
02:15 What you did was you surrendered her to the leader. She is so worthless.
02:20 Patal mentioned that she could have witnessed the fight against the Ruiz after they attended the other funeral services.
02:29 The former leaders of Elvie, Jerry and Franz Ruiz, should also be confronted by the Senate.
02:35 But Ruiz sent a text message that they will not be able to come because of a medical condition.
02:41 Do they have a medical certificate? Do they present a medical certificate?
02:46 No, no, your honor. They just sent an excuse letter.
02:50 Excuse letter?
02:51 Yes, sir.
02:52 What is this? A school?
02:54 If the excuse letter provided by the family of Ruiz were signed?
03:02 No, your honor, but it was sent to me via SMS from the number registered to them, sir.
03:08 So this is just a piece of paper?
03:10 And this will not start?
03:14 So, Mr. Chair, I move that we subpoena the family of Jerry Ruiz, Jerry Ruiz, the wife, Franz Ruiz, and the two children.
03:27 The committee is now preparing the subpoena to face the next hearing next week, the whole family of Ruiz.
03:34 The Human Rights Commission will also conduct an investigation.
03:37 We are still trying to get the family of Ruiz.
03:40 For GMA Integrated News, I am Dan Ating Cunco, your witness.
