00:00 I hope you understand.

00:02 If I shed a tear,

00:04 it's because of the great loss we have suffered.

00:07 President Marcos became emotional

00:09 when he was given an eulogy

00:11 from the Necrological Service

00:13 for Secretary Tuts Ople.

00:15 Aside from a colleague,

00:17 Ople has been a long-time friend.

00:19 Since he was a senator,

00:21 it's been a decade.

00:23 Ople is happy with his advocacy

00:26 to help Filipino workers abroad.

00:29 If I do shed a tear,

00:31 it is because it is such a sad day

00:35 to know,

00:38 it is such a sad bit of knowledge

00:40 to know that Tuts will not be here anymore.

00:44 He was introduced to Ople

00:46 as a professional in his work

00:48 as a secretary of the Migrant Workers Department.

00:51 He usually doesn't need to be instructed

00:54 because he will just say

00:56 "If you have a problem, Ople has a solution."

00:59 Ople's sadness is not just for the government

01:03 but for the whole country.

01:05 Ople's sadness is not forgivable

01:08 to the OFWs

01:10 if Ople is not different from the OFWs

01:14 or even to the soldiers who were martyred

01:16 in the cemeteries of the OFWs.

01:18 She is a perfect example

01:20 of what true heroism can be.

01:23 She tirelessly dedicated the better part of her life

01:26 to promote the welfare of our modern day heroes.

01:31 In the public viewing held in Palacio earlier this afternoon,

01:35 the Filipino people's interest in Ople's last chance

01:39 also grew.

01:43 Ople's funeral will be held

01:45 at the Migrant Workers Department

01:47 before his cremation and inurnment tomorrow.
