01:01 I am sure that the charity is not aware of this kind of behavior.
01:06 [News report in Tagalog]
01:15 I know of one or two incidents, Your Honor, where the boys got into a scuffle
01:20 and they hurt each other so badly that they were punished by Kuya Eddie.
01:26 But only as far as probably a spank on the butt, but Your Honor, all of these allegations I have not heard of.
01:33 And listening to it now, I would have to confront Kuya Eddie himself and ask him if this is true.
01:40 Because if this is true, it's not something that can be tolerated.
01:44 Gentle Hands also heard the audio from the visit to the children in May.
01:49 According to the children, they are being forced to leave the orphanage.
01:53 They are trying to make stories so we cannot go back in the Gentle Hands.
01:57 What stories do you mean?
01:59 They are going to force us to say, "Is mom hurting you?"
02:03 They asked me yesterday what I want. I said I want to go home.
02:07 Home sweet home.
02:10 Because of the different expressions of the children, Senator Yson Tiveros asked, "What should be believed?"
02:17 The Commission on Human Rights said that the children should be able to talk alone.
02:21 No staff from Gentle Hands or social workers from DSWD should be allowed to know the truth.
02:28 Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian insisted that the government social workers should not influence the children to lie.
02:37 The agency also insisted that it is right to close the facility in Gentle Hands.
02:42 Five months have passed and it has not yet been corrected in its fire safety and building code violations.
02:49 Without an F-6, we cannot let a care facility operate because it's a fire trap, technically speaking.
02:56 It is also clear that the children are not familiar with the Filipino culture and language,
03:01 are used to a tight space and do not know proper hygiene.
03:05 Other findings of the agency were discussed in an executive session.
