00:00 Egy Lleong Son was born in Calle Infierno.
00:03 He is well-versed in the history of Calle Infierno
00:08 because he started the name
00:12 out of the joy of some young people.
00:15 What year was that?
00:17 1981.
00:18 Ah, 1981. What happened in 1981?
00:21 It was good.
00:22 That time, our place was good.
00:25 And?
00:26 Happy.
00:27 It was just fun because every party here,
00:31 the streets have arches.
00:33 Why did you name it Calle Infierno?
00:35 Because here,
00:37 this is Calle Banal,
00:40 this is Calle Street,
00:42 Calle Langit.
00:43 We're in the middle.
00:45 That's what we thought.
00:47 What they didn't know,
00:53 the name that started with a simple joy,
00:56 will be forgotten by time.
00:59 When you were young,
01:04 did you remember the look of this
01:06 so-called Calle Infierno?
01:08 Yes, we just have it portioned
01:10 in different places.
01:12 Which one?
01:13 Because its roof is white.
01:14 Here?
01:15 We used to play there when I was young.
01:17 Renato is one of the original residents of the place.
01:22 The houses were small back then
01:25 and almost all of them are related.
01:27 At that time,
01:29 when the sky was still white,
01:30 what was the name of this place?
01:32 Everlasting, ma'am.
01:34 Everlasting?
01:35 Everlasting.
01:36 Because the streets here
01:37 are called Bulaklak.
01:39 What are the other names?
01:42 Ilang-ilang, Sampaguita.
01:44 But the image of the place
01:46 didn't last long.
01:48 In the 80s,
01:51 a building from the province
01:53 was brought here.
01:55 Renato said
01:57 that the group brought
01:59 a lot of trouble.
02:01 The country of Calle Infierno
02:04 seemed to be real.
02:06 When the number of people increased,
02:12 a few months later,
02:14 the so-called Abu arrived.
02:17 What Abu?
02:18 The buildings.
02:20 What buildings?
02:22 They were 10 people.
02:23 They lived here
02:25 with their brother,
02:27 Brother Blackout.
02:29 At this point,
02:31 I noticed that
02:32 the tone of Renato's speech changed.
02:35 What are the Abu?
02:36 What are they?
02:38 They seem to be paying.
02:43 What?
02:44 They seem to be paying.
02:45 What are they paying?
02:47 What for?
02:48 To die.
02:50 Ah,
02:52 hitmen.
02:54 Why are we being bullied?
02:57 Are they still here?
02:59 No, they're all dead, ma'am.
03:01 Renato added that
03:02 since 1989,
03:04 the so-called Berador or Hitmen
03:06 have become the roots of
03:08 Calle Infierno.
03:09 Their place was covered
03:11 with fear and anxiety.
03:13 We were just at home.
03:17 We heard a gunshot.
03:18 We started running.
03:20 We saw people running.
03:21 We realized that someone was dead.
03:23 All of them,
03:32 even the good ones,
03:34 they were scared.
03:36 But,
03:38 they were the only ones who were scared.
03:40 How many of you?
03:42 All of us.
03:43 We were all listening.
03:44 We were waiting for the sun to rise.
03:45 We were waiting for the sun to rise.
03:47 All of us were running.
03:49 Edmond Geraldizo
03:52 is Renato's older brother.
03:54 He was one of the people
03:56 that the Abu took to run the place.
03:58 I was just sympathetic to them.
04:01 Because sometimes,
04:03 when I'm not with them,
04:05 I get angry.
04:07 According to Edmond,
04:08 even though the Berador are kind to him,
04:10 he is not satisfied
04:12 with what they are doing.
04:14 Even in our area,
04:16 before they were able to escape,
04:18 they were the ones who buried them.
04:20 They will pay to kill people.
04:23 Yes, that's it.
04:24 Sometimes,
04:25 when they don't want to,
04:27 they don't follow their orders.
04:29 The young people
04:31 are the ones who are in trouble.
04:33 The Berador have ruled
04:39 the streets of Inferno for a decade.
04:41 But in 1998,
04:43 something unexpected happened.
04:46 I was supposed to drive.
04:50 But the cop called me.
04:52 Yes.
04:53 "Edmond, don't drive."
04:56 "I don't know who the driver is."
04:58 "Who is the driver?"
05:00 "He's a man."
05:02 I was driving a garbage truck.
05:04 I was being chased.
05:08 That afternoon,
05:10 I was told that they were ambushed.
05:12 They were all dead.
05:14 One of the group's leaders
05:18 was ambushed in Malabon.
05:20 They hoped that Edmond
05:22 would be the driver that day.
05:24 But it seems that he was saved
05:26 by fate.
05:28 I told the Lord
05:30 that He will help me
05:32 to change.
05:34 He gave me a lot of life.
05:36 God gave me a lot of life.
05:38 A lot.
05:41 [Gunshots]
05:43 Since then,
05:45 the Berador have been caught
05:47 and killed one by one
05:48 in the streets of Inferno.
05:50 The peace in the area
05:52 is slowly returning.
