00:00I agree, Mr. Chair, we can't stop the hearing if we don't get the necessary, essential data to get the justice of the people who became victims of this war on drugs, war on drugs.
00:25In our opinion, we need answers. We really need to have strong statements here for an answer and Mr. Chair, I just want to say that we've been asking for the longest time for those involved here to attend
00:48and to continue to not attend the requests that we've received, Mr. Chair.
00:54And Mr. Chair, we are all working in the government, we are all the same, even the simple citizens that we call, ordinary citizens that we call are coming here because we want to know the truth.
01:15And to be able to speak, as you said earlier, not one-sided. But again and again, we've been requesting for the former president to come here to explain the accusations against him.
01:28Until now, that hasn't happened. So Mr. Chair, this cannot end like this, Mr. Chair.
01:35When in fact, that's what the victims are crying about. That's what the victims are saying. That's also what the data is saying, what the past researchers and experts are proving.
01:51That's also what the past researchers and experts are proving. That's also what the past researchers and experts are proving. That's also what the past researchers and experts are proving.
02:09For the children, for the women, for the victims of this war on drugs, we cannot stop this. Let's continue to have hearings until we know the truth about the extrajudicial killings committed during the Duterte administration.
02:28And we would like the highest, most responsible person to explain this, Mr. Chair.
02:39Thank you.
