01:31I was pouring water.
01:32I couldn't pour it because there were people around.
01:35I tried to open the gate.

01:37I pushed it and it opened.
01:38It's on fire! It's on fire!
01:42We were scared.
01:43It was about to burst.
01:45Then we ran here.

01:49We opened the gate.
01:50We tried to escape.
01:52We were trapped.
01:53We couldn't escape.

03:07Viral video where a man was seen injured
03:10while inside the detention facility
03:13of San Manuel Police Station in Pangasinan.
03:16According to his brother,

03:32when he was seen inside the detention facility.
03:35There were wounds.
03:36Because of drugs,
03:37a police officer stabbed him.
03:39We wanted to demand them
03:41because of what they did to my brother.
03:43He was weak and had a headache.
03:46His hands were shaking.
03:50According to Police Regional Office 1,
03:52when he was arrested, he fell down
03:54and I think he was hit in the head.
03:57I think his head was hit.
04:00But nevertheless,
04:02for the benefit of the doubt,
04:04I directed my PD
04:06to relieve the person involved.
04:09The chief of San Manuel Police
04:11and the arresting officer were relieved
04:13to give way for the investigation.

10:50where did
10:51Sandro
10:52go when

10:55He only
10:56saw my
10:57son.
10:58He told
10:59me about

11:01Then I
11:02found out
11:03that before
11:04he told

11:07he said,
11:08Bro,
11:09I hope
11:10what happened
11:11to you
11:12will happen
11:13to me.
11:14The first
11:15thing Sandro
11:16told him
11:17was what
11:18happened
11:19to me.
11:20Your

11:25suspended.
11:26Cruz and

11:53that have
11:54been stated
11:55here in
11:56this letter
11:57are

11:59I just
12:00would like to
12:01give a piece
12:02of advice
12:03to these
12:04people.
12:05I hope

12:08to go
12:09without
12:10a medical
12:11certificate,
12:12but will

12:21something that
12:22has inflicted
12:23emotional and
12:24psychological
12:25trauma,

12:27not in
12:28the mental
12:29and emotional
12:30state to
12:31be attending
12:32a hearing now.
12:34If you're

12:39maybe
12:40additional
