00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. was heartbroken

00:04for the family of a Filipino in Saudi Arabia who was pardoned from death penalty.

00:09The President also expressed his support for them.

00:13Kenneth Paciente with the report.

00:17President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. was saddened by the arrest of a Filipino in Saudi

00:23after being pardoned from death penalty.

00:26According to the President,

00:27even though the government did everything to save the life of a Filipino,

00:31the family of the victim who was pardoned by the Philippines

00:36including the blood money, did not agree.

00:38We had very few options left.

00:40We tried everything and for many, many years.

00:43And the Saudi government really tried to look

00:51and to be sure that the judgment of hanging was actually deserved.

01:01Nonetheless, we appealed to the better natures against our friends in Saudi Arabia

01:11to perhaps have another look and they did.

01:15And unfortunately, the law there is very strict

01:19and apparently the conviction has stood and one of ours has been taken away.

01:30But, yes, very unfortunate.

01:34The President also said that the government has been pursuing this for several years

01:38and that the government's coordination with the Saudi government has been uncoordinated.

01:42This has been going on for how many years?

01:44It's around 5-6 years, sir.

01:46Yes, I remember, around 5-6 years ago.

01:49I came upon it when I came into office and they told me it's an old gun.

01:55And as I said, I guess Saudi tried to exhaust all possibilities.

02:00So did we.

02:02But to no avail.

02:05The Executive Board of the Philippine Family of the Victim,

02:09who asked not to disclose their identity,

02:12said that the government will provide all the needs of the family.

02:17We'll see what they need.

02:20But for someone who dies abroad, an OSW,

02:25we have many procedures for that, to bring them back home.

02:30So I don't think that will be a problem.

02:32The DMW is also helping the DFA to send back the Philippine victims.

02:37Gandy will also provide assistance to this family.

02:40We're working closely with the DFA on that matter.

02:45And we're assuring that we're assisting the family.

02:49The DMW has visited the family and assured them of our support and assistance.

02:58The so-called Filipino was sentenced to death after a Saudi national

03:03was accused of money laundering.

03:05Kenneth, patient.

03:07For Pambansang TV in Bago, Philippines.
