00:00Yes, a while ago, in the testimony of Raquel Lopez,
00:07where she said that Colonel Garma went to their house,
00:12and the body of Colonel Garma, she was recurring at night,
00:18and she said that Colonel Garma shouted,
00:25Please repeat, Ms. Lopez, what Colonel Garma did at your house that night.
00:36He was angry, he was very angry.
00:40What will you do?
00:43I don't know many people like that.
00:48He was very angry.
00:50Why did they kill so many people?
00:53Moratory, Your Honor.
00:55Okay.
00:57I understand the difference, the Tagalog.
01:02So, Colonel Garma,
01:05did you receive what Raquel Lopez said about that incident?
01:12Or you don't remember?
01:15Mr. Chair, I don't have the style to say that.
01:18It's not part of my vocabulary.
01:21That's why I don't remember what I said.
01:24Definitely.
01:26Because when it comes to people like that,
01:28I am more focused on gambling.
01:30And I say, pray for the dead.
01:33But I don't remember what she said,
01:36because it's not my style when I go around and kill people.
01:40Colonel Garma, you always mention that instead of gambling, you should pray.
01:46Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:47You are a religious person.
01:49I pray, Mr. Chair, yes.
01:50I'm not saying that you're not praying.
01:52You're saying that...
01:54The thing is, here in the Philippines,
01:59almost everyone who dies has gambling.
02:02Do you know why there's gambling?
02:04Do you know why there's gambling?
02:07Do you know why there's gambling when someone dies?
02:11Do you know why?
02:13There are two reasons.
02:14What reason?
02:15As far as I know, it's for those who are awake to watch over,
02:18and or for fundraising.
02:21That's what I understand.
02:23The thing is, as far as I know,
02:26as a congressman, I kill people.
02:31Almost everyone, 90% of those who die,
02:37gamble because of poverty.
02:41There's nothing for the rich.
02:43Why?
02:44Because that's where they make money so they can bury their dead.
02:49That's right, Your Honor.
02:51See?
02:52That's what I'm telling you.
02:54Yes.
02:55Now, I'm also praying,
02:58but do you think that his prayer
03:02will give him money to bury the dead?
03:05No, it won't.
03:07That means, you're saying,
03:10don't gamble.
03:11You're already talking about that.
03:13You're saying that to people.
03:15Am I right or wrong?
03:17You're saying,
03:19don't gamble, just pray.
03:21You're saying that to people.
03:23Am I right or wrong?
03:25You're saying that.
03:27I think, Mr. Chair, there's nothing wrong if I say that.
03:30I'm not saying there's something wrong.
03:32Wait a minute.
03:33I'm not saying there's something wrong.
03:36This is my question.
03:38Therefore,
03:39you're talking to the rich
03:42and you're saying to the gamblers,
03:44don't gamble, just pray.
03:47Am I right or wrong?
03:49Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:50That's what I'm saying.
03:51That means, you also mentioned there
03:53what you're saying.
03:55Do you think that Sir Raquel Lopez,
03:58who lied to tell you this,
04:00traveled from Cebu?
04:03She left her family
04:06and traveled here
04:10just to face you.
04:13She's afraid.
04:15They said,
04:17Baby Rosario told Sir Raquel Lopez,
04:19when you appeared there,
04:21people were afraid.
04:23Am I right?
04:25People left you.
04:26That means,
04:28your presence alone
04:30scares people.
04:32That's what they said.
04:34That's what they said.
04:35They said two things.
04:37They said,
04:38when you go to the grave,
04:40people are afraid
04:42because they're afraid of you.
04:46That's what it means.
04:48What can you say
04:50that what happened is true
04:52because you're the chief of police.
04:54You're the director.
04:56You know what's happening.
04:59Colonel Garma,
05:01we're just naive to see God here
05:04and to know who should be responsible here.
05:08These people are dead.
05:11That's why I'm telling you,
05:13you're crying here
05:15because you'll leave your son.
05:17Your son is alive.
05:19These people are dead.
05:21Look,
05:23I received a letter here.
05:25Urgent motion
05:27to allow Ruina Garma
05:30to undergo medical check-up.
05:32It's written here.
05:34What does it say here?
05:36Muban's request is premised
05:38on her basic human right to health
05:40and her constitutional right to life.
05:44Do you believe
05:46that they have a constitutional right
05:48to life?
05:50Colonel Garma,
05:51do you believe that?
05:53Yes, Mr. Chair.
05:54You just killed their family.
05:58You just killed their family
06:00and their constitutional right was violated.
06:03Am I right or wrong?
06:05Yes, Mr. Chair.
06:06So that's what it is.
06:07You accept that their constitutional right was violated.
06:11So, Mr. Chair,
06:13here,
06:15I read your right here
06:19and you want us to approve this letter
06:23because you have a right
06:26as provided for by the Constitution.
06:28And our Constitution.
06:32They are the same.
06:34These people also have a right.
06:37What did you do?
06:39You can stop your police.
06:41What did you do
06:43to the other police here?
06:46Huh?
06:48You removed their constitutional right.
06:52We all have that,
06:54Colonel Garma.
06:56Am I right?
06:59Can I explain, Mr. Chair?
07:01What are you going to explain for?
07:03You were asking earlier.
07:05No, I'm asking you
07:07if their constitutional right was violated.
07:11Yes, Mr. Chair.
07:12Okay, that's all.
07:13I want your answer.
07:15Mr. Chair, thank you.
