00:00As informal settlers or squatters,
00:03you have shown that you have dignity,
00:06rights,
00:07and humanity that should be respected.
00:09And you said in your answer to the seven questions
00:12that you clarified again
00:14that you have equal rights,
00:17whether you are poor or rich,
00:19whether you have a title on earth or not,
00:21that a legitimate demolition is needed
00:24that should be carried out under the right process.
00:28That a demolition should be carried out with care
00:32and respect for the rights of each affected family.
00:37What did the ruler do when he demolished your place
00:41after you told him to do so?
00:44He didn't listen.
00:46He called his men and said,
00:48start destroying our houses
00:50and destroy my house first
00:52because I am asking for money.
00:55So that's where it started,
00:56that's what you said,
00:57to demolish and destroy their group.
01:00Does he have a motive
01:01to use violence?
01:06Like what I said earlier,
01:07we used to be neighbors and co-workers.
01:11What he did was to deny
01:13what we used to do
01:14when his wife found out that he has a woman.
01:17And he insisted that I spread the story
01:20while in the barangay,
01:21it was proven that I have nothing to do.
01:23But according to your testimony,
01:25that's not enough reason
01:27for them to do what they did.
01:29Using violence is still prohibited.
01:32Destroying is still prohibited.
01:34In your opinion,
01:35what is the reason why he is so strong
01:38to lead in the demolition?
01:40Because what he said,
01:42he just followed the orders of his office.
01:45When he had a connection in the city hall,
01:47he used that
01:49because he was ashamed in the barangay back then
01:51when his clothes were vulgar
01:52as a reason to leave our place.
01:55But in your testimony,
01:58it is clear that the government
02:00is the one who is leaving you.
02:02They are making you feel
02:04that you lost your rights
02:07because of your status in life.
02:09That the families who live in your place
02:12who have their own stories,
02:15dreams,
02:16and loved ones in life
02:18need to leave.
02:22But they did not use
02:23any reasonable way.
02:29We are not good lawyers
02:31for the voiceless and the poor.
02:34We fight for them.
02:36Not everything is right.
02:38It's easy to do.
02:40Sometimes,
02:41this is the most difficult and painful
02:43thing you need to do.
02:46Don't let them do this
02:48to the next victim.
02:50And don't let the person
02:52who did this to you be punished.
02:55Is this the sign, Lord?
02:58Is this the path you want for me?
