00:18Nung nangyari yan, when we were able to achieve that, we continued to work with them. It was still with the Widodo government at the time, kung paano, how we will do it para pauwiin.
00:30Mabuti na lang that our relations with Indonesia, our relations with then President Widodo and all of his people, together with our relations now with the new President, President Prabowo, maganda naman ang ating relasyon, nakahanap sila, gumawa sila ng paraan.

01:30... As I said, we have been working on this for all the previous President, hindi lang ako, 10 years na ito. Pero ang nagawa natin, napakommute natin ang sentensya niya from death sentence to life imprisonment. Tapos ang nasunod doon ay napauwi na natin. We will have to decide what will happen next.
02:00... This is the first time this has happened. So everything is on the table."
