00:30You're not allowed to go in.

00:32I'm not going in.

00:40I think he's scared.

00:42What can you say about that?

00:44He doesn't want to go in.

00:46No, we don't know yet.

00:48We're waiting.

00:50Maybe you don't want to go in.

00:52We'll see.

00:54You're not allowed to go in.

00:56No, we're not.

00:58We're waiting.

01:02Sir, what's the update?

01:04Are you still updated?

01:06No, I'm not yet.

01:08I'm going in to let you know.

01:10I'm going out to report to you.

01:14You know...

01:18You're more diligent

01:20than the military law

01:22during the time of President Marcos.

01:24You know that.

01:26Why, sir?

01:28Because at that time,

01:30I was a lieutenant.

01:32All the detainees

01:34were arrested.

01:36They were pushed.

01:40Now,

01:42we can go inside

01:44the detention center

01:46to communicate with our clients.

01:48Now, you can't go in.

01:50The gates are closed.

01:52But earlier, I attempted

01:54to go in.

01:56That's why it's more worth it.

01:58Sir, have you read the warrant?

02:00No, I haven't read it yet.

02:02No, I haven't read it yet.

02:04You said there's a warrant.

02:06But I haven't read it yet.

02:10But you know,

02:12this warrant was issued

02:14It's coming from a spurious

02:16and illegal source.

02:18Because

02:20the issuing institution

02:22is

02:24spurious

02:26in the sense

02:28that it has no jurisdiction.

02:30It's easy to say,

02:32if you don't have jurisdiction,

02:34as President Marcos Jr. said,

02:36you don't have jurisdiction,

02:38we won't cooperate with you.

02:40You don't have authority

02:42or power

02:44to our people here.

02:46But what they're doing now,

02:48they're circumventing

02:50the policy.

02:52Because what they're doing now,

02:54they said,

02:56the Interpol.

02:58The Interpol has no authority.

03:00Because the Interpol

03:02is implementing

03:04the warrant

03:06coming from

03:08an institution without jurisdiction.

03:10It's easy to say,

03:12it's like they're issuing an agent,

03:14the principal's agent.

03:16If the principal has no jurisdiction,

03:18the agent has jurisdiction.

03:20That's why it can't be

03:22illegal.

03:24Why is it illegal?

03:26Aside from having no jurisdiction.

03:28We are a free country.

03:30We're a free

03:32democratic country.

03:34We have our own constitution.

03:36We have our own laws.

03:38We have our own legal system.

03:40Their working is a very robust

03:42legal system.

03:44Now here comes a foreign court

03:46issuing a warrant

03:48of arrest of a Filipino

03:50citizen.

03:52Eh,

03:54the constitution says

03:56that the primary duty

03:58of a president

04:00and a government

04:02is to protect the

04:04rights, interests, security

04:06of the country.

04:08Eh,

04:10they're violating

04:12the law.

04:14So instead,

04:16you're asserting

04:18the rights,

04:20you're asserting

04:22sovereignty,

04:24you're asserting

04:26territorial integrity

04:28by assisting to the arrest

04:30of a Filipino citizen.

04:32We are Filipino citizens, ordinarily.

04:34Every president of the country.
