00:00The people will not be defeated. The ruling party will not be defeated.

00:08Duterte will not be defeated.

00:10Ikulong, ikulong.

00:22Yesterday, when I found out that Luberte was going to be released, I was cooking.

00:30Because my children work from home, I have to cook for them.

00:35But I didn't go to them first. I just cried.

00:40Because I was happy that there was no discipline.

00:44I was happy that somehow, we were able to give birth to our child.

00:50I hope that Luberte will be released.

00:54That's what I really feel. I'm very happy.

00:58But the happiness is not yet there.

01:01Because there are still a lot of processes to go through.

01:04My dream is to go abroad.

01:08We don't feel tired to hear justice.

01:14Our family is very big.

01:18I can't stop talking

01:23so that I can use justice for my child and for the other victims.

01:28This is a demonstration that when you go back to Duterte,

01:32the law is in our court.

01:35And if it's said that it's prohibited, it's prohibited and you can be punished.

01:39So for the prosecutors or those who are in the position

01:43where they think that they can't stop this because it's very powerful,

01:48the ICC can do it.

01:50For the people, the simple people who are aggravated,

01:55the ICC can put Duterte in jail.
