00:45We lost our great idol Ruby Perez.
00:49We lost many people, many neighbors of this country.
00:52I am very sad and I want to tell the owners of the discotheque that they should have seen if there was a problem,
00:59they should have warned people.
01:01When God commands, God commands, but perhaps this could have been prevented, all those deaths, there was a failure.
01:08If I had been there and see a little piece of ceiling fall on my table,
01:13I would have gone up and taken the microphone and would have asked what was was going on,
01:18because we are God's children and we are all going to die but not like that.
01:23I am really hurt about all those people who have died and their families.
01:26I give them my heartfelt condolences and hope tragedies like that don't happen again,
01:32because we have really lost too many, too many families and too many things.
