00:00 Department of National Defense Secretary Guilbo Chudoro
00:04 defended the military's actions against two environmental activists
00:08 who accused them of abduction and coercion.
00:13 According to Secretary Chudoro,
00:15 the accusation against the soldiers is a false accusation
00:19 and they have solid evidence regarding this.
00:22 For the record, the activists committed a serious crime
00:26 and they are now studying how to file perjury charges against them.
00:32 Even though the head is behind the back,
00:34 this is just a cover-up.
00:36 The DND is also targeting the accused
00:38 to serve as a lesson and not to repeat it.
00:41 There were many witnesses when they surrendered.
00:47 Now, they suddenly turned their backs.
00:49 So we are studying the possibility of filing perjury charges against them.
00:56 The Chief Public Attorney, Atty. Acosta, was there
01:00 and he assured that there was no coercion.
