00:00 Some children in the Senate told the story of their abuse of their children inside a tent in Quezon City.
00:07 This is the story of Daniel Manalastas.
00:09 The Senate heard the stories of the children who were abused by their children in Gentle Hands, Inc.
00:19 when they were approached by the National Authority for Child Care.
00:22 The children told the story of a man who was abusing them by punching, kicking, or even pulling.
00:32 Who was the one who punched you?
00:34 Me.
00:36 Who was the one who kicked you?
00:38 Me.
00:40 Who was the one who kicked you?
00:42 Me.
00:44 Who was the one who punched you?
00:46 Me.
00:48 Who was the one who kicked you?
00:50 Me.
00:52 The one who kicked us was the one who was spreading our hair. When I touched him, he had a stick like a stick.
01:05 He was a chairman of the Senate.
01:07 He was a football player in the World Cup.
01:09 He was a football player in the World Cup.
01:11 He was a football player in the World Cup.
01:13 He was a champion in the World Cup.
01:15 He was a champion in the World Cup.
01:17 He was a champion in the World Cup.
01:19 According to Gentle Hands, they do not allow this type of abuse.
01:25 All of these allegations I have not heard of.
01:27 Listening to it now, I would have to confront Kuya Eddie himself and ask him if this is true.
01:35 Because if this is true, I told her that what Kuya Eddie is doing is not allowed.
01:43 He has to stop right then and there.
01:45 Those are only two incidents that I know of.
01:47 But in the audio that was heard by Gentle Hands, what the children are saying is different.
01:54 They're trying to make stories so we cannot go back in the Gentle Hands.
01:58 What stories do you mean?
02:00 Like they're forcing us to say.
02:02 Are they hurting in the Gentle Hands? They're going to say it again and again.
02:07 Because of the inconsistent statement in the hearing, according to the Commission on Human Rights, if the situation is like this...
02:14 What we are doing in the investigation office is that we adopt the child witness procedure initiated by the Supreme Court Circular.
02:26 That is how we are investigating and we are following it.
02:30 Because if there is a case, the evidence we will get is admissible.
02:41 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian is not an advocate for their people.
02:46 Our social workers and our child psychologists and our case managers in our care facilities in no way will influence the child to say things.
02:54 These are dedicated social workers, case managers, house parents.
02:59 I would again be remiss by not saying this for the record.
03:03 The video is there, true.
03:05 But again, there will be a better explanation to that.
03:11 Not the committee, but to somehow insinuate that our people in the care facilities were teaching them.
03:16 Our social workers will not do that, who are making sacrifices every day.
03:22 In the last Executive Session of the committee, some more sensitive issues were discussed in the hearing.
03:29 Daniel Manalastas for the Bayan.
