00:00On the day of freedom, freedom is also given to more than 100 individuals from the Philippines.
00:06Their story of freedom is in the words of Oscar Oida.
00:13After 21 years in the Philippines,
00:16his freedom has already walked 82 years.
00:21His name is Lolo Goryo, not his real name.
00:24It's hard here inside.
00:26It's already hard.
00:28Even if it's just one meal, I'll eat outside.
00:32He's happy, especially when he sees his relatives.
00:36But he also feels it early in the morning.
00:40I'm thankful that I can see my children.
00:42I haven't seen them for a long time.
00:44It's hard for my wife. She died a long time ago.
00:47When I went out, I was blind. My wife died.
00:50He and 125 other Filipinos were freed from the Philippines.
00:55The day of freedom has a new meaning.
00:58Some were given conditional pardon, probation, parole, or the sentence was over.
01:05But others were acquitted.
01:09On the day of freedom, we were given freedom.
01:16We are thankful that we can go home to our families.
01:24But it's not only every June 12,
01:26but it's also a part of the whole year of prosecution
01:29so that the prisons can be expanded.
01:31Especially for those in prison, they should be free for a long time.
01:36It's a big thing.
01:37It determines who is qualified to be released,
01:39who is already served a sentence,
01:41who is qualified for parole.
01:43It's a big thing.
01:45It's a big thing for all the prisons.
01:49At maximum, it's only 26,000.
01:52It's slowly expanding,
01:54and no matter what,
01:56they will no longer be confined.
01:58By 2028, we will no longer be here.
02:01We will be transferred to different prison and penal farms.
02:06While the prison is being reduced,
02:08the lack of protection is being increased.
02:12That's why the promotion is being postponed
02:14to 71 prisons of the Bureau of Corrections.
02:18For GMA Integrated News,
02:21I'm Oscar Oida.
