00:00I come before you today not merely to recount my sufferings, but to highlight a critical
00:07flaw in our system, one that allows law enforcement agencies to be weaponized for political purposes,
00:17that illegal drug trade stems from the ills of our society, from poverty to corruption
00:23of government institutions, including our law enforcement agencies.
00:30By using state institutions to carry out personal vendettas or silence perceived enemies undermine
00:40the foundation of justice and democracy in our country.
00:45No individual should be allowed to wield such unchecked authority regardless of their position or power.
01:15Law enforcement agencies need to be strengthened so that they are not simply used or influenced
01:26by politics.
01:27They should be able to serve with integrity, without bias, and with respect for the law.
01:36Ang panawagan po namin sa inyo, manguna po ang ustisya at magkaroon ng reforma sa ating
01:45sistema, particular sa pamamalakad ng ating law enforcement agencies.
01:52Accusations must be duly validated and authenticated first before any public announcement to avoid
02:03and destroying the honor, reputation, and good image of hardworking and innocent persons.
02:12Higit sa lahat panagutin ang mga umaabuso sa kapangyarihan.
02:21Sana ang nadanasan naming pagihirap na durog na durog, persecution, trauma, atsaka walang-wala
02:38ay hindi po maranasan ng iba.
02:50At mananaig ang katotohanan at hindi ang pamumulitika o personal na interest ng ilan.
03:09Pasensya na po.
03:13Maraming salamat po sa quad committee dahil pitong taon po.
03:24Mahirap talaga po.
03:27Maraming salamat dahil nabigyan niyo po kami, ako, at ang iba pang mga biktima
03:35ng pagkakataon nalinisin ang aming mga pangalan at ng mga minamahal ko,
03:44Ilongo at ilo-ilo na tinawag po shabolized.
03:50Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat.
03:53Dakbanwas ang ilo-ilo.
03:54Bugal ko.
03:55My city.
03:56My pride.
03:57I am ilo-ilo.
03:58Proud to be Filipino po.
