00:00I just would like to thank the QATCOM committee for giving me the opportunity to be able to tell my own story and to tell the truth.
00:12And I hope that this will give me better peace of mind, especially for my immediate family, my wife and my kids.
00:27So, I hope that this is an opportunity for me to be able to live normally as an ordinary person.
00:43Mayor, do you have a message to former President Duterte?
00:49It's just like, because of the program, it's good.
01:00However, I hope that next time.
01:05It was very clear that before, when my name was mentioned, I was not in the list.
01:14So, this has really destroyed my life.
01:22So, anyway, I really have to live for me to be able to tell my story.
01:32And I forgive everybody who has wronged me for being a Christian.
01:41And I just want to move on with my life as normal as I could.
01:45So, Mayor, are you not filing a criminal complaint against President Duterte?
01:49Personally, I just want to go back to my normal life.
01:58But this, I have to discuss with the prodding of Congressmen in the hearing that maybe we should file cases.
02:09I have to discuss it with my legal team.
02:13But personally, I really have to move on as soon as possible.
02:17Mayor, a question from our Iloilo correspondent.
02:21Since you mentioned that you want to go back to your normal life,
02:24does this mean that you're going to go back to politics?
02:27Are you going to run for Iloilo Mayor?
02:29Or do you have any plans for 2025?
02:33After what happened to me, I planned.
02:37Before this thing happened to me, I was very known as a planner.
02:45I always planned everything in my life, including my life.
02:50One realization is that it's not me who should plan my life.
02:56It's God.
02:58So now, I totally surrender my plans, myself, to God.
03:05And whatever He plans, I will just have to follow.
03:08So right now, I have no, I have not even thought about it.
03:14But again, I couldn't say no because if God plans it, I will obey and I will follow.
