00:00How many will vote in support of the National Rally for Peace of the Church Of Christ?
00:06This is Daniel Manalastas' report.
00:10In the middle of the National Rally for Peace of the Religious Group of the Church Of Christ,
00:14how many will vote to express their sentiments?
00:18Senate President Francis Escudero believes that there should be no debate
00:22if the prayer rally is for the peace and unity of the country.
00:27Who said that they don't want this?
00:29This is also Escudero's position on the issue and most likely,
00:32this is also what the majority of Filipinos want.
00:35For Senator Aimee Marcos,
00:37the peace rally is not excluded in the separation of the Church and the State.
00:42It is also not prohibited to hold a peace rally.
00:46In fact, this is strengthening the freedom of expression that is part of our law.
00:53Some congressmen respect the INC's decision.
00:57Yes, we are fighting for the peace rally of the INC.
01:00All of this is the right of our citizens to have a good expression of their feelings.
01:09So, the INC will live.
01:11Well, in the INC, especially our brethren in the INC,
01:17I respect your right to express yourselves on this day.
01:25So, it is the right of each individual to express their feelings.
01:32Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino also supports the INC Peace Rally.
01:37It is a timely initiative and an important reminder
01:40for the discussion of peace in the face of the problems facing the country.
