00:00Independent of the plunder, drugs, and other heinous crimes.
00:08Murder.
00:09Yeah, the crime of murder.
00:11Right now, we filed a bill on extrajudicial killing.
00:15And we're in the process of really discussing this in the committee.
00:19So we can really define what extrajudicial killing means vis-a-vis or in comparison to the crime of murder.
00:28So is this still under the 19th Congress?
00:31We're hoping that this will pass the 19th Congress.
00:35If not, we hope that this will be refiled in the next Congress.
00:40For certain heinous crimes.
00:43What are those heinous crimes?
00:45But I think, in the course of the deliberation, maybe we can also increase the number of drug-related crimes and plunder.
00:55Because I think there's a strong sentiment among the people that if the death penalty is revoked, the crime of plunder or corruption will also be included.
01:06I don't think it's problematic.
01:08I don't think it's a crime.
01:10It's just a graph and a conversation.
01:16The graph is just biased by raciality.
01:19The raciality of the graph is not there.
01:21That's correct.
01:23That is why plunder is the most logical crime to be included in the imposition of the penalty of death.
01:32Because there's a clear benefit to the player or the actor.
01:40And of course, I think it is one serious step to really send a signal that corruption should not be taken lightly.
01:51Corruption should not be taken or should not be tolerated, so to speak.
01:57But more than that, of course, the crime of drug-related.
02:03The one who smuggles, imports illegal drugs and manufactures or produces drugs.
02:12That should really be revoked for the death penalty.
02:17So code by firing squad for the corrupt officials?
02:25Those nations with death penalty implements death, implements the penalty via the most acceptable and humane way.
02:41This is lethal injection.
02:44For us, personally, I don't really mind in whatever mode they want to implement the penalty.
02:52But if there's one, we can just reimpose it.
02:56We can just return the death penalty to the crimes of corruption and plunder.
03:06Plunder is plunder.
03:08So code by firing squad?
03:10Well, if that is going to be the accepted mode of the majority of the members of Congress, both in the House and in the Senate, then so be it.
03:21Because if that is acceptable, we have to follow the decision of the majority.
03:27That's one thing. It's also good to discuss and study what is acceptable to the people.
03:39Earlier this morning, at 9 o'clock, he was brought to Station 6 of the Quezon City Police.
03:46There are still supporters of Grijaldo on social media.
03:55You're still being directed on social media by Grijaldo.
03:59What are your steps towards Grijaldo?
04:03Because until now, he still hasn't spoken.
04:06He still hasn't spoken to you.
04:09Well, you know, that's his right.
04:11If he doesn't want to speak, if he doesn't want to participate, that's his right.
04:15We won't force him.
04:17But you know, we will exert all efforts to extract information from him.
04:22If you remember, yesterday, he was asked questions related to his statement in the Senate.
04:33Related to his affidavit that he submitted to the Senate.
04:36We didn't go outside of the affidavit that he submitted.
04:41He still doesn't want to answer.
04:43What does that tell us?
04:44To us, majority members of the committee, he's hiding something.
04:50He's hiding something and he's not telling the truth.
04:53That's why our view is that if he doesn't cooperate and doesn't tell the truth,
05:00it will only strengthen the belief of many that he's lying and his motive is to destroy the members,
05:13especially the two chairmen of the Quad Committee.
05:30You
