00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was called by several families of the victims of the EJK
00:05who were responsible for the drug war in the last administration.
00:10The center of the news is from Harley Valbuena.
00:15It's still far, but it's already far.
00:18That's how the heart of a mother is now,
00:20who is in despair because of the loss of her child due to extrajudicial killings.
00:25We feel that this is just the first step, we still have a long way to go.
00:31But we have a strong heart that justice will be served.
00:36She is Gina Dalia Cuartero,
00:38the mother of the drug war victim Jesus Cuartero,
00:42who was killed in 2019 in San Jose del Monte City in Bulacan,
00:47after being arrested by the International Criminal Court
00:51by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:53In the program Mike Abelive,
00:55Gina Cuartero told the story of what happened the day her 26-year-old son died.
01:02They were drinking, and someone called him.
01:09He said that it was really annoying to call him.
01:13He stood up and said goodbye.
01:16He said, I'll leave first, but I'll come back.
01:20But it was already 3 o'clock in the morning,
01:24he didn't come back, and we heard news that someone was killed in our area.
01:32They tried to file a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights,
01:38but it didn't work because no one wanted to investigate.
01:42Although I can't say if it's true that her son was under the influence of illegal drugs,
01:47Gina's mother, who is the victim,
01:49finished her studies and is now a professional.
01:53It was here that Gina Cuartero called President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
01:59to not only answer Duterte,
02:01but also the police generals who carried out the bloody drug war.
02:07We would like to call Mr. President
02:12to give us a chance to answer the police generals,
02:20not only Mr. Duterte,
02:23but also Mr. Bator de la Rosa, the generals who carried out the bloody war.
02:30Gina also called people who were judging her
02:34and other parents of EJK victims.
02:38Don't judge us because you say our children are addicts.
02:44They deserve to die.
02:46We are also weak because I am her parent.
02:51I have no child. My child is not growing up properly.
02:56I just want to be proud that I am not a good mother.
03:02Your victim is a person who has a job.
03:06Dahlia hopes that she will be able to use her position
03:09and her peaceful silence for the love of Jesus.
