00:00The bullies who laid their hands and beat up a mute and disabled guy inside of us have something serious coming to them.

00:06The disabled and mute guy they beat up is on the early faces of post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD,

00:12and his parents and loved ones want payback pretty badly.

00:15As we hear more from our Noel Calacay.

00:20The culprits must be placed behind bars.

00:23This is the goal of the family of alias MacMac, a person with disability or PWD, who was mauled inside a bus on June 9,

00:32according to their lawyer, attorney Angelo D'Alban.

00:36He says that they have already identified some of the suspects based on the shared viral video.

00:43So far, meron na kaming na-identify na tatlo, at meron pa kaming dalawang iniimbestigahan yung kanilang identity kung sino sila.

00:54At kapag yan ay aming na-call up na, then ready na kami.

00:59He stresses that the fact that alias MacMac bites someone inside the bus should not have been reason enough for several people

01:08to beat him up, with one of them even using a teaser gun.

01:13He also says that it's very obvious in MacMac's physical appearance that he is a PWD.

01:20He cannot express himself, and at the same time because of his physical limitations,

01:28maliit yung maling kinita niyang kanyang katawan at hindi rin siya nakakapagsalita.

01:32The complainant's camp is moving that the case they will actually file.

01:37Ang biktima ay halos nasa 25 years old na, pero bakit child?

01:41Kasi under the law, pag merong intellectual or disability yung bata, yung tao, he could still be considered as a child.

01:50The lawyer also insists that the family of alias MacMac will not agree to any form of settlement

01:56and is determined to pursue the case.

02:00Definitely hindi, kasi nakausap ko yung family, hindi sila makikipagsettle

02:04because first, there is really an abuse.

02:08Second, this is a criminal action.

02:10The brother of alias MacMac confirms that the incident caused trauma to his brother.

02:16Naging trauma po sa kanya yung pagsakay po ng bus.

02:21Ayaw niya na pong sumakay dahil may sinasabi siya minsan na bawal na daw po kasi may nabupugpug.

02:32Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development or DSWD

02:37has already extended assistance to alias MacMac such as providing of psychologists

02:43and financial assistance under the livelihood program of the agency.

02:48Ang FO3, nag-extended sila ng cash assistance para doon sa pang-araw-araw nilang pangangailangay.

02:54Ngayon, mag-undergo nga po ng psychological evaluation ng bata

02:58at ito rin makikita kung saan tayo pwedeng pumasok.

03:01The family of alias MacMac, according to their lawyer,

03:05wants to express gratitude to the national government for the help provided to them.

03:11Napaka-matulungin ni DOT R. Sec. Vinson nung isang araw.

03:15Ngayon naman si DSWD tumutulong sa pamilya lalo na sa mga assistance.

03:20According to Atty. D. Alban, a child abuse case is a grave offense because it's a criminal case.

03:28Once one is found guilty, the suspects might face a sentence of six years' imprisonment.

03:35The family of alias MacMac wants this incident will serve as a lesson and awareness to the public

03:42so that the persons with disabilities can have a freedom to live and have a safe space wherever they go.

03:51Noel Talakay from the National TV Network for New and Better Philippines.
