00:00This is a process.

00:01Much of what we've heard are allegations.

00:04Si Ganyan nagdako eh.

00:06Si Ganyan binigyan ko ng pera.

00:07Si Ganyan.

00:08We have to prove it.

00:09You don't want to go after people who are innocent.

00:12Now, we know many of these people are not innocent.

00:15But if you're going to bring them to court,

00:18you must have a very strong case.

00:20Look, anong mangyayari?

00:21Minadaliin natin.

00:22Hindi kompletong ebidansya natin.

00:24Malabo yung ebidansya natin.

00:25Pero pinilit natin.

00:27Natalo yung kaso.

00:28Can you imagine?

00:30I think that would be much, much, much worse.

00:33But I think that's also something that the people

00:35who march on September 21 have to kind of understand also, right?

00:38Yeah, but you know, it's understandable, didn't it?

00:41Because it's the sins committed.

00:42And I call them sins.

00:44It's no longer mistakes or corruption.

00:46The sins they committed, it's hard to swallow.

00:50I understand that.

00:51But if we are a nation, a people of laws,

00:55we have to follow the law.

00:57Otherwise, whatever we do, it's not legitimate.

01:01You're going to kill that.

01:03Okay, but you're saying,

01:04you don't have any evidence.

01:05You don't have any evidence.

01:07You don't have any evidence.

01:08We have to be thorough also.

01:10If we're actually going to punish these people,

01:13we have to be very, very clear about what we are doing.

01:16And we have to be very, very clear that we go after the guilty ones.

01:21You know, because some of the guilty ones,

01:22they're trying to derail the system.

01:26I know, of course.

01:26It's not me, it's like this.

01:29Let's make sure that we get that.

01:33And confuse the issues, right?

01:36Well, that's one of the political and legal strategies

01:39that people employ.

01:40Yeah.
