00:00Malayo pa, pero malayo na. Mahaba pa po ang tatahakin nating landas patungong plenario at patungong senado.
00:17Ngunit hindi na tayo nangangapa. Marami na tayong naungkat. Marami na tayong naisiwalat. At hindi natin hahayaang masayang ang lahat
00:33ng ito.
00:33Kailangang ituloy ang proseso because this is what justice demands.
00:45Because only then can we truly achieve accountability.
00:51Kapag may public official na nagkaroon ng seryosong paratang, huwag nating baliwalain. Huwag nating palampasin.
01:05Kapag may kailangang ipaliwanag, huwag tayong titigil hanggat lumabas ang katotohanan.
01:13Let us pursue this to its logical conclusion. Otherwise, the cycle of impunity will only repeat.
01:27Because we owe it to the next generation of Filipinos to show them that no one, no matter how powerful,
01:38no matter the title, is above the law.
01:44Huwag nating hayaang masanay ang ating bansa sa kultura ng pagkalimot.
01:52Because if we let up now, we fail the very constitution we swore to protect.
02:03Let us therefore move forward with heavy hearts but clear minds.
02:12If the vice president is guilty, let the truth convict her.
02:19If she is innocent, let the process clear her.
02:27But let it be done through the light of justice, not the shadows of silence.
02:37Ituloy na natin ang huling hakbang ng yugtong ito para sa katotohanan, para sa sambayanang Pilipino.
02:49Steem colleagues, beloved countrymen, malayo pa, pero kahit papaano, sa totoo lang, malayo na.
03:04Maraming salamat po.
03:19Maraming salamat po.
