Salvador penhallow welcome to conflict thank you for having me your president says hes old and tired and hes been talking again about stepping down in february said ive no more ambition who needs a president whos got no more ambition person more of an expression a little. Were just a success for ration and disgust over certain things that do not come out as he expected but is not stepping down who finishes turn he says guys i want you there no im thinking of stepping down because he just wants he has one so tell the people that hes not the kind of politician that will cling to opposition so you cant believe what he says what you really everybody is entitled to express once frustration or express variation on a certain sort of companies doing a cause that lead in february dated august says is the die again that is a style that is why he wants his content its not just style is it you either believe him or not he would have not won the presidency of that is not his style cursing is one of them being very brutally frank as another in his office in one thousand speech he said that he would hardly make a dent in his remaining four years in office if so so who needs that either if if the corruption continues if the drug menace is not stop then he would be right to say hes already failed to deliver on his promise to clear up the drug problem in three to six months the zeros there this was easy it was only after this year and there are various six months the drugs mechanism is being slowly dismantled he said that clear it up in three to six months all because according to what was this was this hyperbole is aware of this it was his style when he was still a mayor he thought that the problem was not that us he realized when he came into power but all of the resources that it is not here overestimated hes only been with nawin all reached the point do you all very still made of the problem or underestimated the problem rather. How much of what he says these days can you actually believe that i mean ive seen you wheeled out in the press and television to explain the can really say what he said he said the latest example was june twenty second when he caused an uproar by saying god is stupid it is a god is stupid it was only questioned the logic the end of theory question he who dont read the lips of the president you read his actions says bad language when i read the quote the quote was about adam and eve in the garden of eden and he said what he did was even its the apple then she wakes up adam so adamant the apple there malice was born who is this stupid because at least are asking the largest to legions want to go into the crib the writers of the bible that created a story its not god who created the story remember it was not god who came down and told us this is how i created you guys he did say that they created the bible and they gave us a serial creation now hes questioning the logic behind it because he says you make a perfect situation and youre trying to destroy yourself its not just the logic is he hes he said he doubled down a couple of days later he said i didnt say that my god is stupid i said your god is not my god because your god is stupid yes because youll be ships reacted yes because it must because abusive they build and offensive because they didnt get exactly what he wanted to tell them if you are the christian groups or the catholic why should you be feel offended when your aunt here is being questioned you explain to the person questioning the russian r. B. I. That you dont be you dont feel church wasnt via the catholic bishops conference of the philippines issued a sermon criticizing people in power who boast of their own wisdom and blasts fim our god as stupid so theyre accusing him of blasphemy. By your argument is wrong. They say they misunderstood the president in fact he said several days later i am all just so my god i was telling my god im not referring to any good size zero zero he had to apologize so he did say it is mine it is thoughts that was explain it to a brother visitor of a one of the christian groups mr parlow is he a killer your president no hes not sorry is against killers youve you have explained some of what he says is hyperbole exaggeration thats how you described his claim that he had roamed the streets of davos city here and he was mare and personally killed people this was an interview you gave february last year but thats not hyperbole he said he killed p. C. s but out of selfdefense those killers were killing people and he was part of the operation how many is he killed he has not said so to my eyes he went out and killed people did he is self defense yes how many i dont have to ask your lawyer was never investigated or easy too powerful to investigate was investigated by the u. S. Followed not to be guilty but human rights did that. What about the police was never investigated for murder by the Police Nobody complain you rather they object their dare you victims where you notice country there is a rule of law and we follow certain processes you have to follow the rule you file a complaint the preliminary investigations conducted by the prosecution to determine probable cause there is then a case is filed in Court Without that you cannot assist you said he killed in self defense he said when he was sixteen that he killed a man for looking at him the wrong way on either side of the above do you even know if he did kill everybody here are that its only now that im hearing anyway anyone ever bothered to find out whether that was true no i dont think so because i had never heard of money. But i did hear but no one interested in the truth anymore in this administration with him whether he could whether he killed on the road whether he killed a man when he was sixteen berkeley though people are not interested you are the one injures or why dont you conduct your own on investigation he was in fact elected on the back of a problem overwhelmingly and that on the on the problem back of a promise to kill was me he said when i stated ill stop criminality ill stop criminality and if i have to kill you ill kill you personally it means that he will go to the ends of the earth to pursue you if you commit crimes in this country it means you cant i guess that again dont you ever take me i dont think you have to take this here on face value you dont they dont take him at face you dont think him literally is a lawyer here you must always remember hes a lawyer and also noisy r. T. L. In fact he works within the concept of the law we cant kill out of selfdefense yes. That was another big promise he couldnt deliver on what didnt stop criminality his suffering it he said my chase against graft and corruption seems to be endless and it says contaminated almost all Government Departments and offices thats not a claim of success is it thats not a kind of clearing i was a memory of six years to do that is only the second year in us five so many officials including relatives friends Fraternity Brothers and acquaintances so what what can you ask of the man no president has ever done that you defended him in twenty sixteen over his plan to pay bounties to police and military for killing or bringing in drug dealers you said the law allowed the policy under the concept of citizens arrest of course your child wasnt about arresting citizens its about shooting them as there were no questions asked about whether they got the right person or not the accusation is the policeman killed them without any resistance but the facts is not us they claim to be or are not as they claim to be last year Human Rights Watch said the Philippine National police and its agents had repeatedly carried out extra duty to szell killings of drug suspects and then falsely claimed selfdefense you always deny this you always deny this but i still do then you should have do you we would have a complaint filed against the policeman now there are cases filed against a policeman but due process would have to go true there facing charges in court and there is trial but last october in response to a public outcry about the killings especially of children your president removed the police from the anti drug operations and assigned the p. T. A. The Philippine DrugEnforcement Agency just for a few weeks so there was some substance to it otherwise you wouldnt have taken that action would be not against the police the scion of p. V. But in coordination with the policeman so there was not really a change to results from your policy your drug war so far your police have killed more than four thousand two hundred seventy nine people during their operations in july twenty sixth seen and may this year and the human Rights Groups that you hate as many say as many as Twelve Thousand the Un Human Rights Group you know dispute what they claim but they say as many as Twelve Thousand have actually died of aids of s. Released hired killers drug syndicates etc exaggerated that killing is so much easier than toting trials and that no killing happens because there is resistance to police authorities. Otherwise there would be knock only under those circumstances yes absolutely and the other fact of your policy is that the murder rate is actually going up in the country maybe because people are following the president ial role modelling that all marketers happen because of certain reasons coming from those who are behind that could be personally it could be gangs gangland style like drug lords killing is are there when theyre turned suctions and the murder rate in metro manila was up by around one hundred twelve percent from july twenty sixth seen to june twenty eight hundred those are the Police Figures that were issued in july this year murder is only part of a kind of crimes im saying that the crime rate im just told you looting everything every kind of crime has been reduced and as going up when he when he was running i mean theres no accountability is there theres no accountability there is accountability on the part of those who murdered the president its not a president when he was running for president mr deterred he was quite specific on the issue of accountability he promised hed give himself a members of the Security Services in unity from prosecution and his own words were pardon given to roger you go to turkey for the crime of multiple murder site roderigo. So that pretty much trashes the idea of any accountability doesnt matter at the top of the constitution and the president has the absolute power to pardon now he tells the public as well as the police but if you do Police Operations within the context of the law then i will do everything to protect you but if you do not in his speech in his first son of species said i have declared war against the drug lords. But Police Officers who abuse this of will have hell to pay because you are worse than criminality its up that was directed to the police and you seriously think your police care whether theyve killed the guilty or innocent person of course so bad is your police spade view of the last year you were forced to go to South Carolina recent police bad elements yes last year you were forced to go to south korea to apologize for a serious crime committed by your anti drug forces the kidnapping and murder of a south korean businessman g. It be jew even you called it a dastardly crime but that is the noble gesture on the part of the government holy spirit is expressing ones apology she was kidnapped by members of your police Anti Illegal Drugs Group in angeles. He was then strangled inside camp crummy the main headquarters of the Philippine NationalPolice Obviously doing it in the main headquarters meant that they werent scared of being found out this was the business is usually just remember this is business as usual once you must remember the worst crimes are committed in any part of the country the best of countries in the world crimes are committed by even the police force of those who are talking about your police yes but youre trying to generalize i am giving you a specific circumstance where this crimes are also their case lazy really in the celebrated in their main headquarters at no point did they seem to have been worried or tool that they had to deal with it i will tell you why they didnt even see lisle i will tell you why they did it because if i were the murderer i would have done it there you know why because nobody would think that kind can be committed inside the p. And p. And they can get away with it but they didnt get away with it there now here is a way yes theyre now in detention the other way of looking at that mr prendergast is there that was so commonplace that nobody would tell it apart from all the other murders that would go and thats another way of looking at it but the fact is theyre in detention and theyre facing. Charges in court and no most likely they will be prosecuted successfully you will you want the philippines to withdraw from the International Criminal courts for many reasons were scared stiff when they announced in february that they had begun a preliminary inquiry narrow your war on drugs it was not there are many reasons why this country has to woodrow first the i. C. C. Has no jurisdiction over the philippines simply because that particular law was not published at all of the constitution because it didnt appear in your prayers yet you must remember that the constitution imposes certain requirements before a law is made valid and effective that was not done here number two the provisions of the i. C. C. Statutes violate our constitution and what one. It does not observe the immunity from suit of the incumbent president has to get a soprano or the only one thats against our constitution number two they do not recognize double jeopardy if one is acquitted there they can still sue the International Division of jurists called your reasons for withdrawing a litany of poorly thought out pseudo legal arguments and so serving statements that focus on president duties fear and resentment at facing questions on the horrific campaign of extrajudicial killings that his government has endured thats their not buying you out is where im sure dont also find your excuse that is one view of a particular Human Rights Group but you must remember there is no pending case in court precisely to determine whether or not there is a valid role so we have to wait for that there is a pending case and a subject history should not even discuss about it while the insults when this criticism while the tough talking i mean this stuff has been doing that as a mayor and he never lost an election he says when a few well you are the e. U. A few to america sons of course his favorite epithet when the few think you win friends and respect with when the filipinos voted him they fucked in all those kind of characteristics of the press and he won overwhelmingly he will you like i love you like that you have it so when we think is it ever you think its what i dont know what i got into you is a statement of fact that has been factored and the populace electoral population of booted him in office now i have been with him and old foreign visits and the leaders of this countries are in awe of the president they praise him publicly or in the United States in europe we all have been there ive telling you where we have been. There are countries particularly china chinas in or of him of course chinas included the president there freezes him in public rarely does this is this is why the chinese in the recent documentary were heard telling one of your military warplanes to get out of the area of the spratly archipelago otherwise they would be responsible for the consequences and your president was so hurt he said in a speech afterwards why do you say nasty words to us we have no intention of attacking he was so shocked that his new friends the chinese couldnt care less what he thought and couldnt care less where your military aircraft go as they were telling you to get well stars of chinas concern theyre doing what they should do is so far as their security of a country is concerned and so far as the press at his costar you cannot do that to us because we will fight you even if we lose in a war you got it you dont do that to us he just meet the norse israeli media is the same thing which i know he said meekly to the child or how can you talk to us why do you say such nasty orderly where was the tough guy then where was the tough you live in a place since you did listen to the last words of their president you dont do that because if you do that ill fight you. You need hear those words you only look at the first opening sentence that where you say that that settled law but that at sara law and all what said a lot was the last sentence but he said because if you do that ill fight you ill declare war and see if you have it we loose you heading towards a dictatorship in this country no i dont think so because mr turton promised it back in october twenty fifth game no one has said he said its going to be a dictatorship its the police and the military who will be the backbone at that time he said about the presidency i will do it if you want to place me there with the solemn pledge to stick to the rules if you dont want that ok look for another son of a bitch when you lose a candidate he said if all things fam. If Congress Opposes things that i want to have it in place then ill declare our religion and go you must remember that this is an election and this particular promise or commitment is or was factored in some of the people voted him in office they are saying its very salient to do that want to have a dictatorship to have a revolutionary government if everything here so in order to resume their share of warning to the president is that feeling good only about his intent get getting rid of your politico and in the hall for instance like Maria Laura Serino the Supreme Court chief justice his fingerprints were all i was getting rid of her because she was a critique of his policy youre not a lawyer i dont know if youre a lawyer but youre not learned this country im a lawyer the constitution assess if you dont find her saying amasses and liabilities you are not qualified to hold office and that was what earle a proven liar he told her i am putting you on notice that i have know your enemy and you have to be out of the supremum court that was a dictator speak lies in it that that was a dictator thats saying this thing im going to get you out and he did that he did not really that was a star really it was aspiration she was ousted not because of him but because she violated a law and the Supreme Court ruled exactly what the Constitution Order seemed to do mr barlow the. Perhaps nothing says more about the character of his ministration than your decision to grant the former and long day dictator Ferdinand Marcos a heros burial at the cemetery of National Heroes this was in november twenty sixth seen a move described by the former chief justice as a grave abuse of discretion whats the aim here to bring brutal tyrants and thieves not going to fashion he was just following what the rules say regarding precedence to be buried and the leaping in of a Banner Cemetery for great man and heroes and martyrs and president s you were at one time a lawyer to the marcos werent you there are t. V. Program in two thousand and six really the marxist Imelda Marcos and now the she was one of the mildest youre the only male then we to respect only to an obvious corpus for city and on a t. V. Program in two thousand and six you denied that the marcos had any ill gotten gain cause the new york acquitted her all what racketeering charges ten years later yeah by twenty sixteen your state had recovered some three point seven billion dollars in assets that marcuss had stolen so your claim was demonstrably false was there not really sure is a perk charges against a marxist until now they have not been convicted there may she she when she was in she was back in elected to the philippine os of representatives she boasted in an interview there is more money that the government isnt aware of we own practically everything in the philippines not because they stole from the government of course they stole from the government says. And you put them in a heros graveyard know that cemetery is for president s heroes and by tears and soldiers including what the last six including a president who over nine years and este tortured an estimated thirty four thousand trade unionists student leaders writers politicians three thousand four hundred twenty eight men and women were dumped dead in Public Places three hundred ninety eight nearly four hundred people simply disappeared under the marcos era and you think this guys a hero the president you have a short memory unprecedented just followed the rule of law sas all president s can be buried regardless of whether they are bad or good the law did that distinguish so we cannot distinguish thats a principle dictum in cost of civil law you talked about the court case in new york in hawaii in one thousand nine hundred ninety five a court found the regime had abused the human rights of thousands whove been tortured and killed and ordered the marcos estate to pay nearly two billion dollars in compensation less than one percent was ever paid so why why closing down no the president ial commission for Good Governance well i mean that is that yeah which it which is going which has been looking for the money you dont think the victims of marcuss reign deserve that money but they were promised in compensation for all that they suffered. The victims they were the ones who fought the government i was an activist during the time of my he was a tyrant i followed the government and when i joined the forces against the marcus government i said to myself if i do this i am open to either i rests or being killed this part of the vocus the or of course you dont ask the government to pay you when you are jailed because youre fighting for a principle youre selling yourself you think further marcus was a hero from whose point of view my office hewas my point of view he did what he had to do is present during the dumping the bodies are the thirty four hundred people in the story its you dont care about that you must remember that the president cannot monitor every movement of every soldier if this soldier made abuses also he didnt know what was going on the buck didnt study because president he knew what was going on think he would allow that. You must remember the people would like to know the close of the president doing things for the president and even the press and this is no it it took us if from their point of view it would be good to depressed they would do it for instance if they feel that this particular person is going to kill the president they would kill him so that the president would be same are you telling me now that you will blame the president for the.
