Transcript
00:00 We will discuss the arrest of former Negros Oriental representative Arnie Tevez, who was appointed as a mastermind in the murder of Negros Oriental Governor Ruel Digamo and his other son on March 4, 2023.
00:13 We have on the news this afternoon the widow of Governor Digamo and the son of Mayor Janice Digamo. Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.
00:21 Yes, good morning. Good morning to all the listeners and viewers.
00:29 Good morning to you ma'am. What is your reaction to the arrest of former Congressman Tevez?
00:36 It's an answered prayer. We prayed and waited for a long time that this day would come.
00:45 And praise God, he was really arrested. We cannot put our joy. We're really happy about this development.
01:01 What are your next steps when former Congressman Tevez returns to the Philippines? Do you want to see him? Do you have any thoughts to say to him?
01:14 We have nothing to say to him. I think it would be enough for us to be able to see him in jail and once and for all to prove that the jail is for everyone.
01:25 It is not only for the poor, the deprived, the people who are not connected. It is also for people like him.
01:32 I prayed because I wanted to remove their sense of being gods. I really want to see him in jail.
01:44 It hurts and it pains us to see him having money, nothing happened. It is not acceptable to us who are dead.
01:55 To see him in jail will already be something for us.
02:00 Have you talked to other families of other victims?
02:04 Yes. Yesterday, we called and agreed to separate. It is hard to explain. Everyone is happy.
02:20 Our other family members have moved on already. But our resolve to fight and to go on and seek justice, they are not wavering.
02:32 The ray of hope has been added because he was arrested.
02:37 Mayor, do you have information on other accused of killing Governor Digamo?
02:42 Very recently, we have a retrial and the wheels of justice is really grinding. Hopefully, it will really...
02:53 Our wait for justice is not very long. The one with Arnie and the rest of those who have been accused of being mastermind of the case,
03:07 that is what we are waiting for, the other developments. Every time the court calls, it is only the lawyer who comes.
03:15 What will be the effect of the arrest of Congressman Tevez on those who are said to be scared and terrified in the case of your husband?
03:24 Actually, not only in my husband's case, many will really come out.
03:29 In our country, there is a culture of silence. It penetrates the whole province.
03:38 With Arnie in jail and the rest of the accused, I think a lot of them will come out in the open and tell their own stories of abuse and murder.
03:51 This gruesome thing that they have been doing to the people that kept the people silent because they are scared.
04:00 How is the moral and situation in the Middle East now that Congressman Tevez has been arrested?
04:06 Even if he is not yet...
04:09 Our call to Mayor Digamo has been cut. Thank you for the information you have shared with us. Thank you very much, Mayor Digamo.
04:19 Let's go back to Pamplona Mayor Janice Digamo. Mayor?
04:25 Yes.
04:26 We have heard you. How is the moral and situation in the Negros Oriental now that Congressman Tevez has been arrested?
04:35 We are beginning to see... from what we are used to, in the past, you would say that the day or the week is clear if no one dies.
04:56 Now, the situation is not like that. But they are being watched and they should be watched.
05:05 With the capture of Arnie, we are also hoping that the others will also be captured and made answerable for the crimes that they committed.
05:14 We just hope that when the time comes, more people will come out and say their violations in their lives.
05:26 Our communication line is really being cut. Thank you very much, Mayor Digamo.
05:33 We are trying to get the statement of the former Congressman Arnie Tevez.
05:40 We also asked Attorney Ferdinand Tupaso to be our guest this morning, but he is not answering our calls and texts.
