00:00It's understandable that they will comment on the fact that you can't change the status quo of those who are affected.

00:09And of course, those who are affected here are what we call the gold chasers.

00:13Because what you're doing, as the chairperson of the time of the Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs,

00:18is to ensure that our seafarers are protected.

00:22This is exactly why ABP is running.

00:26Because they don't pay attention to our problems.

00:30In fact, right now, there are more than 100 municipalities all over the country that don't have a fire truck.

00:37We also have a lot of barangays that don't have ambulances.

00:41This is one of the things that we want to improve.

00:45There was a time when the majority of the people were there.

00:47But when Aroyo was there, we were the majority.

00:50There was a time when Garcina was there.

00:52There was a time when NBN-CTE was there.

00:54We died because that's how independent the people were.

00:57The same goes for Aquino.

00:59When he was the majority, we were the majority.

01:01But there was a time when we were hit by a car, a duck, a pork barrel.

01:05We died.

01:06That's probably the track record that you expect from us.

01:09Whether we become majority or minority in the House of Representatives,

01:15we will always be independent.

01:17And we will never allow ourselves to be beholden to whoever sits in California.

01:23I'm a very strong man.

01:26And it never moved when I was during my incumbency.

01:30So if you ask me what made me absolutely strong, it's my dream.

01:35I'm a person of knowledge.

01:37How they can allow Filipinos who go through the dark ages to revolt.

01:46I don't want to go back.

01:49I'm a person of knowledge.

01:51The divorce law will free all men.

01:54Not women.

01:56If you ask me what my reaction is, I'm sorry for the women.

02:00Filipinos, we are women and men.

02:03I hope the Senate does not approve it.

02:05And I am talking to all the Senators.

02:08I could.

02:09Senators who are receptive.

02:11Senators who are practicing.

02:14Not to allow themselves to be used by the anti-life forces of the world.

02:20And Filipinos are on double divorce.

02:22For what?

02:24The Philippines is the only country that still has no abortion.

02:29We should be proud that we have known such anti-laws in the past.
