00:00May I ask Ms. Garma, again, why were you crying as you were reading your affidavit earlier?
00:07Because, Mr. Chair, it took me more than a week to make some reflections,
00:28and it's very difficult to have the courage.
00:37So, although I have decided, I think it has something to do with my courage to come out.
00:46What convinced you to come out?
00:50As I said, I made some reflections, and I have to go back to the values that I always say to my son,
01:03and even to my relatives, I would always say the truth, because the truth will set you free.
01:12And that was the same statement that my daughter told me before I appeared before this Quadcom,
01:20Mr. Chair. So, there was a time when I was inside the detention facility of the Congress
01:30to reflect, Mr. Chair.
01:34I commend you for your courage, Ms. Garma.
01:37And you also mentioned earlier that you were afraid for your life.
01:43Were there threats made against you?
01:47Mr. Chair, right now there is no threat, but knowing the capability of those persons that
01:55I have mentioned, they are in position, some of them are in position.
02:00They have the assets, capability, and influence, Mr. Chair.
02:05At ngayon po, I'm just a mere, ordinary person lang po ako.
02:11I don't have position, I don't have power, ganun din po ang mga relatives ko.
02:17And sino ba namang hindi rin matakot, which is normal po.
