00:27How they can live lavishly knowing that their money is blood money.
00:34And to those still in hiding, like Attorney Harry Roque, I say this.
00:42Have the courage to face the consequences of your actions.
00:47It is better to stand and be judged than to live in the shadow of your wrongdoings.
00:53Believe me, justice will catch up to you sooner or later.
01:00It is not a matter of if, but when.
01:04As we have always said, the time of reckoning has come.
01:11My fellow citizens, the House of Representatives will not rest
01:17until those responsible for these heinous crimes are caught
01:22tried, convicted, and punished.
