00:00We say that the congressmen are afraid or angry because they might lose their support.
00:10First, it's clear that Bibi Sara committed a crime.
00:15There's corruption involved.
00:17It should be established in our country.
00:19It should be established in our country.
00:21Second, we are challenging the Congress.
00:24We are challenging the congressmen.
00:26You should stand up for what is right.
00:29You should read the three complaints I filed.
00:34If our congressmen will stand up for what is right,
00:39that Sara Duterte committed a violation,
00:41the second to the highest position in the land,
00:46I think they will look at the merit of the complaint
00:50and not at the political affiliation.
00:54Otherwise, if they will only look at the political affiliation
00:57and look at the merit of the complaint,
00:59they will feel sorry for the people.
01:01It means that if they did that, they are allowing corruption.
01:05That's what will happen to us.
01:07They will only look at the merit of the complaint.
01:11That's where we should challenge the congressmen in this time.
01:16In this group, there are 18, January 18, January 25, January 27, and January 31.
01:30We don't know because outside of this group,
01:33there will be a rally for the 13th.
01:36We don't know if there will be one.
01:38Okay, KG.
01:41There will be a rally for the congressmen.
01:46Of course, we are not prohibiting the congressmen to join the groups they want to join.
01:53But we want them to have more consensus than the political groups.
02:01Because it is clear that this complaint will go to both sides,
02:08either they are pro-corruption or they are anti-corruption.
02:12And of course, being anti-corruption is their support here in the impeachment complaint against Sara Duterte.
02:19Of course, we also message to the members of the faith,
02:22of course, the Christian members of the Church Of Christ,
02:27to show that if it is true that for justice and peace,
02:32the rally of the Church Of Christ is peace,
02:38if it is true that the rally of the Church Of Christ is peace,
02:42the true peace for many Filipinos is the absence of corruption in our country.
02:47We are very focused on this impeachment.
02:51Like what the complainants said, we really want this to continue.
02:57And this will also be the measure of the senators and senators in office,
03:04because they will judge people later on.
03:07Remember, it is still an election on the 28th.
03:10So this will be the measure for our members of the Senate,
03:15what is their position to impeach or not to impeach or not to impeach.
03:22So, that's it.
03:23This is just talking about the interests of our citizens.
03:28So where are they?
03:29In the interests of the citizens or in their own interests?
03:33Congress! Impeach Sara Duterte now!
03:52Impeach Sara Duterte now!
