00:00The victims of extrajudicial killings are expected to receive justice.
00:06Former President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested.
00:09They were all gathered at the same time.
00:12We have the first news, Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:18The pictures of the people killed in the Duterte drug war are vivid.
00:22Their relatives gathered at a mass in a church in Payatas, Quezon City.
00:28Teresita Campo, whose daughter, Jonald, was still alive when she was stabbed on the street in Payatas on November 27, 2016.
00:39She did not know if it was because of the drug attack, because she was killed and not stabbed.
00:45I was just at home when my daughter was stabbed on the street.
00:50She was cut in front of me.
00:54My daughter did not fight, she just walked on the street.
00:58She was stabbed in the back. Three police officers shot her.
01:01I am so sorry. I am so sorry that Duterte was stabbed.
01:08Police suddenly broke into the house of Maria Belen Daa on August 21, 2016.
01:15Her daughter, Marcelo Daa Jr., and four co-workers were killed.
01:21The police entered the house with a gun and a chicken.
01:28One of them was talking to the other. They were just imprisoned.
01:32They were happy that Duterte was arrested and that he would be punished for his killings.
01:39He was imprisoned. That's all.
01:43He paid for everything.
01:47People there can be imprisoned if they don't want to be killed.
01:53This mass is a way to thank the former President Duterte for his arrest
01:59and to pray for justice for the victims of extrajudicial killings.
02:04This is a very unfortunate surprise that the warrant of arrest for President Duterte was over.
02:15It is possible that the case will continue in the International Criminal Court.
02:22This will be a year of jubilee, freedom and justice,
02:33especially for the NJK families who survived.
02:40In a separate mass in Sacred Heart Parish,
02:43there is also a message from Kian De Los Santos,
02:46a 17-year-old man who, according to witnesses, was chased by the police
02:51and even though he was begging for mercy, he was shot in their anti-drug operation.
02:57My nephew was not brought to court.
03:00He was accused of many things when he was killed.
03:03Our President is fortunate because he will be given a chance to defend himself.
03:09According to one of the lawyers who helped in the complaint,
03:13the ICC is still looking for information.
03:16In the Welcome Rotunda,
03:18various groups and relatives of the victims of the drug war also gathered.
03:23Who can say that we, the poor, can arrest a powerful and abusive person?
03:32It is true that our loved ones are innocent.
03:35Why was he given a death sentence?
03:37He was already imprisoned.
03:39But why was he given protection like Duterte?
03:44He was given hope of being imprisoned in a good prison.
03:49I am crying when I learned that Duterte was arrested.
03:53I am really crying.
03:56I don't know what I will do.
03:58This is just the beginning.
04:00I hope it will continue.
04:02The former Senator Laila de Lima,
04:06who was imprisoned for almost seven years during the term of former President Duterte,
04:10and one of the critics of the drug war, also spoke out.
04:14Today, Mr. Duterte is being made to answer,
04:18not to me, but to the victims, to their families,
04:22to a world that refuses to forget.
04:26This is not about vengeance.
04:28This is about justice finally taking its course.
04:32This is the first news.
