(0:02) To update, I’m sorry I have to update you this way. Hindi po ako makalabas sa media. 

(0:08) Because the report so far is that there were agents na sumabay sa media and claiming to be media.

(0:16) So there are now more than 200 sa labas, nakabarricade yung ibang doors. 

(0:20) But I will use this medium. 

(0:23) Sergeant-at-Arms, PNP, Marines, dadating si Sec. Remulla. Please escort them, please allow them in. 

(0:31) Dadating po si Sec. Remulla ng DILG with one of the PNP. It is not them attacking us. 

(0:40) Allow them in. Ise-secure daw ang building at tayo. 

(0:44) But I just want everyone to know, eto pong grupo na nandito, we’re not going to leave each other. 

(0:50) We’re not going to leave Sen. Bato. May agreement na, we’re still looking at the SC decision but his legal remedies have not been exhausted. 

(0:59) Sabi ng SC, binibigyan ng 3 days to comment.

(1:03) So we are relying on the law, relying on the Constitution, we are relying on the word of the NBI na hindi papasukin ang Senate na walang coordination. 

(1:19) But again, nagkaputukan na po dito. We cannot let this pass.

(1:24) So Osaa, I’m trying to call you. Papasukin niyo po si Sec. Remulia.

He’s here to help.
