S.M.N.I. Truth That Matters

Ako dito sa Amerikano hindi ako kumpante.

I do not like.

You know what?

If it turns out to be good, then okay.

Probably in the years to come,

I might apologize to the Afghan nationals.

But as of now, we rely only in reference to your characters,

vis-a-vis with the Americans,

who are the ones vetting everybody of you,

supporting them, the Americans,

to go to other countries to seek the right of sanctuary or refuge.

Kaya refugees yan eh.

Kailan pa ba ako nakarinig na there is an Afghan investor here?

So economic, in what sense?

Would they contribute something to the country?

Maybe the workforce.

But how many?

Hindi natin alam.

There are no guidelines given us about how they are being processed

under applications pursued.

And to what extent did our country participate,

in the vetting of these foreign Afghan nationals

to come to the shores of the Philippines?

Relying on America alone, to me, is not good enough.

As a matter of fact, Pastor, I would say it's a dangerous zone.

I do not trust the Americans.

And maybe the Americans ayaw rin nila ako.

Well, in that sense, it's good.

I do not like you. You do not like me.

It's a mutual feeling.

So let it remain that way.

Pero kung sabihin mo, I have a personal grievance

or a personal whatever interest,

not to allow them or to say no.

Hindi o yan.

I've always believed in humanitarian reasons.

But the problem, I said, is they come from a country

which America and we, the Filipinos,

consider the present government now as terrorists.

And what I mean terrorist, just because they won

by sheer force,

and they were overwhelmed by the government then,

it doesn't mean to say that they are good.

Just because they won, they are good people.

They are acceptable.

You must remember that it was a revolution

and they overran the entire country by force.

Maybe they were more brutal and more hardened

than the other terrorists all around the world.

So itong Afghanistan at itong nationals ngayon na Afghan nationals,

they come from a country burdened with terrorism.

So the Americans' certification alone,

which would say that they are really of good moral character,

is not enough.

Good moral character does not include your political ideology.

Because lahat, all people claiming their ideology as good,

are all of good moral character.

Kita mo naman yung China ngayon.

Can you safely say now that at that time,

they were considered by the Americans of good moral character?

Patay tayo.

Because we were puppets.

Or a puppet of government interest.

U.S. government interest.

So, di ako komportably baso.

I would say that I may change my mind

because I said it's an act of humanitarian interest.

It's pity, if you might want to use the word.

It's more of a concern to embrace another human being.

To say that as a human being,

we are here in this planet, however temporary,

that I can be of help to you.

But in this case, maybe I said,

but I would want to know what was the vetting done.

Did it include the Philippines?

We were considered a host country at the time.

And were we informed of that process at that time,

we could have possibly, not really intervened,

but on our own also act independently of the Americans

to realize whether these foreign nationals now,

Afghan nationals, are really above suspicion

vis-a-vis with the threat of terrorism in our country.

In America, there is terrorism.

We have a good share of terrorists there.

And one more thing, the vetting procedure.

How many countries now in the world,

or in Southeast Asia,

are being preferred,

or Afghan nationals are being preferred to be accepted.

How many are they all, and how many were given to us?

Or maybe all were given to us, but no one else.

It's a shared responsibility.

It is guaranteed under the UN Charter.

We are supposed really to act with kindness to our fellowmen.

But, you know, that is a good statement only

if there is no attendant dangerous ahead.

Mahirap yan.

There should be more.

Hindi ko naman sinasabing, outright, we should not accept.

We would like to know how the vetting was done,

how the process was being conducted,

and in what manner the Philippines was at that time

informed of the coming of foreign nationals in our country.

Alam mo, pagkagawa ng Amerikano, made in America,

or a thought manufactured by an American thinker.

Pastora, I would maybe...

Wait, wait, wait.

Let's try to sort out these things,

because from my experience,

I do not trust the Americans.

I really do not trust them.

So sorry to say that in public.

Thank you.
