00:47.4
Yung landmark case na yan mga kapatas natin, matagal na.
00:51.4
Kailan ba ito dinesisyonan? March 1, 1993 pa.
01:00.4
So ipapaliwanag ko sa inyo kung legal ba yan o hindi.
01:03.9
Alam naman natin mga kapatas natin na obligado tayong lahat na respetuhin at igalang yung ating flag.
01:10.9
Kaya nga mga kapatas natin, yung flag natin at national anthem natin, bawal yan bastusin.
01:18.4
Bawal gumawa ng art na hindi pinahihintulutan ng batas yung flag natin.
01:28.4
Yung simbolo ng Pilipinas.
01:30.4
Bawal gamitin damit.
01:33.4
Bawal ilagay sa floor.
01:35.4
Bawal sumayan sa floor.
01:37.4
Bawal i-display na mas mataas sa kahit anumang ganito, ganyan, ganito, ganyan.
01:42.4
Yung ating national anthem din.
01:45.4
Dapat kantahin ng maayos. Hindi pwede nakantahin at ibahin ang tono.
01:56.9
Yun naman ang punto dyan.
01:58.9
Ngayon ang tanong dito mga kapatas natin, yung ginawa ni Robin Padilla na yan, hindi ba paggalang yan?
02:09.4
In other words, mga kapatas natin, pambabastos ba yan sa ating unang-una?
02:14.4
Flag. Kasi siyempre, pag ikaw ay kumakanta ng Lupang Hinirang, may flag dyan.
02:21.4
Kung saan, yun yung nerespeto.
02:23.4
At siyempre, pag kinakanta mo yung Lupang Hinirang, kinakanta mo rin yung Lupang Hinirang, yun din yung national anthem.
02:30.4
So meron bang bawal dyan?
02:34.4
Ano bang sinabi ni Robin Padilla dito at dahilan niya kung bakit ganito ang ginawa niya?
02:38.9
Sabi dito mga kapatas natin, a clenched fist with the index finger pointing upwards is a show of Islamic faith.
02:45.9
So parang sinasabi niya dito mga kapatas natin na siya ay isang Islam.
02:48.9
Kaya ganyan daw siya. That asserts the oneness of God.
02:52.9
Yun yung sinabi ni Robin Padilla.
02:56.4
I-explain niya na yung hand gesture na ginawa niya habang kinakanta yung national anthem
03:01.4
doon sa zona ni President Bongbong Marcos
03:05.4
ay la ila ila la.
03:09.4
The oneness of God.
03:12.4
Kriniticize ng maraming tao si Padilla sa gesture na yan.
03:18.4
Sabi niya bakit daw hindi niya magawa yan.
03:23.4
Tapos sinabi niya ulit yun magre-resign na lang siya
03:27.9
kesa sabihin ng mga tao na hindi niya pwedeng i-practice yung kanyang religion.
03:33.9
Dapat hindi niya na sinabi lagi yung resign, resign na naman na yan.
03:36.9
At syempre, public service pa rin naman
03:41.9
So you also have to consider your work as a public servant.
03:46.9
Hindi lang yung religion.
03:49.4
Because of course we all know that
03:52.4
you are a senator not only of the Muslim community
03:56.9
but also of the Filipino people.
03:59.9
Also of people with different religions
04:05.9
Iglesia Ni Cristo.
04:11.4
So it is also defeating your duty to be a senator to them
04:15.9
if you will prioritize your religion over public service.
04:19.9
Pero mga kapatas natin, hindi naman yan talaga ang main topic natin dito.
04:23.9
Ang main topic pa rin natin ay kung illegal ba yung ginawa niya o hindi.
04:27.9
Sabi niya, if I will not be successful in pushing for a federal parliamentary form of government,
04:31.9
I'd rather be an imam.
04:34.9
I'd rather go to Malaysia and study the Quran than be a senator.
04:39.9
Dapat yun na lang yung ginawa niyo.
04:42.9
Number one pa naman kayo.
04:44.9
Yung pala, hindi naman kayo buo.
04:46.9
Hindi buo yung puso niyo doon sa trabaho na gagawin niyo.
04:50.9
Tapos yung nga sinabi niyo, araw-araw kayo magre-resign.
04:53.9
Hindi naman maganda yun.
04:57.9
Tapos ito, Padilla converted to Islam in the 1990s while serving his sentence for illegal possession of firearms
05:03.9
at the New Bilibid Prison.
05:05.9
He was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to serve a maximum prison term of 8 years.
05:11.9
Okay mga kapatas natin, ano ba yung sinasabi ko sa inyo?
05:13.9
May nahanap ako na case digest para hindi na natin buong basahin yung kaso na yun.
05:24.9
Yung case digest na yan mga kapatas natin ay tungkol sa itong isang kasong ito.
05:37.9
Ito yung kaso mga kapatas natin.
05:40.9
Ebralinag et al versus the division superintendent of schools of Cebu.
05:48.9
This is a landmark case.
05:49.9
Laging pinag-aaralan nito kasi this is the clash between religion and patriotism.
05:58.9
Ito yung pinaka magandang kaso na magsisignify nito because it's about religion and patriotism.
06:07.9
Although dito mga kapatas natin hindi Islam ang usapan kundi Jehovah's Witnesses.
06:15.9
Dito mga kapatas natin ang nangyari may dalawang istudyante na na-expel sa kanilang klase
06:21.9
dahil hindi sila nagsalot sa flag at hindi nila kinanta yung national anthem
06:30.9
at hindi re-recite yung panatang makabayan.
06:36.9
Ganon kasi mga kapatas natin sa mga public schools.
06:41.9
You are required to do that.
06:42.9
May attendance din sa flag ceremony.
06:44.9
So you have to attend the flag ceremony.
06:46.9
You have to respect the Filipino flag.
06:48.9
You have to sing the Lupang Hinirang.
06:51.9
Tapos sing it properly.
06:53.9
Nakataas ang noo.
06:55.9
Tapos nakatingin sa watawat.
06:57.9
Tapos ikaw pagkatapos yan magre-recite ka ng panatang makabayan.
07:05.9
Ang ginawa dito mga kapatas natin dahil sila ay Jehovah's Witnesses
07:10.9
sinabi sa kanila na yung acts of worship or religious devotion
07:18.9
eh hindi nila pwedeng ibigay sa kahit kanino except to God.
07:26.9
So syempre mga kapatas natin yung paggalang na sinasabi nila
07:30.9
sa flag, pagkanta at panunumpa
07:33.9
they consider it as acts of worship or religious devotion.
07:40.9
Ngayon sinabi nila mga kapatas natin na yung pag-expel nyo sa kanila
07:44.9
dahil hindi sila kumanta, hindi sila nagsaludo
07:49.9
o gumawa ng proper gesture habang kinakanta nila yung Lupang Hinirang
07:55.9
at hindi nila re-recite yung panatang makabayan
07:59.9
ay hindi tama. Dapat hindi sila na-expel doon.
08:03.9
Ano yung sabi ng mga kapatas natin?
08:06.9
Sabi dito, dapat hindi na-expel yung mga bata.
08:11.9
Ito ang paliwanag mga kapatas natin.
08:13.9
Religious freedom is a fundamental right of highest priority
08:17.9
and the amplest protection among human rights.
08:20.9
So yung batas natin, kinukonsider din yung religious freedom.
08:24.9
Yung ginawa ni Robin Padilla, that is also religious freedom.
08:28.9
For it involves the relationship of man to his creator.
08:31.9
The right to religious freedom, profession, and worship has twofold aspects.
08:36.9
Freedom to believe and freedom to act on one's belief.
08:42.9
So, mga kapatas natin, yung ginawa ni Senator Robin Padilla na pagganyan
08:50.9
that is freedom to act on one's belief.
08:55.9
The first is absolute as long as the belief is confined within the realm of thought.
09:00.9
The second is subject to regulation where the belief is translated into external acts
09:06.9
that affect the public welfare.
09:08.9
So, sinabi dito, syempre yung freedom to believe.
09:11.9
Wala na kaming problema dyan kasi nasa otak mo lang yan.
09:14.9
Pero, ang may issue dyan ay yung freedom to act on one's belief.
09:20.9
So, ibig sabihin yan, yan pwedeng i-regulate yan.
09:23.9
Yan ang tanong, yung ginawa niya bang ganyan na freedom to act on one's belief?
09:30.9
Sabi niyang ganyan, mga kapatas natin, the only limitation to religious freedom is the exercise,
09:38.9
existence of grave and present danger to public.
09:42.9
So, ito, nung ginawa ba ni Robin Padilla ito, may danger to the public ba?
09:48.9
Safety, morals, health, and interest where the state has the right to prevent?
09:54.9
Diba yun ang tanong?
09:57.9
Ano ang resolution dito?
09:59.9
Jehovah's Witnesses may be exempted from observing the flag ceremony
10:02.9
but this right does not give them the right to disrupt such ceremonies.
10:08.9
So, walang problema dun.
10:09.9
Ang ginawa dito, mga kapatas natin, e tumayo lang sila during the ceremonies.
10:16.9
Hindi naman sila ng gulo.
10:18.9
So, sabi dito ng Korte Suprema, okay lang yan.
10:21.9
Hindi naman nila ginulo yung ceremony.
10:24.9
Tumayo lang sila doon.
10:26.9
Hindi naman sila ng bastos.
10:28.9
By observing the ceremonies quietly, it doesn't present any dangers of evil and imminent to justify their expulsion.
10:40.9
So, sabi niya, what the petition requests is exemption from flag ceremonies and not exclusion from public schools.
10:48.9
The expulsion of the students by reason of their religious belief is also a violation of a citizen's right to free education.
10:56.9
The non-observance of the flag ceremony does not totally constitute ignorance of patriotism and civic consciousness.
11:04.9
Love for country and admiration for national heroes, civic consciousness, and form of government are part of the school curricula.
11:12.9
Therefore, expulsion due to religious beliefs is unjustified.
11:19.9
So, yan mga kabatas natin.
11:20.9
Wala namang ginawang masama doon si Sen. Robin Padilla.
11:24.9
That is their right to act on one's belief.
11:29.9
Nung ginanun niya yung kamay niya, mga kabatas natin, eh wala naman siyang nagulo.
11:35.9
Hindi niya naman dinisrupt yung proceedings.
11:38.9
Hindi naman, mga kabatas natin, na bastos.
11:43.9
There's no danger to the public.
11:48.9
Maraming salamat, mga kabatas natin.
11:50.9
At syempre, tulad ng laging siyang sabi, matulog po tayo ng maimbing dahil alam natin na yung nasutulog ng maimbing, siya yung lagi yung panala.
11:56.9
Paalam po, pansamantang.
