Alright yan, magandang araw mga kapatas natin at welcome sa isa namang livestream.

Mga kapatas natin, nakikita nyo ba yung picture na yan?

Yan yung ating number one senator, okay?

Kaya pag makikita nyo kasi lahat sila, nakadampa yung palad sa kanilang dibdib.

Diba ganyan kasi yung paggalang sa Watawat?

Ganyan yung paggalang sa Watawat.

Ngayon mga kapatas natin, makikita nyo si Robin Padilla, nakaganyan siya.

Ngayon ang tanong dyan mga kapatas natin, pinagbabawal ba sa batas yan o hindi?

At mga kapatas natin, meron tayong landmark case tungkol dyan.

Yung landmark case na yan mga kapatas natin, matagal na.

Kailan ba ito dinesisyonan? March 1, 1993 pa.

So ipapaliwanag ko sa inyo kung legal ba yan o hindi.

Alam naman natin mga kapatas natin na obligado tayong lahat na respetuhin at igalang yung ating flag.

Kaya nga mga kapatas natin, yung flag natin at national anthem natin, bawal yan bastusin.

Bawal gumawa ng art na hindi pinahihintulutan ng batas yung flag natin.

Yung simbolo ng Pilipinas.

Bawal gamitin damit.

Bawal ilagay sa floor.

Bawal sumayan sa floor.

Bawal i-display na mas mataas sa kahit anumang ganito, ganyan, ganito, ganyan.

Yung ating national anthem din.

Dapat kantahin ng maayos. Hindi pwede nakantahin at ibahin ang tono.

Dapat igalang.

Yun naman ang punto dyan.

Ngayon ang tanong dito mga kapatas natin, yung ginawa ni Robin Padilla na yan, hindi ba paggalang yan?

In other words, mga kapatas natin, pambabastos ba yan sa ating unang-una?

Flag. Kasi siyempre, pag ikaw ay kumakanta ng Lupang Hinirang, may flag dyan.

Kung saan, yun yung nerespeto.

At siyempre, pag kinakanta mo yung Lupang Hinirang, kinakanta mo rin yung Lupang Hinirang, yun din yung national anthem.

So meron bang bawal dyan?

Ano bang sinabi ni Robin Padilla dito at dahilan niya kung bakit ganito ang ginawa niya?

Sabi dito mga kapatas natin, a clenched fist with the index finger pointing upwards is a show of Islamic faith.

So parang sinasabi niya dito mga kapatas natin na siya ay isang Islam.

Kaya ganyan daw siya. That asserts the oneness of God.

Yun yung sinabi ni Robin Padilla.

I-explain niya na yung hand gesture na ginawa niya habang kinakanta yung national anthem

doon sa zona ni President Bongbong Marcos

ay la ila ila la.

The oneness of God.

Kriniticize ng maraming tao si Padilla sa gesture na yan.

Okay?

Sabi niya bakit daw hindi niya magawa yan.

Tapos sinabi niya ulit yun magre-resign na lang siya

kesa sabihin ng mga tao na hindi niya pwedeng i-practice yung kanyang religion.

Dapat hindi niya na sinabi lagi yung resign, resign na naman na yan.

At syempre, public service pa rin naman

ang pinasok mo.

So you also have to consider your work as a public servant.

Hindi lang yung religion.

Because of course we all know that

you are a senator not only of the Muslim community

but also of the Filipino people.

Also of people with different religions

like Catholic.

Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Baptist.

Lahat yan.

So it is also defeating your duty to be a senator to them

if you will prioritize your religion over public service.

Pero mga kapatas natin, hindi naman yan talaga ang main topic natin dito.

Ang main topic pa rin natin ay kung illegal ba yung ginawa niya o hindi.

Sabi niya, if I will not be successful in pushing for a federal parliamentary form of government,

I'd rather be an imam.

I'd rather go to Malaysia and study the Quran than be a senator.

Dapat yun na lang yung ginawa niyo.

Number one pa naman kayo.

Yung pala, hindi naman kayo buo.

Hindi buo yung puso niyo doon sa trabaho na gagawin niyo.

Tapos yung nga sinabi niyo, araw-araw kayo magre-resign.

Hindi naman maganda yun.

Diba?

Tapos ito, Padilla converted to Islam in the 1990s while serving his sentence for illegal possession of firearms

at the New Bilibid Prison.

He was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to serve a maximum prison term of 8 years.

Okay mga kapatas natin, ano ba yung sinasabi ko sa inyo?

May nahanap ako na case digest para hindi na natin buong basahin yung kaso na yun.

Okay?

Yung case digest na yan mga kapatas natin ay tungkol sa itong isang kasong ito.

Ito yung kaso mga kapatas natin.

Ebralinag et al versus the division superintendent of schools of Cebu.

This is a landmark case.

Laging pinag-aaralan nito kasi this is the clash between religion and patriotism.

Ito yung pinaka magandang kaso na magsisignify nito because it's about religion and patriotism.

Although dito mga kapatas natin hindi Islam ang usapan kundi Jehovah's Witnesses.

Okay?

Dito mga kapatas natin ang nangyari may dalawang istudyante na na-expel sa kanilang klase

dahil hindi sila nagsalot sa flag at hindi nila kinanta yung national anthem

at hindi re-recite yung panatang makabayan.

Ganon kasi mga kapatas natin sa mga public schools.

You are required to do that.

May attendance din sa flag ceremony.

So you have to attend the flag ceremony.

You have to respect the Filipino flag.

You have to sing the Lupang Hinirang.

Tapos sing it properly.

Nakataas ang noo.

Tapos nakatingin sa watawat.

Tapos ikaw pagkatapos yan magre-recite ka ng panatang makabayan.

Okay?

Ang ginawa dito mga kapatas natin dahil sila ay Jehovah's Witnesses

sinabi sa kanila na yung acts of worship or religious devotion

eh hindi nila pwedeng ibigay sa kahit kanino except to God.

Okay?

So syempre mga kapatas natin yung paggalang na sinasabi nila

sa flag, pagkanta at panunumpa

they consider it as acts of worship or religious devotion.

Okay?

Ngayon sinabi nila mga kapatas natin na yung pag-expel nyo sa kanila

dahil hindi sila kumanta, hindi sila nagsaludo

o gumawa ng proper gesture habang kinakanta nila yung Lupang Hinirang

at hindi nila re-recite yung panatang makabayan

ay hindi tama. Dapat hindi sila na-expel doon.

Ano yung sabi ng mga kapatas natin?

Sabi dito, dapat hindi na-expel yung mga bata.

Ito ang paliwanag mga kapatas natin.

Religious freedom is a fundamental right of highest priority

and the amplest protection among human rights.

So yung batas natin, kinukonsider din yung religious freedom.

Yung ginawa ni Robin Padilla, that is also religious freedom.

For it involves the relationship of man to his creator.

The right to religious freedom, profession, and worship has twofold aspects.

Freedom to believe and freedom to act on one's belief.

So, mga kapatas natin, yung ginawa ni Senator Robin Padilla na pagganyan

that is freedom to act on one's belief.

The first is absolute as long as the belief is confined within the realm of thought.

The second is subject to regulation where the belief is translated into external acts

that affect the public welfare.

So, sinabi dito, syempre yung freedom to believe.

Wala na kaming problema dyan kasi nasa otak mo lang yan.

Pero, ang may issue dyan ay yung freedom to act on one's belief.

So, ibig sabihin yan, yan pwedeng i-regulate yan.

Yan ang tanong, yung ginawa niya bang ganyan na freedom to act on one's belief?

Pawal ba yan?

Sabi niyang ganyan, mga kapatas natin, the only limitation to religious freedom is the exercise,

existence of grave and present danger to public.

So, ito, nung ginawa ba ni Robin Padilla ito, may danger to the public ba?

Safety, morals, health, and interest where the state has the right to prevent?

Diba yun ang tanong?

Wala, diba?

Ano ang resolution dito?

Jehovah's Witnesses may be exempted from observing the flag ceremony

but this right does not give them the right to disrupt such ceremonies.

So, walang problema dun.

Ang ginawa dito, mga kapatas natin, e tumayo lang sila during the ceremonies.

Hindi naman sila ng gulo.

So, sabi dito ng Korte Suprema, okay lang yan.

Hindi naman nila ginulo yung ceremony.

Tumayo lang sila doon.

Hindi naman sila ng bastos.

So, okay lang.

By observing the ceremonies quietly, it doesn't present any dangers of evil and imminent to justify their expulsion.

Diba?

So, sabi niya, what the petition requests is exemption from flag ceremonies and not exclusion from public schools.

The expulsion of the students by reason of their religious belief is also a violation of a citizen's right to free education.

The non-observance of the flag ceremony does not totally constitute ignorance of patriotism and civic consciousness.

Love for country and admiration for national heroes, civic consciousness, and form of government are part of the school curricula.

Therefore, expulsion due to religious beliefs is unjustified.

Okay?

So, yan mga kabatas natin.

Wala namang ginawang masama doon si Sen. Robin Padilla.

That is their right to act on one's belief.

Nung ginanun niya yung kamay niya, mga kabatas natin, eh wala naman siyang nagulo.

Hindi niya naman dinisrupt yung proceedings.

Hindi naman, mga kabatas natin, na bastos.

There's no danger to the public.

So, okay lang.

Okay?

Yan.

Maraming salamat, mga kabatas natin.

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.

Paalam po, pansamantang.
