02:04.0
And then I can understand why they would not want to release the names of their members as a rebel force.
02:10.0
Because the NBA does the same. In the negotiations I was involved in, one of the conditions of Joma was,
02:16.0
we cannot give you the names of our combatants until all of this is over or else their lives will be...
02:21.6
So I can understand that.
02:23.2
But there has to be...
02:25.2
Some credible guarantee that the 40,000 or whatever number of weapons they profess to have will be decommissioned.
02:33.7
Because they're the ones who put forward that number.
02:37.4
Okay. And yes, we are in the last phase.
02:40.8
But what is happening is, in the last phase, the number of weapons are not equivalent to the number of combatants supposed to be decommissioned.
02:50.0
So we either have to accept the fact that it won't happen anymore.
02:54.3
And that was why I was...
02:55.2
I was suggesting probably, as Dr. Mike said, decommissioning is probably as it has been undertaken.
03:02.2
It's not the way to go.
03:04.3
So our position was, from a long time ago, was, why did we ever even include a decommissioning component?
03:12.4
When actually everyone, every Filipino is supposed to have the right to own weapons.
03:18.1
Up to 50, under the new law, up to even 15 weapons.
03:23.0
And now Filipino citizens...
03:25.2
They don't even have the right to carry weapons outside their homes.
03:28.6
And yet say that the MILF combatant is decommissioned.
03:32.3
We'll have to surrender all these weapons.
03:34.4
So we have to accept the fact that Mindanao will continue to have weapons.
03:39.1
What we want is that those weapons are properly registered.
03:43.5
That they can be traced if they're used for nefarious purposes.
03:48.2
And if that is the case, then we can say that, okay, fine, that is what Dr. Mike has said.
03:55.2
Let's look at the other positive things in this peace process.
03:58.5
That people seem to be neglecting the input of socioeconomic benefits into different communities.
04:06.8
Or, you know, what's this?
04:09.5
Rights, new laws that are created on land, etc.
04:13.2
Rather than your so-called...
04:14.7
Kaya lang, let's always remember that this was part of the agreement they signed.
04:21.2
This was part of the social contract they made.
04:24.2
And that is understandable.
04:25.2
But why a lot of Filipinos are angry is because they thought that this would happen.
04:30.8
This was a promise made to the Filipino people and the rest.
04:35.1
That part of this would be a decommissioning of weapons.
04:38.7
But that is the ugly truth, no?
04:41.7
Yung isong 40,000 na yan, lumabas na sa Senate hearing.
04:46.0
Nakabatay lang yung isang sulat na ipinadala ni Chair Moran sa government,
04:52.3
indicating na ito yung bilang namin.
04:55.2
Wala kong alam ng proseso ng pag-kumpirma niyang 40,000 na yan.
05:01.0
Ilang beses nang hiningi yung listahan ng 40,000 na yan, pero wala pang lumalabas na talagang listahan.
05:07.9
Yung sinasabi ni William Hovland, yung Norwegian na nando sa Senado,
05:14.2
na meron silang listahan, ay yung listahan ng mga taong nakatanggap lang.
05:20.5
Hindi yung buong 40,000.
05:23.2
Iliwanag natin yun.
05:25.2
Pangalawa, maraming itinanong.
05:27.5
Mami, babalikan ko yun.
05:28.5
Yung mga tinanong hindi sa quality ng mga firearms,
05:32.2
eh marami rin problema doon.
05:33.7
Kasi karamihan doon, eh unserviceable na.
05:36.3
Bagamat sinasabi nila, serviceable pa.
05:39.0
Pagpaliwanag ko later yun.
05:41.3
In short, dahil sa hindi maliwanag yung 40,000,
05:45.7
hindi rin maliwanag kung saan nang galing yung from the 40,000, 12,000 ng DT Commission,
05:51.0
at doon sa 12,000, yung kalahati lang actually,
05:55.2
ay nagkakasagutan ng MILF.
05:58.3
Kasi yun lang raw ang pag-aari nila.
06:01.1
Kalahati nun ay pag-aari raw ng mga kombatant at wala silang,
06:04.7
hindi nilang madidecommission yun sa bawat kombatant yun.
06:08.7
Because of all of these agreements…
06:12.1
Sorry lang for cutting off.
06:13.9
Yung punto na yun. Hindi ba splitting hairs yun?
06:19.2
It is actually the biggest problem.
06:22.2
In fact, Christian,
06:25.0
What I am amazed is that the government knew that this was a problem from long ago.
06:33.6
Ang dami na nagtanong nito, sinalyze na sila ng kongreso, ilabas yung pangalan eh.
06:39.2
Imbis na sabihin nilang ganito talaga, wala pa yung pangalan, may proseso dyan,
06:42.8
ang pagmalalaman natin over time, ang ginawa in a stone wall, hindi nilabas.
06:48.1
Pangalawa, ang tagal nang tinatanong sa kanila,
06:50.4
bakit nga ganyan lang ang bilang ng barel in contrast to the number of supposed combatants?
06:57.1
Imbis na ibaliwanan nila, ito yung mga problema.
07:00.2
Ang ginagawa, stone wall left, di namin malilista ating faculty,
07:03.7
pinakamalaking, nababas nga nung hearing eh,
07:06.7
ang binigay na dahilan pa, dahilan rin sa mga sundalong,
07:09.6
pumunta sa labanan na walang barel,
07:12.0
naghihintay na may tumumba, tapos kukunin niya yung barel.
07:15.1
Have you heard a more ridiculous explanation
07:19.8
lack of, you know,
07:22.6
walang consistency sa bilang ng members and bilang ng barel?
07:27.7
In short, it is really incredible.
07:31.9
It is not credible at all.
07:34.7
It is actually a big problem.
07:37.6
And what affolds me is that they did not even prepare an explanation
07:42.2
long before they went to the Senate.
07:45.0
Parang napaka-confident eh.
07:47.6
Kaya ang nangyari, ayun, sunod-sunod.
07:49.8
Tama yung lahat ng, actually, the irony of the situation is
07:53.4
tama yung lahat ng mga questions ni
07:56.4
si Senator Tulfo at saka yung questions ni Senator Aimee eh.
08:02.2
Magamating di nila alam ang context, no?
08:05.3
I'll give you another point.
08:06.6
Doon sa decommissioning ng mga barel na sinasabi.
08:10.8
Di ba sinabi nila doon sa Senate hearing,
08:12.6
lahat raw is serviceable, wala sa kanilang sira.
08:16.3
But they gave a different definition to what is serviceable eh.
08:19.8
I mean, the definition nila, there will be no unserviceable barel.
08:24.4
Kinignan mo, we are get-choose eh.
08:26.8
Of the firearms, nakita mo talaga.
08:28.7
Walang stock, walang barel, wala ng firing pin.
