Is this really just ano, sabi l-- hindi nga, hindi ko masabi below the radar eh, but parang, I mean, lumilipas lang ba ang ano, panahon, parang seasonal change eh? Di-- isn't this quite serious and troubling? I'm not talking about the Supreme Court per se, but in general that it looks like coincidentally, legally, the Marcoses are doing fantastic to put it, uh, mildly.
8:07
Yeah, ako kasi 'di ba naka-recover diyan.
8:09
Uh, I stayed off Facebook entirely kasi talaga oh my God, parang hindi, hindi mo malunok na, ah, tapos ganoon na lang yun na so many years, so many-- I don't know how much evidence they presented, but definitely enough to have her convicted by, uh, by a court, by a judge.
8:30
Tapos ganun-ganun na lang.
8:32
Uh, ang hirap nito para sa ordinaryong Pilipino.
8:34
Hindi ko ma-explain nung may nagtatanong sa akin, "So pano yun? Ba't naging ganun?" Eh wala eh, that was the decision.
8:43
Ang hirap kasi papasok talaga yung politics.

How worried should Bongo be, ah, about the situation and if ever lalo-lalo na si Bato ay mahuli, and if ever there is some sort of a deal or something, what is the implication for that for the rule of law na okay parang he will help in holding a high-level official accountable but potentially gets cut free on, on in terms of yung involvement niya allegedly sa drug war ni Digong? Like, w-what is your take on the Bongo issue? Because it's always, it always falls under the radar 'no, purong Bato lang pinag-usapan lahat eh.

How worried should Bongo be, ah, about the situation and if, if ever lalong-lalo na si Bato ay mahuli, and if ever there is some sort of a deal or something, uh, what is the implication for that for the rule of law na okay parang he will help in holding a high level official accountable but potentially gets cut free on, on in terms of yung involvement niya allegedly sa drug war ni Digong? Like, w-what is your take on the Bongo issue? Because it's always, it always falls under the radar nang purong Bato lang pinag-usapan lahat eh.
10:32
Well, Bongo cannot go, will not go, and should not go scot-free.
10:36
Hindi po 'yan pakakawalan ng basta-basta.
10:39
Sa Ro-Rome Statute doon sa, sa, sa ICC, hindi sila yung tipong Discaya, eh buti nga yung Discaya hindi nakalusot even if our rules could have, would have allowed it.
10:52
Ah, sinasabi na hindi, dapat kasi hindi yung parang most guilty, ganiyan.
10:58
Ah, makakalusot na sana yung Discaya, buti na lang nagkaroon ng uproar at saka kumbaga, ah, napag-isip-isip hindi pwedeng ganito kalaking isda tapos pakakawalan mo para maano yung mas malaking isda.
11:11
Si Bongo parang ganun.
13:19
Um, nung sinasabi niya ba 'yan, uh, naiisip niya yung mga kanyang mga chicheria? Naiisip niya ba? I mean, I'm wondering, a-in the end, ito ba ay ha-- ah, away sa hatiyan lang ba talaga ang nangyari sa ating bansa? Is this really, really down to that?
25:47
Yeah.
25:47
'Yan, nilabag na 'yan ng mga Duterte.
25:50
Bakit hindi niyo pa rin mareconcile na kontra 'yan sa relihiyon niyo? Para naman doon sa, kumbaga nag-iisip lang na simpleng tao, pumatay, nag-nakaw, kontra 'yan sa interes mo.
27:11
Yeah.
27:11
So kumbaga, you cannot assume na yung matatalino, yung nakapag-aral, yung may degree, PhD, et cetera, ang ultimate harbi-- ang taga-pagbitbit ng mabuting balita.
27:23
Kaya m- may ganun tayo kung kailangang bakahin.
27:27
Kasi sa totoo lang may nakikita akong iba, "Ay, attorney.
27:30
Oh sige po.

I didn't wait for marriage, and now I'm piecing back together my life to get back out there to date"?
5:00
Yeah, so good to be with you, Timmy.
5:02
And you're right.
5:04
This is unfortunately pretty common with, uh, with relationships today.
5:08
They go quickly.
5:10
And for instance, the first three months are the honeymoon phase where people are wearing rose-colored glasses.
5:17
It's so exciting to meet someone who you are finally attracted to and might marry one day.
