00:00 Until his burial, the family shouted for justice and loved one another, Gemboy Baltazar.
00:07 The 6 police officers who were involved in the operation apologized to Gemboy's mother but did not confess to the murder.
00:15 Witnesses were Emil Sumangil and Jonathan Andal.
00:28 It was a special day for Rodalisa Baltazar and her family.
00:34 On this day, they were brought to the last resting place of their beloved Gemboy.
00:43 The 17-year-old was killed by the police in Navotas after being mistakenly suspected.
00:49 To one of their friends, neighbors, and other buried in Laloma Cemetery, their cry for justice was the only thing they had.
00:58 Gemboy's dream of becoming a seaman was shattered.
01:01 One of the reasons why his mother was sent abroad.
01:05 I don't know where to go. I'm taking care of other people there.
01:08 My family is there. I can't take care of them.
01:12 Maybe they're thinking that my mother has forgotten me.
01:15 But no, Gemboy, you're not forgetting me. You know that.
01:20 That's why the family's fight was continuous.
01:22 They decided to file a complaint against the police for murder from the lighter reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
01:29 Last night, Rodalisa was in front of the 6 police officers who were involved in the murder of her child.
01:34 They apologized, but none of them confessed to the murder.
01:38 I asked you why you apologized.
01:41 You said that you're just trying to make me feel better.
01:45 That's not right. I saw your face.
01:49 You don't have any feelings when you apologized.
01:51 You're all crazy.
01:53 You're suddenly shooting my child.
01:56 At the last mass before Gemboy was buried, Bishop Pablo Virgilio David reminded us of the case of 17-year-old Kian De Los Santos.
02:04 Today is the 6th anniversary of his death.
02:08 The police who were involved in the murder were also involved.
02:12 Kian was wrong to teach that the murder of a person who doesn't fight is a mistaken identity.
02:25 He also sermonized the entire police force.
02:28 Brothers and sisters of the police, you are not the law. You are just servants of the law.
02:38 You were not ordered to wear a uniform, to be armed, and to be paid from the pocket of the people to kill.
02:48 The head of the police force who was voted out of the police force, Colonel Alan Umipig, also attended the mass.
02:57 Aside from Umipig, 17 other police officers were also voted out of the police force.
03:04 According to Northern Police Director, Police Brigadier General Rizalito Gapas,
03:08 they also saw many other votes in a previous operation.
03:11 One of them was the abandonment of the operating unit of Gemboy,
03:15 whose relatives took his body under the river.
03:18 If he was injured, he should be given a medical check-up.
03:27 He should be brought to the hospital, to the doctor, and given first aid.
03:33 The head of the Station Investigation Division and investigator on case also faced an administrative case.
03:38 This includes the lapses of not using a body-worn camera,
03:48 not putting the suspect under the parapet.
03:59 The 20 police officers who were voted out of the police force, including the former ground commanders of SWAT and Intelligence Unit,
04:06 did not follow the protocol of proper arresting of the police.
04:09 We cannot be fired according to our rules of engagement because using a weapon should be done if there is imminent danger.
04:21 According to Umipig, he respects the decision to remove him from his position,
04:25 but he refused to have a cover-up on the case because he was the one who filed it.
04:30 We are continuing to work hard to get the statement of the other police officers,
04:33 aside from Elias Tony, two police officers were also voted out.
04:37 For Jemmy Integrated News, I'm Emil Subangin.
04:41 I'm Jonathan Andal, your sasksi.
