'HINDI SILA PLUNDERER, HINDI PO SILA MAGNANAKAW, HINDI PO SILA GANOON'

Senator-judge Camille Villar became emotional as she urged her fellow senator-judges to show respect to their absent colleagues, saying they have not been convicted of the charges they are facing.

Villar said the absence of detained senators was not their choice and called it unfair to label them as plunderers or thieves when none of them have been convicted.

00:00While I respect all of our colleagues here, all of you,
00:07I think we should be reminded that the senators that are being detained
00:15and who are not here right now, that is not their choice.
00:20And I think it's unfair to call them out that their crimes are of plunder and of theft.
00:30Because none of those senators have been convicted.
00:34There are a lot of questions about why they're not even here in the first place.
00:39And as the youngest member of this August body,
00:43can we stop it with these attacks on each other?
00:53We are senators of the Philippines.
00:56Let us give each other due respect.
01:01Let's give Filipinos due respect.
01:05We can't even say anything about our colleagues.
01:10We can't give each other's minds.
01:16We can't even see anything about our colleagues.
01:20We can't give each other's minds.
01:26They are not a plunderer, they are not a plunderer, they are not a plunderer, they are not a plunderer.
01:35So don't let us go there and get blown away.
01:43I afford my colleagues to respect and I just hope that our colleagues can do the same for those that
01:53are here.
01:54And they are not here.
01:57That's just a lot.
