Part 1 | Percy Lapid Memorial @ Filipino American Community of Los Angeles (Percy Lapid Fire)
02:08.0
Ako po yung pangalalaan na anak niyo, Percy Matasa.
02:13.0
Si Percy Lapid po, bilang broadcaster ko, kinala niyo naman po siya ng mga matitipons niya.
02:31.0
Matagal po na itong binuo, yung dedikasyon sa trabaho niya.
02:37.0
Nakita po namin lahat na magkakapating din.
02:42.0
Minsan niya, natatakot na din kami para sa kanya.
02:47.0
Pero ang sabi ko kasi, kung bakit ka matatakot kung nagsasabi ka ng patoon.
02:56.0
Pero sa kapila po ng pagiging matapang na sa radio,
03:03.0
napakabuting ang ako ni Percy Lapid para sa akin.
03:08.0
Asawa sa nariyo po.
03:11.0
Sa mga tao na may hindi magtulungan sa kanya.
03:15.0
Madalas kahit wala siya, bibigyan niyo yung nanitira niya para sa iba.
03:24.0
Tulad na naman kung nagpapalili, isang malaking pagsubok sa lahat ng tao yung sa buong mundo.
03:31.0
Ang unang inisip niya, syempre kami ang pamilya niya.
03:36.0
Pero pangalawa, naisip niya yung mga tao na wala ng trabaho.
03:42.0
Guha siya ng program na matulungan yung mga tao alam niyang na wala ng trabaho,
03:53.0
na may mga pamilyang binubuhay, o paano kakain.
03:59.0
Pinag-isipan ng pabuti kung paano niya mahirahan din sung tulong sa bawat isa,
04:05.0
kasi yung ibang nasa probinsya.
04:10.0
So kami nahirap-nahirap, pinilit niya yun,
04:16.0
hagang sa dumating ang eleksyon.
04:22.0
Doon na nagsimula.
04:28.0
Doon nagsimula kung bakit siya nawala ngayon.
04:35.0
Maraming mga tao sa gobyerno, nung nasagasaan niya, na nasaktan.
04:42.0
Pero dahil yun sa pagagawan nila ng mali, kasi si Papa, ang ninalabanan niya yung corruption.
04:52.0
Ayaw niya nyo kasi maraming mga tao sa Pilipinas ang nagdurusa,
04:59.0
sa kabila nang sila yung mga politiko na lang ang yumayaman.
05:07.0
Nakapalukot kasi sa ganong paraan, ganon na tagalig yung mga tao sa Pilipinas.
05:16.0
Pagbawala ni Papa, kahit kami binagbantaan pa at inako,
05:25.0
napapatayin din nila.
05:28.0
Hindi na namin alam kung saan kami pupuntang.
05:32.0
Wala namang masamang magawa si Papa kung hindi i-expose yung mga masamang ginagawa nila.
05:45.0
Narito po kami ngayon, buong pamilya, kasama ang aming ina, sa aming alim na magkakapatid.
05:53.0
Hindi po kami sanay na niningan tulong sa iba.
05:57.0
Pero sa pagkakataon po ito, ang hiling lang po namin sa inyo.
06:03.0
Tulungan niyo po kami na mahabit ang justisya para sa aming baba.
06:15.0
Pagkakataon po kami ngayon.
06:45.0
Pagkakataon po ang karamihan dito ay mga kaibigan niya.
06:49.0
Ngunit siya po ay buhay at handa na yun handa na tinitingin po niya.
06:58.0
Magdadasalam po tayo ngayon kung may napakiisapan ng mangunas sa pagdadasalam.
07:15.0
Happy birthday to the one and only Precious Design.
07:29.5

19:33.5
Percy Lappy lived a life full of passion,
19:36.5
determination, and concern
19:39.5
for the welfare of his kamabayan.
19:41.5
Both off-air and on-air,
19:44.5
he possessed an unwavering spirit
19:47.5
that would not be coerced nor intimidated.
19:52.5
God Mercy was targeted by persons
19:55.5
who hated him for speaking truth to power.
19:59.5
They thought that God Mercy's death would silence him
20:03.5
and terrify all of us.
20:07.5
His story now inspires millions
20:10.5
to be better individuals
20:12.5
and to never be afraid
20:14.5
of fighting for a better future.
20:17.5
Percy Lappy dedicated his life
20:20.5
to fighting for what is right,
20:22.5
even when it was difficult,
20:26.5
and a matter of life and death.
20:29.5
despite all the challenges he faced,
20:32.5
he never stopped,
20:34.5
never backed down,
20:36.5
and never ever lost hope,
20:42.5
That is how we can best honor
20:44.5
the memory and legacy
20:48.5
We should have the courage to speak up
20:50.5
for those who cannot.
20:52.5
We should dare to hope
20:54.5
for a better nation,
20:56.5
one defined by justice and progress,
21:04.5
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
21:06.5
himself martyred for his beliefs,
21:10.5
the arc of the moral universe is long
21:13.5
and unhappy bends towards justice.
21:18.5
even in the Philippines,
21:20.5
justice finds a way.
21:23.5
Evil will not always go unpunished.
21:27.5
Earlier this week,
21:28.5
several high-ranking government officials
21:31.5
were formally indicted
21:33.5
for their roles in the death of God Mercy.
21:36.5
Among those who are indicted
21:38.5
are Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
21:41.5
and Dr. Gerald Tapia,
21:43.5
who was a subject of God Mercy's exorcise.
21:48.5
Their indictment is a crucial first step
21:51.5
for justice and the truth,
21:53.5
and an important message
21:55.5
for our democracy itself.
21:58.5
God Mercy's killing should not be
22:00.5
another sad statistic
22:02.5
in our nation's list
22:04.5
of murdered journalists.
22:06.5
His sacrifices lead to reforms,
22:09.5
towards protecting journalists
22:13.5
and creating a culture
22:15.5
where dissent and criticism
22:17.5
do not invite murder.
22:28.5
along with countless Filipinos,
22:32.5
every step of the way
22:36.5
We will honor His memory
22:38.5
by continuing to strive
22:40.5
for truth and justice
22:44.5
and no matter the challenges.
22:46.5
We will keep His legacy alive
22:51.5
and defending freedom of the press
22:53.5
and freedom of expression,
22:58.5
Mercy Lapid remains steadfast
23:01.5
in its commitment to seek the truth
23:04.5
and to speak such truths
23:06.5
until the very end.
23:09.5
our nation will be forever grateful.
23:14.5
Death has not silenced Dr. Mercy.
23:18.5
His legacy speaks
23:22.5
We are listening,
23:25.5
We will continue the fight.
23:31.5
Your talent and spirit
23:34.5
will never be forgotten.
23:47.5
So, the news I have
23:49.5
is that the announcement
23:51.5
that they have been waiting for
23:53.5
has arrived yesterday.
23:57.5
Your Father Percy.
23:59.5
So that is definitely
24:01.5
a sign that God's hand
24:03.5
is in the hand of justice.
24:05.5
So we hope for the best.
24:10.5
a pre-recorded video tribute
24:13.5

24:24.5
mercy, mercy, mercy,
24:26.5
mercy, mercy, mercy,
24:27.5
mercy, mercy, mercy,
24:29.5
As long as we go Monday night,
24:31.5
the barman and the shopkeeper will speak.
24:48.5
Our Father who art in Heaven,
24:50.5
hallowed be thy name,
24:53.5
Thy kingdom come,
24:56.5
Thy will be done,
24:59.5
on earth as it is in heaven.
