The ecumenical gathering began at approximately 5 p.m. and was attended by representatives from various religious groups.
“Masakit, at higit sa lahat, nakakagalit, na masilayan ang aaming mahal na ama, ang aking mahal na asawa sa kanyang pinagdaraanan ngayon (It is painful, and above all, infuriating to see our beloved father, my beloved husband, going through what he is facing now),” the former senator’s wife, Cavite 2nd District Rep. Lani Mercado Revilla, said during her speech.

“Sapagkat ang kanyang pagdurusa ay hindi bunga ng pagsuko sa isang kasalanan, kundi isang pagsuko sa isang sistemang pumayag sa kawalaan ng hustisya (His suffering is not the result of admitting to a wrongdoing, but of surrendering to a system that allowed injustice to prevail),”
