00:00The House Committee on Human Rights will conduct an investigation
00:04on the extrajudicial killing of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the fight against drugs.
00:12This is what Clayzel Pardilio wrote.
00:16Does the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte have a right to human rights in the war on drugs?
00:24This is what the House Committee on Human Rights wants to find out.
00:30It is said that 6,400 drug suspects were killed during the campaign.
00:38The real issue here is that some people say that this is a fake drug war but we'd like to find out
00:49why so many people were killed? Why is there no due process here? This is what we are looking for.
00:57Drug suspects were expected to be called.
01:02Former government officials who were involved in the war on drugs,
01:06like former PNP chief Oscar Albayade and members of the Duterte administration's cabinet,
01:14like former Justice Secretary Menardo Guevara,
01:17were asked if Senator Bato de la Rosa and former President Duterte were also involved.
01:24We would like to maintain the courtesy with the sitting senator and also with the former president.
01:32So I think that your invitation is very much involved in this.
01:39This is the first investigation of the committee led by EJK that was established on May 22.
01:46It was also considered by some lawmakers that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. formed a super body
01:53that would greatly improve the protection of human rights in the Philippines.
01:59I commend the president for creating that super body.
02:05I just want to say that hopefully this super body will check on human rights,
02:16will be more independent rather than being biased.
02:23This is a recognition of our president that he gives primacy to the rights of every Filipino.
02:33So I think it's a positive development.
02:35Under Administrative Order No. 22,
02:39the Special Committee on Human Rights Coordination will form the government.
