4 House committees bring hearing on drugs, POGOs to Pampanga

Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers talks to media about what the House of Representatives expects in its first 'quad committee' hearing on drugs and the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOs) under the administration of former president Rodrigo Duterte. The joint hearing will be conducted by the Committees on Dangerous Drugs, Public Order and Safety, Human Rights, and Public Accounts on Aug. 16, 2024 at the Bacolor Convention Center in Pampanga. Barbers said that while they were expecting many resource persons, some "surprise witnesses" may also appear.

00:00What do you expect from the people who are watching this first quadcom?
00:06Well, first of all, of course, we will talk to our fellow countrymen to pray for our quadcom
00:14so that we can bring out the truth in the issues that this quad committee is discussing.
00:21Many have expressed their support.
00:26And because of this, hopefully, this will help to bring out the truth
00:32in the issues that surround our society today,
00:38such as the issue of criminality, the issue of drugs, and many other issues.
00:45Sir, more or less, how many are our resource persons?
00:49You know, I have to be honest.
00:52Because the resource persons are our guests who will help in the inquiry.
00:59But the surprise witnesses, we really don't know.
01:03But there are?
01:05Well, apparently, there are.
01:07Because they don't want to talk about the topic that they will support.
01:17So hopefully, they are already here.
01:19They are already here with us.
