00:00A man and his mother were crossing the road in a wheelchair in Nagcarlan, Laguna.

00:06Suddenly, a motorcycle bumped into them.

00:09The man threw himself while the rider and the woman in the wheelchair were running.

00:14The mother was rushed to the hospital where she sustained injuries to her body.

00:18Both parties talked and the rider said that he will take care of her.

00:24The rider explained that he did not immediately notice that the victims were crossing the pedestrian lane.

00:32In connection with the investigation of the House Squad Committee on War on Drugs by the Duterte Administration,

00:37we will talk to Solicitor General Menardo Guevara.

00:40Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:45Good morning, Rafi.

00:46Yes.

00:47I will be joining your program.

00:49Yes.

00:50What is your reaction to the investigation of the House Squad Committee on War on Drugs by the Duterte Administration

00:55and the revelations that are coming out of this?

00:58Rafi, you know, it's a very good thing that this Quadcom hearings and investigation happened

01:06because they're doing precisely what the ICC prosecutor intended to do

01:14if they will conduct an investigation here.

01:17So it's a very positive thing that the legislative inquiry,

01:22which was initially the purpose of the Quadcom,

01:27went home.

01:28More or less, their investigation went home.

01:32That's why the things that happened during the so-called drug war are slowly coming out.

01:39That's exactly the plan of the ICC prosecutor if they went here.

01:45But there are people who are saying that the Quadcom is being taken over by the ICC.

01:51What is your reaction to this?

01:52Rafi, in all likelihood, the ICC is monitoring this because they have representatives who are here.

02:01We know who they are and they are attending the Quadcom hearings.

02:06That's why I'm sure that everything that's happening in the Quadcom investigation is being reported to the ICC,

02:12the Office of the Prosecutor.

02:14But are you saying that the work of this Quadcommittee is enough

02:19because the ICC will not investigate anymore?

02:22Yes, I think so.

02:24First of all, the ICC cannot exercise jurisdiction over us

02:31because when they started their investigation,

02:35we withdrew more than two years from the Rome Statute or the ICC.

02:41That's why in terms of being able to exercise their jurisdiction, it's really not possible.

02:46We cannot stop the ICC if they still want to investigate.

02:51That's why they have no hope of cooperation on the part of the government

02:56because we don't have a legal duty to do that because we are not members anymore.

03:00But the relatives of the AJK victims are saying that they cannot get justice here in the Philippines

03:06that's why they are sleeping in the ICC.

03:08What is your reaction to this?

03:10I think it's not true, Raffy.

03:13If they did that in 2017, if they filed a complaint to investigate what happened to their relatives,

03:25maybe by this time, their complaints are already in court.

03:28But what they did is, maybe other groups will also object,

03:34they complained to the ICC in 2017.

03:38It's been seven years since 2017, Raffy.

03:43Where is the investigation of the ICC?

03:46Nothing is happening yet.

03:48If they did that here, maybe something will happen by this time.

03:52Some have already arrived in court and some have already been convicted.

03:55It's just a small number.

03:57But the process of investigation and prosecution is still ongoing.

04:03For that, other people are also being prosecuted.

04:06Right, Raffy?

04:08You were part of the Cabinet of the former President Rodrigo Duterte as the Justice Secretary.

04:14Have you heard about the reward system during the drug war?

04:19Raffy, when I was the Justice Secretary, we initiated our own investigation on alleged abuses during the drug war.

04:28The first thing we looked at were the incidents that happened on the ground.

04:32The alleged lapses on the part of law enforcement agencies.

04:36That's why we were not able to reach a deeper investigation.

04:41We were able to finish the administration of President Duterte.

04:47That's why we were hoping that the Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies

04:53will continue our investigation when I was the Justice Secretary.

04:59It's easier now for them to conduct an investigation because the Quadcom has collected new evidence that did not leak during the last administration.

05:12Probably because the witnesses were afraid that it leaked.

05:16But now, all of them are leaking.

05:18That's why it's easier for the DOJ and our law enforcement agencies to build up a case.

05:26Because the evidence is getting more confusing now.

05:29Aside from the lapses you mentioned, have you heard about the reward system?

05:34Raffy, when we were investigating, we were not able to hear about the reward system.

05:39There were only rumours about it.

05:41But there were no actual witnesses who came forward to say that there is a system initiated by people up there.

05:55That's why we can say that there is a scheme.

05:58We were not able to see that because there were no witnesses who came forward to tell the truth or to say that there is a reward system.

06:09But now, these witnesses are leaking.

06:12Should the DOJ investigate this case and not wait for the Quad Committee to finish the report?

06:19You're right Raffy. The Quad Committee doesn't need to finish their investigation and come up with a report.

06:27Because the DOJ, Ombudsman and other government agencies are monitoring this.

06:34So if they think that there is a reasonable basis for them to take over in parallel,

06:42to investigate the people involved in the Quad Committee investigation,

06:47they have the right and the opportunity to conduct or to initiate their own investigation.

06:55Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared with us this afternoon.

06:59Thank you very much Raffy.
