00:00Senator Risa Ontiveros urged the entire Senate to investigate the war on drugs of the Duterte administration.

00:06In the next round, the Senate will hear again about the abuse in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

00:13We will now listen to Senator Risa Ontiveros. Good morning, Senator.

00:18Good morning also, Igan and to all our listeners.

00:22Since you are the one who raised the issue, does Senate President Chis Escudero already know about the possible investigation by the Senate regarding the drug war?

00:34Well, I will just follow up on what I said to SP Chis Igan.

00:42First of all, it is very important that we know the truth about the bloody war on drugs,

00:50especially for the families of the victims of the EJ case.

00:55I will ask the Senate leadership to have a Senate Committee of the Whole,

01:02where the entire Senate will investigate the war on drugs of the past administration.

01:08Because of the Senate Committee of the Whole, I hope that the victim survivors of the war on drugs will be more open-minded and informed.

01:21We should listen to them so we can know the whole truth.

01:27Is this better than the committee of Senator Bato de la Rosa, the Committee on Public Order and Security?

01:36Well, any committee in the Senate should refer to a resolution or privileged speech.

01:46Each of us chairs a committee. Of course, it's a presumption of regularity in our chairing.

01:53In my opinion, the EJ case in the past administration is so important that,

02:01just like some other important issues in the past,

02:06the entire Senate, as the Committee of the Whole, should look into it.

02:14How will the process be like the two Senators, former President Duterte, who are involved in the issue of war on drugs?

02:23There are many Senators. Even if it's just one committee, especially when it's the Committee of the Whole,

02:32all of us have the opportunity and the right to go there and ask questions under the leadership of the chair.

02:41The Senate Committee of the Whole has a Senate president.

02:46Is former President Duterte also included in the invitation?

02:50Well, if the Committee of the Whole and the SP will continue to chair those committees,

02:58they will be the ones to decide who will be the resource persons to be invited.

03:04In other words, just like the field of Apollo Quiboloy, who went to the Senate.

03:10What if PASIG-RTC agrees here?

03:14Well, if PASIG-RTC agrees, we will definitely respect it and we will be happy with the Senate.

03:23Quiboloy should just listen.

03:27I expect that the court will not allow Quiboloy to go to the Senate sitting next week.

03:35After all, the Senate is the first to eat the arrest order against him to show us the investigation.

03:42Now that he's under the authority, there's no doubt that he's not a spy.

03:47We will confront Quiboloy.

03:50We will get access to the Senate because there are many victims.

03:55We want witnesses to fight for their dignity and the whole truth.

04:03Thank you very much Senator Riza Ontiveros.

04:06Thank you very much also.

04:33Thank you very much.

05:03Thank you very much.
