00:00According to the Camera, the former President Rodrigo Duterte is also planning to be invited to the Senate hearing on extrajudicial killings.
00:07But according to a congressman, the hearings of the Camera and the Senate on drug war can be held alone.
00:16Witness, Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:20The lawyer of the former President Rodrigo Duterte told the Quad Committee of the Camera
00:26that the former President will not be able to attend the hearing tomorrow.
00:30Duterte wanted to go, but he short-noticed the invitation of the Quad Committee
00:36and the former President will only return to Davao from Manila on Wednesday.
00:41The former President's mood is not good and he needs to rest.
00:46But the former President agreed to attend the next Quad Committee hearings after November 1.
00:53We will afford him the courtesy due to a former President.
00:58The lead chair of the Quad Committee recommended that the investigation of the Camera and the Senate on war on drugs and extrajudicial killings should not be held alone.
01:11For the House and the Senate conducting a session jointly, that's not new.
01:18But conducting an investigation, I think this is new.
01:22That's why we are proposing that if the rules do not prohibit that, then therefore I guess, to me, we all agree.
01:31But according to Senate President Cheese Escudero,
01:34the rules of the Senate do not allow for a joint investigation with the Camera.
01:40The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee will hold a hearing in the Senate on EJK.
01:46The Congress was able to break the rules.
01:48That's why under the rules of the Senate, only the Blue Ribbon Committee can hold a hearing even if there is no referral from the plenary.
01:56And because Blue Ribbon Chair Senator Pia Cayetano is in an Energy Summit,
02:02Senate Minority Leader and Justice Committee Chair Coco Pimentel will lead the hearing.
02:09We can hold the hearing in these coming two weeks.
02:13The hearing will begin at the beginning of Duterte's term from 2016 until the end of 2022.
02:22The former police officer and former PCSO General Manager Roina Garma and former NAPOCOM Commissioner Edilberto Leonardo will be present.
02:33The former president can also participate in the Senate hearing.
02:38Pimentel assured that the investigation will be fair.
02:42Of course, if he's willing to go, then maybe we can set it in the second hearing.
02:47Let's finish all the allegations in the first hearing so that in the second hearing, we can answer them.
02:54Senator Bato Dela Rosa said that he wants the committee on public order and dangerous drugs to lead the investigation.
03:04But he agreed that Blue Ribbon will conduct the investigation.
03:09Dela Rosa was the first PNP chief appointed by Duterte during the outbreak of the drug war.
03:14The public deserves to know the truth.
03:17That's why I am happy that this investigation will be handled by the Blue Ribbon Committee of the Senate because I know the truth will come out.
