00:00Another former policeman confirms former President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war offered cash incentives
00:09in exchange for killings.
00:11Retired Police Colonel Edelberto Leonardo, in a hearing of the House Quad Committee,
00:15replied in the affirmative when asked if he believed there was a reward system.
00:19But Leonardo claims later his answer was based on stories he heard from colleagues in the
00:23police force.
00:24Retired Police Colonel Regina Garma, in an affidavit, claims Duterte called her in May
00:282016, telling her he, quote, needed someone capable of implementing the war on drugs on
00:34a national scale, replicating the Davao model.
00:37The Davao model refers to a system of payment rewarding successful killings.
00:41Leonardo later corroborated Garma's affidavits, but clarified it was Oplan Double Barrel which
00:47operationalized the drug war.
00:49But he confirmed that as head of the CIDG in Davao region, he validated drug war-related
00:53information for Senator Bong Go, who directly reported to Duterte.
