NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years of learning in 34 hours.
00:12Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Ming Danao.
00:16Former President Rodrigo Duterte admitted to the Senate that he had established a Davao Death Squad.
00:24He was also the mayor who was led by wealthy businessmen who wanted to kill criminals.
00:33Duterte also promised the full responsibility for his campaign against drugs when he became president.
00:39But when asked directly if the responsibility for those who died in the drug war is included,
00:45he said that criminal responsibility is a different story.
00:49And from the Senate, Sandra Aguinaldo was on live.
00:53Sandra.
00:56Mel, Emil, Vicky, the discussion was heated earlier after Senator Rizal Tivero asked former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:06if he still accepts the full responsibility for the death of Kian Ramos
01:11and other victims of the drug war during the Duterte administration.
01:16The former president first announced that he is accepting the responsibility for the drug war of his administration.
01:25What about the result of the police who killed thousands of people along with Kian De Los Santos?
01:31Do you also take full responsibility for that?
01:34Do you assume responsibility for the death of Kian De Los Santos?
01:38No.
01:39No.
01:40How about Carl Anastasino?
01:44Before you ramble on those many things.
01:46No, no, no. I'm not rambling, Mr. Chair.
01:48My questions are very specific.
01:50No, the law is specific. Guilt is personal.
01:55Ask the lawyer first.
01:56It's okay. I can ask the lawyer.
01:59Go ahead. Ask him now before we proceed.
02:02No, no, no. I already prepared these questions with my legislative staff.
02:06Guilt is personal.
02:07Yes, it's very personal.
02:09You can't pass that to others.
02:11I take full responsibility for what I said about the war on drugs.
02:17You said, sir, you can hold me responsible for any death.
02:22Yes, sir. You spoke about specific crimes.
02:26Besides, if I say I will take full responsibility, when we go to court, they won't accept that.
02:35Well, Mr. Chair, and if the resource person could keep his volume and pitch to a normal level.
02:43Mr. Chair, you are pinned down by your own statements of October.
02:48No, no, no, Mr. Chair.
02:50I'm not trying to pin you down on H2O.
02:55Mr. Chair, do not pin me down on semantics.
02:58Okay.
03:29I can make the confession now, if you want.
03:36Mr. Chair.
03:37It really happened to me.
03:41I have a death squad.
03:46Death squad.
03:48Seven, but not the police.
03:52They are also the gangsters.
03:55Mr. Chair.
03:56I order you to kill one of the gangsters.
03:59If you don't kill him, I will kill you now.
04:03In front of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee that investigated the war on drugs.
04:09This is what former President Rodrigo Duterte said when he went to talk about the Davao Death Squad.
04:15When the former President talked to the Senators, it became unclear.
04:20You mentioned that you have your own death squad.
04:24Is that what you're trying to tell us so we won't be confused?
04:28I mean, can we be very clear?
04:31It's not a death squad.
04:33This is a direct statement.
04:37It's not a death squad.
04:39As long as the people in Davao know that I'm there,
04:44and you commit a heinous crime,
04:48and no one can go to the victim,
04:56that's me.
04:57What is the structure of that death squad?
05:01Structure against crime and criminals.
05:05What is the set-up?
05:08And who are those seven members of the death squad?
05:11To fight crime?
05:13No, sir.
05:14The name you said,
05:16why are there seven people in your death squad?
05:25It's okay, sir.
05:26What are their names?
05:32You know, when I was mayor,
05:34I was about 43.
05:38I am now 73.
05:40For the life of me,
05:43I cannot remember the name.
05:45Is there a reward for those seven people when they die?
05:49No, ma'am.
05:52There are many idiots who are rich in Davao.
05:55What is the connection between the rich in Davao and the members of the death squad?
05:58They want to die.
06:00Because they want their city to be safe.
06:03Duterte has no orders as president to kill the police who are involved in drugs.
06:08Call of duty.
06:10Of the president.
06:12That's me.
06:14Because I was the president at the time.
06:17And I did not lack anything, Mr. Senator.
06:24I warned everyone who heard about the Philippines.
06:30If you are addicted to drugs,
06:34let it go.
06:35Drop it.
06:36Drop it.
06:38Because we will really have problems.
06:42If we see each other in a corner holding a drug,
06:47that's really a problem.
06:49Someone will be killed.
06:51But it was not a state-sponsored killing.
06:58But Duterte said that he has orders from the police
07:01to kill the criminals who are involved in drugs.
07:04Earlier you said that you encouraged the PNP
07:09to encourage the suspects to fight
07:12so that they can be killed,
07:13so that the fight can be declared.
07:15Correct.
07:16Correct.
07:17To minimize.
07:18This is very incorrect.
07:19Correct. Yes.
07:20Very incorrect, I may say, as a civilian.
07:23Let me go back, sir.
07:25I will do that again.
07:28Doubled.
07:29Osaa, Osaa, silence the gallery
07:32and those who will do that again,
07:35exclude them from the hearing hall.
07:38Gallery, please do not encourage.
07:41Duterte also said that he did not call
07:43retired Colonel Ruyina Garma in 2016
07:46to ask the police to find a member of the Church Of Christ
07:49for the task force against drugs.
07:52You are lying.
07:56Why?
07:57Why would I choose the Church Of Christ?
08:00I will just join the Aglipay,
08:04the Mormons.
08:06Why would I zero in on the Church Of Christ?
08:09For what reason?
08:11Duterte also insisted in the hearing
08:13that he gave orders to the police
08:15not to be involved in drugs
08:17but to kill these people.
08:19Duterte did not directly answer
08:21if he was accused.
08:28Vicky, what President Duterte Rito said
08:32is that he has been killing for a long time
08:34but until now, there has been no case against him.
08:38Last night at 6 o'clock,
08:40the former President Duterte left the Senate.
08:43Vicky?
08:44Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
08:48The former President Duterte did not apologize
08:53to the relatives of the victims
08:55in the bloody drug war of his administration.
08:59He said that in front of the relatives of the dead
09:04and the former Senator Laila de Lima
09:07who was also involved in drugs.
09:09The former President also said
09:11that the drug pushers are now back in action
09:15which is worthy of praise by many.
09:18Ma'am Gonzalez has the floor.
09:24The former President Rodrigo Duterte
09:27and Senator Laila de Lima
09:29arrived early at the hearing of the Senate Duribon Subcommittee
09:32on the war against drugs of the administration of Duterte.
09:35Well, it's mixed feelings.
09:37Mixed feelings because they are asking me
09:40what they did to me.
09:43I am here to make an accounting
09:47of what I did as President.
09:51So, there is no problem.
09:55This is the first time the two will face each other
09:58since Duterte was imprisoned
10:00after he was convicted of illegal drug trade in the Philippines.
10:03Allegations were also filed by the court.
10:06At the hearing, there was only one seat between the two.
10:10You are not looking to the left.
10:12Did Senator de Lima notice you?
10:15No, he didn't.
10:17He's just here.
10:37Just to lighten the mood.
10:40In front of de Lima and his family
10:43who died under the Duterte drug war,
10:46Duterte said he will not apologize.
10:49Do not question my policies
10:53because I offer no apologies,
10:58no excuses.
11:01I did what I had to do.
11:05And whether you believe it or not,
11:09I did it for my country.
11:13For all of its successes and shortcomings,
11:19I, and I alone,
11:24take full legal responsibility.
11:29For all that the police have done
11:32pursuant to my order,
11:35I will be held accountable.
11:37And I will be jailed, not the police
11:40who pursued my order.
11:42What a pity!
11:43They're just working.
11:45I think that's too much
11:47to say that we all fought.
11:50We don't even have the death penalty.
11:53There is no honor in punishment like tokhang.
11:57It should not be an honor to be called the punisher
12:01when thousands of innocent people,
12:04including babies,
12:05have died in your name.
12:07The war on drugs will never be glorified by the Filipinos.
12:14For GMA Integrated News,
12:16Mav Gonzalez,
12:17for 24 Hours.

13:09that is being carried out in Camp Sur continues.

14:5224 Hours.
14:54Because of the flood left by Baguio-Cristin,
14:56a week stranded
14:58at Maharlika Highway,
15:00some motorists traveled to Manila
15:02from Punaga City.
15:04They had to ride a bus for 10 days
15:06to reach Manila.
15:08There is hope now
15:10from Pilica Marina Sur.
15:12John Consulta is live.
15:18According to PNP-PRO5,
15:20all types of vehicles
15:22that were stranded
15:24at Camp Sur
15:26and Naga City
15:28for a week
15:30can now pass.
15:32The flood.
15:36The number of trucks
15:38and vehicles
15:40trying to travel to Manila
15:42from Naga City
15:44can reach up to 3 km.
15:46Most of them
15:48were stranded for a week
15:50because they couldn't pass
15:52Baywang na Baha at Maharlika Highway.
15:54We arrived here
15:56a week ago.
15:58We want to go back to Manila.
16:00For us, it's better
16:02because we can still go out.
16:04Three hours stop
16:06and three hours go.
16:08Let's talk to the other line.
16:10This bus
16:12came from Ormoc.
16:14The passengers have been riding for 10 days
16:16and they are stranded at their homes
16:18and don't have money to buy food.
16:20One of them is the OFW
16:22Amflor who has a flight
16:24to Qatar this Wednesday.
16:26I have a flight to catch
16:28for Wednesday.
16:30We have to be there by Tuesday.
16:32We don't have food here.
16:34Maharlika Highway
16:36from Manila to Matnog
16:38is open.
16:40Because of the number of people
16:42stranded, we are controlling
16:44the entrance
16:46because we are prioritizing
16:48relief goods and immediate needs
16:50of our victims.
16:52PNP-PRO5 brought their
16:54water desalination equipment
16:56to the town of Nabwa
16:58where we were able to get
17:00relief goods.
17:02They are asking for clean drinking water
17:04that the residents need here.
17:06We need clean water.
17:08Clean water.
17:12Thank you very much.
17:14PNP-PRO5 also deployed
17:16police to monitor
17:18the facilities so that
17:20the entrance to a convenience store
17:22won't be repeated one day after
17:24the storm.
17:26We were able to
17:28ship a mission
17:30that the
17:32establishments are waiting for
17:34to prevent
17:36another case of
17:38looting.
17:40As a help to the evacuees,
17:42the GMA Kapusin Foundation
17:44did a feeding program in Naga City.
17:46At this time, Emil, you can see
17:48behind me, on the side of the road,
17:50there is a long line of
17:52trucks here in
17:54Maharlika Highway, in the Philippines
17:56According to the drivers we talked to,
17:58they are just waiting for the notice
18:00from the PNP personnel
18:02who are in charge to start
18:04their journey
18:06back to Metro Manila.
18:08That's all for now here in the Philippines.
18:10Back to you, Emil.
18:12Thank you very much, John Consulta.
18:14Because of the
18:16storm,
18:18a minor in Manila
18:20was killed.
18:22Among the suspects,
18:24SK Kagawad, the root of the crime
18:26in the shooting of Jomer Apresto.
18:32In this scene, in front of Barangay
18:34894, we can see
18:3615-year-old Alias Ley
18:38with his friend who is shouting
18:40at the people of the barangay.
18:42They were sleeping at the time of the first incident
18:44of the beating of SK Kagawad
18:46to another minor
18:48who was left in the parking lot.
18:50Later, we will see SK Kagawad
18:52walking near the barangay
18:54where the victim was.
18:56He did not touch the minor.
18:58His friend ran away
19:00but SK Kagawad
19:02and his other companions
19:04followed them until
19:06they reached a store
19:08on F. Manalo Street.
19:10There, SK Kagawad and
19:12a man who is a relative
19:14of an official in the barangay
19:16were beaten up.
19:18While the other men in the video
19:20were in the barangay.
19:22It was not recorded in the CCTV
19:24but the victim suddenly lost consciousness
19:26and fainted.
19:28The two suspects immediately left
19:30and they chased the victim's friend.
19:32Later, the two returned
19:34the victim who fainted.
19:36They took him away and walked away
19:38as if nothing happened.
19:40The victim's companion helped
19:42him to be rushed to the hospital.
19:44For now, the victim has been shot.
19:46Based on the autopsy report,
19:48the victim died of a head injury.
19:50The mother of the victim
19:52did not believe that the group
19:54of her son raped
19:56the girlfriend of one of the suspects.
19:58Someone told them
20:00that the rape was red.
20:02But my son
20:04and his friends
20:06are white.
20:08My son's friend
20:10and his son
20:12were the ones who were hit.
20:14It was very painful.
20:16The barangay did not immediately help
20:18the child who complained to them.
20:20As you can see in the CCTV,
20:22our barangay health worker
20:24immediately stood up.
20:26As you can see in the CCTV,
20:28the audience went to the dike site.
20:30The two suspects are now in the custody
20:32of the Manila Police District.
20:34We are still trying to let them breathe.
