“In a sense, yes, kasi wala na ako magawa eh.”
Ito ang naging tugon ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte nang tanungin siya ni Rep. Gerville Luistro kung handa ba siyang akuin ang buong responsibilidad para sa mga legal at illegal na aktibidad bilang isang extrajudicial confession of guilt of sound, mind, and body.
Dagdag pa ni Duterte, “It is not a confession, it is a statement coming from the mouth of a mayor or a president at the time… Do not characterize that as a wrong.”
Pagkatapos nito, iginiit niyang hindi na kailangan ng nakasulat na dokumento dahil nakatala na sa pagdinig ang kanyang tugon sa tanong ni Luistro.

00:00going back to your statement that you are taking full legal responsibility to
00:06all the victims of war on drugs both legal and illegal. It is my humble
00:13submission, Mr. Chair, that the former president can be considered liable for
00:22all these crimes under the theory of conspiracy by being a principal by
00:29inducement. I wish to manifest, Mr. Chair, that without the order, without the
00:37reward, these police operatives should not have resulted to killing a huge
00:46number of victims of war on drugs. I beg to disagree with your premise, ma'am. I
00:54understand, Mr. President, but that is a manifestation. Yes, but you know, the police are supposed to do his duty.
01:01He goes to school for two years, he received instructions on how to go about his
01:09duty, and we have to give the presumption of regularity. That's a
01:19principle, principle of law. Thank you, Mr. President. In your favor is the
01:28principle of regularity, presumption of regularity, of performance of official
01:36duty, Mr. President. Thank you for your enlightenment. Mr. President, I wish to
01:44ask, with all due respect, considering your statement of taking full legal
01:50responsibility, both to legal and illegal activities, can I equate this statement
01:58of yours to an extrajudicial confession of guilt? Well, in a sense, yes. Wala na ako magawa eh.
02:07Are you saying yes, Mr. President? Yes, because I ordered the campaign against
02:14the drug syndicates. At kung anong ginagwa nila, whether illegal or not, it was ako ang nag-otos. In that sense, I take that
02:32responsibility of their actions. Wala akong magawa eh. Commander ako, nag-otos ako. Puntahanin nyo yan.
02:41Eh, just like a commander, or not a military, police, i-otosan mo. Pag may nangyari diyan, magkabulyaso, whether right or wrong,
02:53EU yan. EU talaga yan. Kung hindi ka pa namang bobo na mayor, hindi mo iwanan yung tao na inotosan mo, unless yung pumunta
03:09doon, inotosan mo mag-operate, illegal gambling, or mga droga, tapos nag-rape, kung anong ginagawa ng kabalastogan, ako na mismo ang papatay.
03:25Hindi na kailangan na hintayin mo pa. Mr. President, earlier, you conformed to my statement that I can equate your statement of taking
03:37full legal responsibility as an extrajudicial confession of guilt. You said yes to that? No, I'm just reiterating the question, Mr. President.
03:48It's not about guilt or wrong. What I'm saying is that yung lahat ng inotosan ko yung war against drugs, yung isang platoon or batalion, kung ano yung ginagawa nila, I take full responsibility for that.
04:12Mr. President, you are surrounded by, I believe, four lawyers. Hindi ko na kailangan, ma'am. Because you are a lawyer yourself. I can take care of myself.
04:22And of course, you understand the elements of an extrajudicial confession. Yes. You confirmed that you are of sound mind.
04:32And not only that, body as well. Yes. You confirmed that your statement is voluntary. Yes. And of course, you confirmed that you understand the consequences of your extrajudicial confession.
04:49Hindi naman alam ko, hindi naman ito kurte. I understand, Mr. President. That's why we call it extrajudicial confession.
04:57It is not a confession. It is a statement coming from the mouth of a mayor or a president at that time. It is not a confession. You are characterizing...
05:14Malik, ma'am. Do not characterize that as wrong. Palisihan.
05:23The only one that is missing among these elements is that it should be in writing. And my question will be, will you be willing to translate into writing the statement that you earlier said?
05:40Hindi na nga ako marunong iyong permako noon. Hindi na nga permako ngayon.
05:47But of course, you have lawyers to help and assist you prepare this written document.
05:52Hindi ko na kailangan yan. Babayit ko pa writing. Dito na ngayon. It's documented by the records here. Magtanong na kayo na magtanong. Anong gusto mong tanong yan?
