00:00Let's be together in being...
00:08TAXI!
00:15The House Quad Committee's hearing on War on Drugs has been going on for 12 hours
00:20with former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:23The former president convened the International Criminal Court yesterday.
00:27The ICC came to the Philippines to investigate the matter.
00:31And there were some hot answers,
00:34particularly from the former president and well-known critics of his administration,
00:39former Senator Laila Delima and former Senator Antonio Chelanez IV.
00:44Let's witness Jonathan Andar.
00:50I'm asking the ICC to hurry up
00:53and if possible, they can come here and start the investigation tomorrow.
01:01Former President Rodrigo Duterte said several times
01:04that since he was the president,
01:06he has not recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or ICC in the Philippines.
01:11But he challenged his first meeting with the House Quad Committee
01:15to go to the Philippines to investigate the war on drugs.
01:20This issue has been left hanging for so many years.
01:29So I'm asking the ICC through you
01:39and if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.
01:45He is not afraid of the ICC.
01:48The ICC does not scare me a bit.
01:54They can come here anytime.
01:57No excuses.
01:59No apologies.
02:02If I go to hell,
02:04so be it.
02:07Give me money and I will go to the ICC.
02:10Duterte defended the killings of the war on drugs.
02:13He also admitted that he killed someone.
02:15Did you commit the killings?
02:19Me? A lot.
02:22About six or seven.
02:25I was not finalized in the hospital.
02:31A lot of police killed me in Davao.
02:35Criminals.
02:36I was the one who committed the killings.
02:40He also ordered the killings of drug manufacturers and distributors,
02:44but not of drug addicts.
02:46He said not of addicts.
02:48I said drug dealers and drug users.
02:52Why would he kill an addict?
02:54Bring him to the hospital.
02:56I will admit that I ordered the drug manufacturers
03:01and big-time drug distributors to kill me.
03:11He also admitted that he planted evidence.
03:14We planted evidence.
03:16It's true.
03:17So you really planted the evidence?
03:19That was part of the strategy as a mayor.
03:22He also admitted that the police received money from the drug war,
03:26but not P20,000 to P1,000,000 per kill,
03:30which was distributed by the former trustee of the police, Rojina Garma.
03:34This is the one who committed the killings.
03:36P20,000 to P1,000,000?
03:38No, sir.
03:39There was a police operation.
03:41The police knows about it.
03:44I am funding it.
03:46For a particular project.
03:51If they accomplish it,
03:54the police officer or the lead officer will say,
04:00sir, there was an operation.
04:03That's not it.
04:05For the boys.
04:07That's it, sir.
04:09Mr. Chair?
04:10Reward.
04:11Correct.
04:12Very correct.
04:14It's really true.
04:17And sometimes, I will give more.
04:21Duterte refused to answer Representative Raul Manuel's question
04:24about the confidential funds from the office of the President.
04:28That's why the intelligence called it confidential.
04:34So don't ask what confidential I did.
04:38It's confidential.
04:42I am protecting the interest of the Republic when I dispense confidential funds.
04:48Do not make me account for something which I cannot do legally.
04:56But at one point, Duterte said,
04:59the money he used for Pabuya came from the campaign funds.
05:03I still remember that you have mentioned
05:06that the money that came from the donation of your campaign funds
05:12will be utilized for the reward system.
05:16You mentioned that, and I saw the video.
05:18And that's private money, Mr. President?
05:20Yes.
05:21It came from me.
05:22It's not private money.
05:24Because I accepted it.
05:27I held on to it.
05:28The money was...
05:30I was holding on to it already when I was in the office.
05:36The victims of the drug war also suffered.
05:39Because of the images of their loved ones.
05:42We were even more hurt when we found out that there was a reward.
05:47That's how our loved ones' lives were at stake.
05:52It's really hard for us.
05:56Until now, there is no justice.
06:01Because there is no proper investigation for the victims.
06:09Former Senator Leila de Lima was also jailed for almost 7 years
06:13after accusing her of being involved in the Bilibid drug trade.
06:16She was even next to the former president during the hearing.
06:19Do you believe that Secretary de Lima is the mother of all drug lords?
06:24Who said it, sir?
06:25Director Ruel Lazala and Reynaldo Esmeralda,
06:29former NBI officer-in-charge of the Department of Justice.
06:33I would like to congratulate them for making this statement.
06:36Absolutely false.
06:38I have nothing to do with illegal drugs.
06:43It's just part of their propaganda.
06:46He said that you are the lord of all drug lords.
06:49I will not become president if I am like that.
06:54At 4 p.m. yesterday,
06:56the son of the former president, Vice President Sara Duterte, arrived.
06:59He sat next to his father.
07:02The BISE did not hold an interview.
07:05During the hearing,
07:07Duterte promised legal responsibility for the drug war.
07:11He also reiterated the details of Garma's affidavit.
07:15I have not read the affidavit
07:18so that I would not be in a position to correctly really respond to your question.
07:24You are now trying to investigate me.
07:30You are like an investigator.
07:32You are trying to confront me
07:34with the statements made in that affidavit.
07:38And you are trying to exact an answer from me.
07:43If that's the case, let's stop here.
07:48That is not proper.
07:50That is not fair.
07:54Mr. President, we're not...
07:56No, no. I will stand here.
07:58And when Duterte was asked about the seven private citizens
08:01who became members of his death squad...
08:04Even if they exist,
08:06why would I tell you the names?
08:10Now, to you.
08:13Why are you looking at me like I'm stupid?
08:15Give me your name.
08:17You put the family and the persons in danger.
08:23Mr. President...
08:24That is not a proper question.
08:26The former President and Dilima also got angry
08:29when Dilima called Duterte a liar.
08:33He's lying.
08:34When he said that he does not know Laila Dilima,
08:37the former First Sona,
08:40didn't he?
08:41He approached me.
08:43He even held my hand.
08:46So, he doesn't know me?
08:48His hair is different.
08:49I'm just reminding the source person.
08:52So, the next to interpolate
08:56is...
08:59The former Senator Antonio Trillanes to the fourth also came to the hearing.
09:03He's a well-known critic of the Dutertes.
09:05He gave details about the bank transactions of the Dutertes.
09:09These transactions,
09:12there are for Vice President Sara,
09:17for Duterte,
09:19for Baste,
09:21for Pulong Duterte,
09:23and for Hanilef Abancenia.
09:26These are the manager's checks
09:31under their name.
09:33The origin of the account
09:35is one of the drug lords mentioned by
09:39Las Canas,
09:41Sammy Uy.
09:42The drug lord is dividing the money
09:45to the Duterte family
09:48every October and April.
09:52So, it's one after the other.
09:54And by the way,
09:55we can see that Vice President Sara
09:58has two checks
10:01under her name,
10:03manager's checks.
10:05And this is while she was mayor.
10:10So, it's a direct bribery.
10:12The mentioned by Trillanes are not allowed.
10:15I'm willing to execute an affidavit
10:20to summon the banks
10:25or summon to my waiver.
10:30If there is only one truth,
10:33I will hang myself.
10:35If there is only one truth,
10:38I will resign and I will ask my daughter
10:42to resign and everybody in the family.
10:46That is my guarantee.
10:48And I will hang myself.
10:50I will sign the document tomorrow
10:56and I will hand it because
10:58the lawyer will do it.
11:00At one point,
11:01Duterte challenged Trillanes.
11:04There is an iota of...
11:07I will have a big day.
11:09So, in the same manner,
11:12if I have a big day,
11:14Trillanes should sign
11:17and Trillanes should sign with me.
11:20He said that he will give a waiver.
11:23It's all bluff.
11:25So, it's better if we draft it now
11:28for him to sign it here.
11:31Will the former president be okay
11:33that if we draft the waiver now,
11:35that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
11:38What's the alternative, sir?
11:40No.
11:41I will slap him in public.
11:43No.
11:44Now.
11:46I will give you a...
11:48I will sample it in the...
11:50Session suspended.
11:52Yes.
11:56The hearing was suspended for a moment.
11:59In the end,
12:00the judge asked Duterte
12:01to resign at that point of the hearing
12:03and the so-called slap was removed
12:05from the records of the hearing.
12:07For GMA Integrated News,
12:09I am Jonathan Andal,
12:10your witness.
12:13The government will not tolerate this
12:14if the former president, Rodrigo Duterte,
12:16gives up his identity
12:18in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
12:21This was said by the Executive Secretary, Lucas Belzamin,
12:23following the former president's statement
12:25at the hearing of the House Quad Committee
12:27that he is ready to face the investigation of the ICC.
12:30According to the secret,
12:31if the ICC will refer the process to the Interpol
12:33and the Interpol will issue a red notice to the Philippines,
12:37the country will be obliged to consider this.
12:40This means that the Philippine authorities
12:43in the Interpol
12:44will have to follow the protocol.
12:47This October, Malacanang said
12:49that the Philippines will not return
12:51as a member of the ICC.
12:56Back to the evacuation center,
12:58the residents were repeatedly affected
13:00by the following typhoons
13:02and the rescuers became tired and sick.
13:06Witness, James Agustin.
13:09There, it's a bit drowned.
13:12It's a good thing it was caught in a rope.
13:18Rescuers in Amulong, Cagayan
13:20are looking for those who were repeatedly drowned
13:22when this man arrived
13:24who was a bit drowned in the river.
13:26The man who was brought in by the rescuers
13:28was drowning that afternoon.
13:31Many houses, roads, and rivers in Cagayan,
13:34in Tukigarau City,
13:37the water level in Buntun Bridge is still critical.
13:41Residents in evacuation centers
13:42were asked to avoid going home.
13:45Some families were repeatedly brought back
13:47to the evacuation centers
13:49every time a typhoon comes.
13:50We can't do anything
13:52because that's what we're left with.
13:54It's really drowning.
13:57Some rescuers are also getting sick.
13:59Paul is sick.
14:00We're providing him with supplements.
14:04More than 25,000 people
14:07are in the evacuation centers in Cagayan.
14:10In Alicia Isabela,
14:11some families were asked to stay in the evacuation centers
14:15because the typhoon often comes.
14:17We'll stay here for now
14:19because it might happen again.
14:22But Mr. Yonard was able to go home
14:24after two days in the evacuation centers
14:27when he drowned in his broken house.
14:29It's hard to lose a house.
14:35We'll just stay here on this land.
14:37It's hard.
14:38We also have a house here.
14:41We can use it.
14:43If someone wants to help,
14:45even if it's just a little.
14:46In Ilagan City,
14:47there are still 343 families
14:50staying in the evacuation centers.
14:52We're scared because
14:54another typhoon is coming
14:56so we'll stay here for now.
14:59We encourage them to open
15:01our evacuation centers
15:03because we still have Ophel and Pepito
15:06that are expected to pass through Northern Luzon.
15:09So that it's easier for us to evacuate.
15:13The Department of Energy
15:15hasn't given an exact detail
15:17on when the electricity supply will return
15:19to those affected by the typhoon.
15:21We try to respond, of course,
15:23in the fastest way we can.
15:25But if you have a series,
15:28then you come in,
15:31you repair, you restore,
15:33and then get hit again
15:36and you go through the same process again.
15:38So this is what we hope to overcome.
15:43From here in Ilagan City, Isabela,
15:45for GEMI Integrated News,
15:47James Agustin is your witness.
15:50Kapuso,

17:58and the buyer of the firearm
18:00is one of our main suspects

18:18If this continues, we don't know
18:20where and who will use these firearms
