00:00The House Quad Committee has yet to say if they will recommend charges against former President Rodrigo Duterte

00:06as it is set to release a progress report on the probe on issues that continue to hound the previous administration.

00:13Mela Las Moras has the details.

00:17The House Quad Committee is expected to present its progress report on Tuesday.

00:22According to Quadcom lead chair Robert Ace Barbers,

00:25it contains their initial findings, proposed legislations, and recommendations regarding the issues on illegal pogos,

00:31illegal drugs, and alleged extrajudicial killings during the previous administration.

00:36He said a preview of their report was shown through the presentation made by Senior Vice Chair Romeo Acop during their 13th hearing.

00:44The Quad Committee has started to uncover a grand criminal enterprise

00:49and it would seem that at the center of it is the former president.

01:01According to Barbers, Acop's statement reflects the sentiments of the entire Quad Committee.

01:06This led the media to ask, will their recommendations include filing charges against former President Rodrigo Duterte

01:12given their belief that he is at the center of this alleged grand criminal enterprise?

01:19Who can recommend charges criminally or administratively for those who are in government still?

01:30Because we don't want to assume that we have no basis.

01:34Yesterday, discussions within the Quad Committee once again became heated.

01:38Former PDA chief Wilkins Villanueva was cited in contempt for allegedly lying and evading questions.

01:45You're not respecting this committee question of command responsibility. Are you not lying?

01:51No, Mr. Chair.

01:52Also, Mr. Chairman, with that, I move to cite in contempt General Wilkins.

01:58I've already given you the answer. That's your answer?

02:03Usually, a contempt citation is followed by an arrest and detention order.

02:07But in the spirit of Christmas, the committee decided to postpone and enforce the order in January.

02:12Prior to this, the Quad Committee had also cited Police Colonel Hector Grijaldo in contempt

02:17due to his repeated absences from the hearings.

02:20While some have been cited for contempt,

02:22there were also personalities who have been cleared of the Quad Committee's contempt orders.

02:26This include former Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Cuo, Cassandra Ong, Tony Yang, and Police Major Leo Larraga.

02:33Melales Moras from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
