Transcript

00:00More than 20,000 people died in the war on drugs by the Duterte administration.

00:08That's what the House Committee on Human Rights heard about the issue.

00:13Today, even though the Congress issued a Senate D.A. adjournment,

00:17the committee ordered their investigation.

00:20Former Executive Secretary Salvador Medaldea and former PNP chiefs of the former administration

00:28retired Generals Oscar Albayalde and Debold Sinas,

00:33according to House Human Rights Panel Chair Bienvenido Abante Jr.,

00:38they have no other intention in listening but to bring out the truth.

00:42Free Legal Assistance Group Head Attorney Chell Diokno

00:47laid out their findings on the war on drugs,

00:50along with a call for justice.

00:53While the former administration's campus was filled with fierce battles.

01:00There has been much debate about how many persons have been killed in the war on drugs

01:05during the last administration.

01:07Some of the estimates have been as low as 12,000

01:11while the NGOs have put the figure at about 30,000.

01:15But there is one number that is unassailable

01:19because this comes from the office of the President

01:22and was cited in an extended resolution of the Supreme Court.

01:26And that number is 20,322 persons killed in the war on drugs.

01:33Who is the President you're referring to?

01:35The former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Your Honor.

01:39I'm quite surprised with this sweeping statement of Attorney Diokno.

01:43First of all, those copies, so kun meron man,

01:45are part of the Privilege Communication Office of the President.

01:48If there was such a report given, ma'am,

01:51I cannot disclose that because I'm barred.

01:54Kasi, sir, maraming 3,000 na pinatay,

01:59merong 6,200.

02:02Ngayon ho, nagulat ako, merong 20,000.

02:05Eh, ano naman ho ito?

02:07Saan ho galing itong 20,000 na ito?

02:10Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just say,

02:12oh, 15,000 ang pinatay, 20,000 ang pinatay.

02:16Ngayon, 20 na.

02:17Nagumpisa tayo sa 6.

02:19Eh, ano naman yan?

02:21How can we answer with sufficient definite?

02:24Tinatanong ko lang po, have you seen this report po na sinasabi?

02:29I don't think I've seen that report.
