Transcript

00:00In the midst of all this, some leaders of the Camera, who are just pretending to be honest and have nothing to do with politics,

00:07are doing a Quad Committee hearing.

00:09Mela Lesmora has the details.

00:14Senator Ronald Bator de la Rosa clarified that he has no problem with the Quad Committee of the Camera

00:21and that there is no case even if they continue their investigation.

00:25Last Friday, the Quad Committee of the Camera held a joint hearing

00:31regarding the illegal pogos, illegal drugs, and extradjudicial killings committed by the administration.

00:38De la Rosa said that he has no problem with the Quad Committee of the Camera, except for one committee that is part of it.

00:44What I don't like is the investigation about the alleged AJK of work on drugs.

00:50That's the committee that is investigating, that's the committee that I see that is just a replacement for the investigation.

01:01But all others, the other committee that is involved in the investigation, like the pogo,

01:06let's investigate the pogo. We don't have any content.

01:10The one with Abante, Congressman Abante, the same issue, the human rights, the same issue.

01:15It's just the opposite.

01:16The House Committee on Human Rights chair, Bienvenido Abante Jr. immediately responded.

01:21He said that they just want the truth to be revealed, which is something that should be ignored.

01:28If he has something to say, don't say it to the media, say it to the Quad Committee so that his answers will be clear.

01:38We are giving him the opportunity, due process for him to resign and for us to be able to know his feelings about this.

01:50Actually, you know, the first thing I will say is that this is just a job, no personality, no politics.

01:58Vice President Sara Duterte was the first to say that political harassment is happening to their family.

02:06His brother and his wife, Sinadavo City First District Representative Paulo Duterte and Atty. Man Scarpio,

02:14are also being accused of illegal drugs even though they have denied it before.

02:19The House Committee on Public Order and Safety chair, Dan Fernandez,

02:23said that their investigation has nothing to do with politics and that it's not harassment.

02:28Our investigation started last year.

02:32We have conducted separate hearings in the Committee on Public Orders, Public Accounts, and Human Rights.

02:42And basically, they were not separated from BBM during that time.

02:49House Deputy Majority Leader Jude Asidre added that it would be better if those who are involved in the issue

02:55would just face the truth so that they can give the truth to them.
