00:00Senate President Cheese Escudero says the upper chamber's investigation into former
00:05President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war should not be handled by the committee chaired by
00:09Senator Bato De La Rosa.
00:10Escudero says he is looking at other committees.
00:13De La Rosa was involved in the anti-drug campaign during his tenure as police chief.
00:18On Wednesday, October 16, De La Rosa told reporters he will launch his own investigation
00:22because he believes the Senate would be, quote-unquote, more balanced than the House probe.
00:27Retired police colonel Roina Garma directly implicated Duterte in the extrajudicial killings
00:31carried out by the police during his administration and talked about the Davao model.
00:36But De La Rosa denies the existence of the model.
00:39De La Rosa faces allegations of crimes against humanity before the International Criminal
00:43Court.
00:44He earlier confirmed his office received communications from the ICC, but he admitted he had ignored
00:48the international body.
