00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte formally invited by the House Quad Committee to attend the hearing,

00:06despite the fact that he is still talking about the Umanoy extrajudicial killings.

00:10Mela Lesmora is in the center of the news live. Mela.

00:15Joshua, the new hearing of the House Quad Committee is scheduled for tomorrow.

00:20One of the things that is expected is whether or not the former President Rodrigo Duterte will attend.

00:27According to the Head of the House Quad Committee, Robert Ace Barbers,

00:30they are still waiting for the formal request of the former President Rodrigo Duterte

00:35on whether or not he will attend their hearing tomorrow.

00:39Yesterday, the Joint Panel published their invitation to the former President to attend their hearing.

00:46It is said that the issue of extrajudicial killings is being discussed here

00:51when the administration asked Duterte if he is willing to come and clarify his position.

00:57If the House Committee on Human Rights Head and Quadcom Co-Chair Bienvenido Abante Jr. will ask him

01:03if he is willing to face the former President.

01:06But if not, they said that they have invited other resource persons.

01:11Meanwhile, earlier, some officials from the Office of the Solicitor General faced the media.

01:19Congressmen from the OSG formally turned over their important documents from their hearings.

01:26These are evidence of wrong transactions and actions of some Chinese nationals in the country

01:32that are involved in illegal smuggling and illegal drug trade,

01:36including the titles of thousands of hectares of land named after some Chinese nationals.

01:43According to these documents, Quadcom's recommendation to the OSG

01:47is to eat for future cases and to stop illegal smuggling.

01:51The OSG assured that they will study this well.

01:55Let's go back to the part of the statement of some House leaders earlier.

01:59This is a big discovery here,

02:03in the large amount of land bought by Chinese nationals.

02:07We know that the Constitution prohibits

02:12foreign nationals from acquiring 100% ownership

02:17of our lands and the establishment of corporations.

02:24Today, just to let the people know

02:30that this is the work of Quadcom.

02:34And we want to emphasize that Quadcom has no politics,

02:40but only work.

02:42We were invited by our former president to appear.

02:46Not as a person that we are accusing,

02:50but to clarify all these things.

02:54Particularly the EJK.

02:56Because Colonel Espinito mentioned

03:00and other politicians

03:04that there is an EJK.

03:06If for example, the president cannot come,

03:10we expect him to come

03:12because he said in the media

03:14that if he is invited,

03:16he will come.

03:18So I think,

03:20there is no doubt

03:22that he might come.

03:24If he doesn't come,

03:26we still have witnesses

03:28that will speak

03:30about these things.

03:33Joshua, aside from the former president Duterte,

03:37Quadcom insists that they will continue

03:39their interpellation

03:41to other witnesses and resource persons

03:43that they face

03:45whenever they hear

03:47and what they say

03:49and what they really want to hear

03:51in the Quadcom hearings

03:53is the truth and justice. Joshua?

03:55Yes Mela, we understand

03:57that Quadcom is repeatedly inviting

03:59the former president Rodrigo Duterte.

04:01If Mela still doesn't face him tomorrow,

04:03will it reach the point

04:05of putting him in contempt

04:07by the congressmen?

04:11Joshua, it is good

04:13that you asked.

04:15Earlier in the press conference,

04:17it was one of the questions

04:19that was asked to our Quadcom leaders

04:21because in social media,

04:23there are people accusing Quadcom

04:25that if they face the former president Duterte,

04:27they will face contempt

04:30by the congressmen.

04:32But Joshua, the clarification

04:34of our joint panel,

04:36they say that it depends on the situation

04:38and they cannot advance

04:40unless they face

04:42the former president Rodrigo Duterte

04:44in their hearings.

04:46As what Quadcom co-chair

04:48Stephen Paduano said,

04:50he is one of those who always motions

04:52a contempt order

04:54to their witnesses or resource persons

04:56who are accused

04:59of lying or hiding information.

05:01He said that

05:03to every resource person,

05:05they really look at the testimony

05:07to see if they are lying

05:09or hiding information.

05:11Those are the possible reasons

05:13for a person to face contempt.

05:15But Joshua,

05:17Quadcom said that

05:19they will give proper respect

05:21and respect to the former president Duterte

05:23as he also served

05:25as the former president of the country.

05:27They don't want to answer in particular

05:29what might happen

05:31because they want to know

05:33first and foremost

05:35if the former president Duterte

05:37will advance in their hearings.

05:39Joshua.
