00:00For the first time, former Senator Laila de Lima faced the hearing of the House Quad Committee on War on Drugs by the current administration.

00:10This is a chance for them to confront former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:15But the former president is no-show because his feelings are bad.

00:19That's what Mela Lesmora's live report. Mela?

00:23At this point, the hearing of the House Quad Committee continues.

00:32And one of the witnesses here is former Senator Laila de Lima.

00:39Are you retracting all the testimonies that you gave against Senator de Lima during that Senate investigation?

00:48Yes, Your Honor.

00:49At the final hearing of the House Quad Committee on illegal drugs and hominid extrajudicial killings during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte,

00:59Retired Police Colonel Jovi Espinido also returned.

01:02He verified the first testimony of the hominid drug lord, Curwin Espinosa,

01:07about the hominid intent of selling drugs to former Senator Laila de Lima in illegal drug trade.

01:12He also fully returned his testimony against de Lima, who was killed by him during the Senate investigation.

01:19I am one also a victim.

01:21I just joined the list of drugs.

01:24Espinido even put a high value target.

01:27That's why I'm saying that the list is not true because I'm the victim.

01:32Did Senator put this on the list of liars?

01:35Mr. Chair, that's why I didn't put your name because you didn't follow their wishes until the end.

01:41Okay. That's one of the reasons, Your Honor, Mr. Chair.

01:44Espinido was right in front of de Lima when he gave a statement earlier.

01:49In the first instance, de Lima also gave a testimony in the Quad Committee on the war on drugs of former President Duterte,

01:56particularly in the Human Rights Reward System, which was initiated by the Mayor of Davao City, Duterte.

02:03According to a witness in the 2009 CHR investigation,

02:08during the first period of the DDS from 1988 to 2000, the assassins were paid 15,000 for every victim,

02:165,000 goes to the police handler and 10,000 to the assassins,

02:23who at the time consisted of rebel returnees aside from the active duty policemen who were their handlers.

02:31The MRRD sometimes personally gave out the kill orders and the reward money directly to the assassins themselves.

02:40Personally, former President Duterte would have been able to answer these accusations in the Quad Committee,

02:46but he didn't go there because it was a short notice and he also felt bad about it.

02:51Some congressmen also criticized the former president's lack of responsibility.

02:56House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro even asked to cite him as incontent if he will not attend the next hearing.

03:04The Joint Panel has yet to discuss this, but they insisted that Duterte's camera has no special treatment.

03:12Are we giving special treatment to a witness just because he is the former president?

03:20I beg to disagree, Your Honor, that we are giving special treatment.

03:25I am saying and stating for the record that we extend the courtesy due to a former president.

03:33I don't have any special favors here.

03:35If I missquote, that's the only thing I want to say.

03:43The issue of the assassinations of some former mayors during the administration was also discussed here in the Quad Committee.

03:53At this point, the one to blame for the interpellation of congressmen is former NAPOCOM Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo.

04:02Thank you very much, Mela Lesmora.
