Naging mainit ang batuhan ng pahayag nina dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at Sen. Risa Hontiveros sa pagdinig ng Senado sa war on drugs ng Duterte administration.
Giit ni chairperson Sen. Koko Pimentel, hindi na produktibo ang palitan sa pagdinig.

00:00How about Carl Anthony Nunez?
00:04Before you ramble on those many things.
00:06No, no, no. I'm not rambling, Mr. Chair.
00:08My questions are very specific.
00:10No, the law is specific.
00:12Guilt is personal.
00:15Ask the lawyer first.
00:17It's okay. I can ask the lawyer.
00:19Go ahead.
00:20Ask now before we proceed.
00:22No, no, no. I already prepared these questions with my legislative staff.
00:26Guilt is personal.
00:27Yes, it's very personal.
00:29It cannot be passed on to others.
00:31No, no, no. It cannot be passed on.
00:33Blue Ribbon is investigating the war on drugs and the result of extrajudicial killings there.
00:39And I am basing my question on what you said repeatedly.
00:44Like every October, you said that you will take responsibility.
00:48Correct.
00:49Yes. So now let me ask you about Carl Anthony Nunez.
00:5220 years old.
00:54No drugs or guns were found on his body.
00:58The investigator said it was a mistaken identity.
01:01Do you take responsibility for his death?
01:05You know, ma'am, can I ask for a recess?
01:17It's all right, Mr. Chair.
01:18Yes, yes, yes. Hearing is suspended.
01:22Can the chair talk to the senator?
01:25Can the resource person not point his finger at a member of the committee?
01:30Mr. President, do you not have the mood to answer questions?
01:34We can excuse you because you said you came here to answer questions.
01:41And Mr. Chair, the chair is fully capable of talking to a member of his subcommittee without being pointed by the resource person.
01:50I am basing it both on the policy question and what the former president said.
02:03Suspended.
02:04Mr. President, you can answer it in the way that you want to answer it.
02:13You may not be able to answer it.
02:17Are we ready? Are we ready to resume?
02:19Can you repeat the question, ma'am?
02:21Wait a minute. Our hearing is resumed.
02:25Thank you, Mr. Chair.
02:26My question is, if you take responsibility, as you said in October 2020, as you said in October 2021 about assuming responsibility for the war on drugs,
02:38do you take responsibility for the death of Carl Anthony Nunez, Mr. Chair?
02:44You know, the policy, ma'am, you did not get the policy of the president.
02:52I got the policy, Mr. Chair.
02:54I was talking about the policy. I take full responsibility for what I said about the war on drugs.
03:02You said, sir, you can hold me responsible for any death.
03:06But if a specific crime happens...
03:08Yes, sir. You spoke about specific crimes.
03:12If I say I will take full responsibility, when we go to court, they will not accept it.
03:20Well, Mr. Chair, and if the resource person could keep his volume and pitch to a normal level...
03:26Sir, you are trying to pin me down on...
03:28Mr. Chair, you are pinned down by your own statements of October.
03:34No, no, no, Mr. Chair.
03:36I'm not trying to pin you down on air.
03:39I'm no longer productive.
03:41Do not pin me down on semantics.
03:44Okay.
