00:00The Commission on Human Rights does not have full access to data on former President Rodrigo
00:06Duterte's drug war for the last eight years.
00:09CHR Chair Richard Palpalatok says the police refused to cooperate and declined to give
00:14documents.
00:15The police justify withholding documents using the Marcos administration's list of exemptions
00:20released by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
00:23The list qualifies former President Rodrigo Duterte's Executive Order No. 2, or Freedom
00:27of Information or FOI policy, in 2016.
00:31EO No. 2 mandates all agencies must be transparent and release documents and other information
00:36to the public.
00:37Bersamin's list negates EO No. 2's intent.
00:40The EO is now being challenged before the Supreme Court as it was used to justify secrecy
00:44in the use of confidential funds.
