00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte will go to the camera later to face the Quad Committee that is investigating the war on drugs of his administration.
00:10Retired Police Colonel Roina Garma, who is said to be close to former President Duterte, will become a state witness of the Justice Department.
00:18Here is the first news, Tina Panganiban-Perez.
00:22Former Police Colonel Roina Garma, who was a former police officer who was involved in the House Quad Committee,
00:29was released from the country by the Umanoy Reward System in the war on drugs of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:36She left with her son.
00:39She took PR-104 last Sunday here.
00:47PR-104. She arrived in the U.S. in San Francisco.
00:52She did not have a hold departure order.
00:55She has not been charged with a crime, so she can leave the country.
00:58She was with her daughter.
01:01But they were stopped at San Francisco Airport in America, according to the DILG Secretary,
01:07because their U.S. visa was canceled.
01:10Apparently, in the course of the hearings of the Senate, her visa was canceled.
01:15So maybe she went to America.
01:20The U.S. INS flagged her.
01:23They detained her.
01:24They are in the process of being sent home here.
01:27The Bureau of Immigration is arranging for their return to the country.
01:32It's time for Garma to return to the country.
01:34According to the Justice Secretary, they will appoint her as a state witness.
01:39We intend to offer her witness protection for that matter.
01:42At least for the matters that the Quadcom is seeking from her.
01:47And of course, there are other things that we are conducting.
01:50The purpose of the case buildup is to make sure that the cases to be filed are strong cases.
01:56She may be part of it in one way or the other.
01:59There's no case against her. She can just go home.
02:03She can, but we will offer her protection.
02:06The House Quad Committee will continue the hearings.
02:09According to the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel of Duterte, Atty. Salvador Panelo, the former president will attend.
02:17Panelo said that Duterte will still go to the House of Representatives to confront the Quadcom
02:23on the cancellation of the hearings when they are not being abused.
02:27The former president wants to schedule the judges for a 10-day marathon hearing.
02:33But the Quadcom said that they did not receive any confirmation regarding the hearing of Duterte.
02:40Their first invitation was snubbed by Duterte.
02:45We're supposed to have a November 13 hearing, but we decided to cancel it.
02:51Now they will say that he's going. What's going on brother?
02:54It's also not true that they have no abuse in Duterte's field.
02:59Because they sent him a letter, the hearing was postponed.
03:03A person from Duterte messaged the Quadcom to say that they received the notice
03:09and Duterte wants to confirm if the hearing is really canceled.
03:14The congressmen only found out through social media that Duterte plans to confront the Quadcom.
03:21Why would our social media get the confirmation?
03:24I mean, we are the ones who officially wrote it.
03:28We did not announce it through social media that we are inviting the former president.
03:34I think they did it on purpose.
03:36Because this was already discussed on Sunday.
03:41That's their style, right?
03:46To make it appear that we are backing this kind of invitation.
03:53According to the Quadcom, they cannot continue the hearing for the former president Duterte
03:59because he's not the only one invited to speak.
04:02Another thing, the camera has a three-day rule
04:05where everyone who attends a hearing must be absent for three days before it is postponed.
04:12This is the first news. Tina Panganiban Perez for GMA Integrated News.
04:18The Quadcommittee lead chairman Robert Ace Barbers confirmed that they will continue the hearing on the drug war today.
