Dagdag pa niya, “I take full responsibility, huwag ka na maghanap ng iba… if you think it is illegal or wrong, go ahead and file a case, I will be happy.”

00:00You mentioned in the Senate hearing that you had a, you had to, seemed to have a distinction. You had the DDS, as you said that the media would portray being the police, no?
00:12You have, you mentioned some of your chief PNP, chief of police of Davao as being members of your death squad. But at another time you mentioned you had a personal death squad na hindi po kapolisan.
00:25You mentioned, I think at least you had seven members here.
00:33Well, Past Mayor, I was fighting crime. I was fighting the insurgents. Remember na, hindi mo lahat maano yung, it's Mindanao.
00:46The insurgents were active, the criminals were active. You cannot utilize all the policemen there. You have to have some mga civilians who were there in the insurgency na napasok sa iyo.
01:01That's, that's a complicated matter. Wag ka pumasok dyan, hindi mo naki, hindi mo alam yan eh.
01:09Yung, yung police, iba yung trabaho nila. But there are activities there which you have to men from, galing sa kanila, galing sa mga nagsurrender.
01:24Hindi mo kasi alam. Diretso lang yung story eh. That is why it is good may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may may
01:54Pardon me. It borders to sometimes. I will not use the word. It's sometimes a conclusion that borders in those. Mayor ako, presidente ako, ganun ako gagago. You think?
02:21Mr. President, my next question in relation to that. That was just the predicate, the premise po, no? Na you had a personal DDS. No, Mr. President, the question supposed to follow was that could you name those seven people? Kung pwede niyo po ipangalan yung seven members ng DDS na yan po?
02:44Members ng DDS? Your personal civilian DDS, which you mentioned this, apparently, counterinsurgency force. Apparently, you know, even if they exist, why would I tell you the names now to you? Ang tingin mo sa akin, stupido?
03:09Mr. President, because we're in an investigation in aid of legislation, and we're ruling out that if they are in...
03:39...and the persons in danger... Mr. President, with all due respect, the question of identifying these members was to really look into the purpose because we're trying to differentiate now those that are within the bounds of law and those that are without in relation to the drug war.
04:10...within the bounds of the law. And I take full responsibility. Huwag ka na maghanap ng iba. Ano yung seven-seven mo? Dito ka nalang takututok sa akin. Ilan ko pang beses sabihin sa inyo, I take full responsibility. If you think that it is illegal or wrong, go ahead and file a case. I would be happy. Bakit pa tayo dito magdrama-drama niya?
04:36Thank you, Mr. President. I had a few more questions, but given the time constraint, I will yield to other interpolators. Marami salamat po, Mr. President. Thank you.
