00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte tells legislators he gave out rewards for his war on drugs,
00:07but claims it was not a prize for killing, but for big crime solved.
00:10I have a reward. If it's a big crime solution, I will give it to the mayor, for the boys.
00:25Legislators also ask, was there a minimum P20,000 reward for every kill?
00:30No. Every crime that is solved, whether it is really, it resulted in a killing or a hole is there.
00:46But it does not presuppose that I will pay P20,000 to kill the drug addict.
00:54Regarding the source of the reward money, Kabataan Rep. Raul Manuel asks if these so-called
01:00peace and order funds came from confidential and intelligence funds.
01:04That's why it's called intelligence and confidential.
01:10So don't ask what confidential I did. It's confidential.
