NewsTranscript
00:0012 hours have passed since the House Quad Committee heard about the war on drugs,
00:07together with former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:10The former president also met with the International Criminal Court.
00:13Tomorrow, the ICC will go to the Philippines to investigate him.
00:18And there were also some hot answers,
00:21particularly from the former president and well-known critics of his administration,
00:26former Senator Laila de Lima and former Senator Antonio Chellanes IV.
00:31Jonathan Andar is a witness.
00:37I'm asking the ICC to hurry up.
00:42And if possible, they can come here and start the investigation tomorrow.
00:48Former President Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly said
00:51that since he was the president,
00:53he has not recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or ICC in the Philippines.
00:59But he challenged his first meeting with the House Quad Committee
01:02to go to the Philippines to investigate him regarding the war on drugs.
01:07This issue has been left hanging for so many years.
01:11It's been a long time, ma'am.
01:12I might die and they won't be able to investigate me.
01:16So I'm asking the ICC, through you,
01:20to come here tomorrow and start the investigation.
01:25And if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.
01:32He is not afraid of the ICC.
01:34The ICC does not scare me a bit.
01:41They can come here anytime.
01:43No excuses.
01:45No apologies.
01:48If I go to hell, so be it.
01:53Give me money and I will go to the ICC.
01:56Duterte defended the deaths during the war on drugs.
02:00He also admitted that he killed someone.
02:02Did you die?
02:05Me? A lot.
02:08About six or seven.
02:12I don't know if I was able to continue.
02:14I was not able to finish my hospitalization.
02:18I killed a lot of policemen in Davao.
02:22Criminals.
02:23I was the one who raped them.
02:27He also ordered the killing of manufacturers and distributors of drugs,
02:31but not drug addicts.
02:33He said not addicts.
02:34I said drug dealers and drug users.
02:39Why would he kill an addict?
02:41Bring him to the hospital.
02:42I will admit that I ordered the drug manufacturers
02:48and big time drug distributors to kill.
02:58He also admitted that he planted evidence.
03:01We planted evidence.
03:03That's true.
03:04So you really planted evidence?
03:06I was a part of the strategy as a mayor.
03:09He also admitted that the police received money from the drug war,
03:13but it was not the 20,000 to 1,000,000 pesos per person who was killed,
03:17which was distributed by the former trustee of the police, Ruyina Garma.
03:21This is the one who died.
03:23He was paid 20,000 to 1,000,000 pesos.
03:25No, sir.
03:26There was a police operation.
03:28The police already knew about it.
03:31This is a very particular project.
03:37If they were able to accomplish it,
03:40the police officer or the lead officer would say,
03:47Sir, there was a police operation.
03:49That's not it.
03:51For the boys.
03:53That's it, sir.
03:55Mr. Chair?
03:56Reward.
03:57Correct.
03:58Very correct.
04:00It's really true.
04:03And sometimes, I give more.
04:07Duterte refused to answer Representative Raul Manuel's question
04:10about the confidential funds from the office of the president.
04:14That's why I called it intelligence and confidential.
04:20So don't ask me what confidential I did.
04:24It's confidential.
04:27I am protecting the interest of the republic when I dispense confidential funds.
04:34Do not make me account for something which I cannot do legally.
04:42But at one point, Duterte said,
04:45he used his money from the campaign funds in Pabuya.
04:49I still remember that you have mentioned
04:53that the money from the donation of your campaign funds
04:59will be utilized for the reward system.
05:02You mentioned that and I saw the video.
05:04And that's private money, Mr. President?
05:06Yes.
05:07It's from me.
05:08It's not private money.
05:10Because it was accepted.
05:13I was already holding the money when I was in the official office.
05:22The victims of the drug war also suffered.
05:26Because of the images of their loved ones.
05:28We were also hurt when we found out that there was a reward.
05:33That's how our loved ones played their lives.
05:38It's really hard for us.
05:43Until now, there is no justice.
05:48Because there is no proper investigation for the Philippines.
05:55Just like the former Senator Laila de Lima,
05:58who was imprisoned for almost seven years
06:00after being involved in the Belibid drug trade.
06:03She is also the former president of the entire party.
06:06Do you believe that Secretary de Lima is the mother of all drug lords?
06:11Who said it, sir?
06:12Director Ruer Lazala and Reynaldo Esmeralda,
06:16former NBI officer-in-charge of the Department of Justice.
06:20I would like to congratulate them for making this statement.
06:23Absolutely false.
06:25I have nothing to do with illegal drugs.
06:30It's just part of their propaganda.
06:33They say you are the lord of all drug lords.
06:36I will not become president if I am like that.
06:41At 4 p.m. yesterday,
06:43the son of the former president, Vice President Sara Duterte, arrived.
06:46He sat near his father.
06:49The B.C. did not initiate an interview.
06:51In the continuation of the hearing,
06:53Duterte once again promised legal responsibility for the killing of drug lords.
06:58He also reiterated the details of Garma's affidavit.
07:01I have not read the affidavit
07:05so that I would not be in a position to correctly really respond to your question.
07:11You are now trying to investigate me.
07:15You are like an investigator.
07:18You are trying to confront me with the statements made in that affidavit.
07:24And you are trying to exact an answer from me.
07:30If that is the case, we will stop here.
07:34That is not proper.
07:37That is not fair.
07:40Mr. President, we are not...
07:42No, I will not stop here.
07:45And when Duterte was asked about the number of private citizens who joined his death squad,
07:51even if they exist,
07:53why would I tell you the names now to you?
08:00Do you think I am stupid?
08:02Give me your name.
08:03You put the family and the persons in danger.
08:09Mr. President...
08:10That is not the proper question.
08:12The former President and Delima did not agree
08:16when Delima called Duterte a liar.
08:19He's lying when he said that he does not know Laila Delima.
08:24The former First Sona,
08:27did she approach me?
08:30Did she hold my hand?
08:33So, she does not know me?
08:35Her hair is different.
08:36I'm just reminding the source person.
08:39So, the next to interpolate is...
08:46Former Senator Antonio Trillanes to the fourth also came to the hearing.
08:50He is a well-known critic of Duterte.
08:52He gave details about the bank transactions of Duterte.
08:56These transactions,
08:58Vice President Sara,
09:03Duterte,
09:05Basté,
09:07Pulong Duterte,
09:09and Hanilef Abancenia.
09:13These are the manager's checks
09:18under their name
09:20that the origin of the account
09:22is one of the drug lords mentioned by Las Canas,
09:28Sammy Uy.
09:29The drug lord is dividing the family of Duterte
09:35every October and April.
09:38So, it's one after the other.
09:40And by the way,
09:42we can see Vice President Sara.
09:45She has two checks that she cashed there
09:48under her name,
09:50manager's checks.
09:51While she was mayor,
09:56that's why it's a direct bribery.
09:59Trillanes didn't say anything yet.
10:02I'm willing to execute an affidavit
10:06or just you
10:08to summon the banks
10:12or someone to my waiver
10:17If there is only one truth,
10:20I will hang myself.
10:22If there is only one truth,
10:25I will resign
10:27and I will ask my daughter
10:29to resign and everybody in the family.
10:33That is my guarantee.
10:35And I will hang myself.
10:37I will sign the document tomorrow
10:43and I will hand it
10:45to my lawyer.
10:47At one point, Duterte challenged Trillanes.
10:50There is an iota of
10:53I will hang myself.
10:56So, in the same manner,
10:59if I hang myself,
11:00Trillanes should also hang himself.
11:06He said that he will give a waiver.
11:09It's all bluff.
11:12It would be better if we draft it now
11:15so that he can sign it here.
11:24What is the alternative, sir?
11:26No.
11:27I will slap him in public.
11:32There is no such thing.
11:34I will slap him in public.
11:42The hearing was suspended for a while.
11:45In the end, Duterte asked for forgiveness
11:48for his accusation at that point of the hearing
11:50and was removed from the records of the hearing.
11:54For GMA Integrated News,
11:56I am Jonathan Andal,
11:57your witness.
