00:00Let's be together in being...
00:08Taksi!
00:15The House Quad Committee has been listening to the War on Drugs for 12 hours,
00:20together with former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:23The former president convened the International Criminal Court yesterday.
00:27The ICC came to the Philippines to investigate the matter.
00:31And there were some hot answers,
00:34particularly from the former president and well-known critics of his administration,
00:39former Senator Laila Delima and former Senator Antonio Chelanez IV.
00:44Let's hear from Jonathan Andar.
00:50I'm asking the ICC to hurry up.
00:53And if possible, they can come here and start the investigation tomorrow.
01:01Former President Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly said
01:04that since he was the president,
01:06he has not recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or ICC in the Philippines.
01:11But he challenged his first meeting with the House Quad Committee
01:15to go to the Philippines to investigate the war on drugs.
01:20This issue has been left hanging for so many years.
01:29So I'm asking the ICC through you
01:39And if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.
01:45He is not afraid of the ICC.
01:48The ICC does not scare me a bit.
01:54They can come here anytime.
01:57No excuses.
01:59No apologies.
02:02If I go to hell, so be it.
02:07Give me money, I will go to the ICC.
02:10Duterte defended the deaths during the war on drugs.
02:13He also admitted that he killed someone.
02:16Did you die?
02:19I was killed by many people.
02:22Six or seven people.
02:25I was not able to get out of the hospital.
02:31I was killed by many police officers in Davao.
02:36I was the one who raped.
02:40He also ordered the killing of manufacturers and distributors of drugs,
02:44but not drug addicts.
02:46He said not addicts. I said drug dealers and drug users.
02:51Why would he kill an addict?
02:54Bring him to the hospital.
02:56I will admit that I ordered the drug manufacturers
03:01and big-time drug distributors to kill me.
03:11He also admitted that he planted evidence.
03:14We planted evidence.
03:16That's true.
03:17So you really planted evidence?
03:19That was part of the strategy as a mayor.
03:22He also admitted that the police received money from the drug war,
03:26but not P20,000 to P1,000,000 per victim,
03:30which was stolen by the former trustee of the police, Roina Garma.
03:34This is the victim.
03:36P20,000 to P1,000,000?
03:38No, sir.
03:39There was a police operation.
03:41The police knows about it.
03:44I am funding it.
03:46This is a very particular project.
03:50If they accomplish it,
03:54the police officer or the lead officer will say,
04:00sir, there was an operation.
04:03That's not it.
04:05For the boys.
04:07That's it, sir.
04:09Mr. Chair?
04:10Reward.
04:11Correct.
04:12Very correct.
04:14It's really true.
04:17And sometimes, I give more.
04:21Duterte refused to answer Representative Raul Manuel's question
04:24about the confidential funds from the office of the president.
04:28That's why the intelligence called it confidential.
04:33So don't ask what confidential I did.
04:38It's confidential.
04:42I am protecting the interest of the republic when I dispense confidential funds.
04:48Do not make me account for something which I cannot do legally.
04:56But at one point, Duterte said,
04:59the money he used from the Pabuya campaign funds came from Umano.
05:03I still remember that you have mentioned
05:06that the money from the donation of your campaign funds
05:12will be utilized for the reward system.
05:16You mentioned that and I saw the video.
05:18And that's a private money, Mr. President?
05:20Yes.
05:21It came from me.
05:22It's not a private money.
05:24Because I received it.
05:27I was already holding the money when I was already in the official office.
05:36The victims of the drug war also suffered.
05:39They brought images of their loved ones.
05:42We were more hurt when we found out that there was a reward.
05:47That's how our loved ones' lives were at stake.
05:52It's really hard for us.
05:56Until now, there is no justice
06:01because there is no proper investigation for the victims.
06:09Former Senator Laila Delima was also jailed for almost 7 years
06:13after accusing her of being involved in the Bilibid drug trade.
06:16She is also the former President of the Philippines.
06:19Do you believe that Secretary Delima is the mother of all drug lords?
06:24Who said it, sir?
06:25Director Ruel Lazala and Reynaldo Esmeralda,
06:29former NBI officer-in-charge of the Department of Justice.
06:33I would like to congratulate them for making this statement.
06:36Absolutely false.
06:38I have nothing to do with illegal drugs.
06:43It's just part of their propaganda.
06:46You are the lord of all drug lords.
06:49I will not be president if I am like that.
06:54At 4 p.m. yesterday,
06:56the son of the former President, Vice President Sara Duterte, arrived
06:59and sat near his father's back.
07:02The BISE did not hold an interview.
07:05During the interrogation,
07:07Duterte promised legal responsibility for the drug war.
07:11He also reiterated the details of Garma's affidavit.
07:15I have not read the affidavit
07:18so that I would not be in a position to correctly really respond to your question.
07:24You are now trying to investigate me.
07:30You are like an investigator.
07:32You are trying to confront me
07:34with the statements made in that affidavit.
07:38And you're trying to exact an answer from me.
07:43If that's the case, let's stop here.
07:48That is not proper.
07:50That is not fair.
07:54Mr. President, we're not...
07:56No, no. I will stand here.
07:59When Duterte was asked about the 7 private citizens
08:02who became members of his death squad...
08:04Even if they exist,
08:06why would I tell you the names now to you?
08:14What do you think of me, stupid?
08:15Give me your name.
08:17You put the family and the persons in danger.
08:23Mr. President...
08:24Is that a proper question?
08:26The former President and Delima became enraged
08:29when Delima called Duterte a liar.
08:33He's lying when he said that he does not know Laila Delima.
08:37In the first sauna,
08:40didn't he approach me?
08:43He even held my hand.
08:46So he doesn't know me?
08:48His hair is different.
08:49I'm just reminding the source person.
08:52So the next to interpolate
08:56is...
08:59Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV also came to the hearing.
09:03He's a well-known critic of Duterte.
09:05He gave details about the bank transactions of Duterte.
09:09These transactions,
09:12there are for Vice President Sara,
09:17for Duterte,
09:19for Baste,
09:21for Pulong Duterte,
09:23and for Hanilef Abancenia.
09:26These are manager's checks under their name.
09:33The origin of the account is one of the drug lords
09:38mentioned by Las Canas, Sammy Uy.
09:42The drug lord is dividing the family of Duterte
09:48every October and April.
09:52That's why it's one after another.
09:54And by the way,
09:55we can see Vice President Sara,
09:58she has two checks in cash
10:02under her name, manager's checks,
10:05while she was mayor.
10:10That's why it's a direct bribery.
10:12None of the things mentioned by Trillanes are allowed.
10:15I'm willing to execute an affidavit
10:20to summon the banks
10:26or summon to my waiver.
10:30If there is only one truth,
10:33I will hang myself.
10:35If there is only one truth,
10:38I will resign and I will ask my daughter
10:42to resign and everybody in the family.
10:46That is my guarantee.
10:48And I will hang myself.
10:50I will sign the document tomorrow
10:56and I will hand it to the lawyer.
11:00At one point, Duterte challenged Trillanes.
11:04There is an iota of...
11:07I will have a big day.
11:09So, in the same manner,
11:12if I have a big day,
11:14Trillanes should be with me.
11:20He said that he will give a waiver.
11:23It's all bluff.
11:25It would be better if we draft it now
11:28so that he can sign it here.
11:31Will the former president be okay
11:33that if we draft the waiver now,
11:35that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
11:38What's the alternative, sir?
11:40I will slap him in public.
11:44Now?
11:45Nothing like that, sir.
11:47I will give you a waiver.
11:48I will slap him in public.
11:50Session suspended.
11:56The hearing was suspended for a moment.
11:59In the end, Duterte asked for forgiveness
12:01for his slander at that point of the hearing
12:03and the so-called slap was removed
12:05from the records of the hearing.
12:07For GMA Integrated News,
12:09I am Jonathan Andal, your witness.
12:13The government will not tolerate
12:14the former president, Rodrigo Duterte,
12:16giving up his identity
12:18in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
12:21That was said by Executive Secretary Lucas Belzamin,
12:23the former president's next-in-command,
12:25at the hearing of the House Quad Committee
12:27that he is ready to face the investigation of the ICC.
12:30According to my knowledge,
12:31the ICC will refer the process to the Interpol
12:33and the Interpol will issue a red notice to the Philippines.
12:37The country will be obliged to consider this.
12:40This means that the Philippine authorities
12:43will need to assist the Interpol
12:45in following the protocol.
12:47This October, Malacanang said
12:49that the Philippines will not return
12:51as a member of the ICC.
