00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte was sentenced to death by three Chinese drug lords
00:06who were imprisoned in Davao Penal and Prison Farm in 2016.
00:10It was reported to the camera by the prisoners who were ordered to attend the wedding of the dead.
00:15Jun Veneracion was there.
00:20The two persons deprived of liberty were wearing bulletproof vests,
00:24who were Leopoldo Tan, Jr. and Fernando Magnadaro,
00:27when they faced the House of Representatives' Quad Committee.
00:31They admitted that they were the three Chinese drug lords
00:35who were imprisoned in Davao Penal and Prison Farm in August 2016.
00:39They were Chu Quintong, a.k.a. Tony Lim,
00:43Li Lan Yan, a.k.a. Jackson Li,
00:46and Wong Meng Pin, a.k.a. Wong Ming Pin.
00:50Former President Rodrigo Duterte was sentenced to death
00:53based on what he heard from the warden of the prison
00:56that Superintendent Gerardo Padilla had just finished his religious studies.
01:00I heard what was said when I called Superintendent Padilla.
01:04Congrats, Superintendent Padilla. Job well done.
01:09But what you did was too much.
01:12I know that Superintendent Padilla was talking to President Duterte
01:17because I am familiar with his voice.
01:20After the call, Superintendent Padilla told his colleagues there,
01:26the President called and congratulated me.
01:31Because of what Superintendent Padilla said,
01:34I was more convinced that the one who called him was President Duterte.
01:40What you said was a bit serious.
01:47Do you defend that?
01:50Yes, sir.
01:51Can you talk to President Duterte?
01:54I can only hear his voice because I am familiar with his voice.
01:58Is there a speakerphone?
02:05Did you press the button to turn on the speakerphone?
02:09This is the first time in the investigation of the Quad Committee
02:12regarding the extrajudicial killings of the previous administration
02:15where someone tried to kill Duterte.
02:17In this light of this very serious and sensitive development,
02:25may I move in the interest of fairness,
02:30may I move to invite the former President to hear his side on this matter.
02:38According to Tan's record,
02:39around July 2016, he was taken to the prison of his high school classmate,
02:44SPO-4 Arthur Narzolis.
02:47He was told that Chinese drug lords were trying to kill him
02:51worth a million pesos each.
02:53I have a job for you.
02:56And I have a lot of money.
02:59Maybe we can help you get free.
03:04I will talk to the President.
03:07Tan was recruited by Magdadaro.
03:09And on the night of August 13, 2016,
03:12they made the plan.
03:14The officials of Davao Penal and Prison Farm said that
03:18they found a way to go to a bar in Tolina.
03:21Tan, Magdadaro, and three Chinese drug lords were their targets.
03:25Using their intelligence,
03:27they were able to track down the three Chinese drug lords.
03:30They were paid two million pesos.
03:32Less than a million pesos based on what was discussed.
03:35They admitted to three counts of homicide.
03:38That's why their sentence was added.
03:40After that, we did not promise freedom.
03:49But until now, we are still in prison.
03:59The unfulfilled promise of freedom was pushed by Tan and Magdadaro
04:04to reveal their information.
04:06I also want to establish here that the former administration,
04:11seemingly and allegedly,
04:13did not only use the policemen to kill,
04:17but even used prisoners to kill.
04:21According to the police,
04:23the one who hired Tan, Narsolis,
04:25is no longer in the service.
04:27He was hired by the CIDG 11 Regional Chief,
04:31Colonel Edelberto Leonardo,
04:33and Lieutenant Colonel Roina Garma.
04:36Colonel Leonardo is now an official of the National Police Commission.
04:39Lieutenant Garma was appointed as the PCSO General Manager
04:43of the Duterte Administration.
04:45The warden of Davao Penal and Prison Farm, Padilla,
04:48is still in active service in the Bureau of Corrections.
04:51They will be called to the next hearing.
04:54We are still trying to get the statement of the former President Duterte
04:57and a few others who were mentioned.
04:59For GMA Integrated News,
