00:00Senator Bato de la Rosa accused House Speaker Martin Romualdez of being behind the camera investigations in the Duterte Drug War.
00:10This is to use the evidence against them in the International Criminal Court.
00:16Tina Pangniban Pere has the story.
00:21In the hearings of the Quadcom Panel on the issues of drugs,
00:25bogo, and extrajudicial killings, there were witnesses who filed allegations against the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
00:34along with the witnesses, Senator Bato de la Rosa, who served as the PNP chief.
00:40In the interview, de la Rosa directly said that she believes that the Speaker of the House is behind the investigation.
00:48The intention is to use the evidence in their case against Duterte in the International Criminal Court.
00:56The Speaker of the House is behind this committee.
01:02I know that he's the same person who convinced the officials to go back and continue the fight against President Duterte for the ICC.
01:17I am expecting that this Quadcom investigation can be used against us in the ICC.
01:25We are listening to the statement of Speaker Martin Romaldez.
01:28The Quadcom also denied what de la Rosa said.
01:32If they will accuse the Speaker that we created this or this happened because of the Speaker's order, that is so unfair.
01:38I will not allow myself to be used for a political agenda.
01:43We are more than 300 congressmen there and they can never dictate on us,
01:48especially if we will use the evidence to cater to certain personalities like the Speaker, that is difficult.
01:57The Megapanel-Quadcom was condemned because the House Committees on Dangerous Drugs, Public Order and Safety, Human Rights and Public Accounts
02:07saw that their investigators are connected.
02:10Those who want to witness can only be entertained by the Quadcom, provided that they execute a sworn statement and a duly notarized document.
02:22That's the only requirement that we have so that we will not be trapped.
02:29The Quadcom also received a letter from the former President's son, Davao City 1st District Representative Paolo Duterte,
02:38who has questions regarding the investigation.
02:41We received a letter.
02:43He has many questions regarding our proceedings.
02:52But we haven't taken action yet on the letters he sent.
02:58I think we received it during the hearing.
03:01I think it's three pages so we haven't tackled it.
03:05But definitely, we will tackle that.
03:07In addition to the Quadcom, Rep. Duterte can visit at any time.
03:13We are listening to the statement of Rep. Duterte.
03:16We also tried to get a copy of the letter from Rep. Duterte, but one of his men said that his lawyers are still holding it.
