00:00Retired Police Colonel Ruyina Garma instructed former President Rodrigo Duterte, who ordered to carry out a large-scale model operation against drugs in 2016 where the murder of the suspects is suspected.
00:15Jonathan Andal was also charged with the murder of Tanawan Batangas Mayor Antonio Halili in 2018.
00:23In 2026, I received a call from the President, Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
00:35During our meeting, he requested that I will locate a PNP officer or operative who is a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo,
00:47indicating that he needed someone capable of implementing the war on drugs on a national level, replicating the double model.
01:01Retired Police Colonel and former PCSO General Manager Ruyina Garma was emotional when the House Squad Committee heard
01:08the instruction of former President Rodrigo Duterte, who ordered to use the double model in the campaign against drugs in the country,
01:17where the police have the upper hand in killing drug suspects.
01:22It all started in May 2016.
01:25Garma recommended his upperclassman in the PNPA, Lt. Col. Edilberto Leonardo, a member of the INC and now assigned to the PNPC-IDG.
01:35Garma said that Duterte asked Leonardo to pass on the proposal of the National Task Force on War on Drugs to Duterte's aide Bongo.
01:44The double model referred to the system involving payment and reward.
01:52Garma said that there are three levels of the Duterte drug war reward system.
01:57First, payment if the suspect is killed.
01:59Second, funds for planned operations or co-plans.
02:03Third, refunds for expenses in the operation.
02:06Garma said that the police were given P1 million depending on the size of the drug suspect.
02:14Leonardo also has the final authority to determine who will be included and removed from the narco list and what is the threat level of the drug.
02:22Garma said that he did the affidavit that he read and submitted to the Quadcom last night.
02:28There is no mistake here. It took me one week to make some reflections.
02:34I realized that the truth will always set us free.
02:39The police officials in the hearing asked if the reward system that Garma said is true.
02:44Everyone said that they don't know it except for one.
02:47Colonel Garma is right. It circulates in the whole PNP organization.
02:53But what can be validated is the inner circle of Colonel Garma.
02:59Those who really know it, sir.
03:01Another revelation of Garma.
03:03He knows the police that has knowledge of the killing of former Tanawan Mayor Antonio Halili,
03:09who was shot while at the flag-raising ceremony of City Hall on July 2018 at the Duterte Terminal.
03:15This police was assigned to Central Visayas.
03:18Major Albotra, Mr. Chair.
03:20Major?
03:21Albotra of Region 7. He greeted me back then.
03:25I asked him, how did you do it?
03:27He said he's in the team.
03:34A congressman also praised Garma's relationship with Duterte.
03:39Whether you have romantic ties with the President, I leave that to the imagination of the Honorable Fernandez.
03:46I will not ask about that.
03:48Because if I ask, you might admit it.
03:51You didn't admit to us in the previous hearing that you are not strong with President Duterte.
03:59Will you admit it now?
04:03Yes, Mr. Chair.
04:05Garma also apologized to the victims of the drug war.
04:08I am very sorry on behalf of my men who did wrong to you.
04:15I'm very sorry.
04:16But I cannot control all of them.
04:19They are all trained police officers.
04:21They know the rules of engagement.
04:23But you know, once you are in the ground, you will always use your discretion.
04:29That's not really the instinct of a person.
04:33At the end of the 14-hour Quadcom hearing, Garma went to the hospital where the committee allowed him to go.
04:40The Quad Committee decided to re-invite the former President Rodrigo Duterte,
04:45the former PNP chief, and now Senator Bato de la Rosa.
04:48We are still trying to get Duterte's statement on his actions in the hearing.
04:53For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 Hours.
04:58Senator Bong Go denied that he is involved in the drug war of the Duterte administration.
05:02Go did not fulfill his duty as Special Assistant of the President of the Police Operations.
05:08That's why he is not involved in the drug war.
05:11But Go denied that he did not implement a reward system in the campaign against drugs of the Duterte administration.
05:17Senator Bato de la Rosa, the PNP chief of the Duterte administration,
05:21denied that he has no idea on how to implement a reward system in the drug war.
05:26He did not implement a reward system in the PNP,
05:29except in Pabuya, in the list of Most Wanted approved by the DILG.
05:34We are still trying to get Duterte's statement.
05:37Even Edelberto Leonardo, according to the National Police Commission of NAPOCOM,
05:42resigned as a commissioner.
05:45We are also trying to get the statement of a Major Albotra in Region 7,
05:50who has knowledge on the murder of the former Tanawan Batangas Mayor, Antonio Halili.
