00:00The Palace has supported the investigation of criminal and administrative cases
00:05to former NAPOCOM Commissioner Edilberto Leonardo.
00:08Leonardo was taught by former police colonel Ruyina Garma
00:11that he was the first to give evidence to the police
00:14that a suspect was killed in the drug war of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:18Witness, Jonathan Andal.
00:20My amount, Mr. Chair, from what I understand, starting 20,000 to 1,000,000.
00:30But I'm not familiar with the bracketing, Mr. Chair.
00:34Under such circumstances, the evidence of the killing of a suspect
00:39in the Davao-style drug war of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:43according to retired police colonel Ruyina Garma,
00:46was carried out by Garma's upperclassman in the PNP Academy, Edilberto Leonardo.
00:53In the diagram released by Garma, Leonardo said
00:56how much the reward and the money given to the operatives who committed the murder was.
01:01The money was transferred to the bank accounts of Leonardo's accomplice, Peter Parungo alias Pedro.
01:07The money came from Irmina Espino alias Mooking,
01:11former Assistant Secretary to the PMS or Presidential Management Staff.
01:15He was said to be a trusted staff, Special Assistant to the President and now Senator Bong Go.
01:20Malacanang accepted Leonardo's confession as Commissioner of NAPOLCOM.
01:25He is currently under the custody of the camera after being contempted in a Quadcom hearing
01:29and there are signs that he will speak according to the Quadcom.
01:32In our initial conversation, because he asked that we talk to him,
01:43initially speaking, he already had the so-called intonation that okay, he will say the rest in detail.
01:54The criminal and administrative charges against Leonardo were supported by the palace.
01:59Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said they will hand it over to the Justice Department.
02:04The relatives of the victims of EJK wanted to make Garma a witness in the ICC or International Criminal Court
02:11so that Duterte will be de-insidious in the crimes against humanity.
02:14Ruyena Garma is crucial in connecting the dots.
02:18She is one of the missing pieces of the puzzle in our understanding of the war on drugs.
02:23How was it ordered? How was it done?
02:25We are studying how this testimony and Ruyena Garma can qualify as an insider witness in the ICC investigation.
02:37Malacanang said the Philippines will not return as a member of the ICC.
02:41The President's mind will not change.
02:43The DOJ will wait for the Committee Report of the Camera or if there will be a complaint to investigate.
02:50That's why the Quadcom will issue a Partial Committee Report next week.
02:54If that is a necessary requirement, then we will make a Partial Committee Report
03:01to have a basis to pursue the case build-up and the preliminary investigation of the witnesses.
03:09Senator Bong Go refused Garma's confession.
03:13That's not true. As I said, there is no reward system.
03:18The police mandate to fight crime and illegal drugs. Do your job.
03:23That's why we fully support you. We support you in your work.
03:29But in your operations, I am not involved.
03:34He also defended Duterte.
03:36He did not say, kill this, kill that.
03:39There is no reward system in his office.
03:45He supports the police.
03:49Whatever he can support for them to fulfill their duty.
03:55Senator Bato De La Rosa is also included in the reward system.
03:59He was the chief of the PNP when the Duterte Anti-Drug War started.
04:03De La Rosa said that he has no idea about the reward system.
04:06He said that when he was the chief of the PNP, he did not fulfill the reward system because he does not have funds for it.
04:13The other PNP chiefs of the war against drugs of the Duterte administration
04:18also answered their questions following the revelations of Garma about the Umanoy reward system.
04:24So we have to take their statements and say something about it.
04:28So we know where we start in our investigation.
04:31There is already a committee in charge of the investigation.
04:34We already have a committee to investigate all allegations being made by Colonel Garma regarding EGK and other matters.
04:46So we are just waiting. Our investigation is ongoing.
04:51They have to go through the process.
04:53However, having said that they are innocent till proven guilty,
04:57there are no sacred cows in this institution and in this investigation.
05:01Anyone who is guilty, anyone who is found guilty.
05:04Former PNP chief Guillermo Eleazar, who was the chief of the PNP for 6 months in 2021,
05:09said that he did not receive an order from the Umanoy reward system for anti-illegal drug operations during his term.
05:17GMA Integrated News is still trying to get the statement of the former PNP chiefs under the Duterte administration.
05:24Davao City Police, on the other hand, claimed that there is a reward system implemented in the city
05:29that was based on what the former President Duterte implemented in the whole country.
05:34As far as quotas and reward systems, so far, Davao City Police Office has not seen any.
05:40Davao Models have not received any target.
05:45We are still trying to get the statement of the former President.
05:48For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal is your witness.
