00:00Aside from the Camera, the Committee of the Senate led by Senator Bato de la Rosa will also conduct its own investigation into the War on Drugs.
00:10It will also be invited by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:15The field of the victims of extrajudicial killings is now open to the public
00:21as to how the DAWITs will investigate themselves.
00:25I'm Mav Gonzalez.
00:30Senator Bato de la Rosa was the chief of the Philippine National Police
00:35when the Duterte administration first implemented the War on Drugs.
00:38And now, he is one of the lawmakers and chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs.
00:43He will conduct his own investigation into the War on Drugs after the revelations in the Camera
00:49that there was a reward system for each victim of the war on drugs.
00:53His former boss, former President Rodrigo Duterte, will also be invited by de la Rosa.
00:59There's a big possibility that he will attend if we invite him.
01:04He looks more comfortable here in the Senate than in the lower house.
01:10Have you talked to him yet?
01:11Not yet, but I don't think he will attend if I invite him.
01:19If Senator Bungo or anyone else is accused of not attending,
01:30they can attend here in the Senate hearing.
01:32But Manila Rep. Benny Abante, co-chair of the Quad Committee,
01:36who is investigating the extrajudicial killings during President Duterte's time, is suspicious.
01:42The thing is, he became the Director General of the Philippine National Police
01:48during the time of the former President.
01:52Just imagine, he was only a Brigadier General.
01:55All of a sudden, he became a star.
01:59He became a Major General and a Director General.
02:04I would think that he would be more biased than balanced in that hearing.
02:34If we need to mince the cheques and balances, then we have to do it.
02:39De la Rosa is also part of the diagram released by retired Police Colonel Ruyina Garma
02:44about the so-called reward system.
02:46Senator Bungo also served as a close aide to the former President Duterte.
02:51Go said that he will submit a resolution tomorrow to investigate the war on drugs in the Senate.
02:57This is also an investigation in the Senate.
02:59If you want to investigate the war on drugs, we can listen to this.
03:03Especially since our chairperson, Senator Batoy, is the chairperson of the Committee on Peace and Order.
03:11He is the chief PNP.
03:13So we can find out what is the truth and what is the motive behind this.
03:19The lawyer of the victims of extrajudicial killings came here.
03:23Perpetrators or those who are guilty cannot investigate themselves.
03:29Go and De la Rosa also denied that there is a reward system.
03:33De la Rosa also said that if there is one, it is not included here and it could be a conspiracy.
03:39I am not connected in any way.
03:41Maybe there is an official capacity as the chief PNP.
03:45I don't know if all my police officers can monitor 24x7 what they are doing.
03:52Maybe that's it. If there is a responsibility as the chief PNP.
03:56But if you say that I have a direct hand on what is being planned, what is being done, or what happened,
04:04I don't think so. They have a small hand.
04:10De la Rosa knows Garma, but he did not work under him.
04:14According to Abante, Garma was helped by his lawyers, but he said that he is still on his own.
04:20That's why he became emotional while reading this.
