00:00Mr. Chair and the Honourable Members of the Subcommittee conducting today's inquiry.
00:11We can destroy and we need to destroy drugs, but we cannot destroy lives.
00:25Yan po ang sagot ko sa very passionate defence of the former President as to his policy of
00:39killing alleged drug offenders, alleged drug pushers, alleged drug users.
00:51We can destroy drugs, but we need not destroy lives.
00:58I just wish to emphasise that.
01:02I said that in my privileged speech in August 2016 after I filed a Senate inquiry, a resolution
01:18calling for Senate inquiry.
01:23This man, the former Mayor of Davao City and the former President of the Republic of the
01:34Philippines, for so long have evaded justice and accountability for the thousands of those
01:46killed in the name of the so-called war on drugs.
