00:00How about Carl Anthony Nunez?
00:04Before you ramble on those many things.
00:06No, no, no. I'm not rambling, Mr. Chair.
00:08My questions are very specific.
00:10No, the law is specific.
00:12Guilt is personal.
00:15Ask the lawyer first.
00:17It's okay. I can ask the lawyer.
00:19Go ahead.
00:20Ask now before we proceed.
00:22No, no, no. I already prepared these questions with my legislative staff.
00:26Guilt is personal.
00:27Yes, it's very personal.
00:29It cannot be passed on to others.
00:31No, no, no. It cannot be passed on.
00:33Blue Ribbon is investigating the war on drugs and the result of extrajudicial killings there.
00:39And I am basing my question on what you said repeatedly.
00:44Like every October, you said that you will take responsibility.
00:48Correct.
00:49Yes. So now let me ask you about Carl Anthony Nunez.
00:5220 years old.
00:54No drugs or guns were found on his body.
00:58The investigator said it was a mistaken identity.
01:01Do you take responsibility for his death?
01:05You know, ma'am, can I ask for a recess?
01:17It's all right, Mr. Chair.
01:18Yes, yes, yes. Hearing is suspended.
01:22Can the chair talk to the senator?
01:25Can the resource person not point his finger at a member of the committee?
01:30Mr. President, do you not have the mood to answer questions?
01:34We can excuse you because you said you came here to answer questions.
01:41And Mr. Chair, the chair is fully capable of talking to a member of his subcommittee without being pointed by the resource person.
01:50I am basing it both on the policy question and what the former president said.
02:03Suspended.
02:04Mr. President, you can answer it in the way that you want to answer it.
02:13You may not be able to answer it.
02:17Are we ready? Are we ready to resume?
02:19Can you repeat the question, ma'am?
02:21Wait a minute. Our hearing is resumed.
02:25Thank you, Mr. Chair.
02:26My question is, if you take responsibility, as you said in October 2020, as you said in October 2021 about assuming responsibility for the war on drugs,
02:38do you take responsibility for the death of Carl Anthony Nunez, Mr. Chair?
02:44You know, the policy, ma'am, you did not get the policy of the president.
02:52I got the policy, Mr. Chair.
02:54I was talking about the policy. I take full responsibility for what I said about the war on drugs.
03:02You said, sir, you can hold me responsible for any death.
03:06But if a specific crime happens...
03:08Yes, sir. You spoke about specific crimes.
03:12If I say I will take full responsibility, when we go to court, they will not accept it.
03:20Well, Mr. Chair, and if the resource person could keep his volume and pitch to a normal level...
03:26Sir, you are trying to pin me down on...
03:28Mr. Chair, you are pinned down by your own statements of October.
03:34No, no, no, Mr. Chair.
03:36I'm not trying to pin you down on air.
03:39I'm no longer productive.
03:41Do not pin me down on semantics.
03:44Okay.
