00:00PNP Chief Rommel Francisco Marville is now accusing the unresolved cases that were filed against the Death Squad.
00:07This is a serious accusation according to the police.
00:10Despite the change of former President Rodrigo Duterte in his statement,
00:14Jun Federacion was found guilty.
00:20Before the drug war started,
00:22when former President Rodrigo Duterte was in Malacanang,
00:25he was already talking to the Death Squad,
00:28when he was the Mayor of Davao City,
00:30which was investigated by the Commission on Human Rights in 2009.
00:36He was again arrested because Duterte admitted
00:39that he was involved in the investigation of the Senate
00:41in the extrajudicial killing of his drug war.
00:45All of this on my right side,
00:49it was passed by the Chief of Police,
00:54Police Director,
00:58or the Commander of the Death Squad there,
01:02Senator De La Rosa.
01:05I know he was joking, right?
01:07He admitted it later on,
01:09that the DDS is not the police.
01:11Aside from Senator Bato de la Rosa,
01:13in the investigation of others like him,
01:15he became the Davao City Police Director.
01:19Do you mind or don't you mind
01:21having been called as the head of the Davao Death Squad
01:25by the former President?
01:28I think he's just joking, sir.
01:31Retired General Catay Nukuy
01:33did not want to be referred to the Davao Death Squad or DDS.
01:37I mind very much me being associated with the DDS.
01:41It is really a challenge for the PNP
01:43to investigate those cases because
01:46even the relatives of some of the victims
01:49refused to cooperate.
01:51And there was a suspicion that
01:53there were really some PNP personnel
01:56and even some civilian individuals
01:58who were involved in those incidents.
02:01Even though Duterte admitted
02:03that he has a death squad,
02:05this is a serious accusation by the PNP.
02:09He mentioned some names
02:11and he was referring to other police
02:13that will be used as lead
02:15and basis of the PNP
02:17to conduct further investigation.
02:19In fact, the PNP chief,
02:21Romel Francisco Marbil,
02:23ordered the involvement of those
02:25who did not solve the murder case
02:27associated with the death squad
02:29and other groups.
02:31If there is any involvement of the police,
02:33our chief PNP said,
02:35just like what he said,
02:37no sacred cow.
02:39And it is also related to Duterte's
02:42relationship with the police
02:44when he was still a president.
02:46He mentioned to the Senate
02:48to fight the drug suspects
02:50so that there is a reason to kill them.
02:52We value the human lives
02:54so there is no police following this order
02:56that will give a gun
02:58to a suspect
03:00just to make it appear
03:02that this is a fight.
03:04It's not the norms and culture
03:06of the PNP organization.
