00:00During the time, you did not accept, General Sierto and General Benueva,
00:05you did not accept that the former mayor of Dabao was involved in drugs.
00:13Mr. Chair, I...
00:15General Benueva, go ahead.
00:17Mr. Chair, I really support...
00:18You did not accept that the former mayor of Dabao was involved in drugs.
00:24I did not, Mr. Chair.
00:25You do not know.
00:26Actually, during the operation, the actual operation, Mr. Chair,
00:30they built a command post just 50 meters away from the clandestine laboratory.
00:38Who built it?
00:39Mayor Duterte, General Simeon Dizon, regional director of the PNP of Region XI,
00:48the other councilors of Dabao City, and the media,
00:52while we were operating on the clandestine laboratory.
00:56So, what we are thinking is that our mayor was not involved during that time.
01:05Okay. And General Sierto, what can you say about that?
01:11I heard some gossip, but I did not see any evidence.
01:20In fairness, during our surveillance, we were not able to get the names of the Dutertes.
01:28We were not able to get their names.
01:30I'm just playing around here because there are mayors who were killed who were involved in drugs.
01:40There are high-profile mayors who were killed who were involved in drugs.
01:43What is this? Is this to annihilate the competition?
01:47So that there is only one mayor? What do you think, General Sierto?
01:54In my assessment, with his protection to Michael Yang and to Alan Lee,
02:01my assessment is that he was a cover-up for the small personalities involved in drugs.
02:12Like a cover-up, your assessment?
02:15Yes, like a cover-up.
02:17Why did you say it was like a cover-up?
02:22Because the ones who die are the ones who are below, the users, the end-users.
02:30Then, the lower-dissolution.
02:36But the source is not moving.
