00:00The House Squad Committee will study their next move
00:04while former President Rodrigo Duterte is still not involved in their investigation of this drug war.
00:11In spite of all the efforts of Duterte's camp that is involved in listening, Tina Panganiban-Perez was able to point it out.
00:22Despite the efforts of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the invitation of the House Squad Committee,
00:29the lead chairperson of the House Squad Committee believes that the former president should not be prosecuted.
00:36When a resource person is snubbed several times by the invitation of a committee in the House,
00:42the committee will issue a show-cause order to explain to the resource person.
00:47If he still does not respond, he should be prosecuted.
00:51If he is still absent, he can be contempted and jailed.
00:55Maybe we should talk about what we should cover.
00:59We will extend to him the courtesy that the committee can, in deference to him being the former president.
01:08But the position of a co-chair of the Quadco is clear.
01:11He has promised us, this committee, through his letter, that after November 1, he will be present in today's hearing.
01:20If we don't talk about this, will he be afraid to come here?
01:28We should invite again the former president to be present in the next hearing.
01:33I don't think the former president will ever attend the Quad Committee.
01:37The testimonies of former presidents of extrajudicial killings, are they heavy?
01:44Should this be backed up by evidence, backed up by substantial corroboration coming from a witness or documentary evidence?
01:57The access of the Quad Committee will be given to the special task force of the Department of Justice that will investigate the cases of EJK.
02:06That's the right thing to do and it's not against our rules.
02:12If there's a lack of information that the committee has collected, they can ask directly to the people they want to interview,
02:26those who are involved in the cases that we investigated.
02:29According to Representative Barbers, many are approaching the Quad Committee to investigate,
02:35especially on the issue of EJK.
02:37He's hoping that the investigation will be completed before the end of the year.
02:41We may terminate the investigation in Pogo, in public accounts, the land bought by foreign nationals.
02:54I cannot really honestly say until when, but I'm looking at before the end of the year.
03:02For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nacatutok, 24 Hours.
