00:17The support of the House Quad Committee for the EJK Task Force of the Department of Justice
00:22that it will focus on the first extrajudicial killings of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:29According to the Quad-Com's lead chair Robert Ace Barbers,
00:32they have already helped the task force and all they can help will be given here in the name of justice and fairness.
00:40All they need in the build-up of the case,
00:46up to the preliminary investigation of the witnesses,
00:53they can do that through the Quad-Com.
00:55We will actually give them full access here because that's what's right.
01:02In the 10th hearing of the Quad-Committee yesterday,
01:05the EJK victims were presented in front of the joint panel.
01:13Until now, they are still emotional when they talk about the victims of the killings.
01:20I hope you will help us to give them justice
01:26so that our thoughts will be peaceful.
01:33Because when my son was buried,
01:38I told them that the day will come when we will give them justice.
01:47I hope this is the right time.
01:51Rin was also accused of talking about illegal drugs.
01:54At the first opportunity, the businesswoman, Rose Nonolin,
01:58was confronted by the wife of the former drug lord, Allan Lim.
02:01But in the interpellation, she was turned to the congressmen in Silin
02:04because most of the time, she cannot answer about her husband.
02:08If you are her husband, maybe you can include your husband in this hearing
02:13so that once and for all, we can ask him.
02:17Mr. Chair, I can bring the invitation,
02:20but I can't promise that he will be included in this hearing.
02:25All of these issues were brought to the former President Duterte,
02:29but he did not attend the hearing.

02:35because of what they are saying against him.
02:38The Quad-Committee was invited again even by the lawyer of the former President.
02:44We perfectly understand his sentiments about him.
02:48In deference to him being the former President,
02:51we still will accord him all the necessary courtesy
02:57that we can extend to him for being the former President.
