00:00Also, the Makbayang Block was arrested and there was a small press conference that we are expecting now to explain what our response is in accordance with the statements of the former President, Duterte.
00:15We want to clarify the situation regarding the arrival of the former President Duterte to the House of Representatives tomorrow.
00:24It is clear that he does not have a schedule here. There is no scheduled hearing.
00:30What is scheduled is just a mass for the victims of war on drugs.
00:36Then, Duterte wants to go here and run this mass.
00:45It is really early in the day that the voices of the victims of war on drugs should be heard.
00:52It is clear that Duterte is just conducting a serious investigation.
00:59He knows and he was formally informed that there is no scheduled hearing tomorrow.
01:04But he still plans to go there to be noticed and to cause trouble.
01:11This is another publicity stunt from the former President.
01:16This kind of style repeatedly avoids the formal process.
01:22If you remember, we called this the Committee on Human Rights' hearing in front of the victims of war on drugs.
01:34But he did not come.
01:35In the next hearing, he did not come.
01:38In the third hearing, he did not come.
01:40We called him consistently, but he did not come.
01:45Now, this is what he wants.
01:48He wants this kind of style to be repeated.
01:52He avoids the formal process.
01:54He shows it to the media to control the narrative.
01:59He wants to show that the House is leading the investigation.
02:04He is the one who continues to avoid the real accountability.
02:10We urge Duterte to respond to the process.
02:15He went to the right hearing on the right day and answered the questions of the committee.
02:21Stop the publicity stunts and attention to the media.
02:26But if he will insist, then face it.
02:31We will not put him in the blacklist.
02:35Secretary Panelo said that he is ready to do a 10-day marathon hearing of the Quad.
02:45What can you say to Panelo's threat to hold down the 10-day hearing?
02:53Of course, the former president will come, not only Panelo, but also his supporters, his rabid fans.
03:02And of course, you might face each other there.
03:05What can we expect from you in front of his fans, bloggers, whatever?
03:13In our part, honestly, given the performance of the judges in the investigation,
03:23honestly, if we extend it for a few more days, we can do it.
03:28The question is, can the former president Rodrigo Duterte do it?
03:32Actually, we want to ask him the question.
03:35Because if we recall in the Senate, what happened?
03:39When he could not answer the question of a senator,
03:44he himself asked for a suspension of the investigation
03:49so that he can take a break from the intense questions.
03:54Because if he does not give up, he can only say a few things.
04:00Even though, in truth, he is the one who should explain a lot.
