00:00The House Squad Committee has yet to say if they will recommend that former President Rodrigo Duterte be tried.
00:09In their opinion, he became the center of the Umanoy Grand Criminal Enterprise in the country during his administration.
00:18This is what Mela Lesmora reported.
00:21The progress report of the House Squad Committee is now complete.
00:25It contains their initial findings, proposed legislations, and recommendations on the issue of illegal pogos, illegal drugs, and extrajudicial killings during the administration.
00:36According to Quadcom's lead chair Robert Ace Barbers, it is possible that they will present this in the plenary of the House of Representatives.
00:43Let's take a look at their report on the presentation of Senior Vice-Chair Romeo Acop in their 13th hearing.
00:50The Quad Committee has started to uncover a Grand Criminal Enterprise and it would seem that at the center of it is the former President.
01:01This is very painful because all of us are paralyzed.
01:07Acop's statement is said to be the sentiment of the entire Quad Committee.
01:11The media continues to ask if they will recommend that former President Rodrigo Duterte be tried.
01:17Now they believe that he is the center of this Umanoy Grand Criminal Enterprise.
01:22We are still studying who can be recommended criminally or administratively for those who are in government still.
01:35Because we don't want to assume that we don't have a base.
01:40Yesterday, the Quad Committee's discussion became heated again.
01:43The former PIDEA chief Wilkins Villanueva was dismissed for lying and avoiding questions.
01:50You're not respecting this committee's question of command responsibility. Are you not lying?
01:56No Mr. Chair.
01:58Also Mr. Chairman, with that, I move to cite in contempt General Wilkins.
02:03I have already given it to you. That's your answer.
02:08Usually, the following contempt is the arrest and detention order.
02:11But on Christmas Eve, the committee decided to implement the order.
02:15Before that, the police colonel Hector Grijaldo was also first to be contempted because of his repeated violations of obedience.
02:22If there are those who were contempted, there are also some personalities who were removed from the contempt order of the Quad.
02:27Including the former Bantarlat Mayor Alice Kuo, Cassandra Ong, Tony Yang, and Police Major Leo Laraga.
02:34Aside from the Quad, other committees will continue to listen next week.
