00:00The Mandaluyong City Regional Trial Court issues warrants of arrest against retired police officers Royina Garma and Edilberto Leonardo,
00:09both implicated in drug war cases over the killing of former Philippine Chaiti Sweepstakes Office Board Member Wesley Barayuga in 2020.
00:17The warrant also covers Jeremy Causapin, Elias Toks, Nelson Mariano, and Whistleblower Police Lt. Col. Santi Mendoza.
00:24The judge did not set bail for the five. Garma had made a tell-all testimony of how then-President Rodrigo Duterte asked her to design a reward system in the war on drugs.
00:36Garma said Leonardo was the head strategist of the system and was handpicked supposedly by her because he matched what Duterte allegedly wanted, someone good with money.
00:45Leonardo is on the ICC's list of people under suspicion.
00:48Garma reportedly flew to Malaysia this month to meet with international criminal court investigators as a potential witness against Rodrigo Duterte in his crimes against humanity case.
