Transcript

00:00The former President Rodrigo Duterte and former Senator Laila Delima are now waiting to be heard by the camera

00:08as well as the War on Drugs of the previous administration.

00:12Yesterday, the two were invited by the low-ranking members of the Congress,

00:16Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa and Mela Lesmora, to the center of the news.

00:23Senator Bato de la Rosa will not attend the hearing of the House Committee on Human Rights

00:29regarding the War on Drugs of the former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:33Yesterday, the committee decided to call the former President Duterte and Senator de la Rosa

00:39so that they can hear the voices of the children who died in the drug war.

00:44Just like Jennifer Padlan, the daughter of a man who died under the program

00:50who was mistakenly involved in drugs.

01:11Much as I want to give courtesy to the former President

01:15and the Senator Bato de la Rosa,

01:21because of the gravity of the testimonies of these victims,

01:25they should face these people and hear their complaints.

01:31Perhaps what I'm saying is perhaps the former President would look it to his own heart

01:37and realize what he has done in the past six years.

01:41According to Senator de la Rosa, he is ready to face anything,

01:45but he asked for an advice from Senate President Francis Escudero

01:48and he did not allow him to go to the D1 of the Inter-Parliamentary Courtesy.

01:53In the separate statement of S.P. Escudero, he confirmed what de la Rosa said

01:58and he said that he is supportive of Senator Bato de la Rosa no matter what his decision is.

02:02As of now, there is no statement about the former President,

02:06but according to the earlier hearings, the former administration's camp has also defended the issue.

02:12Aside from Duterte and de la Rosa,

02:14the former Senator Laila de Lima was also invited by the committee as a resource person.

02:19From the point of view of the Rise and Shine Philippines segment,

02:22Professor Antonio Contreras also discussed the situation of de Lima

02:26following his complete release after being jailed for a long time under the former administration.

02:32We have to make sure that the rule of law could not be weaponized against anyone.

02:38Just because you don't like that person,

02:40just because that person is against you,

02:44is your political enemy or your political critique,

02:48we should be aware of our discourses.

02:51Meanwhile, yesterday, in the Human Rights Panel hearing,

02:55the former President's plan to run for senator the next year was also raised.

03:00His two children, Davao City First District Representative Paulo Duterte

03:05and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, were also raised.

03:07Some lawmakers have something to say about this.

03:11They will run for the Senate.

03:12Your decision is now up to you.

03:15I support what the Congressman said.

03:17It's good that we are in the next election.

03:20Let's not let politicians who do not believe in human rights win.

03:27A winning politician needs to have compassion for Filipinos.

03:32Mela Las Moras for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
