00:00The House Squad Committee has yet to say if they will recommend the former President Rodrigo Duterte to be tried.
00:07In their opinion, he became the center of the country's grand criminal enterprise during his administration.
00:17This is what Mela Las Moras has to say.
00:22The House Squad Committee's progress report is now complete,
00:25which includes their initial findings, proposed legislations, and recommendations on the issue of illegal pogos, illegal drugs, and extrajudicial killings during the administration.
00:37According to Quadcom Lead Chair Robert A. Barbers, in March, it is possible that they will present this in the plenary of the House.
00:43He will look at their report, the presentation of Senior Vice-Chair Romeo Acop in their 13 hearings.
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 have been cut off.
01:07Barbers said that the sentiment of the entire Quadcom is what Acop said.
01:11The media continues to ask if they will recommend the former President Rodrigo Duterte to be tried.
01:17Now they believe that he is the center of this grand criminal enterprise.
01:23We are still studying who can be recommended criminally or administratively for those who are in government still.
01:35We don't want to be biased that we have no basis.
01:40Yesterday, the discussion of Quadcom became heated again.
01:43The former PDEA Chief Wilkins Villanueva was dismissed for lying and avoiding questions.
01:50You're not respecting this committee's question of command responsibility.
01:55Are you not lying?
01:57No, Mr. Chair.
01:58Also, Mr. Chairman, with that, I move to cite in contempt General Wilkins.
02:03I have already given you the answer.
02:08Usually, the following contempt is the arrest and detention order.
02:12But on Christmas Eve, in January, the committee will implement the order.
02:16Before that, Police Colonel Hector Grijaldo was also first contempted because of his repeated violation of the hearing.
02:22If there are those who were contempted, there are also some personalities who were removed from the contempt order of the Quadcom.
02:28Among them are the former Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Kuo, Cassandra Ong, Tony Yang, and Police Major Leo Larraga.
02:34Aside from the Quadcom, other committees will continue to listen next week.
