PHCo-chairmen of the House quad-committee (quad-comm) believe that the testimonial evidence gathered by the mega-panel so far are strong.
Sharing this view on Tuesday, Oct. 15 were Surigao del Norte 2nd district Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, Santa Rosa City lone district Rep. Dan Fernandez, and Manila 6th district Rep. Bienvenido "Benny" Abante Jr.
The special four-way panel is currently investigating the alleged interconnected issues of extrajudicial killings (EJKs), îllégâl Philippine Offshore and Gaming Operators (POGOs), and the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.
“The evidence so far unearthed in the quad-comm belies Senators [Ronald] Bato [dela Rosa]’s and Bong Go’s denials of EJK involvement and existence of the reward system that was public knowledge during the previous administration, particularly in the Philippine National Police (PNP),” Fernandez said.
Fernandez said at least two witnesses, a retired police colonel and former Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager Royina Garma and PNP Lt. Col. Jovie Espenido, testified that a scheme of payouts to hitmen neutralizing or killing drug suspects existed.
“Not only did it exist; it was managed by higher-ups, meaning by Malacañang (Duterte administration),” said Fernandez.
