Former President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated that he took full responsibility for his administration's bloody war on drugs.
During the eleventh public hearing of the House Quad Committee on Wednesday, November 13, House Assistant Minority Leader and Gabriela Women's Party Rep. Arlene Brosas questioned Duterte on his accountability for the controversial anti-drug campaign.
"Sinabi niya po na full responsibility, so totoo ba 'yan?" Brosas asked.
In response, Duterte firmly asserted his stance: "Very correct. Since I was the president and there was this, until now, serious problem about drugs, I had to issue or make a policy statement about drugs. And all that happened, 'yung nangyari pursuant to my order to stop the drug problem in this country—akin 'yun, akin na akin 'yun. Ako ang nagbigay ng order, kese ginawa nila îllégâl or legal, akin 'yun. I take full responsibility for it."
