RETIRED Lt. Col. Royina Garma kept silent for 32 seconds when first asked if she was one of the implementers of the bloody drug war in Davao City when Rodrigo Duterte was mayor there and she was a police station commander.
When Kabataan party-list Rep. Raoul Manuel repeated his question, upon the request of the House quad committee chair Robert Ace Barbers for clarification, the beleaguered Garma responded, 'Yes, Mr. Chair.'In the past hearings of the quad committee — composed of the committees on dangerous drugs, public order and safety, human rights and public accounts — Garma denied her role in the drug war despite repeated questions from lawmakers.
However, Garma's affidavit was silent on her role in the drug war operation's structure. It was only upon questioning by the lawmakers that she spoke about it, albeit hesitantly.What she emphasized was the immense power of Col. Edilberto Leonardo, who worked in tandem with now Sen. Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go, in Duterte's drug war operations.
