Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel on Wednesday said that he doesn’t see the need for former President Rodrigo Duterte to attend the next hearing on his administration’s controversial campaign against illegal drugs.“As of the moment, I see no need,” said Pimentel in a message to reporters. “If some senators see the need then if they manifest it, I will entertain the idea. But as of the moment, no one has.
"When asked how the Senate will verify all revelations made by Duterte, Pimentel said that they will look into the materials they have.“We have a lot of material to work with. Let the material stay. Let criminal law experts study very well the material with the committee,” said Pimentel.Further, Pimentel said that there is no schedule yet for the next hearing but they are hoping that retired police colonels Royina Garma and Edilberto Leonardo will attend soon.
