Key leaders of the House Quad Committee said the denials of Senators Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa and Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on their alleged participation in the Duterte administration’s policy encouraging extrajudicial killings and drug war cash reward system do not hold water.
The chair of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety said at least two witnesses, retired police colonel and former Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office general manager Royina Garma and PNP Lt. Col. Jovie Espenido, testified that a scheme of payouts to hitmen neutralizing or killing drug suspects existed.
“Our impression is that the intelligence funds came from the Office of the President and the PNP. When these funds are audited, we will find out who is telling the truth or lying: Sen. Bato and Sen. Bong Go, or Garma and Espenido,” Barbers said.
