Koko leads Senate's parallel probe; vows impartiality The House of Representatives' consolidated panel investigating extra judicial killings (EJKs)
The House of Representatives’ consolidated panel investigating extra judicial killings perpetrated during the previous administration’s term has finally sent former President Rodrigo Duterte a formal invitation to attend one of its hearings.
Meanwhile, the former president expressed willingness to attend congressional investigations into EJKs even as he vehemently denied ordering policemen to summarily execute suspected drug personalities during his incumbency. As this developed, Senate President Francis Escudero announced that the Blue Ribbon Committee would handle the Upper Chamber’s upcoming parallel probe into the thousands of deaths linked to the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.
