The unthinkable has happened: police Colonel Lito Patay is grilled in Congress about his alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings
In the six years under Rodrigo Duterte , it was completely inconceivable to bring police officer Lito E. Patay to Congress and be grilled by legislators. First of all, the topic was classic Duterte untouchable:between the Dutertes and the Bongbong Marcos administration. Colonel Lito Patay froze at congressional representatives’ pointed questions.
Back in Davao, Patay had an aura of legend about him. One of the Davao Boys intimated to the Reuters writers: “” . He said his group was sent purposely to Station 6 because of their “special kill skills.”Remember this was just the first year of Duterte’s drug war from July 2016 to June 2017. In the few months that Patay headed Station 6, it chalked up a death tally of 108. It was the highest in all of Quezon City. Second was Station 4 with 81 deaths. Total killed in Quezon City was 280 people.
In 2017, Patay was promoted and assigned as regional director of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group of Central Luzon based in Pampanga. and the Davao Boys for the first time. He said he was standing by Patay and the Davao Boys. He said they fired only in self-defense. It was a classic Dutertismo lie.Dela Rosa said he chose Patay “because I have big trust in him, he has the balls to face the problems. He will fight.
