Former President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday morning arrived at the Senate to face the blue ribbon committee’s investigation into his administration's war on drugs .In an ambush interview, Duterte said he implemented the bloody anti-drug campaign to “protect” the Filipinos.“I did what I had to do because kailangan kong gawin . Why? To protect the people and my country,” the former chief executive said.
Duterte also said he has no problem with possibly facing former Senator Leila de Lima, who was detained in Camp Crame since February 2017 over allegations of drug trade, which she has repeatedly denied.“I am here to make an accounting of what I did as President, so walang problema ,” he said.In November 2023, De Lima was freed on bail after nearly seven years in detention.Duterte also said he hopes there will be a fair treatment in the Senate probe.
