Sa pagkakaalam nyo, ano po ba yung punot dulo ng galit, puot o gigil sa inyo ni former President Duterte?

It dates back doon sa CHR days, in 2009, when I initiated the investigation into the DBS killings, CHR.

Na pumunta kami sa Davao, nagkanda kami ng series of public inquiries there into the DBS killings, which are attributed to him as the, again, the mastermind of those killings.

Now, which were the subject of the report of then UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights, Philip Alston.

There was also the report of Human Rights Watch.

So, nung nabasa ko yung mga reports na yun, tapos pinag-validate ko rin doon sa local office ng CHR, we decided to conduct a public inquiry, a series of public inquiry.

And in fact, the very first resource person that we summoned was then Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

And in that public hearing, there was really an intense exchange.

Between the two of us, I was calling him out for his failure to act on those unresolved killings of petty criminals, which were attributed to the so-called Davao Death Squad.

So, nagsimula doon, and when I became a senator, and he became the president, malay ko ba na magiging presidente siya?

Malay ko ba na magiging senadora ko in 2016?

And inulit na naman nila yung pinaggagawa nila doon.

And I wanted to do something right away.

So, sa July pa lang noon, in 2016, kakaupo pa lang namin, I immediately filed a resolution seeking for a Senate inquiry under my committee, Committee on Justice.

And then, human rights.

In fact, some of my colleagues there then, and some friends, saka yung mga schoolmates ko rin sa San Beda, were dissuading me, were discouraging me from doing it.

Sabi nila, it's too early. Magagalit talaga yan sa'yo.

And, you know, it's too early, it's so popular, and talagang babalikan ka niyan.

Sabi ko naman, should I wait for more killings?

For more, for the figures to rise?

Because by then, I think it was a little more than 500 na yung mga naging biktima ng mga EJKs.

Because it was almost daily killings.

So, pag-umpisa pa lang, ay nagsimula na kaagad.

And I immediately saw that it was a replication of the DDS killings.

Tinan-sport lang niya sa Metro Manila and other parts of the country.

So, I said, I cannot wait for more killings to happen before I could act as the chairperson of the committee,

especially so that I am a human rights advocate.

And I used to handle cases like this sa CHR.

So, final ko yun.

Lalo siya nag-alit.

Doon nag-umpisa.

And kaya nga,

pinatalsik nila ako as chairperson of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

And sinimulan na nga nila akong siraan directly by the President,

almost on a daily basis also.

Tapos sinimulan na rin yung hearings na yun before the House Committee,

the witch hunt, the kangaroo court, the vilification.

So, diyan.

It's all about vengefulness.

Sobra lang yung naging galit nung dating Pangulo.

Dahil I dared investigate him.

Lalo na nun sa Davao.

Hindi niya akalain somebody from Manila and a lady at that or a woman at that

calling me out in his own territory.

That is his kingdom, Davao.

And then pinuntahan ko siya.

And then nagharap kami doon.

Nagdebate kami doon, so he could not take it.

So, kilim-kip niya yun, hindi niya nakalimutan, hindi ako napatawad.

And so, that was the chance when I became a senator.

And as I said, well, kakita niyo naman yun dahil nga inimbestigahan ko na naman siya.

And so, that's it.

Hindi na niya.

Hindi na niya pinalampas.
