Duterte, 'most responsible' in bloody drug war, must undergo House investigation – Brosas
Brosas said Duterte should be present during the investigation by the House Committee on Human Rights.
“We have been asking the former president time and again to come here so that we can help him. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa nangyayari,” Brosas said during the recent committee hearing.
“Patuloy po tayong magkaroon heard during the Duterte administration hanggang sa matapos natin at malaman talaga natin yung katotohanan sa [EJKs] na kinomit,” she added. “And we would like na yun pinakataas, pinaka-pinuno, pinaka-responsable, yung siyang dapat magpaliwanag.”
