00:36-00:51 I was the one who gave the order. No matter if they did that illegally or legally, I take full responsibility for it.

[SOT]

CHRISTINA PASCUAL 

MOTHER OF DRUG WAR VICTIM

TRANSLATION

01:07-01:22 If the former president did not order killings and did not protect the police, then there would not be many innocent children dead. 

01:23-01:29 We were even more devastated when we found out about the reward system for the police. 

01:30-01:33 It’s like it was so easy to play with the lives of our loved ones.

[SOT]

LLORE PASCO

MOTHER OF DRUG WAR VICTIM

TRANSLATION: 

01:34-01:47 We are scared for our lives but now that we are facing former President Duterte, we are hoping that the truth will come out 

01:48-02:03 so we can attain justice for the killings not just of our children but all the killings during Duterte’s bloody war on drugs.

[FAMILIES, PHOTOS OF KILLED SUSPECTS]

THE STRATEGY OF THE POLICE WAS TO SAY THE SUSPECTS “FOUGHT BACK” – A CLAIM FAMILIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS DENIED// THIS WAS THE SAME TACTIC IMPLEMENTED IN DUTERTE’S WAR ON DRUGS IN DAVAO CITY WHEN HE WAS MAYOR//

[SOT]

FR. FLAVIE VILLANUEVA SVD

CATHOLIC PRIEST HELPING DRUG WAR VICTIMS

TRANSLATIONS: 

02:17-02:34 witnessed the illegal system and the brutal killing of the poor. 

02:35-02:50Those firearms would have corresponding reports attached to them – it should have. Then we would know if the excuse that suspects fought back is a myth or the truth. 02:51-02:57 But because what we know is that – what happened in Davao simply was replicated nationwide.

[FILE VIDEOS OF DUTERTE C/O RTVM]

DUTERTE CALLS ON THE I-C-C TO HURRY UP AND INVESTIGATE HIM. HE SAYS HE IS NOT AFRAID OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL// 

[DUTERTE IN HEARING]

BUT IN 2018/ WHEN THE ICC PLANNED TO PROBE THE DRUG WAR/ DUTERTE ORDERED THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE PHILIPPINES FROM THE ROME STATUTE – THE TREATY THAT CREATED THE ICC//

[SOT]

RODRIGO DUTERTE

FORMER PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT

TRANSLATION: 

03:15-03:25 The ICC does not scare me a bit. They can come here anytime. I would welcome them. 

03:26-03:41 I’m asking the ICC through you to come here tomorrow and start investigating me. And if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.

[PTC/STANDUPPER]

DUTERTE AND HIS ALLIES MAINTAIN THE ICC HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER THE PHILIPPINES//

BUT WITH THE ALL-OUT POLITICAL WAR ONCE-ALLIES MARCOSES AND THE DUTERTES, IT SEEMS THE PHILIPPINES GOVERNMENT IS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE SHOULD THE ICC ORDER THE ARREST OF DUTERTE//
