MANILA — The House of Representatives’ quad committee has invited former president Rodrigo Duterte to attend a hearing on October 22 regarding extrajudicial killings.
“The Joint Committee respectfully invites you to attend the inquiry to provide valuable insights and shed light on the issues under discussion, particularly on extrajudicial killings,” the letter addressed to Duterte stated.
The letter also requested confirmation of Duterte’s attendance to facilitate arrangements for his participation. “If you plan to make a presentation, submit documents, or deliver an opening statement, please provide these to the Committee Secretariat for preparation,” it added.
The hearing is scheduled for October 22 at 9:30 a.m. at the People’s Center Building in the House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, Senate President Chiz Escudero mentioned that the Senate’s blue ribbon committee would lead a parallel investigation into the matter.
