In a radio interview yesterday, CHR Chairman Richard Palpal-latoc said the task force was created to identify officials involved in the killings committed in relation to the so-called war against illegal drugs.

Palpal-latoc added that testimonies during the ongoing hearings, including statements made by Duterte before the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee on Monday, would be taken into account in their investigation.

"Whatever was stated there, not just by president Duterte, but also by the other witnesses, we took note of them. That will be part of our investigation," Palpal-latoc said over dzBB.
