Face the inquiry

Amid the explosive revelations that have come out of the hearings at the House of Representatives, former president Rodrigo Duterte has finally expressed readiness to face the four committees conducting a joint inquiry into his crackdown on illegal drugs, if he is invited. So the quad committee is formally inviting him. Duterte can then expound on his denial of the existence of a quota and reward system in the Philippine National Police for killing drug suspects, as certain retired and active PNP officers have testified before the quad comm.

Duterte won't be the first former president to face a congressional inquiry. Fidel Ramos had also answered questions from the Senate regarding the independent power producers that he tapped to end the crippling blackouts that started in the final months of Corazon Aquino's presidency. Noynoy Aquino also defended before the Senate the use of the anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia during his administration.
