"Kaya umiyak 'yung tao nga eh. It's an insult na
sabihin it's a policy of the police to kill," Duterte said.
Chief PNP Dela Rosa cannot contain her emotions in the
senate hearing when Senator Risa Hontiveros keeps on reiterating that there
seems to be a “system to the killings.”
Media during police operations
The President suggested that the PNP should bring along with
them members of the media in their police operations to be the third party if
there is indeed anomalous or foul in all illegal drugs operations conducted by
the authorities.
"Paunahin mo sila so that they can get the story
from the beginning to the end. Kasi kung papasukin lang at tapos na ang
barilan, sabi naman niyo, 'Ah, tinapunan lang 'yan ng baril diyan,'"
Duterte said.
At the early part of the hearing , Chief PNP Dela Rosa
already denied once again that there is a directive coming from the President
himself as regards a state policy of killing drug suspects.
However, he said deaths
of few is to be expected in their war against illegal drugs, Senator Hontiveros
told the PNP chief that she was asking an accountability from the president.
Hontiveros was criticized by the President, saying two deaths did not make a policy. *
"Dalawang patay. Palagay na natin, pinatay, murder o..
I asked Hontiveros, 'Is that already a policy? Is that the baseline of a
policy?' Paka-bobo naman niya," Duterte said.
He then accused Hontiveros of politicking, and asked why
there was no reaction from her when a family was massacred in Bulacan.
"'Yung limang pinatay doon sa Bulacan, na pati 'yung
one-year-old na bata pinakialaman, pinatay … Why don't I hear, I do not
hear her crying or even complaining that the police are not doing enough,"
Duterte said. "Ang problema sa inyo, 'yung pinapakialaman niyo,
'yung patayan, 'yung magamit ninyo sa politika."
