1:21:21 Our Beloved FPRRD opening statement ❤ " My First Mandate as a President of the Republic of of the Philippines was to protect the Filipino people. Do not question my policies because I offer no apologies, no excuses, I did what I had to do whether you believe it or not, I did it for my country. "

You are the best President there ever was PRRD. We felt and saw how you cared for us Filipinos. ❤

Condolences po sa mga namatay during war o n drugs but please also consider those girls who are victims of rape na habang buhay nilang trauma dahil sa mga rapist na nilamon ang utak ng droga.

I am not in favor nor against war on drugs but I am pro innocent people who cannot protect themselves dahil sa mga halang ang kaluluwa.

If the justice system in the Philippines is as strong as those in the other countries, maybe it will be different.

4:02:28 Sec Panelo " From my point of view, there was nothing illegal with PRRDs War on Drugs because it was a legal and necessary response to the country's pervasive and destructive drug problem. PRRD merely complied with his constitutional duty which is his prime duty, to serve and to protect the people. And his campaign promise and mandate to rid the country of drug menace" very true Sec Panelo. Which PRRD did and kept true to his word. Filipinos felt safer during his time. I felt safer during PRRDs time. The only people na takot ay yung mga sangkot sa kabulastugan. It wasn't perfect but you can see in the number of surrenderees Kung ilang buhay at pamilya ang nasagip ng war on drugs.

Big salute sa house of the senate sa pinakita nyo pong malaking respeto kay tatay digong namen. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Mabuhay po kayo! 🙏💚👊🇵🇭

4:08:35 Sen Estrada "How do you assess the campaign against the illegal drugs during your time Mr President, do you consider it as a success Mr President?"

Duterte: Mr Senator it is a continuing problem for the country and for the entire world. The drug problem is very serious pernicious virulent ailment that the country is facing"
" sa panahon ko and the previous Presidents. Sa panahon ko siguro di nyo nagustohan.." "I'm addressing the entire country, baka di nyo nagustohan but yun ang style ko. Sinabi ko nga, I tried to do the best I could. And Kung nag kulang ako, pasensya."

"ang solusyon during my time was a call of duty of the President. Ako yun kasi ako yung President sa panahon ko. At hindi ako nag kulang Mr Senator nag warning ako. Lahat narinig ng Pilipinas" Huminto kayo sa droga, bitawan ninyo. Drop it. Kasi magkakaproblema talaga tayo. Pag nakita Tayo sa isang Kanto at hawak mo ang droga, problema na talaga yan" " so nagka problema talaga Tayo, may patay an but it was not a state sponsored killing. There was never an official order to the police and the military and to the agents of government to kill." "wala akong sinabi na ganon kasi abugado ako."

"ang sinabi ko yung sinabi ko Yung nagtuturo ako sa Police Academy. That in your fulfillment of duty, yung elements of self defense would apply to you pag you are trying to arrest a person." "alam mo ang trabaho ng police kasi, pag sinabi mong aarrestohin kita, hindi hihinto Jan. The police must arrest and overcome the resistance. Para ma dala mo yung kriminal Doon sa istasyon at ma Book mo para ma kulong. Yan ang problema at naaawa ako sa mga police. Hindi mo ma sabi bitawan mo Yung baril at pag hindi sumunod, sabihin nalang ng police "oh sige bukas magkita Tayo dito wag kana mag dala ng baril""

How PRRD cares for his country. ❤

Mas safety tayo noong si PRESIDENT DUTERTE pa ang PRESIDENT

[nedualc]

Robin Padilla at 27:00 and Sen Bong Go 34:00 super Agree with everything you've said. I definitely felt safer under FPRRD during his war on drugs.

[nedualc]

4:42:40 Sen Estrada asked FPRRD if it was true that there was reward money (for every killed criminals as connected to accusing FPRRD of ejk)

To which FPRRD replied : "alam mo sir sagutin kita ng ganito. Bakit ako mag bayad sa kanila trabaho man nila Yan." "Kung may pera e bulsa ko nalang" "if there is a fund for that, why would I give it to them, e trabaho nila Yan" "the best that I could do is pupunta ako, niyaya ko Yan sila mi san ng kumain or kung may problema sila na personal.."

FPRRD is a legend. He is blunt, witty, smart, a heart and head of a true good leader. No wonder so many are trying so hard to pin him down. Pero wala e, wala sila sa kalingkingan which is why Most Filipinos love FPRRD.

[mrs.sundvall]

[nedualc]

1:23:08 FPRRD said "I have always viewed people addicted to illegal drugs as victims and patients requiring medical help and not as criminals" "repel the aggression only in self defence"

[joanBalagulan]

Mali ka hontiveros sa sinabi mong hindi kaylanman ipagmamalaki ng sambayanang Filipino ang war on drugs!
Ipinagmamalaki ko ang war on drugs!
Very well said Sen. Padilla!👏👏👏

[marvinmadrid]

Maganda sana yung war on drugs pero sana ayusin muna ang justice system di lahat kasi ng namamatay eh involve sa drugs

[nidadacutanan]

salute you senator Robin Padilla and God bless tatay Digong we love you ❤️

Riza is obviously on a vendetta. 🙄 She is a good politician, I'll give her that... But she's not a good public servant. Throughout the hearing, you can feel that bias against Duterte. If she is as half as a public servant as the PRRD, she would understand where he is coming from. But no, it's politics first for her and her party. It's her agenda that's questionable here, what of this hearing? What are you gonna do about the war on drugs? Are you gonna correct the wrongs there and implement it in a better way? Or just jail those who made a mistake on the line of duty because they thought they were fighting for the greater good of the people? What is the hearing all about? Is it just the EJK so you can surrender Duterte to the international court to avenge all those years where your party lost? 🤷 The hearing is pointless, it's just another trial by humiliation through the media. It's not even a formal one like the legal courts we have. That's why we have the judicial branch of government to settle rights. Senate is part of legislative branch, so whats the point of this hearing? Nakakahiya lang kayo diyan e.
Our senators are becoming audacious and are a joke.
Where the power lies, their loyalty lies too just until the power transfers to another in the next election.
Ladies and gentlemen, our politicians in the Philippines. Corrupt, unjust, biased, and have no loyalty. You should not be surprised if we find ourselves sold to a foreign land in the future, that's just politics for them. Tsk. 🤬🤬🤬

[nedualc]

I missed having the "War on Drugs" under PRRD because I felt safer. The drug addicts in our place nag bait talaga dahil nag surrender po sila. But now, so many innocents are dying from the hands of drug addicts. So Hontiveros, I don't know where your mind is. PRRD is the best President that there ever was.

[ma.lourdesmillan]

Big respect to Tatay Digong only in his time we feel

[sptheexplorer]

Look at the respect FPRDD is receiving in the Senate. These dudes are still calling Du30 "Mr. President".
