Former President Rodrigo Duterte declined to attend the House Quad Committee’s inquiry on extrajudicial killings from his administration’s drug war, citing doubts over the committee’s impartiality. He criticized lawmakers for their reactions to his absence and dismissed the possibility of being intimidated by threats of contempt. Duterte also accused certain committee members of perjury coercion. His legal team argued that Duterte had not received formal notice for the hearing. The former president denies ordering killings without due cause despite allegations from former police officers.
