Lawmakers challenged former President Rodrigo Duterte to attend the House’s drug war probe after he threatened to “kick” its members. Rep. Jefferson Khonghun and Rep. Paolo Ortega urged Duterte to fulfill his threat and attend the hearing on Wednesday. Duterte’s lawyer, Atty. Martin Delgra III, previously cited cost and doubts about the panel’s integrity as reasons for Duterte’s absence. Quad committee leaders even offered to cover Duterte’s expenses to attend. Lawmakers emphasized mutual respect, asserting that they represent the Filipino people.
