00:00The Philippine National Police can also open a case of murder of several local officials of the war on drugs.
00:07The House Squad Committee also investigated if the Duterte administration used confidential funds as a reward to the police who were killed during the drug war.
00:17First news, Jonathan Andal.
00:19The alleged money laundering of those who were killed in the drug war was the term used by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:31What the House Squad Committee wants to know is where the money came from.
00:36According to one of the chairmen of the committee, it was possibly taken from the intelligence funds of Duterte.
00:41That's why the former president investigated the intel fund because Rohina Garma told us that's where the money came from.
00:52So we need to find out where the money came from and we're pretty sure that's where the money came from, from the intel fund.
00:59The Squad Committee will call for a COA or Commission on Audit to investigate the intelligence funds of Duterte in his administration.
01:06We're looking into how the money came from because in the first two months, we saw that there was a sudden increase.
01:16From the former president, Pinoy, the intel fund suddenly increased. From a certain month, it seems like a big amount was used.
01:28According to the GMA Integrated News Research, the confidential and intelligence funds of former President Noynoy Aquino were worth Php500 million in 2016.
01:37They were divided according to Duterte.
01:40When the Duterte administration made the budget for 2017-2019, the confi and intel funds increased by Php5 billion or Php2.5 billion.
01:51They increased to Php4.5 billion from 2019-2022.
01:56Under the COA audit, the confi and intel funds of Malacanang were included, but the details of the findings were not made public due to its possible effect on national security.
02:06That's why Fernandez thinks that it will be difficult for them to investigate the intel funds of the former president.
02:11He said that they can make it a law based on their investigation.
02:15I think it's high time that we have to strengthen the policy of our COA.
02:20If there's an abusive intent in using the intel fund to kill people and pay those who perpetrate it, then I think we need to tighten up the liquidation.
02:37The PNP will investigate the so-called cold cases or murder cases of local officials in the context of the drug war.
02:45That's according to the revelation of former Police Colonel Ruyena Garma that there were police officers involved in the murder of Tanawan City Mayor Antonio Halili in 2018.
02:55We will look into who were involved, particularly the elected officials and other well-known personalities who died during the height of the anti-drug campaign during the time of the previous administration.
03:11The PNP is also investigating the so-called police official named Garma who was involved in the murder of Halili.
03:17He is Police Captain Kenneth Albotra who is located in Police Regional Office 7 in Central Visayas.
03:23Kenneth Albotra is the one who interviewed by GMA Integrated News who said that Garma's allegation is not true.
03:29To be fair to him, although he's saying that he's not the one who's being questioned, but definitely he will be questioned with respect to this case.
