House panel to examine credibility of Duterte's drug war claims

The House of Representatives quad committee in the Philippines will investigate the credibility of former President Rodrigo Duterte's statements regarding his administration's war on drugs. This decision follows concerns about Duterte's tendency to retract his comments. During a hearing on November 13, Duterte challenged the International Criminal Court to begin its investigation into alleged crimes against humanity but later claimed the ICC had no jurisdiction in the Philippines. The committee will review Duterte's past statements, including his admission of planting evidence and his claims of killing criminals while serving as mayor of Davao City.
