Philippines quad committee hearing set to proceed after cancellation
The quad committee hearing in the Philippines, originally canceled, will now take place on Wednesday at 10 a.m. House Secretary General Reginald Velasco confirmed the decision, stating that the lead presiding officer approved the continuation of the eleventh hearing. The hearing will occur at the People’s Center, where previous meetings have been held. The committee had initially planned to reschedule discussions to November 21 due to the need to verify numerous testimonies. Former President Rodrigo Duterte's supporters claimed he was ready to attend the hearing, but committee members clarified he had not confirmed his presence. Duterte's past drug war policies are under scrutiny, with allegations of irregularities in anti-drug operations being discussed.
