On Thursday’s hearing led by Senator Leila De Lima, Senator Cayetano warns that it could be a tactic  made by the Liberal Party to destroy the name of President Rodrigo Duterte that could possibly remove him from power and claim a president of their own.

The senator is asking the motive of Senator De Lima and the motive of the Liberal Party thus he is testing whether the witness presented is credible or just part of the plan B of the Liberal Party to destroy the President.  Cayetano feels uncertain over the accusations made by Matobato, a self- confessed member of the suspected Davao Death Squad (DDS) who testified against the President without proper evidence before the hearing.

To falsify protests against the President’s alleged involvement in Davao’s killing during his term as mayor, Senator Cayetano cited that the local office of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) already denied Davao Death Squad existed.
