Description
In this episode, I talk to Antonio Montalvan II, a writer and columnist who has been following closely the developments in the ICC's investigation into the "drug war" killings in the Philippines. We discuss why the quadcom, while important, is not a "truth commission" and why it won’t end the reign of the Dutertes. He also reveals his interactions with Arturo Lascanas, one of the Davao Death Squad hitmen whose testimony to the ICC is crucial in the investigation. He also belies the accusation by Rep. Benny Abante, one of the co-chairs at the quadcom, that former senator Sonny Trillanes is "conniving" with the ICC.
