The House Quad Committee has retracted the rescheduled November 21 hearing and reverted to its original date, November 13, when Former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to be present.
This will be the 11th Joint Public Hearing on the lawmakers' legislative inquiry into the war on illegal drugs during the former president's administration.
"Please be informed that the 11th Joint Public Hearing will proceed tomorrow, Nov. 13, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the People's Center Building, House of Representatives, Quezon City. Kindly disregard the earlier notice of cancellation regarding this matter," Committee on Dangerous Drugs Chairperson Representative Ace S. Barbers said in a letter dated November 12.
According to a report by RH Henri Uri, Duterte initially indicated that he would go to Congress and request a 10-day marathon hearing from the Quad Committee.
