House committee to submit POGO, EJK probe report by Dec 21

The House Quad Committee plans to submit an initial report on its investigation into illegal drugs, their links to POGOs, and extrajudicial killings before Congress adjourns on December 21.

The report will propose 15 new remedial laws, including four that amend the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

The committee aims for these recommendations to be adopted and potentially included in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s priority legislative agenda.

Additionally, the panel will recommend filing complaints against at least 10 individuals implicated in the illegal drug trade, Pogos, and extrajudicial killings during the previous administration.

The committee will not invite former President Duterte to future hearings, as his previous statements are deemed sufficient for the probe.
