President Rodrigo Duterte said that due process should be followed in the “ninja cops” case. | NAMercadoINQ
“Give me a clear proof that he was indeed there in the trafficking of drugs,” the President said in a press conference following his arrival from his official visit to Russia.“I could not just do it in a knee-jerk [reaction]. I have to follow procedural due process and allow him time to answer,” he said. “The right to be heard — it’s given to the criminals, to the kidnappers. It should be given to a general of the Philippine National Police.
“Just give me proof because I’m a lawyer. You know, there is a legal maxim which we have to follow. Guilt is personal. That’s the problem. That’s why you have to hear before you condemn because guilt, as I said, is personal,” the President said, speaking partly in Filipino.
