Self-confessed hitman Edgar Matobato on Tuesday claimed that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte had quarrels with her father over the alleged presence of the Davao Death Squad (DDS) in their hometown.
"Si Mayor Sara mabait yan. Kasi nag-aaway yang mag-ama (tungkol sa DDS). Galit yan," Matobato said in a Facebook interview of the Inquirer.
Matobato added that Sara also called for the resignation of then Davao City PNP chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa due to numerous unsolved murder cases.
"Si Mayor, Si Sara noon nagkagalit 'yan ni Bato kasi ang daming namamatay, sabi ni Mayor Sara walang nahuhuli. Sabi ni Mayor Sara bumaba ka na sa puwesto mo. Ang sabi ni Bato naman hindi pa tapos 'yung termino ko," Matobato said.
On the other hand, Matobato said Duterte's youngest son Baste focused on his stint as vocalist of a local band.
"Kanta-kanta yung kang Baste, 'yung combo," he said.
He noted that no other member of the Duterte family is involved in the DDS aside from its patriarch.
Meanwhile, Matobato said solving murder cases involving the DDS is also impossible since members of the death squad are also members of the Davao City PNP.
He noted that even riding in tandem hitmen are also members of the police force.
"Siyemre ang daming namamatay sa Davao pero walang nahuhuli. Kasi paano pagkahuli, mga pulis man mga DDS. 'Yung mga nagche-checkpoint, pagtingin pulis direcho agad sila. Yung mga riding in tandem,yan ang mga naka-sibilyan na pulis," Matobato said.
Last year, Matobato appeared at the Senate justice committee hearing on the alleged state-sponsored killings where he admitted personally executing at least 50 people on the elder Duterte's orders.
However, 11 senators agreed there was no proof on the existence of the so-called Davao Death Squad despite Matobato’s testimony linking Duterte to the killings.
Last month, Matobato filed multiple charges, including murder and kidnapping, against the elder Duterte, Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, Dela Rosa, and 25 others at the Office of the Ombudsman.
In his affidavit, Matobato claimed the DDS executed more than 1,000 suspected criminals and other individuals from the time it was established in 1988 until the time he left the group in 2013.
Matobato's legal counsel Jude Sabio, meanwhile, said they will also present a new witness who will back his client's statements.
Sabio said the witness allegedly saw Duterte shoot a person in Davao City in May 2012.
