Before Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel suspended the hearing, he informed the former chief executive that he was allowed to leave.

However, Duterte insisted that he wanted to stay throughout the hearing as he wanted to answer more questions from the panel.

“Mr. President, by unanimous position, you are now excused from the hearing. Thank you for attending,” said Pimentel.

“Ayoko sir,” Duterte responded.

Pimentel then explained that Duterte’s allies also proposed his dismissal.

“Thank you sir. Whether you like it or not, kasi itong mga kaibigan mo rito, gusto na kayo ipa-relax,” Pimentel told Duterte.

Duterte then responded: “Ayaw ko kasi there are so many questions that would be left unanswered,”

The former president eventually left the hearing and the session was resumed minutes later.
