Retired General Filmore Escobal uploaded a 13-minute video taken during the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte at Villamor Airbase on March 11, 2025.
The incident occurred moments before Duterte was transferred to a plane that was set to bring him to the Hague.
He uploaded the video after Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief P/Gen. Nicolas Torre III claimed that Escobal couldn’t look at his eyes during the incident.
However, the video showed a different story as Torre appeared not to be looking at Escobal, who was recording the video.
“March 11, 2025 ay nakatatak na sa kasaysayan ng mga Pilipino. Hindi nagsisnungaling ang ebidensya. Sino and hindi makatingin sa kumukuha ng video at naging mata ng buong bayan kung paano illegal na inaresto and dating Pangulong Duterte, Atty Midealdea, Atty Delgra, Miss Kitty at Mam Honeylet,” said Escobal.
“Nagtapang tapangan sa dami ng pulis na halos hindi na sundin ang kanyang utos, may natira lang na respeto sa proceso pero hindi ibig sabihin walang mga testigo,” he added.
