"Let's do it!" Duterte reportedly told his former executive secretary, Salvador Medialdea.
The 79-year-old Duterte is flying in from his retirement house in Davao City, a source from his camp told The STAR last night.
"They will be surprised," the source said, referring to the quad committee.
"But since you're going to report it, hindi na surprise," the source, who asked not to be named, quipped. "He is ready on Wednesday."
The former president will undergo an undisclosed "medical procedure" to clear him for the flight to Manila, although the source quoted Duterte as saying: "Kaya ko yan. Utak naman gagamitin ko, hindi naman katawan (I can handle it. I'll be using my brain anyway, not my body)."
Called "fPRRD" by his supporters for former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte - he previously sent word through his lawyer that he would not attend the quad comm hearing, citing the lack of integrity and probity of certain congressmen he did not identify.
The lawyer had also claimed that certain witnesses were "pressured" to testify that they have personal knowledge of the involvement of the former president in the alleged extrajudicial killings while he was Davao City mayor and during his presidency from 2016 to 2022.
