"There's still no invitation, but I would be happy to attend. It's an institution of government. They might want me to clarify, answer, or whatever... I am ready for that," the former president said.
Key Duterte officials who have been summoned to the quad comm hearings include retired police colonel and fomer Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office general manager Royina Garma and police Lt. Col Jovie Espenido, who testified that there was a scheme of payouts to those who killed drug suspects.
