Ousted committee chairman Leila De Lima is joining the hearing.

Gordon is now calling on witness Edgar Matobato to testify.

Matobato claimed in a previous hearing that as a former member of the so-called Davao Death Squad, he had killed several criminals allegedly on orders of then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
