The making of Edgar Matobato, Ex-Davao Death Squad member & star witness in Duterte’s ICC Case

- Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of violence, extrajudicial killings, and detailed accounts of brutality that may be distressing to some listeners.
Acting on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, Philippine authorities swiftly arrested former President Rodrigo Duterte on the morning of March 11, 2025. It was a long-awaited answer to calls for drug war accountability.
Duterte denies committing any crime. But before these dizzying developments, one man had already stepped forward with a chilling confession.
In this episode, we dive into the testimony of Edgar Matobato, a self-confessed member of the Davao Death Squad. Matobato's revelations provide a firsthand account of the extrajudicial killings that defined Duterte's anti-drug campaign.
Investigative journalist Sheila Coronel and an advocate for whistleblowers, Father Alabert Alejo, join us to discuss the challenges of verifying Matobato's account, the clandestine networks that offered him protection, and the broader implications for justice and accountability in the Philippines.
Naiiyak ako sa kwento ni Edgar Matobato at naaawa ako sa kanya at sa mga nabiktima ni Duterte at ng Davao Death Squad! May GOD take care of Edgar and his family!
Sana mas marami pang tao ang makapanood nito para malaman ang istorya kung paano ang nangyari

We have to share this video, so that many will see & hear. So sad ginawa ng karamihang Pilipino na hero si Duterte not knowing the real story. Let us continue to pray that the Fil. will be enlighten. It is so true may pari ako nalaman nagtatanggol here in CEbu mayroon, tama ang term mo Fr. na hypnotized ang iba blinded by the fake news🙏 Pls. sana ang bishops and priest will have a seminar at i include itong issues about this.

God works in mysterious ways.

This kind of documentary should be translated to Tagalog in order for so many voters to UNDERSTAND the issue on hand. Thanks.
True
Kaya nga
I second the.motion
Tagalog version and bisayan version so the people will truly/ fully understand
And a full English aswell, so many foreigners are following this aswell
Oh trust me he knows why he’s at ICC, one thing he didn’t know was all those people he ordered to kill are testifying against him
Si God na nag guide kay Matobato at Lascanas
*I hope many are enlightened by this insightful podcast.*
Thank you for this Podcast. We need this to show and let the people know that we are still against the cruelty of humanity. Killing people is unacceptable in every society. Fear is still a big impact circulating inside a poor needy families, so we need to help them by showing that fear will not change the bloody life going on in every innocent person if we don’t fight our fear and be brave enough to (fight) face those criminality that is practiced by those big powerful criminals. We need to help those poor people too. Thank you father, Miss Shiela for your energetic support for the innocent people. (Creid a lot with this painful stories).God bless.
Thank you PUMA for this podcast. Having 2 men, a strong and wise man and woman, coming together to such a story behind a strong person, is an opportunity. For me, not just an opportunity of information, but of knowledge in life and in faith. Salamat po kay Ms Sheila at kay Fr Alejo sa inyong katapangan, katatagan at sa inyong pagtanggap at paninindigan sa inyong dakilang tungkulin. Salamat po❤💫🎖
A very good and enlightening conversation.Thank you so much.
thank you for your podcast,sana ang mga mamahayag lagi din nilang bigyang halaga ang mga ganitong mga behind the scene stories, di puro na lang sa perpetraitor.
The truth will set you free. Confess your sin and turn around your life, ask for forgiveness and God will forgive you.
You are heroes Fr. Bert and Sheila.
*Kudos and my appreciation to everyone involved, especially Senator Leila de Lima and Senator Antonio Trillanes, for all of your selflessness and love for the country. Thank you! If not for your efforts, the impunity of Duterte may continue, and he might not face trial at the ICC as is currently happening.*
true. Salute to Sen. Leila, Sen. Trillanes at ang ibang mga tao na involved sa kanilang courage to listen &give shelter to Matobato. Ang nakakalungkot lang may mga pari na nag take side ni Duterte. I don't know if they have come across the story like this. Sana ang MAYKAPAL ay magbigay ng daan na ma open ang puso at kaisipan ng mga Pilipino🥲🙏
We hope Matobato continue his repentance 🙏
We need to have documentary interviews like this
God's hands working. Justice to thousand EJK victims

The Bible said: thou shalt not kill exodus 20:13

Thank you for sharing, first time ko na heard to.. God bless
I don't know why i am crying while listening to this. All i can say now is I THANK GOD FOR MR MATOBATO AND LASCANAS AND ALL WHO HELPED THEM . I REALLY CAN SEE THE HANDS OF God on this. Thank you Mr matobato and Mr lascanas for not backing back and fighting all the way till now.
I apologize for once supporting Duterte's war on drugs. In hindsight, I realize that it was inhumane. I sincerely pray for the victims of the drug war, and I believe Duterte must be held accountable for the lives lost.
I agree with drug war pero hindi dapat ordinaryong user ang pinatay kundii mga smuggler, manufacturer at bigtime drug lords
Maraming salamat po sa inyong tatlo very enlightening po. Sa dulo parang feeling ko po nasa Lenten recollection po ako, maraming salamat Father. Sana ilabas nyo po ito sa television para malaman ng mga millenials ang kwento na ito.
Dapat mapanood ito ng mga umiidolo kay FPRRD, na sana mabuksan na pag iisip nila.
At bakit naniwala kami kay batobato😂
mahilig pala talaga sa bato si FPRRD.. Matobato.. Sen. Bato Dela Rosa 🤔
Bulag na po sila!Kahit po ilang video Tulad nito ay di po nila pa pansinin!Dati po ipinag pray pray ko pa si Duterte!I WAS FOOLED!Kala ko mabuti syang tao!Nakakatakot pala syang tao!Akala ko si Sen.De Lima ang drug protector dati?
hindi ka naman pinipilit Kong ayaw mo maniwala
,paano paniwalang paniwala kayo kay digong at kay Mary grace piattos
@@michaelherdon2037Bulag po sila sa ibang Tao masyadong die hard fan ng iniidolo nila 😢

Very enlightening discussion! Thank you to everyone.
nagtestify si Matobato s hearing na pinangunahan ni Sen Delima at ayaw siyang paniwalaan maliban kay Trillanes at delima..😂😂😂
cayetano and the other senators joined hand to mislead and persecute matobato for his testimonies it must be reviewed now for the sake of filipino voters.
Cayetano belittled Mr matobato. Dun ko na realise na siguro totoo yung mga sinasabi ni matobato.
A Sinner, a Saint ...
God works in mysterious ways
Ito ung dapat kumalat hindi un fake news.pati ung ki lascanas..mayaor p cia ns hotspot n tau ng icc
Oh my, I am having goosebumps, which I am feeling the Holy Spirit is around the three of you. God's Spirit is opening our minds to this kind of horrifying story of a God's sent man. Thank You, dear God. You've chosen this holy day, Sunday this to be broadcasted to the world.
Did I hear it right? Ping Lacson was at the Senate hearing at the time discouraging Matobato's words? Yun po ba?
Incredible episode. When this is all done, i am looking forward to a book that details what happened from the beginning and the people involved who made this victory ( i am praying and hoping) possible.
Matobato now is in netherlands ..hope he will witness at icc..cia ang unang witness kaya tayo na hotspot sa icc
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. I hope more people can listen to this.
Hindi yan cla manunood kc na hipno yan cla sa kampon ni satanas mga devil kawawa talaga ang mga nabiktima ☹️☹️☹️

The 10 commandments were given to us by God almighty. Thou shall not kill. Do not rejoice when someone is killed. Everybody has a chance if we lose our path in life.

WATCHING FROM GUAM…. Conversation on POLITICAL FORGIVENESS AND TRUST””
No wonder sentti hates duterte so much
matobato was framed for the murder of one Mr. king and was mauled by policemen during the interrogation.
Very savage way to treat the unborn . Whoa! It is important to humanize. Matobato mentally carried the memory of his father having been killed all those years. Traumatized by the memory of the way he died.
Kaya pala pinakulong si Senator Laila.Buti nalang at Na acquit na sya .
Sen Delima started her investigation of DDS way back 2009, as a chairperson of CHR then she continue forward as a DOJ secretary then as a senator,,. She was persecuted by the FRRD trown into prison of false accusation
Please don't put in background music, its not necessary.
Sana tulungan ng govt ung asawa ni matobato, phycological and emotional s pinagdaanan nya, mahirap un 😢😢
God bless fr aliko maam shila corenel
Grabe pinagdaanan nila. 😢
Nakakaiyak ang kwento ni matobato.
Normal na sa kanya, sa pamilya nya ang manakit at pumatay ng tao. At wala syang remorse at all, sa buong angkan nya.
New subscriber here.
Pinalitan pa ni Gordon si delima bilang chairperson n comittee n naghi hearing ng EJK.. 😂😂😂
Which is what the enablers plan all along. The move was orchestrated, pinagtulungan at sobrang nilto, minaliit ang mababang pinag aralan ni Matobato.
Mabuhay ka matobato!...
Hay naku fprrd akala ba namin you are willing to submit yourself to icc. Inamin mo na ang mga kasalanan mo wag na kayong mayabang. Feeling mataas ka pa rin.
The background music is distracting. 😆
I hope this guy tells all.....
Go Matobato!
yung pinagdaan ni Matobato na hirap,ay hindi matatakpan ang numero ng mga pinatay at paano niya pinatay. yes, ako ay nagpapasalamt sa kanya,yes siya ay biktima ng maduming lipinang eto, pero kailangan niyang managot.. Pero hanga ako sa mga tao na tumulong sa kanya, from the start and until now na tinaya and tinataya ang sariling buhay just to protect the truth. Thank you
Let Rappler do the report to be more Truthful.
Pero ako hindi ko tslaga binoto,kaci d way talkedcand act_ i sized if d person is good or bad.
Very informative thank you so much
So d lng 2016 nangyayari patayan, 80 s p,kilabot mga kwento nyo father,tama Kyo ,my mission c matobato maging Kyo ginamit ng DIYOS pr malaman ang katotohànan
ngayon lng nalaman ng mundo that fr. alejo is God’s instrument to hsndle matobato. thnk u po for winning a good fight
Maybe make movie later
Tagalog po sana para maunawaan ng iba...kalimitan po kc s d nkkaunawa ay ung mababa pang unawa😊
1000 killings a month? 😮
all dds should hear Lascanas, Matobato and Acierto statements. They can also listen to Espinido, even Garma. beyond political wranglings, the icc case is all about this, the pursuit for the rule of law, due process and justice.
Since Matobato has a traumatic childhood as you said. He should undergo a psychological and psychiatric test.
sana in Tagalog version to enlighten everyone, by the way your background music is too loud fyi
Matigas kasi amg uko ng mga Pilipino, hindi talaga titigil hanggag hindi napapatay.
Salamat
ABORTION nga hanggang ngayon ay World 🌎 ISSUE na sobrang maraming legal, social, emotional, pschocological implications . . . EJK pa kaya: THE WAY THEY WERE KILLED / THE WAY THEIR BODIES WERE DISPOSED (CHOPPED BODIES PRIOR TO BEING BURIED OR JUST LEFT THEM TO DECAY / ROT😮 WHERE THEY WERE SALVAGED.
HOW CRUEL IS THAT !!!!!????
sa dinamirami nang sinasabi ni Matobato at Lascañas na pina tay nila. hihintay ako nang ebidensya
Sa Tamang panahon?
Sana po huag po sa susunod na huag po ninyong lagyan ng music background para mas maganda pang pakinggan, hope and pray more people na mapanood nga kasaysayan ni Edgar matobato
I would really like to hear what the ex president did, why and how.
